How does one start the similarities?

A team of 5

They fight against overwhelming odds.

Both have a hero vehicle of sorts. In Golion(voltron) It is 5 armored mecha resembling lions, that can combine into a giant singular humanoid mecha.

In Gatchaman (Battle of the Planets) the team has one giant singular ship that has mini vehicles inside of it (such as a smaller fighter, a rolling 4x4 and a motor bike)

both series the cast is dressed in a Ccrayola box of colors.

part of a classic genre of episodic action tales. Both are very similar.

There is a web of shows that have a hero machine, but these two share more in what they fight.

Both titles have large beasts that the hero mecha has to fight, that are more on the magical side.

In Golion it is more a team, in Koutetsu it is more a pair. But there was a combination sequence much like Golion(Voltron). Except the pilot in Koutetsu who actually transforms into the head.

I originally saw Koutetsu as (El Vegador) and Go Lion as Voltron, but the similarities are very much the same.

Both are early 80's anime that feature mechs that combine to form a larger mech.  In both series, the heroes go against an empire led by an evil tyrant.  Of course, there are some differences (such as the fact that the mechs in GoLion are piloted by a team, while in God Mars the six robots are all controled by one person.  Also, God Mars features psychic/superhuman powers about as much as the mechs, while GoLion does not).  Stiil, if you like classic combining mech anime, then you will probably find something to like in both series.

Aquarion Logos

Aquarion Logos

Long ago, the human voice defined the true nature of everything. That is, until text came along and opened up the Logos World, a futuristic battlefield where monsters loom. These monsters, known as M.J.B.K., are spawned from texts injected with the magical syringe of Master Sougon, the mysterious gatekeeper of all written words. When these texts are injected, their concept on Earth is erased, and an M.J.B.K. is born in the Logos World. Lucky for humanity, there are a group of young-gun heroes known as the Verbalism Club who counter the text monsters with their Aquarion vectors and the art of voice. It's up to self-proclaimed savior Akira Kaibuki and the rest of the Verbalism Club to protect the world from being erased as long as their silly antics don't get in the way.
