Has anyone else kept up with the anime? I dropped off for a while but decided to just keep watching without subtitles. I'm up to episode 17 now and I have to say (and am slightly embarrassed to say) I'm liking it much more than I thought I would. The stupid parts are undeniably... very stupid, but for me there are some great moments too. Fang Tiger's appearance in #13 is so good, and for my money is more engaging than anything from the entirety of Zoids NC0. Just my two cents so far.

I watch the anime every week when it airs, and yeah, there are some facepalm moments and a decent amount of filler, but it also has some awesome battles. I also agree that the Fang Tiger battle is perhaps one of the best of any Zoids series. Non stop action, well animated, and a great overall impression. There are also some things this series just handles better than others (spoilers below) For example, after Episode 13, the loss of a character. It's not an obligatory 1 episode sob fest where he's then forgotten until they hit a big boss battle, and need an excuse to jump in like idiots. He continues to be remembered for the rest of the series, even outside of battle. His loss feels significant to the cast, and not written off until it's convenient.
Also often find myself surprised at how my opinion of Wild changes over time. I utterly despised the entire cast, Death Metal especially, but now I dare say I like most of the characters. Even (and especially) Death Metal. Gallagher may well be one of my favorite bad guys for reasons I can't quite pin down. Perhaps because he just genuinely enjoys the fight, in a way that's not as over-the-top arrogant or phoned in as other Zoids baddies. It's kind of like watching a game streamer. |

I still watch it. Somehow it's the only Zoids anime so far where I felt like watching all of the episodes. Really enjoying the synergy between the show, the model kits and the game (even though I don't understand any of it haha).

Ah, glad I'm not the only one. I'll have to get caught up faster so I can be current with the new episodes.
Hanyoutai, definitely agree about how that part was handled. Referenced in a very nice way with the season 2 ending as well.

I watch it the moment the torrent is available, since I'm no longer in Japan and can't watch it on Youtube.
