  • Explaining the entire Zoids Timeline from Chaotic Century / Guardian Force to New Century, Fuzors, Genesis & a little talk about Zoids Wild / Wild Zero.
    This is a remake of my first proper video on this channel, uploaded 4 years ago today, covering the complete Zoids timeline and outlining how each series, albeit un-canonically, links together.

      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.

    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  Рік тому +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 Рік тому +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.

  • @euclid1068
    @euclid1068 Рік тому +9

    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  Рік тому +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 Рік тому +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.

    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.

    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.

      agreed, a lot of franchises add too much to later designs, like comparing 1st gen pokemon vs the new ones.

    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.

    The biggest zoid we ever got was the Deathsaurer, we wanted the Ultrasaurus but at the time it was just so darn expensive even by pre-inflation standards.

    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.

    Great video! Zoids wild zero is a hard one to talk about for a lot of reasons, though the biggest one being that the english dub is amazingly somehow lost media. Like the only dubbed episodes I could find went to episode 22 and the other 28 episodes are nowhere to be found. And the fan sub also stopped after 10 episodes or so, which means the show couldn't really hold their attention either, lol.

    I came to this video after finishing wild zero which was great. I gave up on Wild a few episodes in but Wild Zero was basically a spiritual successor to Chaotic Century and definitely one of my new favorites.
    Although it's worth mentioning Wild Zero had time travel/time loopey shenanigans that can make it both a Prequel and Sequel to Chaotic Century/New Century/Fuzors/Genesis.

  • @garricscott5395

    Great job, you've gained a fan.
    Was re watching all the zoids series for fun and saw your video after.
    I'm not a fan of "fuzors" but I think they tried to show it was linked to "new century" in the episode they "Made" liger zero a fuzor by installing a program into it they even show pictures of Jager and Schneider. In the episode and said it's an armor change feature installed in liger before and we know who messed with liger "because if would look cool".

    • @Viseak
      @Viseak  Рік тому

      Ha thanks man!
      There was that little callback in Fuzors referencing the CAS system too.
      It’s a shame it was the weakest entry in the series, it did have a little potential there but man, it was executed so poorly

    The story for Chaotic Century was so good, but I'm biased toward New Century Zero since it was my introduction to the series & just so freaking cool! The customization of the Liger Zero is awesome!

  • @BeauxPhades
    @BeauxPhades 4 місяці тому

    The only reason I remember Fuzors was because my brother had a Liger Zero model, and I was able to get a Fire Phoenix. We could never find any of the New Century armors so being able to have more than a vanilla Liger Zero was super cool for us

  • @hereticsaint100

  • @danieltilson4053
    @danieltilson4053 4 місяці тому

    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.)

    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! 😅

    I found it funny how you described how they practically nerfed the zoids from the nuclear weapons they were in the Chaotic Century and New Century to flashbangs in Fuzors 😆 but screwed around and somehow caused a nuclear armageddon resetting civilization into Genesis

    From what I see in Zoids wild/zero it seems to be a prequel to Zoids chaotic century. I know it seems quite far from it but some proof is there.
    Zoids are "wild" in some Zoid games or written material it shows people using Zoids like they originally did at the begining of time. They capture/use Zoids to help them in every day task like hunting and gathering. Zoids wild has alot of connecting dots to zoidians.
    Zoidians seems to be a stretch but what if it was changed to be a faction or clan instead of a race.
    Besides that wild Zoids seem to be getting more domesticated as the series goes on. Eventually leading to how they look like in chaotic century. The advance technology in Zoids wild/zero like mini gravity bullets and how the Zoids are size wise shows me they won't take long to get to the current version/look of chaotic century, most of the knowledge of it will be lost in time untill it is reinvented or discover in chaotic century by doctor D.
    A clan/faction will soon form with political and power which would lead the the creation of Zoid eve. The controller of all Zoids which every Zoid can be traced back to, and the fall of the zoidians the "death saurer"
    I kinda hope this is the path that is taken as it would really connect so much and show some connection to it old Zoid animes instead of revamping the whole series. Who knows

    I will never forget getting Zoids Battle Legends on the Game Cube after being in love with Zoids and playing it non stop. Loved New Century, really enjoyed Chaotic Century, but Battle Legends, that game was the tits, easily my most played games of those years. 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!

  • @Zero0806
    @Zero0806 4 місяці тому

    I’m just seeing this video so I hope you see this comment. My outlook on Zoids Wild is that Zoids reverted to the original forms. I’m an old Zoids fan, like from the 80s. The Zoids Bible showed them originally as smaller mechanical animals that were tamed to an extent and used for warfare eventually.

    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.
