Voltes V: Legacy

While this show is still a little far from what Hollywood movies can offer, this is definitely a 10/10 as a Filipino Show. Darna TV Series is nothing compared to this even the fact that it was highly anticipated. This is 10 times better than what the Filipinos are used seeing production wise. This deserves a huge support and I hope this will just be the beginning of something great for the Philippine Entertainment Industry.

I can just imagine how better this could have been if this was a movie instead. As I watch the episodes, I notice how dependent to post production this show is. The witty thing I notice is that they focus on perfecting the VFX for the essential scenes and that's a great decision considering the budget.

I just really hope this would be the start of bigger things for Filipinos. The Philippine Entertainment Industry should take risks like this because if they don't who will? And if not now, when?

An honest review from a long time fan from the late 80s. VVL has managed to meet my expectations with the robot model, the base and most of the technical elements of Voltes V. The CGI is far better than anything we have seen so far from Philippine film and television. Though still needs a lot of improvement to be at par with international standards, but they are getting there. Now on to the story. I find some elements added to the original story like the romantic links between several characters (which I will not mention anymore as they are very easy to spot once you watch) are unnecessary and kind of derails from the original story which did not have any romantic links with the main characters as Voltes V was created with the intent to focus on family love, brotherhood and camaraderie and the Armstrong brother's longing to be with their father hence the original closing theme was titled: Chi chi Wo Motomete ("I Want Father") to emphasize the focus of family love instead of romantic love. We still at episode 19 so there are still a lot to see if the PH live-action adaptation will stay true and canon to the original story or will it be just a revised NON-Canon version of Voltes V from an alternate verse. I will update my review once we get halfway through the series @ ep 40. 😉

The bad overacting and the use of Tagalog that nobody really speaks. I mean their dialogue...who talks Tagalog like that in real life? Its very unnatural and fake... it' obvious its a script reading affair, the words tney use are so literal, it's like I'm in school again in Tagalog class learning words I'll never use in my life.

Anyway, the robots and robot fights are what keep me watching. This is one show where the CGI is better than the actors. Oh, and the cheesy love stories and monlogues are just terrible. And the premise that the audience is dumb by over explaining everything is quite funny too.

But hey, we watch for the robots anyway.

Who never knew that one day, our childhood memories will be on live action!

The graphics are beyond the expectations!

The building up of characters are well detailed, from the introduction up to the identification of the individual characters.

Voltes V es importancia!

You made the Voltes V and the Voltus V fans around the world experience the sweet childhood memories! All of memories are coming back once again.

A lot of questions from the Original animation was answered by the show.

The story is like box of gifts, full of surprises and more unexpected things!

Whoever did this adaptation needs warmest salutations!

"This scene when they assembled!!! That nostalgic OST!!! GOOSEBUMPS!!! How I wish I'm watching this with my brothers right now. Childhood memories!"

"The live-action did not disappoint. Few scenes could have been better but overall, I was very entertained. The CGI is the best I've seen so far on Philippine TV. Di nakakahiya ipakita sa international audience,

They even recreated part of the opening for Voltes V!

Voltes V: Legacy is the best live-action CGI adaptation with the best actors like Miguel Tanfelix, Ysabel Ortega, Radson Flores, Matt Lozano, Radson Flores, and Raphael Landicho

All in all, fans are absolutely hyped up for the series, with some saying it's "worth the wait."
