[dropcap size=small]V[/dropcap]oltron is one of those classic manga/animes that you would never want a remake of because of it being too precious to one’s childhood to mess up, but I must say Netflix and DreamWork’s Voltron Legendary Defender did not drop the ball on this one.
The whole franchise lives through a complete reboot of the original Japanese series and manga, Beast King GoLion and to the now Netflix original called Legendary Defenders rather than the original TV series from the 1980s, Voltron: Defenders of the Universe.

Season one premiered June 10th with 11 episodes to geek out and binge watch.
