Code Lyoko

This is one of my favorite shows! It's my favorite French anime show, definitely, and I love the way the plot works. There's something new and yet a little bit of something old in every episode. And every episode is different! I've been exposed to Code Lyoko for about two months now, and it's one of the best I've ever seen! My two best friends and my two sisters agree with me on this show! I like to write stories in my free time, and this show gives me SO much room for ideas for writing that I don't know which ones to choose! My best friend introduced me to this show. I have thanked her numerous times for that. My all-time favorite thing about the show is that there are no adults involved in saving Lyoko! Congrats, Lyoko crew! Aelita, Ulrich, Odd, Jeremy, and Yumi, you all are a great team!

Shouldn't the protagonists of Code Lyoko all need therapy? I mean, think about the stress of having to save the world every day. Imagine having all your friends constantly almost die. It's amazing how resilient cartoon children are.

But the first thing I'd like to point out, in response to a lot of the comments here, that all animation does not have to look like Japanese anime. Really, it doesn't. It's not like all anime series look that great. Sure, Paranoia Agent or Cowboy Bebop are swell, but Pokemon is nothing to write home about. The French have made some very nice looking cartoons, like Fantastic Planet and Kaena. There are a lot of animators in France, in fact, and they have a perfect right to follow the French tradition of animation rather than the Japanese one. Of course, Code Lyoko is influenced by the Japanese, like most animation, but it is also in keeping with its countries products.

Personally, I really like the show's character design. It's one of the reasons I decided to check it out after seeing a commercial. A lot of cartoons look like a lot of other cartoons, and the distinctive faces attracted me to Lyoko and made me think it might be more than just another cookie cutter cartoon.

Lyoko is a rather odd show, because each episode is structured in almost exactly the same way. The evil computer virus accesses the real world, the heroes go into the virtual world and kill some monsters, and everything is fixed and time is reset to before the disaster (I haven't seen the early episodes so I don't know if they explain why or how time is reset; this show doesn't seem that interested in details).

Lyoko is definitely a kid's cartoon, even though I enjoy it. It's not as sophisticated as Batman or Trigun, but characters are distinct, there are some interesting ideas, and it does have a nice look to it. It's not a great cartoon series, but it's a good one.

Code lyoko is one of my personal favorite shows. I do know a lot of people who hate it, but I'm not afraid to say I like it! Okay, it does have a lot of goofs. They need to work on that, and try to avoid those. But I still think that it's worth watching. Some people think the animation is a little blah - the big heads, and the eyes. But it's better than the stuff they draw in like, Danny Phantom.You know, the circle-eyes, square heads....it's just another cruddy action cartoon. It's unique. Speaking of which, I do think that people need to think of something other than save-the-world-group-of-good guys type of show. There are just too many of those, and all the plot outlines are the same (now I'm not saying I have anything against all shows like that). But Code lyoko is different. There's actually a story to it, you know what I mean? and one main bad guy, not a hundred. I definitely think you should give this show a try. You just might like what you see!

Personally, I love the animation series. Although most are critical to the show, I believe it is better than most I've seen.

First off, the personalities are great. They seem like everyday kids...unless you dig deeper into their secret lives of heroes... But most say the animation is horrible. I think the huge foreheads are better than having CD-ROM shaped eyes, such as most shows(I do consider this anime/cartoon)

The eyes are normal shaped!

The dubbing is bad, I must admit, but it got a whole of a better within season two, mostly now that it is, supposedly, receiving help from American artists.

Children of all ages can watch it, making it a hit with adults with younger children, as some say.

Also, the plot is very attracting to many people. It has an interesting writing style, and plot line.

No one has yet to create such mixture of strangeness and creativeness. To my friends and I, anyways.

Also, it has been able to forage a DVD, in which cases people would say it has many a fan; it does!

There are plenty of fans, most of which have proved they like the show and are not afraid to say they do.

With more help and merchandising on the way, it'll turn into a better show.

Overall, the show is awesome and an attention grabber for life!

What do you think the coolest cartoon these days? I think Avatar on Nick and Code Lyoko on Cartoon Network are the best. Even though the style of two shows is different, both of them have strong game aspect and interestingly show the fusion Asian martial art. Their fighting scenes are really cool! Especially, I got hooked by CL season 3 when Aelita was finding out whether her father is still alive. This show is getting better season after season. I am so exited CN started airing season 4. Also, I am noticing a Website has the episodes from the first season. http://www.kabillion.com/codelyoko/?refuser=kamki. Seems like they are putting some eps. on Comcast VOD, too.
