    Kind of like...He-man or Thundercats.

    I agree with you on the nostalgia factor when it comes to He-man and Voltron, but not Thundercats.
    I didn't even watch that when I was younger, just recently got into it and I love it.

    Re: Why is Voltron on Adult Swim now instead of Futurama

    Voltron was meh. Futurama is good, but ffs I've seen every episode more times than I can count, thanks to the constant spam of it by AS. Same with Inuyasha. I won't watch Inuyasha again, and change the channel every time it's on. I'll still watch Futurama if it's a good episode though. I definitely won't watch Voltron.

    While I agree, I find it hard to take your posts seriously with your new avatar -_-
    (Yes, I realize there is irony in the above statement.)

    I REALLY hope the rumors about re-releasing that on DS with the other two are true. I'd hate to miss out, especially after the SSBB spoilers. It worked for Fire Emblem!

    Ok, that bolded part just invalidates your entire post. Power rangers came out several years after voltron. If anything Power Rangers was nothing more then a live action Voltron without the religious overtones.

    Its clearly a preemptive strike to soften us up for the rumored movie.

    Voltron and Robotech were the good 'ol days. You know, 20 years or so ago when your average afternoon cartoon line-up was heavily anime-influenced. Just like the bell-bottoms, here it comes again!

    Alot of Futurama is kind of boring at this point, but I'm still guaranteed to laugh at anything involving Zoidberg or Zapp.

    I never liked voltron much. By the time I knew of its existence there were far cooler and less expensive toys in my life.

    Voltron was basically western. They took clips of three different shows, erased the storylines, and dubbed it.

    Re: Why is Voltron on Adult Swim now instead of Futurama

    I've never even seen Voltron. I'd much rather watch an episode of Futurama that I've seen 50+ times already than an old anime that probably isn't even that great.

    Re: Why is Voltron on Adult Swim now instead of Futurama

    Who cares how many animes were spliced up to make Voltron? When I was younger it was an awesome cartoon and I probably wouldn't have cared if you had told me the "truth" about it. I agree after watching the old episodes of Voltron now, I see the edits and cringe at the horrible voice acting, but it still brings back fond memories of my childhood.

    Bingo! It may be horrible, but it was awesome when I was a kid.

    Re: Why is Voltron on Adult Swim now instead of Futurama

    if what brp says is true, than that just makes it even better. if the main characteristic of Voltron was taking smaller, less useful parts and jamming them together to make something great, then how awesome is it that it not only occurs as a storytelling element but was also mirrored in the production of the show itself!

    WHERE"D SVEN GO, SOMEONE TELL ME
    he's still right there. he just had an "operation" and finally felt the freedom to wear his real favorite color.

    Re: Why is Voltron on Adult Swim now instead of Futurama

    I never liked voltron very much, even as a kid except for the toys. There needs to be more toys made out of die cast metal.

    I do wish they would bring Robotech back for a while though. Haven't seen it on since Moltar was hosting toonami.

    Robotech was pretty damned cool. Liked that waaaaaaaaaay better than Voltron. The only part of Robotech I didn't like was that lame singing chick.
