Sum it up in a Sentence:
For some reason this world has giant metal robot animals called Zoids (which evolved cockpits at some point), inhabitants of the world do only logical thing: pit teams of the beasts against each other and bet on the outcomes.
Main Description
Shady salvager turned giant robot pilot Bit Cloud stars as a new addition to the Blitz team. Together with teammates Leena and Brad, he struggles to make it to the top of the Zoid Battle Commission's tournament-thing. He pilots the previously unpilotable Liger Zero, which despite not having any weapons, is basically the best Zoid ever. Episodes generally contain a "Zoid battle", Leena yelling, Bit yelling attacks and Professor Toros showing no regard for the lives of the Blitz Team.
If You Liked This, You Might Like...
Great Teacher Onizuka - Seriously, Bit and Onizuka are like exactly the same character. As a bonus GTO is a much better show than Zoids, so if you liked Zoids you are going to love GTO.
Mazinger Z - Zoids and Mazinger Z share a genre. The genre of shuttin' off my brain and watching giant robots. Both are shows that are just a fun ride if you can surrender yourself to it.

Hell, I loved this show when I was young too.
For kids I would rate this show a 4/5, but for an older crowd I guess a 3 would suffice. Fun for kids, or for adults if you just want to watch it for nostalgic value.
