Gen:LOCK Episode 4 Discussion


Recommended Posts

I really hate action shows/movies that hide all the good action during dark/night scenes. Up the damned contrast.

That said, still kinda cool on this show. It's not bad. But. I think the mechs really limit the range of motion for animating the fight scenes. Being what I would've expected to be the big draw (for me), so far, disappointed. Hasn't really done much to get my attention. Kinda generic.

I miss that show and the first one.

That was a show I watched in between other shows lol.  I remember having the Technozoids toys and was annoyed none of the ones my brother and I had were in the show, and that they had shortened it to just "Zoids."

These are the ones I remember us having -

KOT-TZ-EvilScorpion.jpg

KOT-TZ-StrikeZilla.jpg

KOT-TZ-EvilPegasus.jpg

But I don't remember what happened to them.  T__T

And of course they're expensive now. T___T

But yeah, these ones were way cooler than any of the Zoids in that show!

And what do you mean first one?

Nice zoids!

 

Oh.

The one you posted the image of, of the Liger Zero, from Zoids (original name Zoids/Zero) was the first Zoids we got on CN

But there was another one that CN also played right around that same time which technically was the first Zoids series, which got aired as Zoids: Chaotic Century (Season 1) and Zoids: Guardian Force (Season 2)

So I was just referring to this other one when I said the first one was really good too.

 

Both of these shows were awesome back then.

Yes they were awesome!  I got sticker shock looking up Evil Pegagus just now.  That was my favorite, too!  Damn childhood toys becoming expensive collectibles!

The OP.  Yeah, the one with the white tiger and the cute girl with floating hair thingies is the one I remember.  Like I said I don't remember it being that amazing or anything lol.  I don't remember those other ones just looking at what you've posted, so maybe I didn't see those.

Yeah, that one was the one that got big promos on Toonami so that makes sense.

Yeah it's possible you didn't see it, I think it aired really early in the morning whichever day it was that they aired Chaotic Century and Guardian Force, since I remember recording it most of the time, unlike the other one which aired on Toonami in the afternoon in addition to regular CN. Probably like Saturday morning or something outside the Toonami block.

So you might not have seen it.

Also, one of the main things that keeps it in my memory is that CN kept restarting to the beginning with only 4 eps to go of Season 2 (Guardian Force) lol

So eventually they did a big Final Four marathon premiere of the finale! Oh man this promo brings back memories lol

I'm trying to remember if one of the shows may have come on before or after Rave Master, and possibly early in the morning, because I had to set up the VCR to record that, since I ain't no fricken morning person, lol.  Wiki says Rave Master came on regular afternoon Toonami, Miguzi, and some Sunday morning Miguzi block, but I don't remember ever watching it on Miguzi.  Maybe it is .hack that I am thinking of coming on early in the morning.  I still think that first Zoids show or another one may have came on before or after Rave Master, but I could be wrong on that.

That's really weird.  Why were they not able to air the last 4 episodes with the others for so long?

That's a good promo at least, heh.

No idea, yeah, I don't remember if we ever found out other than that they were finally able to do it was that marathon lol.

Yeah it's possible, I know I was setting up the VCR for several of these too.

Yeah I really like seeing that promo again, got Blum in there too for TOM.

That just speaks to the inexperience and inability to make the concept work.  Rooster Teeth is not used to working with big set pieces like this considering their previous hit was about hand to hand combat.
