I don't think it's surprising that the fandom is still alive. The show was too awesome ;) But 2 other reasons why the fandom is still alive are: nostalgic feelings and the show is very unknown. That makes it very special. It feels like you're part of a special club with just a few members. That is why the fandom is still alive i think.

Code Lyoko was my childhood. I actually knew the show was French when watching it as a kid. I could tell it was dubbed and there are small indicators that it takes places in France. The kids always had croissants on their plates, some of the character's last names, when they zoomed out on maps it started in France, and the opening theme has a whole bunch of French names listed. It had a pretty solid dub, though. I'm actually rather sad that Moonscoop went under.

[@ladybugamks]

Also, the factory was based on an actual factory in real life - Renault, I believe, somewhere on the Seine River in France. I can't remember how i first found out about that, but when Google Maps became a thing, I'd look it up from time to time bc it blew my mind that it actually existed! After a couple years, I think I recall reading an article that they were knocking down the factory, so that was sad.

[@niar1726]

As a french person, Code Lyoko evolution, was a continuation to the series, but still very bad, the live action really hurt the show, as the french actor, while ressembling the character (for the most part), didn't really know how to ... well, act. The casting was more centered around "Is the actor close enough to the character", than "Can the actor act ?"

Code Lyoko is a interesting case for me. It went from at one point being my favorite show, to me completely forgetting it existed beyond vague memories of the show from my childhood memory. The show certainly had a uniqueness I have never seen before or since and a shame it can never come back.

As a French person it’s really hard for me to accept the argument of the dubbing... All of the movies in the cinema, all of the shows on TV are dubbed in French from English. It has always been like that and it has never stopped us from watching English speaking programs. Our translator and dubbers manage to do an amazing job to syncronize the mouth to the voice as much as they can. Why is it such a problem for English speakers? (Also Code Lyoko évolution was really bad so I don’t mind about the opinion about the show 😂)

I feel like people who aren’t really into anime’s complain about improper mouth/language problems but that’s probably me assuming. If a show is well written and compelling enough I don’t care what language it’s written in I’m going to love it. Bring on the subs! Only thing I get embarrassed about is finding out the translation got a little screwy and it was supposed to say one thing and got translated to something else though I guess that’s the price we have to pay for translating to English. (And by that I mean the original vs a dubbed version where complete sentences are changed for some reason)

[@thechaosduo8291]

it's bad for English speakers like me cus the translators will A miss translate something or B change it so it can be "kid friendly"

[@davidburke4101]

Well, your translators and dubbers do an amazing job at synchronizing as much as they can. Our dubbers just find a sentence that lasts as long as what the character is saying and ship it while also completely butchering the translation, tone of voice, and emotion.

"they travel back in time with no risk" Uh actually they later learn X.A.N.A gets stronger with every Return to the past, and they say that "in the future we'll need to be more careful and use the return to the past sparingly, otherwise XANA will get more powerful" Also you referred to X.A.N.A as a she, when its a AI, and the Lyoko Warriors refer to X.A.N.A as a "he" mostly, and "it" sparingly. "the show was VERY formulaic" - season 1 was mostly deactivate tower, return to start of episode. Season 2 onwards had the mystery of Aelita, Franz and then the replikators. No real formula there with plenty of twists. Especially with William.

ThePreciseClimber it did but the thing was, I think after season 2 where XANA went onto the network and started utilising other super computers, it essentially didn't matter. I think it'd increase its power on the main super computer but since that's only one of many it had more power on, the effect of the increased power isn't as detrimental.

As a kid, my parents wouldn't let me watch this show due to it being around my bedtime. But now,I just finished the series on Netflix and the little child in me and I cried once we finished it. I never knew I needed the closure of finishing this show but now I need more!

"When lip sync doesn't align with live action it can be frustrating to watch" non-english speakers who had to watch most hollywood movies dubbed: lol what

[@PokemonkaDub]

Oh it's so funny when Americans have an issue with lip-synch in dubs because they are SO used to having everything that is not anime oryginating in English and everything outside of their vision of perfection is just BDLY DONE or A MYSTAKE. I really sometimes feel that USA thinks they are the only place on Earth that should exist outside beeing a turist atraction. Like when something shakes their perception of beeing the center of the world it is automaticly badly done or something.

[@TheArcSet]

Thanks for the reaction. To be honest, I think the 1st season hit that perfect sweet spot where the identical plot, with wildly varied stories, actually caused tension, because while we all know that the kids won't die, we also know that they are going to come within a hairs breath of dying in just a few minutes. It's a difficulty balance, but if any series had the creativity and variety to pull that off, it's this show.

[@MiniLinlin]

This show is made of the amazing chemistry the characters have. I didn't watch this as a kid, the 3D animation of the 1st season was so off-putting that I never gave it a chance but I ended up watching it like 2 years ago out of curiosity. Sometimes the episodes were formulaic but as the episodes advanced, it was nice to see how XANA would actually win sometimes. And I cannot stress this enough: character relationships were the thing I enjoyed the most in this series, they felt very natural and I felt as if I knew these kids irl or something. The romance between Yumi and Ulrich is the only thing that kinda starts dragging as time goes on, but I really love the friendship the Lyoko Warrios have. It's the reason I feel as if I really had some nostalgia attached to the series even though technically I don't. I feel as if I've known these kids for years.

(Sorry, english its not my first languaje). I rememeber they wrote 4 books of Code Lyoko that takes place after they defeat XANA. BUT, it also takes place in an alternate timeline whit a few different elements (example: the "back to the past" doesnt exist). The books try to explain a bit more about the origin of Lyoko, the men in black and who they work with, what happened to Aelita's mother... I personally like it. You can check them if you want to

[@kayosplash]

This is the best show I've ever come across as a child and an adult. Growing up, I feel like this show was underappreciated simply because the art style (the big heads). Ive been a code lyoko nerd for so many years. I doubt i will ever let go of this show.

I get your point about the time travel making it seem like there's not a lot at stake at times, but it's really worth noting that it isn't like it can save the day no matter what. Like if someone dies, unless they have something they can do outside of the time travel, THE TIME TRAVEL CAN'T SAVE THAT PERSON. so no, I would not say that the time-travel mechanic removes the idea of stakes in the show.

[@MrEmanuele99]

I'm Italian and I bought the books referenced in the video (at 6:14) as they came out here for something like 17€ each. While still being books for children and teens, I found them to be really great. They are the actual follow-up to the series, unraveling all the mysteries left unsolved, introducing new characters and villains and giving a proper end to the story. The only complaint I have with the book series is how William is basically left out of the plot, but that's nitpicky. I hope that an English translation can turn up online, 'cause it's a real shame that much of the fanbase can't experience the actual finale for the series

One of the few kids' series that has an actual conclusion. I was hooked on it! But honestly I would have loved to hear a bit of recap of Code Lyoko instead of complaining about dubs. I still remember watching the original Smurfs dubbed to Finnish while hearing the original Polish voices slightly after our dub... good times 😂

[@ladrok97]

What...? Why it was dubbed after Polish version?? It wasn't Polish cartoon after all

[@thesleepyreader]

1:27 Nope, i knew things would get better and no one would die but it was still a small heart attack every time. I would literally run into the other room until things got fixed

[@mattruiz4428]

1:28 well, until season two that is. At a point in that season they realize returning to the past makes XANA stronger so they try to avoid it as much as possible. Also the whole "time travel" thing isn't like how you make it sound. When XANA attacks, they go to Lyoko to deactivate the tower, then launch a return to the past, which just brings them back to the beginning of the episode (usually just earlier that day). Everything is exactly the same except XANA doesn't attack and the four heroes remember the jump in time, while no one else does (yes there is a reason for this).

[@EverythingMoe]

Oh how I love and miss this show, the absolute pinnacle of my childhood

[@SpellboundWolf]

This show is fantastic, but the writers seemed to give up on Aelita after she's brought back to reality, out of the computer. They made her stupid. Aelita CONSTANTLY is making basic mistakes only a toddler would. It's as if she can't learn from any negative experience & belongs in an assisted living facility for her own safety. The main villain Xana & his minions are always able to trick her & the other teens always have to save her from killing herself or jeopardizing their entire operation. Aelita doesn't even know how to use her own powers/gear. There is a moment in which she's about to fall into the void & Odd has to use 1 of his projectiles to hit the flight band on her wrist in order to save her. Aelita's hands weren't bound. She wasn't unconscious or intoxicated. The writers seem to either hate her or, as I said before, gave up on her.

[@tankhanhduong7190]

not mention the art quality, everything in Code Lyoko was surprisingly reasonable!!! if you notice, in the last episode, when Jeremy and Aelita ran the anti Xana program and it ran from the CORE. i thought it would appear from the interface where Aelita activated the program but NO! because Jeremy said that the core is where every program from supercomputer can be through and ran in the virtual world. that surprised me

[@ladrok97]

Yeah. This is why we in Poland love lecotr (off-screen reader) that read every sentence without emotions and in background you hear original voices (it makes you easy to understand who is talking and what is he/she saying), but we have one of best dubbs in the world, when we dubb childs shows (and is reason why dubbing in normal movies sounds too childlish in Poland)

[@ZeranZeran]

This show was such a huge deal to me as a kid. I felt like it was so much more.. futuristic than any other show on cable tv at the time. It was so ahead of its time, both in the cgi scenes (which are almost a staple in today's kids shows, or just 100% cgi and lazy..) and the story was pretty great too! If I recall correctly, one of the episodes involves the evil computer shutting down / messing with the power grid and causing trains, traffic signs, etc. to malfunction in a way that would cause harm. It was really creepy, and I loved it.

[@elementalheroutopiaray1118]

My most favorite show of all time and code lyoko evolution killed the franchise.

aw man this show was my entire life, i remember knowing the theme song in three separate languages, what a beautiful time... but i gotta say im fascinated that americans didn't know where their shows were from, idk if its a usa thing, but me and my european friends always more or less knew, bc the process of being in the fandom in the 2000's involved googling *literally everything* abt a show, downloading EVERYTHING and following all major fansites regardless of language : D french fandom was The Place to Be ((also there was a pretty massive CL fandom on youtube in the 2000's and it was An Entire Thing, half the ppl in it deactivated/changed accounts since then, but i still have my old one somewhere.... i remember....))

Code Lyoko ended with XANA final and complete defeat wasn't a need another season after that.

[@GumSkyloard]

Well, it only ended on Season 4 because the team behind CL was rushed to make Season 4 the last one. The show would still continue as normal past season 4, and S5 would develop William's character more, as both a person, and as XANA's prisioner, since season 4 would not be the one where they kill XANA.

[@aloisssssss]

@@GumSkyloard Maybe but they did end it in order to not have any new episodes (I say that because of an interview.) so Evolution shouldn't have exist.
