You're looking at this through nostalgia glasses, that's why you're busting your pants. Sure, the actors/celebs are rough, but they actually did a more or less decent job for newbies (although I admit Sandara is a lost cause and Joseph's Zardoz is quite deficient). I loved Nikki's Zandra though, she really sounds like a noblewoman, and Michael (De Mesa) really suits Dr.Hook to a T. Sorry, but unlike most of you, I'm very satisfied with this version.

This may be deviating from the topic, but I just watched the finale of Daimos.

This bears strong resemblance to the way Voltes V ended.

Ulrich, the Brahmins' prince, sacrificed his life to let Richard and Erika be together in the end -- exactly the same way Prince Zardoz gave up his life to allow the Armstrong brothers to be together with their father and for the Boazanians to be saved.

Credit this to creator Tadao Nagahama's vision. Being a Romantic author, he lent humanistic stories to his robot creations.

Hallo! Dapat sana iyon na lang mga voice talent ng DZRH ang kinuha ng Hero TV para iredub ang Voltes V. Karamihan sa mga voice talent ng DZRH ay matanda nga, pero kaya nilang magboses-bata, tulad halimbawa nina Susan Lemon, Vilma Borromeo at Marichú Villegas.

obvious naman na nakiki ride lang ang abs-cbn sa popularity ng voltes v! alam naman natin na sa sa GMA-7 yang voltes v at thank God na nasa kanila pa rin ang broadcast rights ng voltes v sa free tv. lumalabas na naman ang kaswapngan ng ebs-lbm este abs-cbn at pati voltes v ay pinirata rin nila na kagaya sa pamimirata sa mga talents ng GMA-7!

brothers? hindi niya kapatid sila kit at romy. ang sure, siya yung tatay nung nasirang teddy, yung original guitarist ng the dawn.

now back to regular programming. salamat po.

Meron pang isang Diaz, si Vic Diaz. Like his brothers, he too played the contrabida all the time. Siya, buhay pa ba?

2007-07-13T02:01:00.000-07:00

the first time i heard about this redubbing thing was to check the cast. napailing ako in utter disappointment. kala ko pa naman, makakagawa na ng new generation of followers ang voltes v.

i didn't have to watch the first episode to find out. dun pa lang sa presscon na inere sa news, bagsak na ang bataan. casting jett pangan as draco was bad enough. tapos sandara park as jamie?!?! nagbibiro ba sila?

never mind quality programming. never mind kung sablay yung boses dun sa character. as long as sikat yung kasali, siguradong kikita.

kumita ba naman? sus, modesty aside, i can do a better voice job at half the talent fee.

kaso, hindi naman ako sikat e.

i grew up WITH voltes v. for me, kabastusan at insulto ito sa legacy na iniwan ng series sa pinoy. maybe the people behind this evolution ek-ek were born in the late-70s kaya ganun na lang kung tratuhin nila.

or maybe, they were more attracted to the sound of the cash register.

na hindi naman tumunog. ire-redub pa e mas magastos pa yun kesa sa i-reshow yung original english dub.

between this sorry piece of a redub and iron man #28 (sa q-11 ba yun?), parang mas gusto ko pa ata yung huli. at least, gigantor yun, no?

haaay naku... like i always say, they don't make 'em like they used to.

di-hamak na mas magaling pa ring doctor smith at doctor hook si JOONEE GAMBOA!!! walang kokontra!!! mwehehehe...

2007-07-12T05:10:00.000-07:00

I hate those big TV companies... I get their point by hiring big name actors and actresses, but they SHOULD MAKE SURE THEY CAN DO PROPER VOICE ACTING.

I for one would choose unknown people who can deliver those lines properly than Sandara Park and Co.

I sooo wish I had an indie dubbing studio... I would kick their arses.

mmmm... sagwa pa rin dahil si jet pangan ang boses...

2007-04-15T00:21:00.000-07:00

mmmm... sagwa pa rin dahil si jet pangan ang boses ni draco! dapat humanap sila ng totoong kontrabitda para sa boses.

2007-04-14T23:20:00.000-07:00

I don't know, but I actually enjoyed watching the new Tagalog dubbed Voltes V. (I couldn't stand that they added "Evolution" to the title, but anyhoo...)

I am a die-hard fan of the original series, falling in love with it when I was 6 years old, and feeling outraged when it was pulled off the air. Fast forward many years later, and I bought the entire series on VCD. I watched, with tears in my eyes, whilst reliving my childhood with each swipe of the laser sword.

My curiosity was piqued when Hero TV announced this new dubbed version... I opened my mind and gave it the benefit of the doubt. And yes, I enjoyed it.

What irritated me about the original series is the mispronunciation of much of the English, so I felt a great measure of relief when the Tagalog version came out (and the fact that an actual little boy dubbed the role of Little John).

I shall always look upon the original series with nostalgia and a tear in my eye... but I have to say, I looked upon the new dubbing with doubt, and came away very happy.

2007-03-13T07:30:00.000-07:00

BASTA PRODUCE NG ABS-CBN WALANG KUWENTA. PURO PERA LANG ANG NASA ISIP NG MGA IYAN WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THEIR SHOW. PURO NON-SENSE ANG SHOW NILA. LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THEM NOW.

2007-03-13T07:00:00.000-07:00

well, i quite agree to your post and it is really disappointing that i couldn't bear to watch it.

it destroyed the beauty of the original voltes v... argh! how low could they get to promote stars, not that they don't have much talent, but doesn't have the right voice for dubbing... oh yeah, there's initial d fourth stage for animax who used angel locsin and mateo guticelli which is not good either...

2007-02-09T17:05:00.000-08:00

I am still lucky then because I was not able to watch it. I never wanted to watch it in the first place. It was all for good reason that I did not dare watch it. I feel sad for the kids watching it because they want to learn what the hype about Voltes V is all about. Voltes V nostalgia rages on even here at the office.

2007-02-09T11:08:00.000-08:00

oo nga naman, patay na si max. i guess some of our friends here haven't been back home to know the lates showbiz news kaya they don't know who has been gone. pero may alam ako na dapat talaga maging draco at bagay na bagay. ang walang kupas na kontrabida na si PAQUITO DIAZ! bwahahaha!

I hope they don't try to do this with Daimos!

2007-02-09T01:15:00.000-08:00

whoever suggested the brilliant idea that instead of jett pangan voicing draco, it should have been max alvarado (see the reactions collected from the pinoy blogosphere), well i guess i must break the news that max alvarado is already dead--since 1994.

2007-02-08T22:04:00.000-08:00

they really really messed up big time doing this. pati yung pamangkin ko, he likes the original better. we both agree that the voices on evolution are too annoying to watch.

2007-02-08T22:01:00.000-08:00

this was a horrible idea. hearing the bad voices killed the nostalgia for me. buti na lang may vcd box set.

2007-02-08T21:59:00.000-08:00

myke pare, excatly! talagang puro pera lang ang nasa isip ng abs-cbn. it's a good formula diba? get something classic, tapos give it a modern twist... kuno. pero really, they ruined it by hiring these talentless people. yung isa taga pinoy big brother pa na wala namang acting experience! i'm a dawn fan to bro, pero hindi talaga bagay si jet to play draco. can you just imagine draco singing enveloped ideas? LOL!
