Kieth Lance Hunk Pidge and Princess Allura have successfully awakened the legendary robot guardian Voltron. After countless battles they've pushed back the forces of evil King Zarkon freeing the Princess's home planet Arus as well as their sister planet Pollux. But they couldn't save the princess of Pollux Romelle from the clutches of Prince Lotor. The Voltron force is dedicated to defense and are unable to launch a full-scale assault on Planet Doom to rescue Romelle from Lotor's Pit of Skulls. Then a batch of slaves arrives on planet Doom and with them Romelle's last hope. It's a former member of the Voltron force now a dedicated revolutionary bent on toppling King Zarkon: Sven!System Requirements:Run Time: 375 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM UPC: 631595071078 Manufacturer No: AWDVD0710

Like Robotech, Voltron is a cut-and-paste combination of unrelated series created for American TV. Part of the early wave of "Japanimation" that helped to build an audience for anime in the U.S., Voltron also contributed to the fad for transforming robot toys. The episodes inCollection Three, the "Green Lion" set, originally aired in October and November of 1984. Four young stalwarts from the Galaxy Alliance, Keith, Lance, Hunk, and Pidge, pilot the lion-mecha that link to form the giant robot Voltron; Princess Allura of the planet Arus took over the fifth lion after Sven was wounded in battle. After being missing in action for some time, Sven (who talks like Wally Walrus) reappears in episode 41, but stays on planet Pollux with Princess Romelle as an ally of the Voltron Force. In each episode, Lotor, the son of King Zarkon, and the evil witch Haggar concoct a new scheme to destroy Voltron and seize control of Arus--only to be defeated by Voltron between the last commercial and the closing theme song. Comprised of re-edited footage from Hyakujuo Go-Lion ("Hundred-Beast King Go-Lion") and Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV ("Armored Fleet Dairugger XV"), the episodes have obviously been assembled like mosaics, with extensive dialogue covering the gaps in the visuals. Like Robotech, Voltron has a special place in the hearts of adults who watched it as kids. For younger otaku, it's an example of how far Japanese animation has developed in the intervening years--and how much more sophisticated its audience has become. (Rated 7 and older: violence) --Charles Solomon

 Don't hold your breath... January 3, 2007

The picture quality and audio on the first collection released in the fall was outstanding. The only annoying thing is the inclusion of the commercial 'bumpers' that say "Voltron will be back after these messages" and "Now, back to Voltron".
I say don't hold your breath because Vol. 2 was a month late getting to the stores. Same quality as Vol. 1, but the wait was annoying. So take the original release date as a unrealistic expectation.
 good to own January 8, 2007

I have it and watched both the blue version and the yellow one both good, dont like the thing that says volton will be right back but thats ok.
I hated it being so late and now the next one has no release date ouch.
Well been waiting years for it so a couple more months for it wont hurt.
I just wonder what the black lion will look like on the dvd set??
