You always have to respect an elder or an original, it was more dramatic and adult themed but Voltron was more light hearted, humerous and the music, wow, the music just was awesome, and when the intro and battle scenes started it just... it just pumped you up! Anyway no reason to argue which is better we have both to enjoy and perhaps experience a different version... After all its entertainment ,enjoyment and fun! Let's GO VOLTRON! GOLION!!!
in a way the voltron version helped to this anime to get known even if its censored and edited since the original golion is not well remembered in japan
Thos might as well be a different. Same with robotech/macross and starblazers/SB Yamato I have found that while these shows were popular it killed the scifi and mecha generas.
This is some crazy awesome nostalgia. Though my experience with this series was in Korean dubs and English subtitles. The Korean opening I remember as a kid... "골라이온 - Golion Opening (ver.Korean 2)" --> that's the title on TH-cam
+thomasloh86 - Odd coincidence. I learned last week that "go" is 5 in Japanese then stumbled upon this comment. 5 Lion. Being a fan of the series this blew a very small portion of my mind.
Gou is also a short way to speak "number" (like Android Number 18 from DBZ, it is spelled Jinzouningen Juu Hachi-Gou). As in english Go! is spelled /Gou/ it sounds so equal.
The only thing Voltron and Go Lion have in common are shared animation scenes. The stories, music, names, hell even part of the animation, was changed, and made American for Voltron. Voltron is an American creation, using most of Go Lion's animation scenes!
Nothing quite screams childrens TV like a show that opens with Earth devastated and destroyed, and then your main characters almost immediately captured and graphically tortured.
Maybe not in USA, yet in other countries it is very welcome to watch uncut original version. Golion doesn't hide the fact war is not a game and has devastating consequences.
I know that the Japanese version is Golion. But for some reason, I can't help but to think of the lyrics going like "Go! Go! Lion Voltron!" Mainly because that's how I came to know the series back then through the edited English dub we were given in the US. But I have respect for both versions.
Dreamworks/Universal will undoubtedly want to cash in further on the Voltron series’ popularity, so why not simply release GoLion with a whole new uncut dub?
Usually US butchering of anime is cringe inducing trash, but in this case the *incredible* and pulse raising music from the Voltron version of this show is far and away superior.
turbohusque I feel like there are extremely few anime from what is arguably the golden age of Japanese TV animation (70s and 80s) that actually had good music in their intro sequences. The vast majority is just awful, and even shows with fondly remembered music like Yamato still had lackluster intros. Similarly, the Japanese version of Mysterious Cities of Gold is an absolute joke compared to the American / Euro version. Yet somehow, the incidental music used throughout the standard anime was quite nice-only the intros themselves disappointed. Fortunately, Japan figured out how to do intros by the late 80s and early 90s, with Urusei Yatsura, Ranma, Nadia, etc.
@@TokyoXtreme Wow I can’t believe you feel that way. Hokuto no Ken had really good intro songs. DBZ Is another one. Many in the Mecha-Robo universe of the 80s had dope intros as well: Votoms (a personal favorite) spectacular intro, Dairugger XV, SeiJuushi Bismarck, GodMars and a few others. I feel like you haven’t been immersed enough into the golden age of anime to know of any good songs.
More like this ripped off sentai, which originated in the '70s and is still going on today. GoLion and Voltron respectively came out in 1981 and 1984. But sentai didn't have giant robots until the 1978 Japanese Spider-Man TV show inspired them to add mecha.
Well Super Sentai like this anime was produced by Toei. Plus this really one of the origins for the Power Rangers franchise since GoLion/Lion Voltron is part o
All this yrs.. the F! That US version voltron sh*t! Makes me wana puke! Anyway dairugger xv - voltron vehicle and GoLion - voltron lion.. is two different series.. US version did some fckng confusing sht.. in my childhood memories.. and the two series are not related.. fcked that US version!
This anime classic deserves an uncut redub!
I agree ^_^
Agreed and I like the voices to be the same as Legendary Defender the Netflix series.
Agreed
There is one. But attaining it involves breaking several copyright and anti piracy laws.
@@gamerfan1135 there is none.
The true version of Voltron!
theres no emo, so i cant accept it xD
DAIRUGGER XV

Perfectly said!
Well said, gotta say though the Voltron BGM and soundtrack totally slaps. My childhood was full of knight rider theme, Voltron theme, etc.

Haha GoLion is Voltron uncensored for adults. People got killed in this. I love both versions. No reason to hate one or the other.
agreed
I don't think it's really "for adults" as much as it is that Japan is a lot more permissive of violence in stuff for kids than the US is.
Golion is still an animation for kids.
There is. We got robbed of the original show basically
This is some crazy awesome nostalgia.

I must say, japan know the importance of music.
Remember kids
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = golion
And not 5

quick maths
I didn't even realize that was what they were saying!
Gou is also a short way to speak "number" (like Android Number 18 from DBZ, it is spelled Jinzouningen Juu Hachi-Gou). As in english Go! is spelled /Gou/ it sounds so equal.
The string music when Golion assembles just makes my heart soar
I love these 80s anime intro songs. 🙌🎶
Beast King Golion Is the Japanese version of Voltron: Defender Of The Universe ! Voltron originated In Japan as Beast King Golion.
I really wished that they had an OVA for Golion. I would've been looking forward to seeing an updated version of the characters and Golion itself.
hopefully better than the netflix reboot of voltron
@@elobservadorobservante1605 legendary defender was good
@@TonyAlexander-on4sy is mediocre
Now i know that voltron was named Golion back then
Huh you learn something everyday
GoLion walked so that Voltron could run.
The sound effect used in the title of this intro is the same sound effect of the Nara clan's shadow jutsu from Naruto.
DigiMega351 they're stock sound effects
Ale Titan Right you are!
But one thing you're should remember when THIS SHOW PREDATES THE NARUTO
I love both Voltes V and Golion.
One catchy song.
The only thing Voltron and Go Lion have in common are shared animation scenes. The stories, music, names, hell even part of the animation, was changed, and made American for Voltron. Voltron is an American creation, using most of Go Lion's animation scenes!
You and I sir know that's just Bullshit :D
So basically, Voltron is to Golion what Power Rangers are to Super Sentai (I.e an Americanised adaption).
yes sir Zetto Vii
The Fantom Convoy👑🏆
It would be if it was more popular than the original... Which it isn't.
The Fantom Convoy👑🏆
Fair enough.
This opening theme couldn't be more misleading if it tried. Ain't nothing kid-fridndly or upbeat about Golion. :p
Damian Skyfire hippy
Numbu 11,000 Incorrect, cockstain.
Nothing quite screams childrens TV like a show that opens with Earth devastated and destroyed, and then your main characters almost immediately captured and graphically tortured.
Not to mention civilians massacred with swords and machetes and later episodes

This gets stuck in my head! 😂
I love 100 beast king golion also known in America as Voltron defender of the universe
This is so freaking catchy I can't even
This is the second intro..the original one had Shirogane instead of the princess.
I love this version way better than the bastardized version
I love Lance in the current voltron but i gotta say that his 80's version (Isamu Kurogane) is actually more attractive
ONE PLUS ONE PLUS ONE PLUS ONE PLUS ONE PLUS = EPIC WIN
Was that Char narrating?
So funky and happy!!!!
Was that a King Caesar roar in the beginning?
Form feet and legs!
Form arms and body!
And I'll form the head!
Norman Jay Galman, who gets to form Voltron's balls? Voltron has no balls.
I always love these 80s anime music
PRAS ONE!
its plus 1. not pres wan
It's a joke, he's referring to the song's Engrish
Hell yeah....GoLion!!!!!!!!
I love this song
Classic 80s anime us the best kind of anime out there
Funny how Americans think that Golion is Japanese adaptation of Voltron 😂
This is where VLD gets all it's planet names and the name of the furry,Scaly purple aliens or Drules to be exact
i only listen to real music
Dreamworks/Universal will undoubtedly want to cash in further on the Voltron series’ popularity, so why not simply release GoLion with a whole new uncut dub?
How did universal owned golion?

Going to have to go with the English version on this one!
Japanese uncensored story + English music would be a good combo.
danm i miss afternoon cartoons
@Tigresskull : there's Voltron Force,which is a remake of the original Voltron.
Sir, also please check out the web series version of Voltron Legendary Defender on Netflix Movie Streaming it's cool!
Agree totally.
Wade is watching this.
Golion, AKA the show that became Voltron.
Man. Seems like Power Rangers and the Sentai or whatever it was -- ripped a lot from this
