Message: [QUOTE="Deleted member 7989, post: 220724, member: 7989"] I just went through Code Lyoko recently, it's a French anime-inspired cartoon about these kids that find a supercomputer in the basement of a factory, and have to enter this virtual world to fight a rogue virus that can infect their real world. I remember seeing it all the time as a kid, but it was slow and different to a lot of the other shows I watched so I'd switch the channel. Now that I've sat through it, it's pretty decent for a kids show, and it apparently has this cultural significance for being one of the first French cartoons that made it big overseas. It was inspired by shit like Serial Experiments Lain, and The Matrix. It has this mixture of 2D anime style animation for their real world, and 3D for the fight scenes in Lyoko, which is the computer world. Definitely the type of thing that could sell toys. Seems like it has a big cult following as well, Researching I found a fansite that logs everything there is to know about the show, and even has a section that talks about news, which the most recent post in that was from November last year talking about the creators trying to find funding to continue the project. It was kinda held back by the company that they pitched it to, because when designing it, they wanted it to be heavily story centered, which the company was afraid might turn off viewers that haven't caught everything and started in the middle, so the entire first season was just on some Scooby Doo monster of the week shit. And nearing the final season, you can tell they were rushed to complete it since they got cancelled. So the story is a bit of a mess. There are books that finish up the story, and a Live Action reboot that changes some of the story bits, but nothing huge on actually finishing the story officially, which is why I think they want to continue it. The last episode deadass ends on them waving byebye to the viewers I shit you not. All in all, pretty cool show, definitely recommend it to people who like kids shows. [/QUOTE]
