Airing in America on Cartoon Network's Toonami block, Zoids is now available on dubbed DVD from Pioneer Entertainment. Providing countless marketing opportunities, Zoids is a show that is fun and exciting for kids, and mildly entertaining for anyone else. The fourth volume of this series includes four episodes, and a few extras. Among those on the disc include a miniature character profile, with pictures and scant descriptions of a few of the Zoids and their respective pilots. There's also a score book that keeps track of all the battles, and also the winner of each. It's no surprise that the Blitz Team has won virtually every battle, so this extra is rather useless. Also, to no surprise, one of the extras on the disc includes a Hasbro commercial for Zoids action figure model kits. Perhaps the only worthwhile, and extremely cool, special item is the shiny insert-sized sticker that comes with the DVD that features one of the Zoids, and also a few specs on the machine. The weight of the disc rests on the contents of the disc, and with the scraggly story line, it's one that can only be watched one episode at a time.

While each of the episodes are interesting on their own, the overall story line of the series makes no logistic sense. No explanations are given as to why Zoid pilots fight battles with one another in the middle of nowhere for no reason, or even why the bad guys in the series are even bad. Also, there seems to be no continuing plot line whatsoever, as the tidbits that seem to connect with each other are often interrupted by random episodes. The story can more or less be described as a set of multiple plot lines that are continued once every volume or so. When watched continuously, this can be dull, but when watched once a week, or daily, as television episodes were made to be watched, it can be rather entertaining. It's easy to see how it would enthrall children, and even mecha-loving anime fans when watched on TV.
