Am I really middle aged already? I don’t feel it…and hopefully don’t look it! But we can still be thankful to Hulu for releasing Voltron for streaming on its site. Now, I’m not a fanboy, but I loved those anime cartoons when I was a girl…I didn’t know at the time that they were meant for such a thing as “fanboys.” I just thought they were cartoons. I very much enjoyed Voltron, though I think Thundercats was more my favorite, if just that I wanted to grow up and become Cheetara.

Voltron was probably the first thing I watched that introduced me to the concept of the giant robot. I wasn’t so much into the Transformers but Voltron I dug. I’m not sure why…maybe it was the way the lions roared when Voltron swung his mighty fists out.

At any rate, you can enjoy Voltron episodes, in order, on Hulu, for free. And when you are done, watch He-Man and She-Ra. Yeah!

Here’s the first episode of Voltron…which, ironically, doesn’t actually include a real appearance by the big bot:
