For the past few years, it has become a tradition for GMA to release trailers and updates for their much-anticipated Voltes V: Legacy project and for 2023, they dropped the Voltes V: Legacy Mega Trailer which gives us a solid look on the live-action mecha title adaptation together with it’s cast.

Check out the Legacy Mega Trailer down below:

There was a lot to unpack from this 5 minute “mega trailer’ but very quickly I’d like to say that it was in the range of “OK” to “Holy shit that was beautiful”. I just can’t make up my mind yet. There’s a lot of things to consider too before I can rank or pass judgment on what’s available.

There is one thing I definitely dislike and that’s that “love triangle” angle they injected here. Pwede ba GMA? Pag di kayo umayos baka di lang si Steve ang layuan.
