Are y’all excited to watch Voltes V: Legacy? | via philstarlife
Fans are also waiting if GMA-7 can pull off a series that is heavy on special effects. The Kapuso network is known for making fantasy shows—their 2000s showsare highly regarded for being ahead of their time. Despite this, naysayers aren’t confident: just see the fan reaction to GMA-7’s 2018 action fantasy showVoltes V: Legacy
This isn’t to mention that local TV does not get many opportunities in adapting animated source materials to live-action properties. How will GMA-7 translate, an action-heavy series with a monster-of-the-week format, into the local soap opera template? Will it remain faithful to the beloved anime? Will it keep the show’s 70s cartoon aesthetics or will it go for a more modern and realistic look?Of course, it’s a lot to expect those answers from a five-minute trailer.
Here, we see that the show will not shy away from the colorful, slightly theatrical visuals of cartoons in the 70s. Martin’s Prince Zardos, much like his animated cartoon counterpart, dons his iconic spiky-collared blue overcoat over a red baroque military uniform with gold button-chains. The live-action version, though, adds padding to the uniform instead of employing the plain spandex-like uniform of the original. Many fans reacted negatively to this change, but it’s an indication that the show knows what to change from the source material—plain multicolored spandex uniforms will look a bit out of place in the show’s serious, mostly industrial visuals.
