When I first saw this series, I wasn't expecting very much. Boy was I wrong. The series drew me in with the captivating plot about Zoid EVE and the Ancient Zoidian Race. Having a killer war story didn't hurt it's cause either. I absolutely loved the characters. The dynamic between Raven and Van is much better than any other hero and rival. Batman and Joker, Gokou and Vegeta, Superman and Luthor. Van and Raven top them all. They both get great character development throughout the story and also have some of the greatest fights. Fiona is a 'nuff said character. Her naiveness and mystery draw the viewer in. Irvine gets a chance to shine in episodes like "Run, Wolf" and "The Black Lightning". And Moonbay, well her singing gets better.
The villains are nice because you can feel for people like Raven and Ryss, while despising Hiltz and Prozen. The plot is so amazing as well, and the music is just so cool. This series gets a 10/10.
