The Second Season For 'Voltron Legendary Defender' Is Now Finally Out

In case you missed it, the second season of the Netflix exclusive Voltron Legendary Defender was released recently and it's really rather good. Essentially, Voltron Legendary Defender is a reboot of the classic Voltron cartoon from the 80's. That in turn was comprised of two disparate super robot anime series called Beast King GoLion and Armored Fleet Dairugger XV. The former series, GoLion, is what many regard to be Voltron in terms of the mecha as well as the story and Legendary Defender builds on that. To the extent that when I interviewed Joaquim Dos Santos, one of the showrunners for Legendary Defender, last year he was quite upfront about GoLion's influence: We definitely had the benefit of being able to go back and watch the original Beast King GoLion while researching for this show.
