Here are some Twitter users’ reactions on the first episode of "Voltes V: Legacy":

My favorite change in Voltes V Legacy from the original is that the name "Beast Fighter" came from the humans and Zardos was just like
"I like that name, I'll take it!"

Just watched #VoltesVLegacyTVPremiere.

I think that the Philippine TV and entertainment industry still has a long journey ahead to totally match (or even beat) productions from giants like Hollywood and Hallyuwood.

And #VoltesVLegacy is a major step forward towards that goal. pic.twitter.com/w46CXvujEk

Riot Inc. did a fantastic job with the visuals.
May this signal the start of quality shows on broadcast TV in PH.
This is the first time in a while that a local TV show had me tune in and create this much anticipation for the next episode.#VoltesVLegacyTVPremiere#VoltesVLegacy pic.twitter.com/tPjLjveNKO

The approximately $18M 80-episodes series vs the $350M 2-hour movie. Close enough, isn’t it?

The hype is real. I am shocked. Based on the pilot--- ang ganda ng Voltes V Legacy. iba talaga ang work ng mga tao na may RESPETO sa material. The pace, build-up, composition, the effects, and the details were beyond belief.

It just had a lot of heart and I could tell it was… pic.twitter.com/spWHBh1X8N

WORTH THE WAIT.

The live action did not disappoint. Few scenes could have been better but overall, I was very entertained. The CGI is the best I've seen so far in Philippine TV. Di nakakahiya ipakita sa international audience. Almost +#VoltesVLegacyTVPremiere#VoltesVLegacy pic.twitter.com/cQpPtXvBbb
