As with most things on the web, I'm sure that I'm the last person on Earth to find out about this, but Hulu currently has both seasons of Voltron: Defender of the Universe online for Free.



I stumbled across it last night looking for my daily Conan fix only to realize it was Monday and I'd have to wait (it's a sad day when you no longer stay up late enough for the late show, but that's another story).

Not only was Voltron an awesome cartoon, the toy was the holy grail.

The Defender of the Universe ( the lion version of Voltron ) was absolutely amazing. I was lucky enough to receive one as a gift from my grandparents and it proved to be a formidable weapon during those neighborhood action figure battles.

By formidable I should really say it was a trump card. "Your transformers were all just killed by Voltron. Look, you can't argue, giant robot lion with a sword clearly defeats your robot that turns into a cassette recorder, hands down."

The Voltron argument was also highly effective against any GI Joe, MASK, Go-Bot, Star Wars, He-Man offensive. It's only weakness might have been the Robotech Skull Fighter, but we're still working out the finer details 20 some odd years later.

At any rate, be sure to check out these classic episodes on Hulu before they're gone while we work on some new scintillating stories.
