Michael V. couldn’t contain his excitement for the premiere of the upcoming GMA series “Voltes V: Legacy,” as the mega trailer of the local adaptation of the popular anime was released on New Year’s Day.
The actor-comedian let out his inner Voltes V fanboy as he described the trailer as “my childhood coming to reality” on his personal Facebook page on Sunday, Jan. 1.
“Just finished watching the #VoltesVLegacy Mega Trailer… kinilabutan ako sa ganda! This is my childhood coming to reality! I know, nag-express na ‘ko ng excitement ko sa previous post ko pero this trailer got me more excited than ever,” he said.

Michael V. also addressed the bashers of the upcoming series, saying that GMA network was able to produce “Voltes V: Legacy” because it had the “right tools” and “right people.”
“Kung hindi talaga kayo fan, wala nang magpapasaya sa inyo kahit sino at kahit kailan. Marami pa rin ang mga nagpapanggap at hindi matanggap na kaya nang gawin ‘to ng network with the right tools, right people and a ton of passion,” he said. “To all the fans and the bashers, this show is for you! Wala kahit isa sa inyo ang p’wedeng magnakaw ng saya na naramdaman ko nu’ng napanood ko ‘to.”

No one can steal the joy that I’m feeling the moment I’ve seen the [trailer].)
