The name of the show Zoids. It's kinda I've only seen it a couple times, but it looked interesting.

psst...for those who have seen the show, the chick has a kick-ass mech!

Oh come on. Zoids is cool. ^.^ I think many people are too afraid to make an AMV because it'll probably end up like a DBZ AMV. However, if you used Zoids: Chaotic Century. . .

Zoids certainly isn't overused, I'll give it that. But does it exist in a format other than taped-from-TV copies that include Cartoon Network bugs in the corner?

I fear that most of those that do get made will be heavy on the flash and action, and not terribly deep.

I've only seen one of the few that exist in the database, and it was not at all good.

Alright here I go:

*cracks knuckles again* I should really get a template for doing this. But here goes:

Zoids itself, I would not consider anime. Sure the characters are anime-esque, but so what? Does every cartoon that comes out in Japan automatically become anime? I'm sure they have regular cartoons like Looney Tunes and Mickey Mouse too. And I'm DAMN sure they don't sit there and make LTMV Message boards (Looney Tunes Music Videos). The thing is, we CAN make videos out of these things, because the animation and action are things we just can't get here in America. But just because we CAN...doesn't mean we always should. To me, Zoids makes several mistakes. The animation is usually dim, not vibrant and full of depth. Zoids also tries to implement three dimensional images into its usually low-quality drawings, making it look even cheaper. To me, Zoids seems like some fat American took Gundams, made them animals, and tried to draw them as if they were anime.

My next point is: WHAT SONG WOULD YOU USE FOR ZOIDS!? The show itself lacks a decent soundtrack, or even good voice actors. So WHY in the world would you try to make it look cool?

Now, I agree, Very few people have used it, so it seems like an original idea. But think of it this way: I'm sure the guy who created Zoids probably thought his idea was original too....another reason why just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Leave Zoids rot. To me, it's like Monster Rancher and that shitty new Kirby show: If we ignore it...maybe it'll go away.

Erm, anime is Japanese Animation. And so by definition every 'cartoon' that comes out of Japan is pretty much anime. Does not mean that the quality must be good (I don't see much wrong with Zoids anyway), and Zoids still has an 'anime' style to it anyway. It's all opinion, I think it's underrated because of its target audience, and that it's pretty cool, if he likes it none of you should bother flaming him if he thinks its underused and wants to make an AMV.
