Voltron: Legendary Defender: The End Is the Beginning (2018)
Ending that is just appropriate
The most difficult thing about making a TV show is ending it. Endings are never nice, but they are needed.
Voltron's ending might not have been ideal (as other comments might make you think) but it gives closure. It conveys a good message and made me feel happy it ended the way it did. Sure it might have been a weird pacing on the last season, but I think the last episode has some nice touches and definitely has the grandeur we are used to when things get wrapped up in this series.
The only thing that stood out to me was Shiro's ending, which just made me think why didn't they include a love ending for anyone else? Hunk and Shay would have been nice for example. Still, all in all a feel-good episode.
Don't listen to the hate and don't take it to seriously, it is in the end a show about magical space lion robots.
Voltron: Legendary Defender (2016)
One of the best animated shows out there
My friend grew up with the old Voltron series and when this one came out he was so thrilled! Kept going on and on how amazing it looks and how great the setup was. Just hearing the fact that part of Avatar production team was on it should be enough for anyone loving that series to give this one a go.
I watched it at first based on my friends enthusiasm, but I stayed because Voltron delivers so much! The characters grow and change, the plot is ever expanding and wraps up on in a grand manner every season. It might be over the top sometimes, but never too much. It takes the silly idea of a space lion robot and gives it just enough serious spin to keep it amazing through the whole show.
Animation is superb and shots are truly grand. There are so many still shots in the series that could be framed as an art piece. Along with it, voice cast and sound production do an amazing job as well. Nothing felt like it was out of place.
If you liked the Avatar series or if you have a thing for space magic, I would definitely recommend this show. It is dark at times but it always reminds you that there is good in everyone and that one should always fight for what is right. Appropriate for all ages.
