Code Lyoko

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.

Code lyoko is about a bunch of kids who find a super computer in a abandoned factory.With a little help from a super smart computer wiz Jeremie they soon find out that they can go into the computer and have powers!Sounds cool huh, but there is a catch because of this super world there is a evil source called xana, Xana trys to destroy the earth the only way to stop Xana is to help a virtual chick who lives in the computer and can enter a code that stops xana, but not forever!

There are 5 main characters Odd (The cute joker)Ulrich(the sulker!)Yumi(the not-so-shy girl)Jeremie(The brains of the operation!)and finally the damsil in distress Aelita a.k.a the computer chick!Together they stop xana and save the world!

Lyoko is what they call the computer world.There is no taste,smells or feelings in lyoko.The only light through the black tunnel is the gentle computer chick aelita!

There are also monsters in lyoko a crab like monster, a ball like monster, a wasp like monster and more!All the monsters work for the evil xana!

I LOVE this show!Try it out see how it fits. I am sure you'll love it!

Code Lyoko has both good and detrimental points. For a cartoon, it actually requires some effort to follow. Episodes are serial, but usually contain enough individually packaged information to give you a sense of what is going on.

Some of the positive points are: For a cartoon, Code Lyoko has an interesting amount of writing and character development. The set up for the show is also very interesting, adding a sci-fi element. The Characters are broad based, and while they play set roles, they can occasionally do something developmental. The action in the show is interesting, and although small scale, seems to have the appropriate tension associated with it. The computer graphics portion of the art is quite well done, reminiscent of shows like Reboot.

Some negative things about the show: The dub is of rather poor quality. Characters lines are often rushed to match existing footage. There are a distracting amount of stock scenes in any given episode. Also there are many goofs, but most of those are related to the stock scenes. Some people may not like the ultra-angular hand drawn portion of the art, especially noted are that people's heads are drawn very large.

With all that said, I still recommend this show. You'll get enough enjoyment out of just following the plot and characters to make up for the poorer features.

There is something wrong with each and every aspect of this show.

• Reuse of footage
• Bad superimposition
• Unnecessary and cheesy dialogue
• Bad dubbing
• Stilted acting
• Awkward 2D and 3D animation
• A billion things that don't make any sense
• An anti-climactic ending
• A villain that does not reach its full potential

But this show really goes to show you how much influence character can have. Every single one of the characters is likeable, memorable, interesting, defined, and fun to watch. And the voice actors can bring a lot of life to them. You care about them and you want to see them win. And even the characters who are bullies you end up really liking because the show takes the time to introduce you to different sides of them in stressful situations.

And to the show's credit, it increases in quality as it goes along.

The creature designs are really cool.

There are scenes that are surprisingly violent.

There are some legitimately tense moments, a result of the strong characterization.

This show is also a nostalgia fest for me. It's one of my favorites of all time and I will never be sick of it no matter how many times I binge watch it.

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!
