It&#8217;s a 2-disc DVD set of all 13 episodes of this fantastic, short-lived anime show I loved as a kid. I was already a Voltron fan when this show aired, and I watched it every Saturday morning and then discussed the episode the next day with my friend in Sunday school at church. Then suddenly it was no longer being aired. Then another week went by, and I couldn&#8217;t believe that Orbots had been cancelled.  It was animated in Japan for the American audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Orbots-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Orbots-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Orbots-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Orbots-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Orbots.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So now I&#8217;ve got the DVD, and I can watch these episodes that I have not seen since grade school.
