According to the network, the re-airing of Voltes V will be in conjunction to the show’s 40th anniversary, which premiered on Japanese television in 1977.
The 2017 re-airing will be the fifth dubbed version of the popular anime series since it was first aired in the country in 1978, as well as the second celebrity-dubbed version since HEROtv’s “Voltes V Evolution” dub in 2006, produced by ABS-CBN, which featured voices of Dennis Trillo, Sandara Park and Michael De Mesa.
The 1999 version, which was dubbed in English and Filipino, is currently available on iflix video streaming service together with several Telesuccess titles.
As previously reported, the new dubbed version has been in the works since 2015, when Ken Chan posted on his Facebook page that he is voicing the main villain “Prince Heinell”, locally known as “Prince Zardos”.
The overall rights for Voltes V remain with Telesuccess Productions, but the show’s re-dubbing is handled by Alta Productions, Inc., the post-production subsidiary of GMA Network.
