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— Batangueñong Mandalorian ???? (@violatorjr) May 8, 2023

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.

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
