Genre
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.
Personal Opinions
Len
Recently decided to watch this because I had memories of it being a fun show about robot fighting when I watched it before the bus showed up in 7th grade. Watching it now its not nearly as good as it could be. The story was ok and the battles for the most part are boring and repetitive. This one should have stayed in memory 2/5

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.

Fuck all the haters, this show is great. Assuming you don't go looking for depth that isn't there, this show is a lot of fun. For maximum enjoyment grab a group of friends and shout out all the attacks in unison. Don't get bored when the "liger is gonna kick ass now" music comes on, GET PUMPED UP!
