I really hope it is. I enjoyed Zoids: CC so much, and I don't see why so many anime fans shun it...

I shun it because it's not very good. And I hate zoamorphic robots. I'm actually not very fond of humanoid robots, either, but if one is going to watch anime, one has to get over that.

Zoids is an underrated show. The two stages (Chaotic Century and Guardian Force) aired at a time people do not usually watch. If the fans push for dvd's to be produce, someone might release them.

Another reason that Zoids CC and GF are shuned because CN had to put a piece of S**T called Zoids/Zero first. Because Zoids/Zero was a piece of cr*p, people refuse to watch Zoids CC & GF.

CN sometimes piss me off! Evil or Very Mad To me, it seems they sometimes purposely ruined great anime! (Look what they're doing to Rurouni Kenshin and Big O Crying or Very sad )

You might have a case against CN treatment of Rurouni Kenshin, but Sean Atkins has said it probably should have been an Adult Swim show. Your complaints against The Big O, however, are bafflint to me. It was cut for its original Toonami runs, but it's subsequent Adult Swim run was uncut, as is the second season. They've handeled The Big O splendidly.

Further, the quality of Zoids Zero (which did not impress me, to say the least) had nothing to do with the failure of Zoids Choatic Century (whichis probably the best extended advertisement I've ever seen). Zoids: Choatic Century, elitists take out your notepads and write this down, flopped because it bored and thus failed to achieve sufficient ratings with the 9-11/9-14 age group Cartoon Network targeted the show toward.

I was meaning, how they are putting once a week. They even announced in those messages between the show, that Big O's ratings are going down!

I'm happy it's uncut, but I hate how they put it once a week.
Thats why they are ruining the Big O.

The Big O's second season was co-produced by Cartoon Network, so they have a vested interest in stretching it out as long as they can to get advertising revenue over the longest period they can. And The Big O's ratings have actually gone up since it premiered (in part due to extensive advertising). It was the third highest ranked show on the block twice (as per the cards) and while it's ratings aren't spectacular, they are quite acceptable for an action show on CN. So I really don't think they're ruining it, they're just trying to get the most out of the money they spent on the series.

You'll note that that was not because they had any problems with editing it, but rather that it attaracted an older audience than Toonami aims for.
