Inspired by a classic video game, the animated Zoids comes with a ready-made and uniquely appealing story line and characters. Set on the desert planet Zi, where mechanized robot beasts known as Zoids are piloted by humans in fierce battles against one another, this episodic anime adventure series centers on a 16-year-old junk dealer named Bit Cloud. The unlikely choice of a catlike Zoid hero named Liger Zero to be the latter's intuitive pilot, Bit becomes a champion fighter for the warrior group Team Blitz. The four tales on this program explore Bit and Liger's feats of derring-do, as well as Bit's struggle for acceptance by his teammates. The fights are fun, the romantic conflicts are juicy, and Liger's courageous heart is a thing to behold. The show plays regularly on the Cartoon Network. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Zoids: The first DVD, February 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Zoids - The Battle Begins (Vol. 1) (DVD)

This DVD is the same episodes(the first few) that is/was being aired on cartoon network (at 4:30 every monday-friday). It starts out(the first episode) with a boy(16 i think) who comes to a battlefield (against the blitz team vs. the Tigers Team)where he tries to steal some parts from the battle. The batttle is cancled by leon, and is reschelded. He comes back later, and is caught, they tie him up. When they leave the area hes in, a zoid named ligerzero cuts him free, and ligerzero lets him pilot him. Later bit ran into the rescheled battle, and registers as one of the members of the blitz team, beats the Tigers team,and basically thats episode number one on this DVD!

I'm not sure if this DVD will also have the subtitled (langauage is japanese, but has english words on the bottom) version or not. Hopefully, it will be unedited!

5.0 out of 5 stars Zoids-Battle Begins, June 13, 2002

By	Anna (Las Cruces, New Mexico United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Zoids - The Battle Begins (Vol. 1) (DVD)

This series is cool.The first episode(the battle begins)is the first episode you see the Liger0.At first we find Bit(16)a junk dealer looking for parts when he finds a battle going on.The Blitz team vs. the Tigers team ready fight!A shield liger,command wolf,dibision,and a few zabers are in this battle.The shield liger(blitz team)trips over Bit's sleath truck and calls a battle cancel.The battle postpodned tell the next day.Bit goes to the base of the Blitz to apoligize but in the way gets caught.He meets the Liger0 which no one can pilot and turns otu that the Liger cuts him free and lets Bit pilot it which they run off.In the battle the next day Bit shows up in the middle of battle and turns out to win it.He is then registered as a warrior for the Blitz team.Other episodes in this Vol. are New Partners vs. Namoi the Red Comet which Bit fights Namoi and her awesome Gun Sniper,The Price Arrives:Harry Champ who trys to win Leena's love but she uses Bit and a battle turns on,and Unsanctioned Battle:The Mysterious Backdraft Group where you firs meet this group who like to bend the rule and win but loose.You should buy this with funny and great episodes.
