I am gonna be real with yall, vld feels more like Powwr Rangers than mecha

#empty thoughts #voltron legendary defender #voltron #It's like every time i see people complaining how it failed to be a good mecha anime. I am like pretty sure it is not supposed to be mecha #(To be fair tho i havent watched much mecha at all but i have watched A Lot of power rangers and the show's elements are closer to that) #Like repeated robot transformation sequence? Robot only being there for cool fights? That is animated power rangers baby! #Like they dont even sacred bonds with the robots. They are just robots assigned by colour #Not to say it was *good* power rangers cuz it is not #Power rangers were heavily focused on characters and character dynamics with each other #Each episode was a monster of the week and the plot was a character or 2 being in a Situation™ #Sometimes it was the whole team bonding #and yeah while the Red was focused each character had an arc importance and moments to shine #Something vld very much failed to do so #It was cheezy but it was fun cheezy #But yeah the robot was there for cool fights #and the character who was focus of the ep gained a power up after learning a lesson from events of the ep #I dont really recall the robot being more than that #So mecha fans saying the robot should have been more focused upon was so ??? For me #Anyway dont mind me lmao #This reminds me to rewatch power rangers i miss it
