holy crap! Voltron! my saturdays as a little kid consisted of watching this show, then going to the store and getting a pack of the collectable stickers for the book. I was so excited when i got all the stickers, but it got thrown away
I Love this Anime !!! This was the first Anime series I saw all the episodes . This one is my heart !! As a kid I saw it English dubbed , I fell in love with Japanese Anime since then. Saw it in English subbed version is much Better!!!!
