Voltron Legendary Defender: More Than An Impression

When another short chunk of episodes of Voltron Legendary Defender showed up on Netflix, I started watching them at a moderate one-a-week pace. I could have been more than a little conscious, though, of comments only overheard in passing (most of them in the context of Anime News Network's message board, which can seem to tend negative) about this revival of the concept always steering away from "giant robot combat." The constant impression North American series of all descriptions can outstay their welcome among fans quite quickly may be part of what shapes my viewing habits (although I suppose I could just not turn my TV on at all and reclaim certain blocks of time for yet more upstanding activities).
