Finally, a live-action anime adaptation that actually GOES for it.
Voltes V: Legacy: The Movie (Netflix) is a remastered, international film version of the TV show’s opening arc — designed to introduce the saga of Voltes V to both longtime fans of the anime and new audiences worldwide. Voltes V: Legacy: The Movie is a live-action adaptation of the classic mecha anime Chōdenji Machine Voltes V. This enhanced international film version condenses the opening arc of the Philippine television series, showcasing the origin of the Armstrong brothers, Jamie, and Mark as they come together to form Voltes V, humanity’s ultimate defense against the invading Boazanian Empire. With upgraded visual effects and new scenes, the movie brings the legendary super robot saga to a new generation on the global stage.
