I don't think they are making anymore, but Zoids Genesis is definitely the best of the Zoids, and one of my favorite anime.

Zoids: New Century was the first and only Zoids I ever watched, I thought it was a fun series... and the characters were pretty well designed... Though looking back on pictures now it's hard to believe. Anyway, I hadn't seen any of the Zoids series since that one stopped running on afternoon Toonami. Actually I think Bit and Leena were my first shipping couple, though I don't remember if I started watching Inuyasha around that time or not.... So in THAT case I'd be wrong, though I'm pretty sure I started watching Zoids around 5th Grade, so that'd be 2001 I believe.

My favorite thing about that series is I found the match judges so fascinating. From their dubbed voices to their design. I'm not entirely sure why I was drawn to them but they were one of the things that I enjoyed about the show.

Zoids series is dead anime-wise because the figures didn't sell.

First of all Zoids is still being produced although at a much slower rate than usual. So far there have been 5 finished anime series for the Zoids franchise starting with 1999s Chaotic Century and it's direct sequel Guardian Force running from September 4th 1999 to December 23rd 2000 with a total overall count of 67 episodes. This series' Japanese version was not as well recieved as the English Dubbed version and thus I'd always recommend the English Dubbing over the Japanese Dubbing.

The third series for the Zoids franchise, if you count Guardian Force as it's own seperate show from Chaotic Century, was New Century or New Century Zero as it's more commonly known English name. New Century ran from June 1st to the 30th of 2001 with only 26 episodes total. New Century got most of it's fans from Saturday cartoon blocks on TV and was what made the Liger Zero model so popular as well as introducing fans to the Armor Changing System that gave the Liger Zero Zoid 3 seperate Armor sets.

The fourth series of the Zoids franchise, technically the third series if you count Guardian Force as part of Chaotic Century, was Zoids Fuzors which ran from October 4th 2003 to December 27th 2003 for a total of 26 episodes. Fuzors was where the Fire Pheonix model got's it's fans from and another version of Liger Zero the Liger Zero Pheonix. This series also generated a new brand of Zoids called the Blox Zoids line. Originally Fuzors had a really bad reception in America causing the series to be cancelled after 13 episodes but thankfully it was picked up again by Australia and finished airing all 26 episodes in both Japan and Australia.

Series five of the Zoids franchise was Zoids: Genesis which was a huge hit after the critical failure that was Fuzors and ran from April 10th 2005 to March 26th 2006. Genesis' success however was limited to Japan mostly because the licensing by Viz Media was cancelled and thus Zoids: Genesis was never dubbed in English. Zoids Genesis ran for a total of 50 episodes the 2nd longest running Zoids show since the first 2 series combined into the Chaotic Century arc.

The most recent Zoids series, number 6, is still currently airing and was proposed as a re-branding for the franchise. This 6th series is called Zoids Wild and ran from July 7th 2018 to June 29th 2019 running for a total of 50 episodes. The reason I'm listing it as a still airing series is due to the fact that despite a second season being developed for late 2019 only 7 episodes have been subtitled in English since it's release. Reasons as to why the series hasn't been finished yet for English subtitles is currently unknown but as of right now the 1st season has ended and the second season called Zoids Wild Zero is scheduled for an October 2019 release.

Out of these 6 series for the Zoids franchise I am mostly familiar with Zoids Chaotic Century, Guardian Force, and New Century Zero which are the series I've finished watching all episodes for. I will be watching the remaining episodes of Fuzors I didn't see on TV, as well as all of Genesis and what has been subtitled for Wild.
