Shogakukan-Shueisha Productions has announced a project for the 25th anniversary of the Zoids anime. This is a separate project from the 40th anniversary one, which was in 2023 and focused on the toys. [Thanks, Game Watch!]
The first Zoids anime will also be available on streaming services. You’ll be able to watch it via sites like Amazon Prime Video and Hulu from August 15, 2024. There’s no information on whether or not it’ll be available outside of Japan. This will be specifically the first Zoids anime, which was Chaotic Century in the west. As a note, this was the first anime series to air in Japan but the second for those in English territories. The west had New Century first. New Century was the second anime for Japan.
The special talk show will take place on September 14, 2024. Daisuke Kishio (Van), Makiko Ohmoto (Elisi), and Mitsuki Saiga (Raven) will be the voice actors present. Director Takao Kato and character designer Tadashi Sakazaki will be there as well. Tickets for this event will become available from September 1, 2024.
The pop-up tour will run from August 29 to September 18, 2024 in Ikebukuro. You’ll be able to get exclusive goods like acrylic stands and keychains. As well, if you purchase over 5500 JPY worth of items, you can get a commemoration card that combines the 25th anniversary of the Zoids anime with the 10th anniversary of TCG Wixoss.
Wendy’s First Kitchen in Japan will also feature a Zoids collaboration menu from August 22 to September 18, 2024. New versions of Blade Lighter and Geno Saurer will be on display in Ikebukuro by the pop-up tour store and Wendy’s First Kitchen as well.
The Zoids anime project for the 25th anniversary of the series will start in Japan from August 15, 2024.
