Hey hope you all enjoyed the video, was quite a long one which is why I haven’t posted in a little while, but I’m happy with how it turned out so definitely worth it. I’ve got a lot of other videos planned and on my mind but if there’s anything you want to see feel free to let me know! Have a good day and thanks for watching
watching your Tyrannosaurus/Saurer video I remembered there is Bio Liger added to the Zoids Saga DS game. I think it was fan who designed it in Japan entered it to a competetion, and the winners entry made it onto the game.
Henry Toledo hey man! The mics just fine the issue is actually my fault there, it was my first time using the new microphone and I didn’t adjust the gain correctly so the voiceover audio ended up being a bit quiet
Might also be good to note that the top speeds listed definitely do not include boosted speed. The Jager and Lightning Saix's listed top speed is nowhere near mach 1 as we have clearly seen them reach. After some comparisons to other speed Zoids, myself and a friend realized that the listed top speeds are more proportional to their top speed without boosters.
KorgCrimson not gonna lie, I thought something felt kind of off but I didn’t even think about the boosters, that would explain a lot of the odd speeds haha
Yeah, man. Shield Liger has a crew of 1. It only requires one person to operate a Shield Liger. Everyone else is a passenger. There aren't too many zoids that require more than one person to operate. If you don't count any Fuzors, I'm pretty sure it's a single digit number.
Thanks man, I’ll have to show it off soon. I was thinking possibly after I get back from Japan cause I’ll have more to show but maybe I’ll whip something up sooner 🤔
I played Zoids infinity at the arcade in Japan back in 2006. The Jaeger when piloted by a good player was untouchable. Producing unblockable wind waves (blades) it was the coolest at the time. Definitely buying an hmm of it.
I was hype about Zoids as a kid! I've always had a passing interest since then- so thanks for putting this video together! I'll definitely have to pick up some of those Liger Zero kits in the future.
That Tall Brendan no worries at all man! I’d definitely recommend grabbing the Liger Zero HMM’s if you get the opportunity, they’re fun to build and look great on display
@@Viseak I was gifted a few Gundam MG models a few years back- of which I built a couple (and loved them). But being at home I wasn't allowed to have an airbrush setup. Times have changed though- and I have always wanted to do those kits proper justice. ... 🤔 You may have already seen this post- imgur.com/t/model/KmMIh But goals have been set. It'll take a while to build the skill set I'm sure, but if/when I pull it off, you'll hear about it.
The Liger Zero Jager is my Favorite of all the Ligers but the Blade Liger specifically is more of the Nostalgia Bomb for me. By the way Jager means Hunter :) Schneider means Cutter and Panzer means Tank :) and Yes please do the tyranosaurus type zoids please.....
Jan Daniel Ching I agree the blade liger is way more nostalgic but something about the Liger Zero always has stood out to me. Thanks for the info on their meanings too! I’m definitely looking at making a video on the tyrannosaurus type Zoids too but it may take me a little while haha
Wow. They seriously need to make some of the manga into a legitimate Anime with a solid story, characters, and everything. I've been holding onto hope since the Toonami days when I first saw Chaotic and New Century. Everything that followed even Wild Zero has never really felt right. But the all the designs and versions of the Liger gets me excited and keeps me hoping for another Zoid "smash hit" in the future. Someone please do this justice.
Honestly as cool as it would be, I don’t think the chaotic century manga needs to be turned into an anime, the CC anime was kind of like an alternate timeline to the manga and there’s enough crossover to warrant not remaking it. The battle story on the other hand would be amazing as an anime, but a lot would need to be cut out to make sure it isn’t extremely long, it’d need to be pretty direct and straightforward but there’s so much content in there to explore, or alternatively the manga or web comic I think that has the König Wolf as the main protagonists Zoid, I can’t think of the name of it but that would also make a really cool Zoids spinoff anime.
Okay, I don't know what is with all of the copyright claims. UA-cam alone is littered with clips and music from many series that are far more prolific. Takara Tomy even airs the Wild Senki episodes here! Are they currently airing all of the series on Netflix? Should that even count? Can't they just appreciate the free advertising? At least Hanyoutai has the Chaotic Century manga back on his site. Anyways, I'm under the impression that either most Zoids have a jump seat in case of the need to carry a passenger (perhaps a general or other high-ranking official, seeing as how the tandem arrangement is used for Pteras, another Zoid that would be good as a quick field transport), or it is used as a gunner's seat. Given the Shield Liger's extensive arsenal, this makes sense. But the pilot can fire the weapons if he or she wishes. The Shield Liger Mk-II was created in response to the Zenebas military's stronger Zoids during the first Continental War, sacrificing some speed for greater firepower, while the Shield Liger DSC-J was created in response the the Geno Saurer. The latter is improved from the former in that it is faster and has greater defenses, but this makes it far harder to control, and only very experienced pilots can do so. The Desert Liger is of course suited to arid environments, but also has better maneuverability and durability. In my head-canon, Doc forgot to install the cooling equipment in the Panzer Unit, while the Murasame Liger uses a technology not unlike replicator technology from Star Trek in lieu of a CAS system. It seems implied that either Murasame Ligers were very new towards the end of the Age of Technology, or even that it was a prototype, or at least the one that could Evolt. Ligers that you forgot to cover: King Liger/King Baron, Quad Liger, Snipe Liger, and Slash Liger. And I do believe that Leo Blaze and Leo Striker count as well.
Man the main thing that gets me about the whole copyright scenario especially with Zoids, is that there literally isn’t even a single way to legally watch Zoids CC, NC, Fuzors or Genesis anymore. Regardless it’s not like I’m uploading full episodes to UA-cam but still some clips I’ve used in my videos don’t seem to exists anywhere else on the internet, without fan support the old series would just become dead media and that would seriously be depressing, and all the copyright issues don’t help that. However, seeing how in the new Zoids Wild Switch game they’re bringing back some of the OG Zoids like the Blade Liger and Geno Breaker, it gives me hope maybe they’ll go back to the OG series in some capacity. The jump seat theory makes a lot of sense when I think about it, and I didn’t actually realise there were performance based differences between the Mk-II and DCS-J, I genuinely thought it was just a colour change hahaha, I really need to read more into the battle story for some better lore. I could imagine Doc messing up one of the CAS units, especially something as ambitious as the Panzer so that wouldn’t shock me either, in terms of the Murasame liger my guess is that it’s some sort of prototype from the age of technology. Evolt seemed to be something known by the sky people, but not something they had much information on, which leads me to believe it was extremely new technology. Thanks for mentioning all the ones I missed too, I tend to always miss a couple in these haha
@@Viseak This doesn't seem much different from what CBS has been doing with Star Trek. They've been VERY stingy at times with their copyright. I honestly don't get it, unless you're somehow profiting off the use of footage or music. Quite a shame too, since I think that using the right footage and music could help bring future entries to life. For example, showing off Murasame Liger's abilities while playing its theme in the background. And it's not like you can't find episodes online, and it is indeed the only way to seem them currently. There are even entire clips on UA-cam. There is a fine point between protecting one's property and being outright selfish. I get the feeling that ShoPro wouldn't be happy with any fan series either. I do think that missing so much material is a clear indication that you need to research things better, or even just cut a video down to one unit type, but then you're the one whose actually posting the videos. But I think that for the major Zoids, such as the Shield Liger, all of the different variants (Original, Box Variants, Mk-II, Various other releases, Van's, NJR, DSC, DSC-J, Assault Gatling, Spark Liger, Aero Liger, Commander, etc.) along with role/specification/weapons loadout/history would provide plenty of material for a single video, with Zoids that haven't appeared much in Media and without many, if any variants (King Liger/Baron) providing material for shorter videos. But then, that's how I'd do it. Now that I think of it more, it makes sense that large scale Zoids would have a pilot/gunner arrangement. There are even real life precedents in the form of aircraft, which have a pilot and a gunner, while tanks have more than one crew if I'm not mistaken. No surprise, because good luck being able to avoid getting hit AND actually targeting enemies, especially if you're an inexperienced pilot. Which is exactly what happens between Van and Raven when the latter trashes his Shield Liger, and nearly kills Zeke.
I think what it meant by crew of one for the shield liger is you only need one person to fully operate it. Kinda like how a car has four seats but only needs one driver to use to full effect
My most favorite Lion Type Zoid is the Saberlion. The Saberlion is a Lion Type Zoid with aqua-blue armor and is a very fast Zoid designed for hit-and-run tactics, it's stats are it has a max crew of 1 pilot, it has light armor, a weight of 14.5 tons, a depth of 8.5 meters, a height of 6.0 meters, and a max speed of 225 kilometers an hour/185 miles per hour. It's weapons are claws, 3 blades one big blade, and 2 smaller ones on the side, and fangs all of which are high-frequency meaning they vibrate at high-frequencies which allows the Saberlion to practically cut through anything, it's support equipment is 2 Ear Radars, 2 Dual-Sensor Eyes, a Rear Security Sensor, and 2 Smoke Dispensers all of which help the Saberlion's pilot find opponents in crowded areas, and quickly get away when needed. However the Saberlion's sole weakness is it has no long-range offensive capabilities while not usually a problem, it can be a problem if the Saberlion's pilot is caught unaware.
piBoy Gaming haha yeah the trend with these explained videos is that I tend to always forget something. Thanks for watching and subscribing none the less man!
@@Viseak no problem you make good content, and thebking liger is easily forgotten not only that but i myself also forgot Saber Lion so im equally guilty lmao
piBoy Gaming thanks man really appreciate the kind words. I feel like a lot of Zoids get forgotten if they don’t make an anime appearance but I try to research and include as many as I can.
Joshua Chua hey man! I’ve heard some good things about sams model kits and collectors’ toy box, they’re both based in the Philippines which should be convenient for you, alternatively I’ve found Hobby Link Japan is always a good place to go
Joshua Chua no worries at all! I’ll definitely be doing a video showcasing my collection at some point in the near future, just got a few other videos planned before I get to it so stay tuned!
This is my first vid watching of yours i liked it and usaly sub to a channel after liking 10 vids... i am sure there will be more vids i will watch and like espical if there are more cat zoid zids wich are my fave of all the animals zoids can be.
Bryan Akuarius Uchiha hey! The best kits you want to look for are the Kotobukiya HMM kits, they can be hard to find if you aren’t in Japan but websites like Hobbylink Japan and Japan Yahoo Auctions are some sites you can buy them from. Thanks for watching!
Bryan Akuarius Uchiha no worries at all man! Feel free to subscribe if you haven’t already cause I’ll definitely be making more Zoids videos in the future as well as many others 😃
The amount of times I have watched Zoids Genesis and only just realised now that the student of Seijuuro had a liger zero. Blink and you miss it scene I guess. Reminiscing about ligers was an enjoyable watch.
Was the first thing I noticed haha, it just stood out a lot to me cause there was barely any Zoids reminiscent of the older series’ in Genesis. Thanks for watching too :)
I see this video is from two years ago, so I’m a little late but great content! My question is do you know a good liable source where I could watch Zoids: Chaotic Century and Zoid: New Century?
Thanks mate, the easiest way to watch them currently is by accessing the Zoids Discord through the Zoids Sub Reddit As all the series are available in the discord server, it’s a bit convoluted but it works !
From what I know the only DS Zoids game released in the west was ‘Saga - Legend of Arcadia’ which I’ve never personally played, I’ve played a bunch of the Japanese DS titles though like Battle Colosseum. In terms of a favourite Zoid it’s gotta be the base Liger Zero
Crew of 1 for Shield Liger is because that is STANDARD, Van's Liger was unusual in having a cockpit designed for two. It is also the ONLY Liger Zoid shown to have two seats.
@@Viseak absolutely. And there are a couple examples of this through the show, like the Redler they tried to use to transport Raven when the Geno Breaker was finishing it's evolution was a two seater instead of a single seater.
Geno Breaker yeah that’s true as well, I was going to say the same about the storm sworder when Rosso Picked up Viola but the wiki does say 1-2 so fair enough it’s got me there haha
I love zoids, watched all but fuzors religiously. Recently introduced my 7 and 11 year old boys to new century zero after cleaning out a storage unti and finding a model sized liger zero action figure. Boys thought it was cool and i said hey, watch this
Randall Koskubar that’s awesome man, proves you don’t need to make shows extra ‘kiddy’ like they do nowadays to still cater to that demographic. Props to you for keeping the enjoyment alive.
@@Viseak to be honest, while i never forgot about the series, i had not thought to have them watch it had they not found the liger toy and instantly fell in love with it
Can you educate us on how to get into zoids plastic models? Are there things we should know before buying one? I mean, are there any various scaling and grades just like in gundam (where non-grade, HG, RG, MG etc etc. exist )?
Alvaro Bonifacio that wouldn’t be a bad video but there isn’t too much to know compared to Gunpla. Essentially the Tomy/Hasbro kits were the originals and the new kits for wild/wild zero, they’re motorised and are more categorised as kids toys. Then you have Kotobukiya’s HMM line which are all 1/72 scale and are the more complex kits akin to MG’s or PG’s in terms of complexity. The only thing you have to look out for are the BT kits which look like Kotobukiya kits but they’re bootleg copies, they’re a lot cheaper but I would strongly recommend avoiding them.
Michael Araiza I’ll definitely make a video on them soon enough just got a few more kits in my backlog I want to finish first, who knows maybe if I hit 1000 subs before I finish my backlog I’ll just make it early 👀
Beyonder_ ROSS I’ve made a whole video just like this one on the T-Rex type Zoids! Feel free to check it out if you haven’t already. But Ill definitely want to talk about them more at some point in the future as there’s plenty of interesting things to discuss
the MK1 and MK2 Geno Saurer( i want a model SOOOO BAD) and later the berserk fury are my favorite zoids the shadow fox being a close 2nd lol also I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY like Raven as a antag like one of my favorites of all time
FLEX THAT COLLECTION BRO! I subscribed only for that! Lol I’m thinking of finally spending the $100+ on an hmm I’ve wanted one since I was like 16 I’m 26 now.. have a family.. it’s now or never lol Which one do you recommend? Base white? Orange? Blue? Green? Liger zero.
ua-cam.com/video/uf8tRJEW2JE/v-deo.html 👀 If you’re only gonna get one, I’d say go for the base white Liger Zero. It’s a personal favourite and looks the cleanest, so if you don’t have a display case full of em it looks the most aesthetically pleasing on its own sitting on a desk for example.
Always thought it was funny that something with legs can be boosted by boosters when it’s the speed of the legs and width of each step that determines its speeds
Please post about the model kits, I have a bunch of old Tony ones I would like to find happier homes for and have no clue where's best to sell them lol
I’ll definitely make one about the kits in the future, but for selling it is a bit easier than buying as I’ve found the best place to sell older kits is generally eBay.
they more or less base the seating/occupancy of a zoid off the new century zero standard and beyond.... basically seats just the pilot, so the skewed idea that chaotic century's version of a shield liger is a touch out dated.... or optional being some zoids seat two while others ether show only just the single pilot more often than not. hell Van Flyheight piloted his ligers, mostly on his own, same with Irvine and his command wolf and lightning saix, unless the situation called otherwise. then it's like the pilot seat pushed forward to show a copilot seat behind it.... i think this is just an optional thing, like old roadsters having the options of rear passengers in the trunks
Liger Panzer was my most favorite, of all the ligers. It also one of the hardest to build, too many weapons like missiles and gun On our country, scheider was the hardest to find, and might be the most expensive of all the ligers
What about the Leo Blaze? :c Also, and this is me using Zoids Saga II (Zoids Legacy) as a source, but they treat Liger Zero as a separate group of Zoids. Even though the manga blends Liger-type and Liger0-Type, that game doesn't do that. Just a nitpick here, I never really understood why that was decision made.
Icespoon I didn’t think about the Leo Blaze or the Leo Striker for that matter, I guess I didn’t really consider them as ligers? But at the same time I’m unsure what other category they’d fit in besides Blox Zoids, they were some of the better designs from Fuzors though. It’s definitely a bit weird that Zoids legacy split them up, it’s been a long time since I’ve played that game and I honestly didn’t even remember that, maybe it’s because Liger Zero had so many different forms it just had its own category? I’m really not sure on that if I’m honest.
I want a full video review of Zoids Generations man, please. It’s quite an interesting manga for me because I didn’t like New Century that much cause Blade Liger is beaten by Zero (Blade Liger is my absolute favorite and I want him to evolve even further to "Sword Liger" hehe. Caesar The King sucks in my opinion). Berserk Führer is extremely awesome too; but he loses to Bit too anyways ☹️. Great vid bro. Keep all your video-excellence at making videos coming!
You know what, I actually still haven’t read Zoids Generations. I know so much about it from researching but never experienced the story in full. Where would be the best place to read it? After I’ve finished reading I’ll more than likely end up making a video on it
@@Viseak I’d do a research in Google by typing in "Read Zoids Generations manga full" or something like that and try out every result. Also, I would research in the Zoids official page obviously but it’s an old product so it’s not the best place to search for it too and I don’t speak Japanese 😕. Finally, I’d look for reviews of the story in sites like The Iron Bible or the other multiple wikis in all the languages that there are of the other hardcore Zoids lovers like you and me. Bonus: here in UA-cam is a great place to try and do research; proved by myself. 😎 I’m sure the manga we are talking about is as great as New Century. There bud, that would be my method of research. 🧐 Thanks for answering my comment and have a nice day fellow Zoids lover! PD: And thanks for the like too! PD2: Reddit is also a great place for doing research too. 😉
jmtkf hey man, the BT models actually are the cheap copies of the official Kotobukiya kits, so finding anything cheaper than them will be near impossible. The hobby is a bit expensive but you can always start small with something like a command wolf which I think is getting a reprint by Kotobukiya and should be under $100.
Those two in particular are definitely harder to find and watch, however, the one place you could probably find them will be on pirate sites like Gogoanime for example.
I'm curious about the Zoid that's canonically piloted by the main protagonist of Zoids Saga 2/Zoids Legacy the Saberlion. Yes this is one of my most favorite Zoids but I noticed it's body shape is possibly similar to that of the Liger Zero, and Wild Liger. Is it just me or is it possible that the Saberlion could be from a similar type of Zoid build as the Liger Zero? And yes I had the traditional Aqua-Blue colored version of the Saberlion model.
Numa Arban yes the supernova ones! They definitely look amazing and I’ve been looking at picking one up as the Genesis ligers definitely have some awesome designs.
My only issue with zoids is the inconsistency with the artwork for the how big the unit is Liger zero 8 point something meters tall but the human barely comes up to the top of its claws makes it feel like it's even bigger than that at least with Gundam most of them being anywhere from 15 to 20 m tall humans are at least approximate in their comparison because I'm just under 2 m tall so me being 6 ft 5 I would be taller then the top of the Claws on liger zero feet so either the humans on planet z are just stupid short or the animators are very wrong with their sizing Because 17 m is roughly 56 ft tall which means 8 m roughly 26 ft tall but a 26 ft tall giant animal robot would not properly have room for a cockpit inside the head and the only way it would make logical sense for how big the humans are compared to the zoids is if they were just about half a metre tall
We might get to see that soon, not in the anime, but in the new Zoids Wild game releasing in Japan, the game is including older Zoids like the Blade liger and Geno breaker which is amazing to see
Hey hope you all enjoyed the video, was quite a long one which is why I haven’t posted in a little while, but I’m happy with how it turned out so definitely worth it. I’ve got a lot of other videos planned and on my mind but if there’s anything you want to see feel free to let me know!
Have a good day and thanks for watching
watching your Tyrannosaurus/Saurer video I remembered there is Bio Liger added to the Zoids Saga DS game. I think it was fan who designed it in Japan entered it to a competetion, and the winners entry made it onto the game.
dude you need a better mic I have to listen to you at least twice to get everything your saying
Henry Toledo hey man! The mics just fine the issue is actually my fault there, it was my first time using the new microphone and I didn’t adjust the gain correctly so the voiceover audio ended up being a bit quiet
Might also be good to note that the top speeds listed definitely do not include boosted speed. The Jager and Lightning Saix's listed top speed is nowhere near mach 1 as we have clearly seen them reach. After some comparisons to other speed Zoids, myself and a friend realized that the listed top speeds are more proportional to their top speed without boosters.

What a pleasant surprise, another person on UA-cam who does zoids content.
Yeah, man. Shield Liger has a crew of 1. It only requires one person to operate a Shield Liger. Everyone else is a passenger. There aren't too many zoids that require more than one person to operate. If you don't count any Fuzors, I'm pretty sure it's a single digit number.
Got myself a shield liger after watching this video. Thanks for reminding me of my childhood
G- Talier that’s awesome to hear man hope you enjoy it!

Jordan Stewart definitely will man, feel free to drop a sub if you haven’t already to keep posted!

The shield liger has a crew of 1, because crew is the number of people needed to operate it. The other people are passengers.
cctmsp13 yeah that does make a lot more sense tbh
liger zero is aesthetically perfect
BarelySuper couldn’t agree more, probably the cleanest and most badass looking zoid out there.
Soo many outfits lol
I know the Liger is the ultimate favorite Zoid but mine has always been the Shadowfox!!
Like earned for 23:50. Imagine it in Black with purple undertones. My late childhood. Well done mate!

But I think that for the major Zoids, such as the Shield Liger, all of the different variants (Original, Box Variants, Mk-II, Various other releases, Van's, NJR, DSC, DSC-J, Assault Gatling, Spark Liger, Aero Liger, Commander, etc.) along with role/specification/weapons loadout/history would provide plenty of material for a single video, with Zoids that haven't appeared much in Media and without many, if any variants (King Liger/Baron) providing material for shorter videos. But then, that's how I'd do it.
Now that I think of it more, it makes sense that large scale Zoids would have a pilot/gunner arrangement. There are even real life precedents in the form of aircraft, which have a pilot and a gunner, while tanks have more than one crew if I'm not mistaken. No surprise, because good luck being able to avoid getting hit AND actually targeting enemies, especially if you're an inexperienced pilot. Which is exactly what happens between Van and Raven when the latter trashes his Shield Liger, and nearly kills Zeke.
I think what it meant by crew of one for the shield liger is you only need one person to fully operate it. Kinda like how a car has four seats but only needs one driver to use to full effect
Make all the wolf type and dog type zoids pls.
Jann Romeo Badillo definitely something I’ll consider for a future video!
I gotchu bro: ua-cam.com/video/4UyfpxLvppQ/v-deo.html
It's been 3 years later and people are still watching I have been a fan of zoids from the beginning
Liger zero and blade Liger are my favorite lion type of zoids.
oz88 og yeah they’re both pretty great, the Zero is definitely my number 1 though.
My most favorite Lion Type Zoid is the Saberlion.
The Saberlion is a Lion Type Zoid with aqua-blue armor and is a very fast Zoid designed for hit-and-run tactics, it's stats are it has a max crew of 1 pilot, it has light armor, a weight of 14.5 tons, a depth of 8.5 meters, a height of 6.0 meters, and a max speed of 225 kilometers an hour/185 miles per hour. It's weapons are claws, 3 blades one big blade, and 2 smaller ones on the side, and fangs all of which are high-frequency meaning they vibrate at high-frequencies which allows the Saberlion to practically cut through anything, it's support equipment is 2 Ear Radars, 2 Dual-Sensor Eyes, a Rear Security Sensor, and 2 Smoke Dispensers all of which help the Saberlion's pilot find opponents in crowded areas, and quickly get away when needed. However the Saberlion's sole weakness is it has no long-range offensive capabilities while not usually a problem, it can be a problem if the Saberlion's pilot is caught unaware.
Zoids was one of those things that I only knew from the "cartoon"
But it had such an impact I had to come back to it as an adult 😅
as a zoid maniac i love this videos!
Great video, you did forget the mass produced zoid the King Liger but still liked and subbed
piBoy Gaming haha yeah the trend with these explained videos is that I tend to always forget something.
Thanks for watching and subscribing none the less man!
@@Viseak no problem you make good content, and thebking liger is easily forgotten not only that but i myself also forgot Saber Lion so im equally guilty lmao
piBoy Gaming thanks man really appreciate the kind words. I feel like a lot of Zoids get forgotten if they don’t make an anime appearance but I try to research and include as many as I can.
Great job bro
Def flex the collection
YoLastFilms I’ve actually begun scripting a collection video so hopefully I’ll be able to finish it up soon!
Hey Man, would really appreciate it if you have tips for where I can get hmm kits that deliver to the Philippines!
Joshua Chua hey man! I’ve heard some good things about sams model kits and collectors’ toy box, they’re both based in the Philippines which should be convenient for you, alternatively I’ve found Hobby Link Japan is always a good place to go
@@Viseak Thanks for this! I'll check them out! Wish we could see your collection too!!
Joshua Chua no worries at all! I’ll definitely be doing a video showcasing my collection at some point in the near future, just got a few other videos planned before I get to it so stay tuned!
now this is new
My favourite zoids is
Shadow Fox. Deal with it.
#Delicious FlexSeal breakfast the shadow fox is awesome and the episode of New Century when it was introduced is one of my favourites in the series
Agreed to both
This is my first vid watching of yours i liked it and usaly sub to a channel after liking 10 vids... i am sure there will be more vids i will watch and like espical if there are more cat zoid zids wich are my fave of all the animals zoids can be.
There was also a liger red Hugh or something like that with clear cherry blossom pink armor
thank you for making this video! i personally really like zoids especially the anime and hmm models so this is a cool idea on learning more about them
Dan Dacut that’s alright man more than happy to make it and continue making more in the future. Thanks for the support!
I love zoids chaotic century. That's my fav.
Hi
Which is the best brand to buy this guys and where can I buy them?
Nice video by the way 😁👌🏻
Bryan Akuarius Uchiha hey! The best kits you want to look for are the Kotobukiya HMM kits, they can be hard to find if you aren’t in Japan but websites like Hobbylink Japan and Japan Yahoo Auctions are some sites you can buy them from. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much bro
Keep up the good work 😁
Bryan Akuarius Uchiha no worries at all man! Feel free to subscribe if you haven’t already cause I’ll definitely be making more Zoids videos in the future as well as many others 😃
19:54 damn this thing looks epic!🔥
Nice vid. Forgot about the liger from Zoids Wild.
if you think about it , the liger zero is the strike gundam before strike gundam was cool
The amount of times I have watched Zoids Genesis and only just realised now that the student of Seijuuro had a liger zero. Blink and you miss it scene I guess. Reminiscing about ligers was an enjoyable watch.
Was the first thing I noticed haha, it just stood out a lot to me cause there was barely any Zoids reminiscent of the older series’ in Genesis. Thanks for watching too :)
Maybe it's the Generations Liger Zero.
I see this video is from two years ago, so I’m a little late but great content! My question is do you know a good liable source where I could watch Zoids: Chaotic Century and Zoid: New Century?
Thanks mate, the easiest way to watch them currently is by accessing the Zoids Discord through the Zoids Sub Reddit
As all the series are available in the discord server, it’s a bit convoluted but it works !
i missed zoids im happy that i just got into building them im even happyer now
Supernova has already completed the three ligers from Zoids Genesis!!!
Elen Wescott yeah I’ve seen the box art for the Mugen Liger I’m really keen for it to be released, I’ve already placed my order for the Hayate
Hey brother I've got a question, were there any Zoids games released for the DS in the American market? Also what's your favorite Zoid?
From what I know the only DS Zoids game released in the west was ‘Saga - Legend of Arcadia’ which I’ve never personally played, I’ve played a bunch of the Japanese DS titles though like Battle Colosseum.
In terms of a favourite Zoid it’s gotta be the base Liger Zero
great vid! i wanna know where is a good place to find them
Crew of 1 for Shield Liger is because that is STANDARD, Van's Liger was unusual in having a cockpit designed for two. It is also the ONLY Liger Zoid shown to have two seats.
Geno Breaker haha looking back on this it does make a lot more sense, but I’m sure you can imagine in the moment seeing that really confused me
@@Viseak absolutely. And there are a couple examples of this through the show, like the Redler they tried to use to transport Raven when the Geno Breaker was finishing it's evolution was a two seater instead of a single seater.
Geno Breaker yeah that’s true as well, I was going to say the same about the storm sworder when Rosso Picked up Viola but the wiki does say 1-2 so fair enough it’s got me there haha
Did you know: Murasame Liger Have a Fuzors which is Murasame Knight Custom and it's a Fuzors of Sauro knight from Arcadia Kingdom
I love zoids, watched all but fuzors religiously. Recently introduced my 7 and 11 year old boys to new century zero after cleaning out a storage unti and finding a model sized liger zero action figure. Boys thought it was cool and i said hey, watch this
Randall Koskubar that’s awesome man, proves you don’t need to make shows extra ‘kiddy’ like they do nowadays to still cater to that demographic. Props to you for keeping the enjoyment alive.
@@Viseak to be honest, while i never forgot about the series, i had not thought to have them watch it had they not found the liger toy and instantly fell in love with it
Can you educate us on how to get into zoids plastic models? Are there things we should know before buying one? I mean, are there any various scaling and grades just like in gundam (where non-grade, HG, RG, MG etc etc. exist )?
Alvaro Bonifacio that wouldn’t be a bad video but there isn’t too much to know compared to Gunpla.
Essentially the Tomy/Hasbro kits were the originals and the new kits for wild/wild zero, they’re motorised and are more categorised as kids toys.
Then you have Kotobukiya’s HMM line which are all 1/72 scale and are the more complex kits akin to MG’s or PG’s in terms of complexity.
The only thing you have to look out for are the BT kits which look like Kotobukiya kits but they’re bootleg copies, they’re a lot cheaper but I would strongly recommend avoiding them.
Thanks for the info viseak.
Alvaro Bonifacio no worries at all man!
I'm not promoting bootleg or what, but u can also check the super nova liger line, it's based on the za figure but in 1/72 scale.
I’d love to see your zoids collection and learn more about the kits
Michael Araiza I’ll definitely make a video on them soon enough just got a few more kits in my backlog I want to finish first, who knows maybe if I hit 1000 subs before I finish my backlog I’ll just make it early 👀
Could you do a video going over the different weapons of zoids?
14:46 that's a beautiful colorway
Yes to all questions for future videos
Yes I want to see your collection!
Zoids does have a dedicated Wiki, you could look there
I have since discovered the Zoids Wiki and it’s been a great help!
Eyyy I came here to see all the liger's thanks 😍
Definitely more for the trex type zoids like the Fury and Genoa breaker
Beyonder_ ROSS I’ve made a whole video just like this one on the T-Rex type Zoids!
Feel free to check it out if you haven’t already.
But Ill definitely want to talk about them more at some point in the future as there’s plenty of interesting things to discuss
Viseak thanks man, my bad for not checking but definitely appreciate the content!!
Beyonder_ ROSS that’s all good man haha
Glad to hear you’re enjoying it!
the MK1 and MK2 Geno Saurer( i want a model SOOOO BAD) and later the berserk fury are my favorite zoids the shadow fox being a close 2nd lol also I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY like Raven as a antag like one of my favorites of all time
FLEX THAT COLLECTION BRO! I subscribed only for that! Lol
I’m thinking of finally spending the $100+ on an hmm I’ve wanted one since I was like 16 I’m 26 now.. have a family.. it’s now or never lol
Which one do you recommend? Base white? Orange? Blue? Green? Liger zero.
ua-cam.com/video/uf8tRJEW2JE/v-deo.html 👀
If you’re only gonna get one, I’d say go for the base white Liger Zero. It’s a personal favourite and looks the cleanest, so if you don’t have a display case full of em it looks the most aesthetically pleasing on its own sitting on a desk for example.
Liger Zero so awesome
Thank you bro
Always thought it was funny that something with legs can be boosted by boosters when it’s the speed of the legs and width of each step that determines its speeds
it's just like runners being wind aided
Best Liger is the Zoids 2 Claw. It's GOLD.
Please post about the model kits, I have a bunch of old Tony ones I would like to find happier homes for and have no clue where's best to sell them lol
I’ll definitely make one about the kits in the future, but for selling it is a bit easier than buying as I’ve found the best place to sell older kits is generally eBay.
they more or less base the seating/occupancy of a zoid off the new century zero standard and beyond.... basically seats just the pilot, so the skewed idea that chaotic century's version of a shield liger is a touch out dated.... or optional being some zoids seat two while others ether show only just the single pilot more often than not. hell Van Flyheight piloted his ligers, mostly on his own, same with Irvine and his command wolf and lightning saix, unless the situation called otherwise. then it's like the pilot seat pushed forward to show a copilot seat behind it.... i think this is just an optional thing, like old roadsters having the options of rear passengers in the trunks
Me being free then i stumble over some homework that due tomorrow 3:55
Liger Panzer was my most favorite, of all the ligers. It also one of the hardest to build, too many weapons like missiles and gun
On our country, scheider was the hardest to find, and might be the most expensive of all the ligers
What about the Leo Blaze? :c Also, and this is me using Zoids Saga II (Zoids Legacy) as a source, but they treat Liger Zero as a separate group of Zoids. Even though the manga blends Liger-type and Liger0-Type, that game doesn't do that.
Just a nitpick here, I never really understood why that was decision made.
Icespoon I didn’t think about the Leo Blaze or the Leo Striker for that matter, I guess I didn’t really consider them as ligers? But at the same time I’m unsure what other category they’d fit in besides Blox Zoids, they were some of the better designs from Fuzors though.
It’s definitely a bit weird that Zoids legacy split them up, it’s been a long time since I’ve played that game and I honestly didn’t even remember that, maybe it’s because Liger Zero had so many different forms it just had its own category? I’m really not sure on that if I’m honest.
I want a full video review of Zoids Generations man, please. It’s quite an interesting manga for me because I didn’t like New Century that much cause Blade Liger is beaten by Zero (Blade Liger is my absolute favorite and I want him to evolve even further to "Sword Liger" hehe. Caesar The King sucks in my opinion). Berserk Führer is extremely awesome too; but he loses to Bit too anyways ☹️. Great vid bro. Keep all your video-excellence at making videos coming!
You know what, I actually still haven’t read Zoids Generations. I know so much about it from researching but never experienced the story in full.
Where would be the best place to read it? After I’ve finished reading I’ll more than likely end up making a video on it
@@Viseak I’d do a research in Google by typing in "Read Zoids Generations manga full" or something like that and try out every result. Also, I would research in the Zoids official page obviously but it’s an old product so it’s not the best place to search for it too and I don’t speak Japanese 😕. Finally, I’d look for reviews of the story in sites like The Iron Bible or the other multiple wikis in all the languages that there are of the other hardcore Zoids lovers like you and me. Bonus: here in UA-cam is a great place to try and do research; proved by myself. 😎 I’m sure the manga we are talking about is as great as New Century. There bud, that would be my method of research. 🧐
Thanks for answering my comment and have a nice day fellow Zoids lover!
PD: And thanks for the like too!
PD2: Reddit is also a great place for doing research too. 😉
BTW, HMM Liger Zero X is announced
Yeah I saw it got leaked recently which is pretty awesome, I’m definitely keen for it
Hey man I wanna get into BT models, but every zoids one I can find is expensive. Is there a cheaper zoid model that's good for beginners?
jmtkf hey man, the BT models actually are the cheap copies of the official Kotobukiya kits, so finding anything cheaper than them will be near impossible.
The hobby is a bit expensive but you can always start small with something like a command wolf which I think is getting a reprint by Kotobukiya and should be under $100.
I had a zoid when I was younger. The stego one
I would like to know where can watch fuzors and Genesis. Love zoids so much
Those two in particular are definitely harder to find and watch, however, the one place you could probably find them will be on pirate sites like Gogoanime for example.
Viseak thanks for letting me knowhave good day
What about the midnight shield liger zero. That was the toy I had. Any info on that guy?
The liger zero panzer is the zoid equivalent to the full armor gundam
Please flex that collection.
Show your model collection I'd be interested in seeing what you got
Shield Liger will be always my favorite
I forgot this series existed, I used to have beast liger
I used to have the Liger Zero Phoenix Fuzors model in the correct color scheme when I was a kid. Who knows what happened to it. Wish I still had it
Crew and passenger are different
I love the Konig Wolf
I'm curious about the Zoid that's canonically piloted by the main protagonist of Zoids Saga 2/Zoids Legacy the Saberlion. Yes this is one of my most favorite Zoids but I noticed it's body shape is possibly similar to that of the Liger Zero, and Wild Liger. Is it just me or is it possible that the Saberlion could be from a similar type of Zoid build as the Liger Zero? And yes I had the traditional Aqua-Blue colored version of the Saberlion model.
The Ligers are basically the protagonist zoids.
jwiese100 yeah pretty much, then the tyrannosaurus type Zoids are the rivals and antagonists Zoids
Blade Liger's still my favorite
I didn't see the Zoids Legacy game here and that makes me sad.
I found zoids on Netflix and the tiger reminded me of a old toy my dad bought me when i was little
Aaaaaaaand a 3rd party company turned the 1/100 zoids agressive to a 1/72 version. Zoids genesis ligers by far are the sexiest ligers imo.
Numa Arban yes the supernova ones! They definitely look amazing and I’ve been looking at picking one up as the Genesis ligers definitely have some awesome designs.
What about the Slash Liger and Snipe Liger from Battle Story? You left them out.
I do not know if you made a video on it yet but collection flex video.
My only issue with zoids is the inconsistency with the artwork for the how big the unit is Liger zero 8 point something meters tall but the human barely comes up to the top of its claws makes it feel like it's even bigger than that at least with Gundam most of them being anywhere from 15 to 20 m tall humans are at least approximate in their comparison because I'm just under 2 m tall so me being 6 ft 5 I would be taller then the top of the Claws on liger zero feet so either the humans on planet z are just stupid short or the animators are very wrong with their sizing
Because 17 m is roughly 56 ft tall which means 8 m roughly 26 ft tall but a 26 ft tall giant animal robot would not properly have room for a cockpit inside the head and the only way it would make logical sense for how big the humans are compared to the zoids is if they were just about half a metre tall
wait, how about wild liger and beast liger from zoids wild and zoids wild zero?
Kaizer Emperaiga back when I made this video I still hadn’t watched Wild or Wild Zero so the wild and beast liger honestly just slipped my mind
I had a liger zero assemble kit when i was a kid. I have no idea where it is now lmao
There has been a few shield liger’s to have more than one pilot
Would you ever do a video on the Zoids Legcay gba game?
I was so sad when zoid wild ended 😭😿
FLEX THOSE COLLECTIONS!!!
Dan Dacut definitely will do soon! Just wanna finish my backlog from Japan first and I’ll get straight on it.
it would be cool to see og liger versus zoids wild liger
We might get to see that soon, not in the anime, but in the new Zoids Wild game releasing in Japan, the game is including older Zoids like the Blade liger and Geno breaker which is amazing to see
How about now you do all tiger/zaber fang style zoids
There are a few other ligers however they feature in zoids legacy for the gba
