Were not including any of the previousVoltronseries here because hey, thats way too obvious!
Robotech
Robotechhad a huge effect onVoltrons showrunners Lauren Montgomery and Joaquim Dos Santos.
Bothspoke to usabout the direct ways it influenced Voltron.
Dos Santos specifically explained howRobotechwas his first introduction to depth of character in an animation series.

Characters had relationships, like genuine romantic relationships.
(Also) people died and stayed dead.
That was a life lesson for me as a kid.
It features rich science fiction world building mixed with soap opera romance and a healthy dose of mecha action.
Yeah,She-Rais the perfect fit especially since its also produced by DreamWorks and is currently streaming on Netflix.
The series features the right mix of adventure, humor, and depth thatVoltronfans have grown accustomed to.
So jump in now!

Digimon
Ill say it,Voltron: Legendary Defenderis this generationsDigimonsolely for the ship wars.
Kids these days dont know the wars between Tai/Sora or Matt/Sora.
Or Tai/Matt if youre cool.
If you all think yourVoltronships are intense, YOU ALL DONT UNDERSTAND.
Also, its a legit colorful and fun series thats so much more than aPokemonclone.
Also,Digimon: The Movieis amasterpiece of cinemaand I wont hear anything to the contrary.
Battlestar Galactica (2004 Series)
Another show theVoltronproducers looked to in developing their series.
It makes sense consideringBattlestar Galacticawas also a modern revamp of a beloved but cheesy series.
After a massive attack by the Cylons, the Twelve Colonies are nearly wiped out.
The 50,000 survivors rally around the titular Battlestar Galactica and set out for the fabled thirteenth colony, Earth.
Its a rough show to watch.
Its an effective character study and deconstruction.
The series tackles themes of self-empathy, communication, and deep existential dread.
If you ever thought theVoltroncharacters were mean to each other, you aint seen nothing yet.

Evangelionis awash in symbolism and double meanings.
Every viewer will come out of the show with something different and thats what makes it so great.
Everyone will see themselves reflected in these characters and the struggles they go through.
Also, the iconic Gendo pose has made its way intoVoltronmany many times.
The Earth based Starfleet clashes with the native Bajoran populace, who were just freed from a brutal occupation.
Theres legit an episode where they all just play baseball.
How wonderful is that?
If you want science fiction with a lot of queerness, you cant go wrong withLegends of Tomorrow.
The series main character, Sara Lance, is an out and proud bisexual woman.
The series also features John Constantine, a man who is keen toflirt with anyone and everyone.
The series even name checkedVoltronin the third season finale, when the team tried to combine their powers.
Ill let the intro fromAvatarset up the story.
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony.
Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang.
But I believe Aang can save the world.
Its an early CG show but dont let that stop you, the story is the real draw here.
Its up to Graveheart to build an alliance of all the worlds to fight off the incoming threat.
The aliens are truly a sight to behold with varying types of character designs across the various worlds.
It also has an incredible joke about miners that you have to see to believe.
Sailor Moon
Look, you’ve got the option to never go wrong withSailor Moon.
Its a group of five kick butt ladies who save the world with magical transformation sequences.
Sailor Moonis fun, quirky, silly, but can also make you feel.
And honestly if youre a fan of animation/anime and havent seenSailor Moonyou really owe it to yourself.
Its rightly earned its place in history and still holds up.
Its a shame, because its a quirky sci-fi series that falls right in withVoltronssense of humor.
Its, again, the characters and world that should appeal toVoltronfans.
You love main characters with witty banter?
Lots of wacky aliens?
Out and out comedy episodes?
A willingness to get SERIOUS when the plot calls for it?
Sure, but it still has room for the jokes.
By the end Earth itself is completely different from where it started, which should sound pretty familar toVoltronfans.
This is a show with consequences that, slowly but surely, evolves over time.
And if you need a guide to thebest episodes of the series, weve got you covered.
