Voltes V Evolution Alienates Original Fans
By: Edwin Manalo
Launched by anime channel Hero TV (a subsidiary company owned by ABS-CBN), Voltes V Evolution promised to capture the hearts of a younger generation that never got to enjoy this animated classic. Voltes V first aired in the late ’70s right till about the early ’80s; but not even Voltes V’s Laser Sword could stop Marcos from pulling the plug on the show. The people behind Voltes V Evolution cast some of today’s hottest stars to re-dub the character voices, thinking that it would definitely appeal to this new generation of viewers. Being a big Voltes V fan myself, I wasn’t really sure how good this newly re-dubbed series would be; but I gave it chance and watched several episodes, hoping this would pacify this die-hard fan’s inner voice. After a few weeks or so, I was curious to find out what other fans had to say about Voltes V Evolution.
