Our humble narrator takes us back 20 years to the planet of Boazan. Baron Zander violently questions one of the horn-less alipin, accusing one of them of being a thief. Science Minister Hrothgar orders Baron Zander to stop and warns him that if he wishes to remain in his position, he and his soldiers must stop their cruel treatment of the slaves.
I didn’t expect to get emotional. But as the end (opening?) credits rolled on the first episode of Voltes V: Legacy, I did. And this is me not having watched a single episode of the original series. If I felt this excited and hyped for the series, I can’t even imagine how it must feel for fans who grew up with the original series. Especially for Filipino fans who are seeing their childhood now in a live-action, locally produced series.
