Voltron, ThunderCats, and Sailor Moon were my intro to the Anime World.

[luscious9lips]

Zarkon not Zarlon

[luscious9lips]

The Zarlon robeast was the toughest against Voltron and he did the most damage by far to Voltron than the other robeasts. Voltron still prevailed.

[MinisodeNetwork]

@luscious9lips He had to. He's the good guy. :-)

[mellowlanternquartet]

Actually, Voltron was influenced BY Power Rangers. The Voltron show combines footage from the animes Beast King GoLion and Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV.

Both contain influences and references to Toei's Super Sentai, the footage source of

Disney's Power Rangers.

[electricturf]

This is awesome and agree a major influence to Power Rangers.

[WendellnCandace1]

This is where the Power Rangers are originated.

[gomezevelyn]

yeah but they suck

[Orbot]

Lol, true, very cheesy! But Voltron is where it's at!!

[Brokenwingeddemon87]

really the origin made no sense unless they were originally the lion robots. cause who makes feet and hands out of loin heads? Voltron would at least make more sense if he was cast in shadow during the origin so it could be argued he looked different but he wasn't.

[SpukiKitty1975]

"Battle of the Planets" was actually an early 1970's redub of "Ninja Science Team Gatchaman"

however, I only know it via it's dubbed, heavily edited "BOTP" version. Anime purists state the original, non-adulterated "Gatchaman" version was better & gritter. However, I only nostalgicaly remember it with fondness as "BOTP"...even with Casey Kasem's voice & that dorky 7-Zark-7 Robot (who was actually American filler to add some sense to the spliced-up "Gatchaman" that is "Battle Of The Planets"!

[SpukiKitty1975]

Strangely enough, when Princess Allura took over for Sven on "Voltron", I swear, the team structure was like "BOTP/Gatchaman": The Cute but Commanding Young Leader, The Cute but Rebelious Wiseacre Young Guy #2, The Pretty Girl (named Princess), The Big Lug with a Big Appetite Who Can Fix Things & The Goofy-Yet-Agile Little Kid. Does anybody else ever notice this?

[SpukiKitty1975]

"Voltron", along with "Battle Of The Planets" and "ROBOTECH", were my first introductions to Anime. I was a big "Voltron" nut, I even had the toy "Voltron". Like most "Voltron" fans, I liked this verson (The Lions) & I had a big crush on Keith (the cute, 'bishounen-esque' Leader guy in red with the black mullet hairdo). Lance (the brown-haired guy in the leather jacket) would be my #2 fave (and he could be quite silly as well).

[MinisodeNetwork]

wow you did really like this cartoon

[SpukiKitty1975]

Yeah, and now that anime characters can pass for virtual "sex symbols", I don't feel so dorky. Of course, there's that live-action Sid & Marty Krofft "Bugaloos" fetish I seem to have. Can't help it, those weirdos are hot, even if the actors playing them now are old enough to be my parents. But hey, LOADS of horny guys go gaga over Joy the Butterfly Girl. I guess imaginary characters can be just as good a hearthrob as Brad Pitt, Pin-Ups or boy bands. Japanese toons are always unique & different.

[RetardedKitty]

I AM PEEKING OOP A BLIP!

[blakis21]

I never thought about it but it looks just like the first power rangers...?

[crb4059]

I tried once to form a real voltron out of 5 neighborhood kitties, unfortunately they clawed my face off when I try to connect the paw to anothers ass.

[kelly2charmin]

"WE'RE SPACE EXPLORERS...AND WE NEED SPACE" wow...who writes this?

[AgentCell]

"silence haggar, voltron is no match for me."

[TraciPeteyforlife]

4kids. the evil that is 4kids.

[smallclone]

holy crap this is so triumphant!

[ShaDeed329]

Voltron is the 80s Megazord!!!! Don't mess with VOLTRON!

[robotrogelio]

No! Megazord's are 90s Voltron.

Voltron came first!

[ShaDeed329]

What did you think I was talking about? You misread my comment.

[Voltronsvn]

I LOVE VOLTRON!!!

[coinages]

Did anyone notice that the voice that introduces these Voltron Minisodes is actually Optimus Prime?

[RWDederick]

Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime) did the voices of King Alfor, Commander Hawkins, Coran, & the Narrator. He also did Venger on the D&D cartoon, and a bunch of other stuff.

[sphekie]

I didn't know he did the voice to Coran.

[b75s]

Cionages, didn't know this myself until the other day, but that guy that you hear on cartoon network that saids "ONLY ON TOONAMI!" with a heavy voice is Peter Cullen also.

[MinisodeNetwork]
