>>9230971>Why didn't they adapt Albegas before Dairugger then?Lion Force got too popular. And localizing anime was a tricky process anyway. Lion Voltron only exists because the producers initially wanted Daltanious, but couldn't remember the name when they sent in to request for tapes, and asked Toei for the "The one with the lion". When they got Golion they liked it enough to localize it instead.
As for the mixup, 80's parents just heard "Voltron" and looked for whichever one. Lion Voltron was marketed as "Voltron III", the other two as Voltron I and II so when kids asked for it on Christmas lists parents just picked whatever the could find. As you can imagine WEP wasn't the most well put together company.
