does this qualify as an anime?

MeoTwister5 · 2016-01-05, 23:24

As long as it's still about a super force of space explorers, I'm in.

SILENTANIMELOVER · 2016-01-05, 23:39

And it makes us forget about Voltron Force. That disappointed me.

Utsuro no Hako · 2016-01-06, 00:22

New Voltron, new Macross, new Vampire Hunter D, and of course Gundam the Origin ... all we need now is an Akira remake.

While there is no further info, I assume this will be 3DGC. Mecha shows nowadays really love their CG.

Transformers Prime/Beast Hunter & the currently running Robots in Disguise (2015) were animated by Polygon Pictures whom you all know is your average anime studio who also did the adaptation for Knights of Sidonia & uh? Aijin the demi human? they do both the typical 2D & 3D CG animes, but that Transformers show was not treated as anime due to how westernized the feel is, almost having a Pixar/Dreamworks style to it, they did also Tron Uprising & one of the Star Wars spin-offs.

um, what makes you said that? its clearly still the same old traditional lion design just streamlined like the Force version of the cartoon, i mean you can see the freaking arms having lion head silhouette hands,

also its kind of funny Toei never remade Beast King GoLion for the modern era for the Japanese audiences, its more popular overseas & the western demographic along with Armored Armada Dairugger XV that became the Vehicle Voltron,

that along with Mach GoGoGo aka Speed Racer which the anime's stopped being remade till today with the last one being a spinoff which is Mach GoGoGo Girl, instead we have western made cartoon versions, don't get me on that live action movie..............

First teaser, first full look at Voltron, and a June 10th release date.

The leg insertion sequence is so Gaogaigar that I wouldn't be surprised if they were influenced by that.

Though seeing old-school mecha combination innards makes me feel optimistic about this one.

Faux Mecha · 2016-03-26, 05:22

that awkward moment when a western adaptation of Beast King Go-Lion tries to become a part of the 90's Brave series & Eldran series with the transformation sequence.

That... actually looks good.

darkchibi07 · 2016-05-11, 11:52

So how long until one of the guys gets injured, captured, or killed and then the princess takes over?

LoweGear · 2016-05-11, 19:58

Found this link to an interview that hasn't been posted here before, and I like how many anime inspirations they mention in the making of this show, especially Gundam, and even the original GoLion.

The animation reminds me a lot of Avatar/Legend of Korra, but slightly choppier.

I wonder if they going to have Keith take over the black lion from Shiro later on.

SILENTANIMELOVER · 2016-05-11, 22:30

I was a little worried after the crap-tastic Voltron Force, but after seeing the trailer, I'm kind of stoked.
