"Yamato: the Yamato was a real battleship launched by the Japanese during Worls War 2. Touted as their ultimate warship, it was sunk quite quickly... but in the future it will rise again! Retrofitted with Alien Technology such as a wave motion engine and a unstoppable wave motion Gun, it would go on many voyages.... and thanks to a very jumbled continuity, be destroyed many more times. Still, it's the ultimate spaceship in all of anime - Japan's 'U.S.S. Enterprise' if you will. In the American dub Star Blazers, it was called the 'Argo'."
As for me personally, my favorite anime Is Rurouni Kenshin (called "Samurai X" in the dubbed English version). Comedy, action, very good. The OVA Series of Kenshin is, in my opinion, the Greatest Anime EVER. Plus, since it is a stand alone, you dont have to be familiar with the series to enjoy it. If some of you people have Direct Connect (Look at my thread in the Geek Zone), I'll glady share it with you.
Actually, I was trying to bring up the fact that this guy painted his hockey equipment with Voltron. I just set it up with how I like the Star Force....
Now, if he made his helmet look like one of the two guys in G-Force, that would be cool. Voltron, just Geeky.
Oh, lets compare Voltron and G-Force (AKA Battle for the Planets):
G-Force: Leader, Brooding strong silent number 2, Chick, Big lug, small dorky looking guy
Voltron: Leader, Brooding silent guy (gets captured), strong number 2 (might have been 3), Princess, Big lug, small geeky looking guy.
Ships combine to form the ultimate battle weapon: Pheonix vs. Voltron, misc. vehicles vs. 5 lions
All wear goofy battle outfit: G-Force as birds, Voltron as cooresponding numbers and colors.
Now, if any of you seen the spoof Dyna-man which appeared on USA Night Flight, we could compare that to the original Power Rangers. Dyna-man, I thought, was a spoof on Voltron.
