Response

The Zoids: New Century manga was poorly recieved. It was criticised for its artwork, which was regarded as being inferior compared to the art featured in the Zoids: Chaotic Century manga. Characterization was another point of contention, with an excessive focus on Bit Cloud and many characters perceived as behaving "out of character" compared to their anime counterparts; for example, Leena's portrayal as a weepy, helpless damsel in distress, and Stoller's depiction as a cackling, bloodthirsty villain. The lack of fan-favourite characters such as Harry Champ, Jack Cisco and Vega Obscura was another point of contention, as was the story's breivity, at a mere four chapters.
