Even the OP animation wasn't the greatest. Characters like Sincline would often go off model a lot of the time. Same can't be said for the art and animation, which shifted back and forth being okay to being pretty bad.
Although, I question some of the character's fashion choices. I could always make out what the actors were saying and what the sound effects were.Ĭharacter designs are were decent as well. Nothing amazing, but nothing super horrible either. The side characters were okay, but nothing to write home about either.Īrt/Sound: Voice acting was decent. Hys was very condensing to the main characters and super sexist. But they were such unlikable douchebags that it made me want to launch them into the sun. Not in a "love to hate them sense" like a villain. Hys and Raible, who are both more heroic characters, were flat out unlikable. (Not gonna get into why, because spoilers) Parts of his backstory also make no sense when you think about it. While his character concept was rather interesting and he was the most complex out of the main three villains, he's nothing to write home about. They came off like pieces of cardboard for the heroes to fight more so than anything else. Outside of doing disturbing actions, they had very little character and lacked any motivation for their actions.
The villains, for the most part, were completely one dimensional. Amue are my favourites in the cast, being the most fleshed out of the core cast. But they're rather sterotypical and nothing to write home about. The heroes, outside of a couple exceptions, are pretty meh.
But if you're squeamish, this is something to keep in mind before watching this.Ĭharacters: This is pretty scattered across the board.
VOLTRON DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE TV
This didn't both me as much, since I'm a fan of a lot of darker animes and tv shows. Some dark elements such as: excessive gore, people drinking the blood of the dead, decapitation, cannibalism, off screen rape, suicide, animal death and things like that. Now is a good of a time as any to bring this up.
VOLTRON DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE SERIES
But I still wish that there was more continuity in this series and it had a serialized structure like a lot of modern shows. Most of the episodes are formulaic with a few exceptions that hint at the overall plot. Pretty much your standard "heroes need to overthrow a tyrannical, alien ruler" story. Story: The overarching story is okay, but nothing super original or anything to write home about. GoLion is the subbed verison of what would be later localized into 80s Voltron. I give this series a super scathing rating of 2/10. If you want some silly mecha shows that's retro and aimed at mentally-challenged children, I'm sure you could find a better one. With that description out of the way, this series is more of a Power Rangers thing than shows that actually have heavy political messages like Space Battleship Yamato.But, hey, who gives a fuck about that, this is a kid's show and we have combining robots. Even though, on some planets, the bargain bin Zendradi are, I don’t know, mass-murdering and enslaving people.The story was pretty discombobulated because of the episodic nature, but what was more jarring was that there is little to no continuity, except for multi-parted episodes, and the characters don't grow and aren’t affected by anything at all. You're not going to find a Dessler or Gihran in this series. It's just another tyrannical, alien ruler and his asshole son.
It stands to reason that my favorite character is this entire series is Buffalon. The original Saint Seiya isn't a show know for anything more that two-dimensional character writing, but Go Lion makes it look like it's some kind of next-level psychological Neon Genesis Evangelion shit.
