      Great video as always bud, I actually think a lot of answers were given in the in the Zoids Legacy video game. 8f I remember correctly it had exact figures and dates for some of the major events in chaotic century and new century along with bringing the extensive cast from both series back and I thinks it's a must play game.

    To add to the connections between Chaotic and New Century: the "organoid" system, although never outright stated, just feels heavily implied to have been Zeke and Shadow that somehow transformed into the Liger Zero and Berserk Fury over time. It would make a lot of sense, but the fact that they never directly make this connection feels like they were playing with our imaginations, which seems more fun somehow.
    It also seems possible that Bit was a distant relative, possibly a descendant, of Van and Fionna, and Vega had some connection to Raven and Reese, just going off of their appearances. But, that might be stretching it just a bit.

    Moonbay's Gustav also shows up in the background of New Century Zero. It's a distinctive one because it's got one of its red sections that was replaced with a grey one after it took the hit from Raven's charged particle cannon. I don't have the episode number but I remember that clearly.

    Here's a bit of trivia from an x-Xebec employee...
    When they were developing the story for Zoids Chaotic Century, it was also Xebec's first time to purchase 3D Software... namely Softimage 3D (the software is even mentioned in the credits). The Writers, and the studio were so enamored with the tech that they named the 3 Organoids - Ambient, Specular and Shadow after the 3 basic parts of a 3D Shader - that which makes up color and lighting on a 3D object. The only exception to this naming scheme is Zeke, the Van's own Organiod.
    My former boss was one of the people that helped usher 3D Animation Technology into Xebec's work pipeline. Im a bit sad at where the franchise is now. Both the 90's toyline and the Chaotic Century Anime were pretty close to my heart.

    I *think* Wild and Wild Zero actually take place on Earth instead of Zi, that some Zoids and their tech was sent back to Earth, but I have only seen a tiny bit of the series.
    I didn't like Wild for leaning too far into the shonen side of things. It also struck me as jarring that when Wild started, *none* of the Zoids were equipped with *any* ranged weapons, and the weapons they were equipped with seemed to be designed for style rather than function, which also irked me.

    • @Viseak
      @Viseak  Год назад +4

      Yeah I recall that in Wild Zero at least there was some mass portal or something bringing a flood of Zoids from Zi to earth but idk man I never got far enough into the series to understand either.
      I reckon it’d be possible to somehow make a loose connection to the original Zoids series with that in mind, but I just don’t know (or really care 😅) enough about Wild to finish it and dig deep enough to make that theory haha

    • @euclid1068
      @euclid1068 Год назад +2

      The reason for ranged weapons being rare is probably because the world in general is lower tech than the OG timeline. The weapons the Zoids have in Wild are just their natural abilities. They're not modified machines like the classic Zoid designs. Speaking strictly about the first Wild series btw.

    It's a shame some fans don't give Wild a fair shot because it is pretty good once it gets going. And for such a "kid's anime" it deals with some pretty heavy themes like the death of a main character and Arashi having to make some difficult decisions that affect everyone else around him. The reasons for not watching Wild seem kind of petty. The character designs and the Zoids being ridden instead of piloted shouldn't be that much of a determent. It's really not any less mature than the shows that came before it.
    I'm rewatching CC again for the first time in 20 years and there's a lot of comedy and humor moments in it. Van won't stop thinking about food, walking in on a naked Fiona, arguing with Zeke, and Moonbay's singing. I'm only on episode 12 but it's only just now started to get somewhat serious with the introduction of Raven. Funny enough that's about the same time Wild starts to get serious too...Before that it was just Van and friends wandering the wasteland looking for Zoid Eve.
    But I digress. I hope older fans are more open minded going forward and realize Zoids anime were always made with kids and young teens in mind and not for adults. Otherwise they're always going to be disappointed with any new upcoming Zoids anime. Thank you for making this timeline video. It was fun to revisit the old anime again and see how loosely they're all connected.

    • @Viseak
      @Viseak  Год назад +3

      First off thanks for watching and the kind words mate, much appreciated.
      And for sure, Zoids always has been and always will be a kids show primarily made to market and sell toys.
      Chaotic Century had that more light hearted adventure aspect to it at the beginning almost akin to ZZ Gundam and I mean just look at New Century, it’s strictly fights every episode featuring flashy new toys to market and sell.
      So really, and I’m not afraid to admit this, my love for Zoids is purely nostalgia talking.
      If I didn’t have nostalgia for Zoids I probably wouldn’t even like it all that much. That’s not to say it’s a bad anime, and the Wild series probably aren’t either, but I just don’t have those nostalgia goggles for the new series. So I’ll more than likely over-exaggerate the character development and storytelling and nuance of the older series I’m simply nostalgic for, and underplay any redeeming qualities of a show that clearly wasn’t made for me.
      Kinda in the same vein of how personally, I really just, can’t get into Gundam Wing, but everyone that grew up with it seems to love it. Or how you see different ‘generations’ of Halo fans, depending on which entry had the biggest impact on your childhood.
      Lot of people are in the same boat for a lot of series out there, whether they like to admit it or not, nostalgias just funny like that.

    • @euclid1068
      @euclid1068 Год назад +1

      @@Viseak Thank you for responding and understanding where I'm coming from. Every fanbase has those type of fans that strongly enjoy the shows/games they grew up with and have a very difficult time accepting anything new because they don't have that nostalgia for it. I've seen it in the Gundam, Macross, and Transformers communities. I do think that if some of those older Zoid fans didn't grow up with CC or NCZ and tried to watch them for the first time as adults they probably wouldn't think they were that good. They're fun shows but even within the mecha community Zoids is rarely ever mentioned. Probably because the actual stories themselves aren't nearly as nuanced as some of Gundam and Macross' best shows.
      That being said I still love them and nostalgia does play a part in it as well but I can also watch them un-objectively and realize they're not the amazing shows I remember them being. In any case despite Wild's lackluster reception and performance in the west I'm glad it was a big hit in Japan because that tells Tomy that Zoids is still a franchise worth making new content for and it shows with the Wild sequels and new model line like the 40th anniversary kits. I don't want to see Zoids go into hibernation for another 13 years again. I still love this series and want to see it grow. Please continue making new Zoid videos so we can help it grow too.

I always found a connection with I guess liking mechanical/mecha things too because I enjoy working on cars too and always loved Zoids, Gundam, Initial D, and the only newer mecha anime I like is 86 Eighty Six (seriously check it out if you haven't yet. Such a good anime!). Going to check out your other content and hopefully also find somewhere that I can rewatch CC & GF. They were my favorites with NC following up. I remember when Zoids Fuzors came out and it was so awful. I also tried Genesis but couldn't keep my interest and gave up after a couple of episodes. The OG's will always be OG.

    Great video especially since Zoids is a series I watched growing up. Oddly I was introduced to the series with New Century and my dumb kid brain thought it was the first in the series maybe it was because Cartoon Network played New century episode’s first and followed them with Chaotic century

    Zoids Genesis, both the anime and the game, was my introduction to the Zoids franchise so those two are very close to my heart. To this day, I still remember finishing the GBA game that doesn't have any English translation without knowing any Japanese at all when I was a kid. As for my second favorite, it's gotta be New Century since Bit was the 2nd protagonist that was introduced to me in the Zoids Genesis game and I really liked Liger Zero, especially Zero Panzer CAU in the game.
    It honestly would have been interesting if they animated that GBA game instead of Fuzors, given how it connected both Chaotic Century and New Century + another timeline from another Zoids game which if I remember correctly was the main focus of an NDS game. It would have been a more interesting watch instead of whatever Fuzors and Wilds is.

    Thank you for confirming the chaotic century manga is unfinished! I remember reading it as a kid and wondering why it seemed to just stop after Van got his super powerful Liger Zero variant (that I always wished had a model kit!) Also I never made the connection that my love of Zoids and building the model kits subconsciously influenced my love of cars until you mentioned it! 😅

    In regards to the Zoids Wild series, it shouldn't be connected to the older titles *at all.* What ended up happening is that Zoids: Genesis was a massive failure both in television ratings and toy sales. It failed so badly that the Zoids franchise fell into hibernation for over a decade years until TOMY brought it back with Zoids Wild in an attempt to revive the series.

    Chaotic century has always been my favourite. The character development was so good. The zoid designs is simple but had more realism in them as compared to the other zoid series

    • @Liethen
      @Liethen 4 месяца назад

      agreed, a lot of franchises add too much to later designs, like comparing 1st gen pokemon vs the new ones. Chaotic century is also the best because it actually takes place in a war where the fights have real consequences, I've never liked tournament arcs in anime, so the downside of new century is that it is basically a giant tournament arc

    Actually, if you look at the battle story from the boxes of the toy lines and compare to all of the other material I believe that’s the inspiration for all of the other stories. It can even be used as a roadmap for connecting the various anime together.

    I always assumed GF took place 5 years later. Explains Van's growth spurt and military training. (I doubt 2 years is enough time to become an elite soldier pulling shit we see him do.)
    Now, I will say, I love how most of your video lines up with what I said on a Zoids role-play forum I am/was an admin on (player to mod/Team Leader to admin team). It was set a few decades after New Century and eventually became an Alternate Timeline (largely due to another of the admin's attempt at a story event that... went sideways due to drama).
    After Era was a fun time though... shame real life pulled all of us away. I miss Team Fury.
    One thing you skipped is that in the manga of CC/GF how the Blade Liger evolved once more into a Liger Zero and Zeke bound to it, same with the Genobreaker into Berserk Fury (with Shadow bound). We see this in NC with the "Ultimate X" Zoid cores.

  • @danieltilson4053
    @danieltilson4053 4 месяца назад

    Another link between Chaotic Century/Guardian Force and New Century Zero is that when you see the Liger Zero's Zoid Core, you can clearly see an Organoid fused with it, an organoid that looks just a bit familiar if you saw CC/GF first. (I didn't, so it didn't click until way later.)

  • @Jenova180
    @Jenova180 5 месяцев назад

    I want to make a comment about Fuzors. Anyone remember the episode, I think it was either 5 or 6, where the mechanic that RD picked up was able to look over the Liger Zero. He mentioned the Change Armor System and on the terminal screen, you saw the Jager, Schneider and Panzer units. Before I knew Fuzors followed the Battle Story, I thought it was canonical to New Century Zero just from that.

Who wouldn't want to be able to hop in a Geno Breaker and then switch to one of the many forms of Liger Zero!

      The 80s timeline started it all; there were a couple of comic book stories by Marvel and Marvel UK with different lore depending on which country you live in. Kinda weird for Japanese toys today, but back then was a bit normal, like Transformers was similar with western comics being the main storyline

    I loved Chaotic Century and Guardian Force.
    It's the only Zoids series I got into, and can watch over and over again.
    The anime style, the characters, the story/plot and the Zoids themselves were all perfect.
    I was always intrigued by the backstory of ZoidEve and the Ancient Zoidians.
    I'd have loved a prequel series focussed on Fiona and Zeke, how and why they ended up in those pods with all the old, ruined Zoids around them, and how they originally managed to defeat the DeathSaurer.

  • @Itsjustlikemagic
    @Itsjustlikemagic 4 месяца назад +1

    Zoids Genesis was terrific all around except for the lack of cool Zoid designs for the villains.
    Like seriously the villains re-used the same 2 Zoids throughout like 80% of the series until they introduced Bio Volcano and Bio Tyranno towards the end of the series. I get that based on the timeline, there were only a few zoids left in the world of genesis but the heroes still had their fair share of cool new zoid designs.

    Yeah, I get what you mean. I think the words you were looking for when describing your suspension of disbelief was “real robot”. I know Zoids isn’t exactly like that with the whole “living machines” thing, but there was a lot of “real robot” elements incorporated into the setting, especially in CC and GF.
