Zoids

Yeah, going by the character design alone, it looks like they're aiming for a younger target audience. Plus it's airing on Saturdays at 6:30 AM, so it's literally a Saturday-Morning Cartoon.

I'll still watch it as long as it has awesome robot fights, though.

Me too.

I'm gonna miss the older style, but the series kinda went back and forth on how serious the conflict was or not, with CC/GF and Genesis being war stories, Zero being a big tournament fight, and Fuzors being a bit of both.

The animation seems pretty nice though.

Kensho Ono as Arashi is no big deal for me. I mean, of all the lead characters from the Zoids anime series, Ruuji from Zoids Genesis is the only boy with a woman's voice.

Something I forgot to mention, the studio behind Zoids Wild is OLM Incorporated. They're mostly known for the Pokemon anime, but they've done a lot of other work. They're a major partner of Level-5 and have done cutscenes and anime adaptations for their works (Most notably Yo-kai Watch), and have also done the 1997 Berserk anime and the anime adaptation for Wedding Peach. They even collaborated with Kanye West for a music video for "Good Morning". No, really.

More information for Zoids Wild. Kaito Ishikawa (Tenya Iida, Genos, Kaki/Kiawe) will be voicing Drake, the rival character who pilots the Gil Raptor.

Also there's a character named Bacon. Yeah...Bacon.

Speaking of Bacon, he is voiced by Takahiro Sakurai.

Rokai, Deris, Hiltz, Ambient,Bit Cloud and Jean Holiday. All voiced by Sakurai.

So has there been any info on why the characters seem to have this weird glow coming out of their eyes.

It's because of the power-packed taste of SunnyD.

A 15-second teaser for Zoids Wild has been released.

Not surprised, but it's true that Zoids Wild will be like New Century and Fuzors (by that I mean a battle for fun story)? The trailer only showed us a village and a boy as well as the resident Liger.

The second promotional trailer for Zoids Wild has been released.

Also, Ami Koshimizu has been confirmed to join the cast as a new character named Sauce.

Smartphone game Zoids Field of Rebellion is ending in response to the release of Zoids Wild.

Here's another preview for Wild. It looks like a few minutes from the first episode.

I super hate the main character's dumb hair, but I might have to stick it out just because part of the Cool Guys Team appears to be a robot man who pilots a robot brachiosaurus.

That does sound like something that would be entertaining.

I'm pretty certain I have a problem, because whenever I see a giant mecha anime, the first thought in my head is "When is it going to appear in Super Robot Wars?". Now I gotta wait for this show's debut and it hasn't even premiered yet.

And woe if the anime debuts alongside Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans and DARLING in the FRANXX.

So episode 1 aired this past Saturday. Not much to say (mainly because there's no sub yet).

I honestly have to ask why closed cockpits are gone. It's like they're asking to be shot at.

Edit: And just as I say that, I find a sub.

Oh my god, I just watched the first episode. It's absolutely over-the-top baby shonen trash and I love the hell out of it. It just goes full ham from the word go and revels in its own ridiculousness. Glorious.

Where's the sub?

Should be at the usual places. I don't think I can say more.

Second episode is also up. Wonder how this show is fairing so fair.

Been a week. Only just watched the sub of episode 2 this morning, then caught ep three.

...I mean, it's nothing special really. I kinda miss the Zoids having cockpits, and they seem to lack range weapons.

Things are quiet here. Maybe Rob's ridiculously old ass is the only one bothering to watch.

I've been watching them as they've gotten subs, but not bothering with the raws. The first episode was a blast and was very reassuring about the direction the series as a whole was going to go — the second episode was largely as-expected following up on the first. I imagine the third will be about setting up Arashi leaving his village to travel with Team Supreme.

Interesting point about the lack of ranged weapons so far, but we haven't actually seen much combat in general. I keep expecting that pipe thing in the back of Wild Liger's mouth to be a gun barrel, but who knows.

Episode 3 is subbed, and 4 is out too.

Gotta say, the animation on the Zoids is pretty good. I think they move better than ever before.
