They better give me some kind of explanation for that, however poor it may be. That includes explaining why MC weapons just happen to be the only weapons in the universe that not only does more than zero damage but one shots them, somehow making them dissolve into bones and then ash.

That includes explaining why MC weapons just happen to be the only weapons in the universe that not only does more than zero damage but one shots them, somehow making them dissolve into bones and then ash. Well kind of it's that Zoids aren't exactly built in Genesis they are dug up, (Previous people made them befor Armageddon roflstompted all of them) so by chance, the MC got his hand on one of the better ones. One with a sword that reacts with the silver armor of the Raptors. (causing them to melt) the silver armor is usually good against everything and serves as a beam coating but when Leeo weapons are used they kinda just suck. As far as Rakan and Re-mii goes, they have their background as to why they got good zoids, same with Kotonoha and Ron, I am not too sure how Garaga got his hands on Deadly Kong though.
+ Show Spoiler [Rakan+Re-mii] +Rakan and Re-mii are King/Princess of Kida-han so their Zoids are like top class. Re-mii got her Dad's LanceStag, which is commonly used in the Kida-han army. Most if not all lancestags are fitted with Leeo lances. + Show Spoiler [Kotonoha Elegance] +She's from Iron Rock, where they invented the Silver Armor (which was fell in to Digald hands) RainbowJerk was found under water in Iron Rock. Iron Rock people inherited a good amount of sky-people technology so Rainbow Jerk is fitted with Leeo weapons. + Show Spoiler [Ron Magum] +He's a sky-person no reason he doesn't have Leeo weapons.
As far as Garaga's Deadly Kong goes, + Show Spoiler +I guess Ron helped him get it. since it's pretty special too, it's got more Leeo weapon than every zoid in the show, has 2 cores (means it's actually 2 zoids roped together into one) Deadly Kong is the only Zoid with more than 2 Leeo weapons (2 Claws and One Large claw under the bandages) and he even gets 2 more later on. (2 Leeo Scythes)
But yes MC Hax is pretty overused in this anime Liger is way too overpowered no matter how you look at it

Mobile Dolls who were completely invulnerable to anything other than the MCs (Gundams). Having enemy mooks exist like that means that all other mook units are essentially worthless. If it was a Super Robot story, thats one thing, but Zoids are within the "Real" realm. What do you mean by "creative"? Like traps and stuff?
Ligers in other Zoids stuff were real good/powerful, but thats just because they were faster or had better weapons and such, combined with piloting ability. While the Liger from what I saw in Genesis was special because enemies were hax, and it had counter-hax.

Oh yeah shooting them in the mouth works too though they don't tell you that until like episode 20ish

I just really hated the concept because their simple existence made some of the cooler Zoids from past series all worthless, at least up to the part I got up to.

I don't really mind Liger being OP (though should still require good piloting) but as Sent said, I do mind when no one other than MCs have the ability to take out grunt level enemies. I guess if you have to get creative, it isn't as bad, but I prefer if it was more like "really strong armor/hp" rather than what is currently being shown as "only MC weapons can kill them." Also, I didn't click any of the spoilers. I'll find out myself eventually.

Strange to place to ask the question..but I thought it was really good when I was a kid. I rewatched it recently and it's not as good, but I'd still say it's decent.

I still like it, there are those little kid factors you just won't be able to get away from since that is its target demographic. But overall still good, especially the last season (they even have a beach episode! :D)

It's like having a Clannad Anime with Tomoya ending with Tomoyo or Kyou, it just isn't right.
What do you mean it was right, it was so right! The Tomoyo after was spectacular

Liar Game 141:
+ Show Spoiler +Well, it's another chapter about explaining an absurd game. However, is it just me, or would other people actually play some of these? Bid poker sounds pretty fun.
Odd to not see Akiyama jump at the mock game. I'm sure he already has a plan, though.
Negima
+ Show Spoiler +This really should have ended a long time ago. If it lasts too much longer... I'll probably still be reading, but I'll be mad as hell.

So apparently I just found out that there is going ot be a season 2 of Fate Zero. Does this mean that this season will end mid way? Considering how slow Fate Zero is going I suppose a season 2 wouldnt of been out of the question. I guess this mean that the series is going to follow the novel quiet well and going to be very in dept with the characters. I think this is awesome because it going to give the director alot of time and not jam everything in. This will definitely be amazing imo but is 50 episode too much? I havent played the novel so I cant really judge the pace of the anime with the novel but what do you guy think?
Here is a small list of the Spring anime, I cant tell if it is fake or not but it seem kinda legit.

Note: Sankerea anime?! WOOTS!

It ends at ep 13 or whatnot, Shear.
Enjoy the three month wait for the second half.
Edit: Horizon's got a similar issue, it's "ending" at ep 13 and we have no idea when the second half (or more) will be.
|
You people are late to the game about Fate/Zero being split into two. I got depressed over that back when the season started lol.
As for Horizon, according to some /m/ post the next season is planned for April or something. I'm more concerned about Horizon's 2nd season than F/Z's. Sunrise doesn't have a good track record for splitting up anime into part 1 and 2.
