# Ejen Ali

Ejen Ali (Jawi: ايجين الي, lit. 'Agent Ali') is a Malaysian animation series produced by WAU Animation. The titular character is a young 12-year-old boy named Ali who accidentally becomes a special agent after using the Infinity Retinal Intelligent System (IRIS), a device prototype created by the Meta Advance Tactical Agency (MATA). IRIS is controlled by neuro-signals, enabling the wearer to perform actions programmed by the computer. After the incident, Ali and his uncle, Bakar, cooperated in MATA missions.
The series is published in HDTV format and was first broadcast on TV3 on 8 April 2016. Ejen Ali is the first animation series IP published by Media Prima Berhad (MPB).

## Background
### Setting

Ejen Ali is set in Cyberaya, a fictional city inspired by the real city of Cyberjaya, located between Kuala Lumpur and its main airport. Cyberaya is a technologically advanced city, much as the real-life Cyberjaya had envisioned.
In episode 3, MISI: Main, Cyberaya is shown to have a rapid transit system.

### Organization

The series revolves around Meta Advance Tactical Agency (MATA), a paramilitary, Pinkerton-style spy agency, made up of four company-sized units known as pillars.

## Production

Director and scriptwriter Usamah Zaid Yasin came up with the idea for the series after establishing WAU Animation in 2013. For the storyline, he and his team watched films and animated series and read novels about spies and intelligence agencies. Making Ejen Ali took two years before the production work started in July 2015. Regarding his title choice, Usamah said that Ali is a simple name and frequently used in textbooks. After some initial difficulty choosing a simple name, Ali was chosen. Unlike most animated TV series in Malaysia, the end credits of the series were written in English instead of Malay, as was done with BoBoiBoy.
Wau Animation initially intended for Ejen Ali to be released as a feature film, but due to difficulties securing investment and after receiving feedback from other parties, they felt that it would be a loss if they only produced a single movie for such a broad concept. They planned to develop the series for at least five seasons, with films to follow. The first movie was finally released after two seasons on 28 November 2019.

## Characters
### Main
#### Ali Ghazali

    Voiced by: Ida Rahayu Yusoff (Malay); McKenzie Atwood (season 3) (English)
    Ali Ghazali is a lazy, school-going boy with a lack of complete maternal love for his only best friend, Viktor. He lives with his father, who happens to be a tech prodigy from Cyberaya. In seasons 1 and 2, and the movie, Ali's primary gadget is the "Infinity Retinal Intelligent System" or "I.R.I.S.", which he accidentally wielded while being struck into pursuit by Dos. Since the gadget had scanned Ali's iris for the first time, it was permanently conjoined with his optical biometric interference. He used I.R.I.S. until he unlocked its hidden "override mode", which performed on higher capabilities but would keep Ali unconscious during the time. Ali would make a device mirroring the original, named IRIS Atlas, which evolved to become IRIS Neo. Due to misuse and defects, he was officially separated from the original gadget. His other devices included his yo-yo (gives an impacted blast), aero boots (for boosts like hovering and high jumping), and a magnetic suit, introduced in season 3. He was temporarily transferred to the combat pillar in the eighth episode of the third season.

Bakar was framed as the "enemy's spy" when a CCTV camera showed him sending the data of the I.R.I.S. blueprint to the enemies.
