Development

edit

Voltes V: Legacy is a live-action[106] television adaptation by GMA Network of the Japanese anime television series Voltes V that was produced by Toei Company and Sunrise.[107] GMA Network acquired the rights to make a live-action adaptation through Telesuccess Productions, Toei's Philippine licensee.[108] Voltes V was first broadcast in the Philippines on May 5, 1978, on GMA Network.[109][110]

Production

edit

In January 2020, GMA Network hired Riot Inc. for the post-production of the series. Toei Company supervised the series, whom later gave an approval through a commendation letter.[111]

Mark A. Reyes was hired as the director of the television series, and has been attached for eight years, from the pitching and approval of the series.[112] Noel Layon Flores served as the lead visual designer.[113] Suzette Doctolero was attached as the writer.[1]

Production sets had been made for Camp Big Falcon, the Boazanian Skull Ship and the Boazanian Earth underground base. The costumes took a year to produce, undergoing several revisions. Reyes said that they had to establish a "good marriage within the classic Voltes V look and one that's acceptable nowadays" when it comes to the series' visuals, adding that they deviate from using spandex for the costumes.[114]

Production was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.[114] Principal photography commenced on May 28, 2021.[112] It was halted in August 2021 due to the enhanced community quarantine in Metro Manila.[115] Filming resumed on September 18, 2021[116] and concluded in August 2023.[117]

Release

edit

The series made its television debut on GMA Network on May 8, 2023.[118] Episodes were uploaded on the GMA Network's YouTube channel.[119]

Voltes V: Legacy (Japanese: ボルテスV レガシー) will be released in Japan as a 20-episode series on November 12, 2024 on Tokyo MX with Japanese language dubbing.[120][121]
