The 25th Anniversary is in full swing, with a popup tour currently ongoing! There's also a dedicated page for a special talk show coming on September 14th. The event will include live dubbing by the main cast, behind-the-scenes stories, and more. Attendees will receive an original tote bag and two Wixoss x Zoids collaboration cards. They also held a poll to see which episode people wanted to see shown at the talk show.

 Aside from the talk show there's also the popup tour. There's a huge list of goods being sold at the event shop and other displays at the venue including production art, character billboards, and more. In addition, the show started streaming (on Japanese streaming services) on the 15th of August. You can get a look at a lot of the event goods and such from this helpful Famitsu article. Pictures of the venue show off some amazing anime scene dioramas, including the Episode 33 scene of the Blade Liger Vs. Geno Saurer, the episode 34 defeat of the Death Saurer, the episode 41 battle between Schwarz's Iron Kong and Thomas' Dibison, and the triumphant episode 48 scene where the Lightning Saix finally throws off its armor!

 Zoids, the classic TV anime series is celebrating its 25th anniversary and it seems Takara Tomy has plans to do a variety of projects for it. We don't yet have images of any of it. However, this includes a collab with Wixoss, a card game in Japan that formerly collabed with Zoids Wild, which produced some rather cool art. (Fun fact, the same artist who worked on the Wild cards does a lot of Digimon stuff too, for those Digimon fans out there.)

 A special talk show is also planned for around September 14th, which we're looking forward to. There's also a pop-up tour which we don't know much about yet, but is planned for August 29th ~ September 18th. Paid streaming of the series is expected to begin this summer.

 The next wave of Zoids Episodes have hit Youtube, but I'd really like to talk about Fuzors! Fans who saw the earlier western release of this series may remember the underwhelming feeling. Fuzors isn't to a lot of people's taste. However, when the series aired in Japan, it had tons of differences, from changes in lighting effects to a copious amount of redrawn frames. Surprisingly, the entirety of Episode 2 was remade to be much darker in aesthetics and theme, really upping the visual impact of this battle. I highly recommend watching at least this one, to see the one episode you might've missed when watching the Western Release!

 During May ~ June, a brand new Zoids exhibit will be open in Japan. We currently don't know much about the event, but the site has pages for info and goods that haven't been added in yet. Zoids has held some pretty impressive exhibits in the past, so we look forward to seeing what they bring to this one.

In commemoration of the Zoids 40th anniversary, a nationwide traveling exhibit will be held, looking back on the history of Zoids. In addition to popular kits from past generations and 3D exhibits such as a diorama corner, materials from past anime series will also be on display. This is a memorial event for all generations of fans, ranging from the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras.  * Future schedules will be updated on the Zoids Exhibit website as necessary.  * The content of the event may be subject to change for certain reasons. Please be forewarned that the event contents are also subject to change.  (Event run time from May 26th ~ June 19th.)

    We've updated the Guardian Force section with the final 3 episodes. This includes a large number of screencaps and episode summaries, along with featured character/Zoid lists. There's still a ton of Chaotic Century episodes that need to be updated to blu-ray quality, though.

    Quick descriptions for the Japanese DVDs, Volumes 1 through 4 have been added to the Chaotic Century anime section. These reviews contain over 200 pieces of concept art in a small resolution, so I highly recommend checking it out. A big thanks to Falcarius for providing the images used in these overviews!

    We've added Episodes 61 ~ 64 of Guardian Force to the episode summaries. This includes screencaps from each episode and cut scenes from Episode 61, 62, and 63. Episode 64 didn't actually have any cutscene differences between the English and Japanese versions.

    We've also added the remaining Concept sketches to the Chaotic Century anime page. This concludes the full size scans that we have, but there are still a few smaller, lower quality concepts that will go up when we have the time to organize them. New concepts include: (Zoids) Blade Liger, Command Wolf, Gordos, Iron Kong, Lightning Saix, Molga, Pteras, Rev Raptor, Shield Liger, Ultrasaurus, Ultrasaurus with Gravity Cannon. (Central Characters) Van. (Side Characters) Various. (Environment) Imperial Flag (2nd image), Imperial Ring. (Organoids) Various.

    Speaking of concept art, there's a lot of new Chaotic Century concepts! We'll list all the new concepts below, since they're kind of intermixed with the old ones.

    - Characters: Dr. D, Marcus, Moonbay, Thomas
    - Zoids: Death Stinger, Geno Breaker, Gojulas, Gustav, Guysack, Red Horn, Redler, Saber Tiger, Ultrasaurus
    - Weapons: Imperial Army Gun & Holster, Republican Army Gun
    - Environments: Guylos Imperial Flag

    Official release news has been a bit slow since Wonderfest, but we've got some site-centric stuff to focus on. The first and most fun being a large update to the Anime > Chaotic Century > Concepts page! After receiving some of the production material we've been able to update with a ton of sketches. Because of the volume of images we'll be posting here we decided to split it up into several pages.

The new concepts are:
    Central Characters: Fiona, Hiltz, Prozen, Raven
    Side Characters: Herman, Rudolph, Schwarz
    Organoids: Ambient, Shadow, Specula, Zeke
    Zoids: Shield Liger
    Weapons: Military Issue and Irvine's Weapons

    Its been a while! And an exciting day, for sure.

    We've updated the Chaotic Century Media Box section with the first two openings and endings. We used to have some of these but the links were broken, and they weren't very bandwidth friendly. We'll be adding the rest at a later date, so pardon the empty boxes for now!

    The Chaotic Century Anime Encyclopedia has also been updated. This includes any relevant facts or locations from Episodes 42 through episode 60.

    A link has been added to the Zoids: Chaotic Century anime section to cover concept art. Right now it only includes what is posted on the volume 5 DVD but will help to organize the concept art from various sections later on.

    We've updated the Zoids Guardian Force Episode Summaries with Episodes 59 and 60. This includes screencaps from the blu-ray release and deleted scenes.

    We updated a couple days ago, as well! I wouldn't normally clarify but since its been a long time since we updated regularly I thought people might miss the earlier one.

    Four new Episode Summaries have been added to the Zoids Guardian Force section! This includes Blu-Ray quality screencaps as well as deleted scenes for Episodes 55 and Episodes 56. Episodes 57-58 do not contain any deleted scenes.

    Similarly the Zoids Media Box has been updated with the deleted scenes included in these episodes. At least where applicable.

    The Zoids Guardian Force section has been updated with Blu-Ray quality screen shots for episodes 41 through 45. This includes the deleted scenes for each respective episode, which can be found in both the anime section and in the Zoids Media Box under Chaotic Century.

    In similar news we've updated the Zoids Chaotic Century Media Box. It now includes several new eye catches, including: Death Stinger, Geno Breaker, Godos Pit Crew, Lightning Saix, Psycho Geno Saurer, Sinker Moonbay Special, Ultrasaurus, and the White Helcat.

    The Zoids Guardian Force episode summaries for episodes 35-40 have been updated. They now include the blu-ray screenshots and have had the deleted scenes from each respective episode added. Deleted scenes have also been cross posted to the Guardian Force media box.

    The Sales VHS set (but not the rentals) came with a Zoids Sticker Collection sheet in each box. You can see the corresponding sheet for each volume on their individual pages but if you wish to view them all at once, the section now has its own page in the "Assorted" category. It is listed under stickers.

    We've continued work on getting the Chaotic Century and Guardian Force files converted to Blu-Ray media. Five new episode summaries have been added, episodes 50 through 54. This includes deleted scenes (with the exception of Episode 50 which has none) and blu-ray quality screencaps for all of the episodes. As before, they are sized down from the full size.

    If you want to skip directly to deleted scenes they are all cross posted to the Chaotic Century/Guardian Force Media Box.
