The original anime classic, Voltron, makes a comeback in a daily series

Redwood City, Calif. (April 21,2011) – In the 80s, one anime cartoon invaded homes with robots that were loved by good, feared by evil. After blazing onto TV screens in 1984, Voltron:Defender of the Universe quickly became a top-rated animated series. The hit series inspired a best-selling toy line and made Voltron a pop culture icon. MYXTV proudly brings back Voltron:Defender of the Universe in its original form, on primetime. The series premieres on April 25th and will air Monday through Friday, 7:30pm ET/4:30pm PT on MYX TV.Voltron features a team of five brave pilots, known as the Voltron Force, whose individual lion robots join together to form a giant super robot as they defend the galaxy from evil. The classic show was adapted from a Japanese anime series.

"We couldn't be happier to bring theclassic episodes of Voltron back to our fans, and to MYX TV, a perfect outlet for our content,” says Tiffany Ilardi, Managing Director, World Events Productions. “With such a big year ahead of us, including a new Voltron series debuting in June, we can't think of a better time for this partnership."
