Ever wondered why Zoids still holds a special place in the hearts of so many mecha enthusiasts? Join me, Jet Black Xtreme (JB), as I share my journey through the iconic Zoids franchise in this episode of the Zone Podcast. From the intense storyline of Chaotic Century, set amidst the fragile ceasefire between the Gylos Empire and the Helic Republic, to the unforgettable characters like Van, Zeke, and Fiona, this episode is a heartfelt homage to a series that captured my young imagination. I'll share my favorite moments and characters, and why those animal and dinosaur-like mechs left an indelible mark on me as a fan.

But that's not all! I'll also delve into the evolution of the Zoids series, including my mixed feelings about the enclosed arena battles in Zoids New Century, the unique setting and challenges in Zoids Genesis, and the fresh twist brought by Zoids Wild with its AI-enhanced Zoids. You'll hear about the dynamics between RD, Sweet, and Amy, and the enduring appeal of Zoids toys and video games. Plus, get a sneak peek at future plans for an extended review. This episode is a blend of nostalgia and critique, perfect for both long-time fans and newcomers alike. Don't miss out on this trip down memory lane!
