Voltes V: Legacy to be Shown in Cinemas Before TV Premiere

Before its TV debut this summer, Voltes V: Legacy’s three-week episodes will be shown in selected SM cinemas.

Voltes V fans are in for a treat. GMA announced that the first three weeks of Voltes V: Legacy episodes will be shown in selected SM Cinemas this summer before hitting televisions this April.

Tickets for the showing started being sold last March 25 and the complete list of SM Cinemas where families and fans can watch has also been announced.

“Be one of the first to see the brave Voltes Team and their super robot battle the evil Bozanian Forces in theaters on April 19.”

The movie version will be shown from April 19 to 25.

Long-awaited debut

GMA’s adaptation of the Japanese anime was first announced in 2020 and 2021 with various teasers. A featurette followed in 2022.

In 2023 after the New Year countdown, GMA launched a mega trailer, signifying that it will finally be shown on television.

Directed by Mark Reyes, Voltes V first aired in the Philippines in the late ’70s and ’80. Unfortunately, the late President Ferdinand Marcos banned the show due to its alleged violence. After the 1986 People Power Revolution, the show returned with its dub in both English and Filipino.
