Problem here is that most people see animation as for kids as a whole, and those who do know a small amt. about anime usually just assume "Gay anime porn" (Note: Their words, not mine) , and believe me, a kid got ahold of a Newtype USA of mine, and, upon seeing the ad for Chobits on the inside cover, uttered rougly those words. It's really annoying, and most Non-Otaku don't understand it. What are NGE and Crush Gear?

It's really annoying, and most Non-Otaku don't understand it. What are NGE and Crush Gear? Yeah. It's like those people who cut their teeth on Akira and a few episodes of Dragonball Z, and then claim that Goku can whip just about everyone's butt. Gay anime porn. Riiiiiiiiiiiight. I can understand not knowing Crush Gear. It's rather famous over here, and it's just a bunch of vehicles with lotsa spinning drills and buzzsaws and such, pitted together in a Beyblade style stadium. Nothing screams 'FAD!' more than that. On the other hand.... you don't know NGE? From mecha-loving you? That's a real surprise. It stands for Neon Genesis Evangelion. I seriously recommend it, 'cos it's a classic. One of my faves. And definitely definitely definitely not for children.

I voted for the model cause they have more appeal to them (IMHO) but I love the anime!! Cause after the anime I went looking for the Zoids and when I found out that they were models, well the rest is history!! BlkBitCloud1

Oh, see, I'm used to calling it EVA. I really need to buy that whole thing, Death and Rebirth, and the End of Evangelion on DVD. My wallet's nearly dead, though, so that won't be soon. And yes, I think DBZ is bad ;D

I've watched the ADV subs, but I never did watch Death & Rebirth. Skipped it in favor of End Of Evangelion.
'End Of' was....
*flashbacks to Shinji screaming*
Ack.
*flashbacks to Asuka's fight with the 9 Mass Production EVAs*
ACK.

Models and models only - most anime are just...sad. I'm sure some of the battle scenes are nifty, but Zoids were originally a great line of toy - oops!...I mean MODEL KITS. The various anime are pretty much half-hour commercials that I think take away from the imagination-firing capability of the kits themselves. My .02 worth.

Models came 1st anyway,
well anime shows you the more or less accurate world of zoids, how things are and how fights go. Also it helps you understand things more after u see them, also make improvements and such. Im sayin that anime in zoids is a good thing, but it comes down to models
