Otaku Tarot

My sister just told me about something that caught her eyes on deviantart.

Seeing who the author choose to represent the Lovers in her Otaku Tarot, I'm not surprised:

I must admit, I'm very fond of the Hermit card...

And while I recognize almost every characters and the anime they come from, I never heard of Voltron...

I love these! Thanks for posting the link!

And you never heard of Voltron?! Wow. I don't ever remember watching the show, but I did have one of the toys when I was a kid. I miss my Voltron toy *cries*

*grin* No need to thank me; I knew you would like.

Well, I'm not sure it was ever translate to french; I remember a lot of cartoons and anime, but not Voltron.
And I don't know how old or recent is it...

I think Voltron came out around 1984 (at least the English version, original language is Japanese). I'm not sure though.

And it was translated into French. According to this site, it first aired in France on September 9, 1988.

And something interesting Wiki has to say about the English version:

The adaptation was not a straight dub, however--as much violence as possible was removed from the original Japanese series, and the dialogue was based on what the USA production team could deduce from the on-screen action, as none of them spoke Japanese.

I now have the urge to hunt down the Japanese version (and hope it has English subtitles).

Thank for the infos.

Even if it was aired again after 1988, it mustn't have been among the various cartoons and animes my brothers watched, or I would at least know the faces of the characters...

God knows they watched a lot of things back then...
