The Voltron Collection 1 DVD set, Voltron: Defender of the Universe Collection One: Blue Lion, starts the classic 1980s robot series with episodes 1 to 15 on three discs. Media Blasters released the Blue Lion collection under its Anime Works label in 2006, with about 375 minutes of episodes.
This is a pre-owned copy in Good condition. Although the listing was filed under Blu-ray, its UPC belongs to the DVD release, so it plays in standard DVD players and in Blu-ray players.
Voltron: Defender of the Universe follows five space explorers who pilot robot lions that combine into the giant robot Voltron. They protect the planet Arus and Princess Allura from the warlord King Zarkon and the witch Haggar, who sends monsters called Robeasts against them.
The English voice cast includes Neil Ross as Keith and Pidge, Michael Bell as Lance and Sven, Lennie Weinrib as Hunk, B. J. Ward as Princess Allura and Haggar, Peter Cullen as Coran and the narrator, and Jack Angel as King Zarkon.
Collection One opens with "Space Explorers Captured" and "Escape to Another Planet", follows the hunt in "A Ghost and Four Keys" and "The Missing Key", and continues through "The Princess Joins Up", "Secret of the White Lion" and "Give Me Your Princess".
Media Blasters released Voltron as numbered collections, each named after one of the lions, and Collection One is the Blue Lion set. The series was built from the Japanese anime Beast King GoLion, which was dubbed and re-edited for American television. This set is the natural starting point for the Voltron Defender of the Universe DVD collections.
Keep going with Voltron Collection Two: Yellow Lion, then Voltron Collection Three and Voltron Vol. 4 in its tin case. Browse more in our anime collection, or read the Wikipedia article on Voltron: Defender of the Universe.

Brings me back to my childhood
I grew up with Voltron. The toys, the TV shows you name it. I can still remember my 11th birthday getting the full Lion set. I had forgotten that this series was on DVD. My son is 7 now and loves these style of cartoons. I purchased this for him and we both watch it together. Kind of silly, but we never really grow up. DVD’s are well made, good art work and the case is a great addition. One thing I really like about this set is the ability to play all the episodes on a loop. I can set it and he can watch them all.

Love
I bought this product because my youngest son loved it when he was a child. So right before he left for his second tour of duty in Iraq, I bought it for him for Christmas.
Even though he is a husband, father, brother, son, soldier, police officer and training Captin for a state prison here, for a moment in time he was the child again. His face lit up and he said my favorite of all times.
I pray he will be home again in time for Christmas. If I can afford it I will be buying more for him. So for all the parents out there who have a son who loved the Voltron cartoon get this and you will see the child once again. I pray for all of our troops over seas.

Been waiting for this one.
I’ve been waiting for the dvd release of Voltron – Defender of the Universe. The copy ones on other websites don’t cut it, the beautiful case and artwork makes it worth it. The animation is clearer and smoother, hence the touchup. A must have for Voltron fans and for people who likes animation in general, brings me back to when I was young.
Con: The only thing bad I have to say is that I have to wait for collection 2……instead of offering all at once. NO BIGGIE!!!!!! I still buy it.

VOLTRON LIVES!!
First of all, my apologies to Amazon…I had this item preordered and then I cancelled my preorder today when I was able to get a copy from a national electronics chain with a price tag for a logo…TWO WEEKS SOONER THAN AMAZON WAS GOING TO GET IT!!
The packaging is great…Just one look at the tin with the head of the blue lion on the front and Princess Allura on the back shows just the surface of what is inside.
The episodes are just about as you remember them, just better looking.
Hardcore fans will notice certain minor things that are different, but they are just minor. One of those items is that the on screen fonts used for scene locations and the end credits are totally different than the original shows…There is a reason for that. If you watch the “making of” DVD feature on disc three, you will see that Media Blasters had to go to Toei Animation in Japan to get a new digital copy of the original animation film since the World Events Productions broadcast copies were to “blurry” to even work with. What this means is that MB recreated each scene frame by frame, matched it up with the audio tracks, and rebuilt each episode practically by hand to give us the best experience ever.
Someone over on the Voltron.com message boards posted side by side comparisons of the new US release and a Aussie DVD release in terms of picture quality, and the US release is hands down the best.
I can’t wait for the next volume to come out later this fall as well as the eventual subsequent releases of the rest of the Lion Voltron series, Vehicle Voltron and the Japanese originals of GoLion and Armored Squadron Dairugger XV
If you are a VOLTRON fan, don’t wait, get on board now!!
