    Re: Voltron on DVD

    They did plenty of editing out the violence and sexual scenes from those cartoons. Especially the deaths of major characters. Macross kinda changed that, though.

      I'm getting it. I have the Transformers and Thundercats dvd sets and my lil 4-yr old nephew LOVES em. Can't wait till he sees Voltron - he's gonna go nuts. It's awesome to see him so into the toons that I loved back in the day.

        I picked this up last week. The 5.1 surround remix really sounds outstanding - in fact, better than some movies. If you want a taste of your past, you won't be disappointed.

          I'm normally a sucker for anything that has some nostalgia attached to it for me, but some shows don't hold up well enough for even nostalgia. Voltron happens to be one of them. The toys still rock though.

            Battle of the Planets was an adaption of an original Japanese cartoon - Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman (Science Ninja Team Gatchaman) Basically, to make it appeal more to Western audiences they removed lots of the violence inherent in Japanese cartoons, and translated and simplified the story to make Battle of the Planets. An even later remake saw the series renamed to G-Force.
            Yeah, Gatchaman was the original Japanese version. They have the entire series at BB, it is named Gatchaman (1-6 box sets I think). It sounds as though the original was really violent and quite intense! I am going to get them.

              Yeah it was. But I heard the those are some what bootlegs. But I am still getting them along with Battle of the planets. I found out they made three Gatchaman, Battle of the Planets and G Force. Casey K. was the voice of Mark in BOTP lol. But Gatchaman was the best. I used to love to watch Ultraman too lol.

                Yeah, I think Kasey's voice brought the character of Mark to life. My favorite ones are when Mark throws that little boomarang sonic bird thing. And when they form that Pyramid, and when Mark does the whistle.

                Ultraman!! Man I used to love watching that. I remember going to visit my cousins in Philly and watching that, and getting mad because they never broadcast it in NY. He used to get beat down by the baddest monsters Japan had. I remember that he had that light on his chest when he was really about to get killed. But another good one was the little kid that controlled Giant Robot. The robot had a pointy head and missiles that shot out of his fingers. He helped Godzilla (I think) fight some monster in one of those movies that used to come on at 4:00 in the afternoon. In NY it was called monster week. I really liked that one. He used to do a right L, left L, arms straight up, then fly.

                  Nova or anyone, especially if you are in your 30's I have a question? Do you know the name of the Show where there was three robots and they turn into rockets. And they were a family. They live in a volcano. I think the dads name was Gold something. I watch it as a kid. And I can't remember the shows names. Thanks for any help guys.

                    I remember that show! I used to watch that in Philly as well. It was a Gold character a Silver character and a third. I will try to get some info on that. Do you also remember Johhny Sokko? Man, these shows bring back memories.

                      Yeah sure do. lol Yeah that family robots have been getting me. The dad is a big robot and the boy and women are actually look human. But they turn into rocket and fight crime. It sounds cheesy, but I really like that show and would love to see it now.

                      wow that does bring back memories. I watch sokko a lot. remember spectreman he was a copy of ultraman.

                              You got that right. I have been looking for that for years lol. but $85 seems to much for something that I probably would think is cheesy now lol. But I am thinking lol.

                                Yeah, those prices are steep. I am contemplating getting Johnny Sokko. I will look around and see what I can find in regards to prices and let you know what I find.
