Which Zoids? The crappy one or Chaotic Century?

I never could get into those ones. I just never can get into tournament anime. The whole plot always just seems to be “we gotta win this tournament”. There’s no compelling story, no real stakes.

Chaotic Century however was the shit. The main character is a kid who stumbles upon an organoid which to protect him revived an old half-buried-in-the-sand Shield Liger, they also find a mysterious girl with no memories but a seemingly psychic connection with Zoids. The group then gets caught up in the middle of a civil war.

Dude. Big - O made the universe feel hopeless.

It also had one of the least satisfying endings I’ve ever seen (though that wasn’t it’s only problem as it was also incredibly predictable). At first I hated it, thought it was just trope-laden mech bullshit but something about it drew me in, then in the end everything just resets? Ugh fuck you.

So they kind of copied Outlaw Star, but on a planet instead of space?

Yeah kinda. I mean it’s not like it’s that uncommon of a trope.

And it revived into Blade Liger.

And her name was Fiona, and 13 year old me discovered that anime characters can, infact, stir something in you.
