It's got that 'Avatar' humor. I'm sure folks will enjoy this. I may have to check this out.

The trailers look like it's really pushing for that anime style and it's doing a good job.

This is leagues, LEAGUES ahead of the junk pile called Voltron Force. It feels like someone wanted to put Avatar cast members in a super robot show and that is a very entertaining prospect.

My only meh is the music during the combination sequence which is OK, but not epic. How long before the Internet dubs in the Final Fusion theme or Gravion's combination theme?

The CGI stands out like a sore thumb among the decent looking 2D animation. This could be a passable show but it looks fairly mundane from the footage I've seen so far.

Uh, I think you might have mixed up King Zarcon's listing there.

Must be a real good actor if he can do the voice-over for his own voice actor.

I have to say I find the idea of not every episode having Voltron himself intriguing. I think having the characters solve some problems individually, or without the lions altogether, will give them a chance to be better fleshed out as characters. Not sure on the animation right now but I do plan to at least give this a shot. I grew up watching Voltron so I gotta give this a chance at least.

It looks great I am legitimately excited for this show and I can't wait for it to premier.

This actually looks a lot better than I thought it would. I hope it does well and turns out good.

Very excited for this one. I wasn't too thrilled when I heard about another reboot - Force ended up being a decent show but it took too long to get there. Was excited when I found out Avatar staff members were going to be working on the show. Now that I see all of these trailers, it actually looks like it'll respect itself while still having fun.

looks better than I hoped, making the fact the CG elements holding it back a bit. nd they kinda behave a bit too much like Kids. I remember Lance being a bit goofy, but also the redeemable asshat much like Gundam's Kai. This Lance just seems to bit a bit too much on the goofy side from that one scene.

But I think all these advance trailers are actually doing a good job selling the show. And sometimes some shows get better if they were a risk taker and managed to win.

I really like Studio Mir - awesome studio that has the best of the anime style with something unique - and the trailers look pretty great. Mecha isn't really my thing, but I'll keep an eye on it.

Nice to see correcting the Neil Kaplan/King Darkon credit mistake is still being ignored. XD

Edit: Okay, all clear. XD

Ahahahaha, LOL!!! Very Happy

These trailers... I'm so happy it's ALMOST JUNE 10th!!! WOOOOO! I know I'm going to go through one hell of a withdrawal after I binge watch all episodes in one day but I hope there is going to be a season 2 (and maybe even season 3).

I really want to see them grow both physically, mentally, and socially. Twisted Evil

This new Voltron certain does have my attention at the moment so I guess I'll just have to wait and see where It goes from there. Confused
