Plot synopsis:
Jeremie Belpois, a 13-year-old boy attending boarding school at Kadic Academy, discovers a quantum supercomputer in an abandoned factory near his school. Upon activating it, he discovers a virtual world called Lyoko with a young girl, Aelita, trapped inside it. A series of bizarre events begin to occur at Kadic Academy. Jeremie learns of XANA, a malevolent artificial intelligence multi-agent system who also dwells within the supercomputer. XANA's goal is to conquer the real world and all human beings.
Throughout Season 1, Jeremie works to materialize Aelita into the real world and stop XANA. Jeremie is aided by his three friends Ulrich Stern, Odd Della Robbia, Yumi Ishiyama as they, along with Aelita, are virtualized into Lyoko in order to save both worlds from the sinister virtual entity. In "Code: Earth," Aelita is finally materialized, but the group discovers that XANA had planted a virus inside Aelita, which prevents them from shutting down the supercomputer.
The second season focuses on the group as Aelita adjusts to life in the real world while Jeremie searches for an anti-virus for Aelita. In Lyoko, a fifth sector is discovered and the group explores more of Lyoko's secrets and mysteries, while XANA attempts to steal Aelita's memory in order to gain the keys to Lyoko and free itself.
In the third season finale, the group is joined by William Dunbar. Once virtualized in Lyoko, William is possessed by XANA. He remains under XANA's possession for majority of the season, but is saved later on. After he returned he had a difficult time gaining the trust of the Lyoko Warriors. In Code Lyoko: Evolution he was referred to as a permanent addition to the group for the first time.

Review: 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.
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!.
Code lyoko is one of my personal favorite shows.
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.
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.
Sissy's monologues are the only soliloquies I have ever seen and heard in a cartoon show.There are an amazing number of goofs in the show and a lot of stock scenes are re-used, but this does not really detract from the enjoyment of the show.All-out action fans will hate this show because it's not all-out action.
Though, as all cartoons do, it began a bit confusing for me (The first time I saw it (about the middle of the first ep) I thought Sissi was Yumi...), I caught on quickly.Code: Lyoko is unique among cartoons.
It is shown in both an anime style for the real world (which results in many-including some well-known sites- mistaking it for a Japanese cartoon, it is not, it is French) and a computer style for the Lyoko world.
This is left to the fans-and Season Two, as we hope...The show has realistic characters, an amazing plot, and a good eye for suspense.
Near the beginning of the series run, his voice was very high, but around the fourth or sixth episode, it changes, and it now sounds like he's trying very hard to sound older.
When I first started watching it didn't seem very great, but after watching an entire episode I was hooked.The show is mainly about these group of kids and this "Virtual" girl named Aelita fighting this evil computer genius named XANA.Some of the scenes are hard to know, because the episodes I watch are cut off because obviously Cartoon Network doesn't want to show some of the content.
Code Lyoko is a GREAT/EXCELLENT show!
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.
It's not like all anime series look that great.
The French have made some very nice looking cartoons, like Fantastic Planet and Kaena.
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.
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 a great cartoon series, but it's a good one..
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.
It's my favorite French anime show, definitely, and I love the way the plot works.
I've been exposed to Code Lyoko for about two months now, and it's one of the best I've ever seen!
My all-time favorite thing about the show is that there are no adults involved in saving Lyoko!
Aelita, Ulrich, Odd, Jeremy, and Yumi, you all are a great team!.
Code Lyoko has both good and detrimental points.
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.
I still loved it, although by the time I was already 12 years old.The thing does not end here, as this year I was scrolling through Youtube and found all the episodes.
And even at my age, I absolutely loved it.So the show starts when Jeremie Belpois, a 13-year-old boy attending boarding school at Kadic Academy, discovers a quantum supercomputer in an abandoned factory near his school.
Upon activating it, he discovers a virtual world called Lyoko with a young girl, Aelita, trapped inside it.
Throughout Season 1, Jeremie works to materialize Aelita into the real world and stop X.A.N.A. Jeremie is aided by his three friends Ulrich Stern, Odd Della Robbia, Yumi Ishiyama as they, along with Aelita, are virtualized into Lyoko in order to save both worlds from the sinister virtual entity.
In "Code Earth" Aelita is finally materialized, but the group discovers that X.A.N.A. had planted a virus inside Aelita, which prevents them from shutting down the supercomputer.The second season focuses on the group as Aelita adjusts to life in the real world while Jeremie searches for an anti-virus for Aelita.
Once virtualized in Lyoko, William is possessed by X.A.N.A. He remains under X.A.N.A.'s possession for majority of the season, but is saved later on.While the show's target is young people, the plot contains enough to satisfy any viewer.
The animation is really good, considering when the show was made, and I truly recommend watching the show.
This, coupled with action and fight scenes in Lyoko, make for a great show that will please everybody.Even though the storyline is wonderful, the show has a few flaws.
Like in season 3, there were only 15 episodes.
I think Avatar on Nick and Code Lyoko on Cartoon Network are the best.
I was 15 when I watched code lyoko again, and I'm not afraid to say that I still loved it.
In two months I watched all 95 episodes of it, I guess it was 4 or 5 seasons.
My critique, then, comes with the new series of code lyoko evolution.
Most people do not like the idea of change, but I kept an open mind in watching it.
It was good idea, and usually I would rather have a show that has real characters as opposed to animated characters.
However, there was just something about this show that I loved so much better in the animated version.
I guess it might be the kid inside of me that like the cartoon aspect of it, I don't know.
It had great plot lines, and a great balance of action (although unrealistic and kind of predictable) and also did a good job on the relationships and personalities of the characters.
For the most part, viewer feedback is that evolution is not nearly as good as the animated version.
Fortunately for me, Cartoon Network has started to play the episodes from Season 1 Epi 1 - to the end?
I highly recommend at least watching it once just to get you own opinion, but just to full warn you the first episode doesn't explain much about what you'll more than likely want to find out about, if you've heard about it from friends, or somewhere online OR offline..
Code:Lyoko is my favorite show!
But yeah, I love the characters, and how there is more than one plot to a show, like between Ulric and Yumi, and sometimes with Odd and another girl, but Ulric and Yumi's conflict is always present in the shows.
When they first came out with Code:Lyoko, I was really confused, but I caught on after a while, because thankfully, the plot is easy to understand and the characters are easy to memorize.
I think the return to the pasts' are interesting to watch, because you always know whats going to happen, but you are curious to how things change.
Even if I haven't seen a whole episode, I still watch the end no matter what,because I can get almost the whole plot out of just the last few minutes, and the return to the past scene.
As one of the main shows that influenced my imagination as a kid, and even as a teenager growing up, this show is just overall greatness, amazing, and intricate story/plot, interesting and unique characters, cool scenarios, and by far my most favorite villain in a cartoon/animated show.
Meh. Well, its nice to see animation from somewhere other than America or Japan (Code Lyoko is French), but aside from that, the show is disappointing.
The plot is wonderful, but you can't "get" it unless you watch the show from the beginning- those coming into the series after it is underway will end up being incredibly confused, as what the characters are doing and why they are doing it is never re-hashed.
The drawings look like bad attempts at anime.
The 3-d scenes are nicely rendered, but just look like shots from a well-done video game, nothing we're not used to seeing.
The characters themselves also bomb as far as personality goes, they generally come off as being naive at best and annoyingly wishy-washy at worst, with Aelita topping the list as a pathetic damsel in distress.
There may be a spoiler or two...When I first glanced at Code Lyoko, I thought it was going to be just another action cartoon.
Once I actually started watching it, I realized that it showed real promise.
Although there are points that do need improvement, I see this show having a solid run.Four kids (Jeremie, Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi) find an abandon factory with a secret underground lab that gives them access to a virtual world called Lyoko.
The relationships between the characters are refreshingly real, and the romance between Ulrich and Yumi develops nicely over the course of the episodes.
Once you look past them you see that the main characters are surprisingly three-dimensional.Code Lyoko has very good ratings, being the second highest rated show in its target demographic, 6-11 year olds, and has attracted a number of older viewers as well.In my opinion, Code Lyoko could turn out to be one of the better action cartoons to come out, and I look forward to see how it improves once season two comes out..
POSSIBLE SPOILERS:Code Lyoko is a French anime-style cartoon with CGI about four kids who discover a virtual world known as Lyoko.ANIMATION:I would say that the animation is comparative with such shows as "The New Adventures of Johnny Quest".
On the other hand, one character changed his whole outlook on the main characters in three seconds!I rate character development with a 4 out of 10.OVERALL:Code Lyoko is an interesting show with elements of such hits as "The Matrix" and "Reboot".
Despite the often subpar voice acting, poor character development, and confusing story progression (the episodes usually end with them going back in time to the day's start), I would say that this show has the potential to be remembered as a classic on the level of "Dragonball".Code Lyoko is given a 9 out of 10 because of minor problems..
The first thing I should say is that Code Lyoko is a french Anime, and I believe it is set in France, although there isn't anything that can confirm that.My little brother first started watching Code Lyoko about half way though the first season.
However, like any good there is a bad.
It will wreck it's havoc on earth, and to stop him the group must go to Lyoko and help a virtual girl named Aelita get to the tower to de-activate it.With the addition of season two adding the mystery of a possible creator, the show has had more depth.Over all, it's a great show.
Code Lyoko...a new type of cartoon.
Aelita sees the most change, going from a mere face on a screen and maiden in distress on Lyoko (who sometimes could take care of herself, but not a lot) to a real fleshed-out character.
We also feel for her as she suffers from strange visions, cheer her on as she kicks butt in Lyoko all by herself (the "surfing scene" in "A Bad Turn," where Aelita battles a whole herd of Hornets by herself on the Overboard, is the best example of this), and go through shock with her in the season's last 2 episodes as facts about her past become clear.Speaking of that, plot...wow.
The episodes thus ran in a formula: exposition, X.A.N.A. attack on Earth, Aelita reports an activated tower, group goes to the factory (with usually one member unable to make it right away or not at all due to unforeseen circumstances), fights X.A.N.A.'s monsters so Aelita can get to the tower, Aelita gets to the tower, she types in the code, Jeremie says "Return to the past now" and the group goes back in time, and then a dénouement (resolution).The plot has gotten better with season 2, though.
Plus, with fewer returns to the past, there is less of a need of the formulaic "back to the beginning as though nothing ever happened" sort of ending.Now, all one can do is wait for seasons 3 and 4, which are coming soon, and also the rumored prequel movie which will tell how the group found out about Lyoko and Aelita..
Code Lyoko is one of my favorite shows of all time!!!
The show follows five kids, Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, Jeramy, and Aelita.
in the real world by, possessing people, animals, or things powered by electricity.
(this can become more complicated in later seasons) However in Lyoko, he "activates" a tower and has monsters Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi fight.
Although mainly in the first season, the animation can be clunky, and voice acting a little off.
even Lyoko feels "lived in", the show doesn't over complicate the plot for each episode and really lets the environment soak in.
second, I really believe the relationship of the five friends, sure they are archetypes (like the smart character has glasses).
However the way each character works off each other, feels like friend groups I had when I was there age.
Also the romantic relationship between Ulrich and Yumi is all over the place, but still feels true to the age of the characters.
it is just freaking adorable at times, but is smartly played for laughs (which is how most adults remember middle school love)And thirdly, Each character is layered and feels real, also matching their age.
I find it incredibly believable that the cool, well liked,and athletically confident character would react this way.
Id say if your looking for a plot heavy, constantly on your toes show with perfect episodes/animation.
From then onward these kids spend all their time defending the world from this virus(Xana), protecting their cyber friend Aelita and going to school.The main attraction of this show in my opinion is the adolescent love triangles and relationships between the main characters.This is all that happens in season one but season two is definitely much better than the first due to better rendering and texturing of the virtual world, the introduction of vehicles on Lyoko and story changes like Aelita being brought into the real world.
I have seen the first 52 of the episodes so I know quite a lot about Code Lyoko.
(episode 52)On Lyoko the,forgive me if i cant spell it right, scipazoa steals all Aelita's memory.
The series also gets interesting in the real context (school) in which it shows the difficulties of the students of Kadic in their personal lives, the loving rolls between Yumi and Ulrich, the vice of Jeremy by Lyoko and the attitude of the brass band Odd and even in more advanced seasons we can see some drama with William's replacement by a virtualization program created by Jeremy.
I hope one day Code Lyoko comes back strong I still believe in the potential of animation!.
In the first season, the 3D animation looked like a puppet, but in season 2 the show corrected its mistakes.
