Well, since there were no discussions going on, I thought I would start.
With the demise of the Voltron comics and the abomination of a script that Justin Marks wrote and the seeming lack of marketing that World Events Productions puts into Voltron, I sometimes wonder how it has managed to stay alive all this time.
I'd say it stays alive largely for the same reason that Speed Racer does: it was an early anime available to US audiences (probably other English-speaking countries as well, eventually) that lodged itself into the hearts and minds of youth in the 70s and early 80s.
I never watched Speed Racer as a kid, and so don't have any of that nostalgia. But I know many people who did watch Speed Racer who are just as excited about it today as I am about Voltron.
