FINALLY!

After "Chaotic Century", I didn't want Zoids to come back, but the original was SO great. Everybody cross your fingers for NO MORE CHAOTIC CENTURY RE-RUNS!

Considering that Zoids Chaotic Century is the good Zoids series I wish that was kept in circulation...I hope Tomy can keep Genesis on the same storytelling level as Chaotic Century(Zero and Fuzors being weak....Fuzors moreso)

and hoping those Hasbro Morons bring it here as quickly as posible and revive the toys too Very Happy

Fuzors was one of the worst things I ever watched. Chaotic Century/Guardian Force was a very enjoyably show for me a couple of years ago, despite the fact that Zoids is a show aimed at kids. ZERO had cooler mechs, but there was no story for me to latch onto, and Fuzors took any good qualities ZERO had and ran it into the ground. I second Vicserr's hope for a Chaotic-Century-level story to divert my attention from overly complicated plots of more "adult" shows (not that I don't like them, it's just that too many engrossing stories at once tend to suck up most of my time).

I have a hard time giving digs to Fuzor since it was canceled before we actually got to see where it was going. It seemed like it was just starting to get good.

The new Liger for this series is kinda bland though, it's just another like, but with a giant sword a swing arm. Meh, I'll take Liger Zero anyday, hopefully the new Liger has some surprises for us.

I actually liked Zero over CC, mainly because it was different. ("Young hero travels the world" is so overdone)

Why do I have a feeling that this is NOT going to be a prequel, like the name suggests?

so, is this series going to have an actual...overall... plot/adventure? Zoids: ultimate X had no real story, it was just a gladitorial game and the characters just walked areound fighting miscollanious battles. where in CC and GF there was a war going on and even right from the begining you knew what was the story was with...fiona. I just hope it isn't some crappy series like fuzors was.

I normally don't like these types of shows, but Zoids CC was fun. The characters were interesting and the second season was even better since they were years older (though the Cartoon Network broadcasts said it was only months.) If there's anything more overdone these days it's the "arena fight." Rolling Eyes Talk about leaving no room for creativity. It's all about making money off of kids and their parents.

That's why I've been reluctant to watch the rest of Zero, which I have recorded on tape. Oh well, I guess I should get to 'em! ^^
