I watched this anime after it was recommended to me in a Transformers fan group. Although very old, it is pleasant to watch. The story of a combiner robot may feel cliche now, but it was probably fresh in the 70s and Voltes V is one very cool mecha with great weapons. However my favorite character was the antagonist, Prince Heinel - I wouldn't say villain, for he is not one, not for me, at least. This anime also reminded me of some childhood favorites such as "Voltron" and "Saber Rider", which was a pleasant feeling, as it reminded me of better, carefree times. Final rating:9.0 out of 10.
