Background[]

Voltes V Legacy is a live-action[3] television adaptation by GMA Network of the Japanese anime television series Chōdenji Machine Voltes V that was produced by Toei Company and Sunrise. The anime is commonly known in the Philippines as Voltes V.[4] GMA Network acquired the rights to make a live-action adaptation through Telesuccess Productions, Toei's Philippine licensee.[5]

Voltes V was first broadcast in the Philippines on May 5, 1978, on GMA Network with English dubbing.[6] It was banned by then-President Ferdinand Marcos on August 27, 1979, citing "harmful effects on children"[7] with four remaining episodes being unaired.[8] After the 1986 People Power Revolution that resulted to Marcos' removal from office,[9] the anime was reaired on Philippine television in the 1980s to 2010s.[7][9]

Production sets has been made for Camp Big Falcon, Boazanian Skull Ship and an underground base. The costumes took a year to produce, undergoing several revisions. Reyes, said that they had to establish a "good marriage within the "classic Voltes V" look and one that’s acceptable nowadays" when it comes to the series' visuals, adding that they deviate from using spandex for the costumes.[22]

Production was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.[22] Principal photography commenced on May 28, 2021.[20] It was halted in August 2021 due to the enhanced community quarantine in National Capital Region caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[23]
