I DECIDED TO DO A SEASON REVIEW INSTEAD OF DOING SEPARATE EPISODE REVIEWS SINCE THIS IS ONLY 6 20-MIN EPISODES

THE ONLY EXCEPTION FOR ME TO DO SEPARATE EPISODE REVIEWS FOR ANIME/CARTOONS WOULD BE SHOWS LIKE YOUNG JUSTICE, AVATAR, AND MAYBE JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE

If you don't want "Spoilers," just read the first 3 paragraph after this sentence

I am not an old fan or a hardcore fan. I just found this on Netflix and when I heard Netflix was going to do a series it caught my attention. I am up to date with this new series and I saw some old videos back in the late eighties. I strongly believe that this new series brings old and new fans together

This series is like Star Wars and Transformers put together. That is my take on how to describe this show. It is like Star Wars cause you have outer space with giant space fleets, different alien civilization, and a powerful evil organization that has over the galaxy. Star Wars has the Galactic Empire or First Order while the universe of Voltron has the Galra Empire. The major difference is that characters in Voltron don't use the force instead they use giant robot felines the size of transformers that can merge into one bigger robot called Voltron. The concept is pretty fucking cool.

I enjoyed watching season 5. I don't know why the people behind this decide to cut the seasons from 13 episodes to 6 episodes after season 2 but it doesn't bother me because they still release the same amount of episodes yearly. The only way you dislike it or be uninterested is if you don't like the concept of this show. Season 5 shows we are getting closer to the end of the epic war between the legendary defenders and the Galra Empire with season 6 or 7 being last season of the series. Season 5 is an enjoyable roller coaster ride where it starts off great then amazing then great then amazing then great then interesting.

My Grading Rubric:

Top Left: AMAZING | Top Right: GREAT | Bottom Left: OKAY | Bottom Right: SHIT AMAZING > GREAT > OKAY > SHIT

Episode 1: The Prisoner

This episode picks up the story of Pidge. You have to watch the episodes/seasons before in order to really enjoy it. Before this season, Pidge was looking for her older brother and now she and her brother are looking for their father. There is nothing really flashy and the team doesn't FORM VOLTRON but you get to see the green lion go into action so thats pretty cool.

Episode 2: Blood Duel

This is hands down one of the best episodes of the series. You have two big characters (Lotor and Zarkon) fighting each other in an epic hand to hand combat. This is not the only fight scene but you also have Voltron coming in to battle to destroy fleets but that is an extra bonus. You have epic action and you also have a huge story progression all at once.

Episode 3: Postmortem

This episode can feel a bit random as one of the factions from the Galra empire invades a planet but is later stopped by Voltron. The battle was pretty cool but not as cool as "Blood Duel." This episode is trying to show how powerful the entire Galra empire is and how the war is far from over.

Episode 4: Karl Zera

I gave this episode amazing because it is a very major plot. You have leaders from factions coming together fighting one another to be the leader of the Galra empire. That is like Star Wars where you have powerful characters who are on the dark side fighting each other to be the leader of the Galactic Empire or leader of the first order.

Episode 5: Bloodlines

This is most comedic episode out of this season. You also have two separate stories not correlated to each other with one building up while the other ends with Keith finally meeting his mother. This is a pretty big plot point because in the beginning of the series we don't really know his origins with his parents or one of them being Galra. Again you have to be up to date to really enjoy it.

Episode 6: White Lion

This episode is very INTERESTING. Allura and Lotor go deep into the white hole to find a place that uncover more of their origins. It's like finding a lost city in the video game Uncharted. Also the episode raises questions like is there another lion? From the first episode it was always 5 lions but it seems there could be a 6th lion. This episode is pretty much adventure and ends with a cliffhanger of the team with Lotor being tagged by Haggar.
