30 episodes of Voltron: Defender of the Universe is now on Hulu.com. For readers that know what this is, you favorite 80’s cartoon is back. (What color lion were you?) If you don’t know, here’s a description:

Voltron: Defender of the Universe is the futuristic tale of a time when the universal forces of good have consolidated into the Galaxy Alliance. Its mission: to explore the universe to help those in trouble and to fight the dark forces of evil. The Galaxy Alliance send five determined explorers to search for the secret of Voltron on the planet Arus. Thus ensues the exciting adventures; five fierce lion-robots combine into one great robot-warrior, VOLTRON.

FYI – load times maybe slow cuz too many people wanna watch Voltron. Yes, that’s Optimus Prime’s voice from Transformers as the narrator for Voltron. Also doesn’t the Far East Movement album “Animal” look like it is inspired from Voltron?
