Yes, in hindsight you can tell how French it is

Ayy lmao

I watched it in passing, didn't really follow the plot. Is it worth going through or would I be wasting my time?

It takes a while to really go anywhere lots of filler throw away episodes

I only watched it because there was nothing else, I hated the Vegeta level foreheads

I still know the whole theme song. It's quite embarrassing.

Not really. It's mostly school drama, will they or won't they stuff, and monster of the day.
The only interesting part is how the supercomputer is always trying to kill children

It takes a while to get going but when it does it gets good IMO.

>All those reused CGI scenes

Literally Mango tier

...

Theme song is godly.

It's unironically one of my favorite cartoons.

It was such a cool show back when I was in middle school. I use to write and read a shit ton of fanfics of this show.

There's not enouph porn of this show though.

I recognize that image...
What's that custom text doing there though?
>There's not enouph porn of this show though.
Ditto, we really need a lot more Yumi

Not custom text dude. It came from Incognitymous' comic he did a while back.

Its on sad panda for sure.

I recognize the comic (it's the short one with around 5 pages, right?), I probably don't remember that part of text.

yeah.
Yumi fucks her little brother

Yeah, that's the one. Man, I wish Incognitymous did more Code Lyoko stuff.
What's your favorite stuff by him? For me, it's that set of Iron Man: Armored Adventures images he did.

>you will never watch the final season for the fist time ever again

Why is that so bad? Is the final season really that good? Can you elaborate on why you love it so much?

best episode

Yeah. Did'nt notice the Frenchness until much later, although the foreheads bothered me even as a kid.

The first season is mostly monster of the week stuff, with the plot progression kicking in around the season finale

Best animation and the least reused animations in the show, plus actually character development and some concluding to the series

Interesting enough, the French script was specifically written to be easily translated into English.

>The only interesting part is how the supercomputer is always trying to kill children

Not even just that. Every time the computer tries to kill them, they also have to reset time so no one directly involved remembers anything. And it's nearly always by the skin of their teeth when time resets. Any second later is someone would been dead.

That's not garbage, but you could find a lot of better things to watch.
I watched it only because when it was airing in France, there weren't anime anymore on tv and I didn't have internet.
I still like Yumi, though.

What the fuck.

If Yumi's the best then who's the worst of the kids?

>Yumi
>the best

>not remembering the "squirt goopy goo all over my face" episode

This. I don't usually like calling episodes filler because people tend to misuse the term, but Code Lyoko has way too many episodes that boil down to

>go to school
>issue arises
>XANA attacks
>XANA is defeated
>return to the past optional
>issue is resolved

without moving forward any of the plot with Franz Hopper or XANA's servers.

Meh, it had it's own charm sometimes. Sometimes it was a bit cringe to me for how 'lol school dramaz' it was.

Well, I'm not going to see that episode the same way again.

Binging it right now, almost done with season 2. It's not too shabby, but god dammit does it have some flaws.

Remember the pilot?

Remember how Od was going to be the Main Character and solo the fuck out of Xana?

I don't even know how to react to that...

>that episode where Jim got fired and suddenly became bro material
>went above and beyond trying to protect the kids
>almost died before the reset
Truly best boy.

>almost

>reminder that Jeremie literally made his waifu real
>reminder Jeremie and Aelita didn't succumb to the relationship drama bullshit the others did
Best boy. Best couple.

>720x576
Is that from an eng dub rip? I'm stuck with 480p web dl.

they are one of the best couples in cartoons hands down, no relationship bullshit

>Reminder that XANA created best crackships

>no relationship bullshit
Xanas Kiss somewhat disagrees with both of you. They got mad at each other in that episode.

fuck sake one of those was obviously directed at ;_;

>Best boy. Best couple.

Objective fact.

I'd say it's worth a watch.

With that said, season 1 is largely pointless (though it does have some great XANA attacks), as it was written to be aired in any order before the network realized the story had potential. Season 2 and on weave a pretty fun struggle as the kids constantly uncover secrets about the supercomputer, XANA, and their creator, while having a pretty down to earth feel with the social life of the kids.

Obviously, the artstyle is not for everything. You'll either enjoy it, or cringe at the obviously "wannabe anime" look, which the first season made no attempt to hide when it used things like chibis and sweatdrops in a few episodes.

Avoid the 5th season, at least the live-action parts. The CG bits are really nice and it shows how much the team improved in the years since they started out.

>There's not enouph porn of this show though.

I'd be fine with just more lewd stuff, but I agree that it should have had more stuff overall.

I tried to do a rewatch and I stopped a few eps into season 2

It has WAY too much filler

Yes. Still mad it got cancelled then brought back in a shittier useless form like Xiaolin Showdown did.
So many good episodes, so much wasted potential. C'est la vie, right?

Most of us couldn't because CN pulled the show around the last 12 or episodes. I recall the last one that aired was the one with the airforce pilot cousin or some shit.

okay so one episode and to be fair it was the first time Xana managed to clone a human so there was no reason for them not to jump to obvious conclusions

plus the drama ended at the end of the episode and also in an adorable way

That reminds me, someone needs to reup the audio clip on vocaroo, it expired a while back.

>5th season
wut. There's only 4 seasons. Unless you count that 2 part Xana origin thingie as a seperate season.

How much shit did these kids go through? They got choked out, knocked out, I can't remember all the ways cause it's been so long but it was crazy shit

Not sure but they reference all the shit they went through several times in the later episodes. Probably.

>when you heard code Lyoko was coming back

>when you heard it was life action

>That one episode where XANA destroys the foundations of the school somehow and the entire building sinks into the dirt
>Jim gets trapped in a locker during the event and almost suffocates to death before the reset.

>That other episode where XANA finds a way to turn off gravity and it ends with everyone and their parents almost flying into the vastness of space

Some of these episodes had top tier nightmare fuel.

You mean Ulrich, right? He was originally mute.

Man this show was the shit when i was a kid i should rewatch it

>they never added him back into the group
>but he became a bro for the remaining seasons
>one episode even has all of the kids wind up liking him because of his disco tape
>winds up making a meme within the universe
>always saves the kids from whatever XANA attack is happening

Jim /ourguy/ Morales.

>XANA wound up having sexual tension with literally everyone on the show

Why was she so thirsty?

They might not have had the same issues like Yumi and Ulrich weren't always going through, but they had their share of bullshit throughout the show's run.

There were quite a few times he'd ignore things she was interested in, and at least three times tried to practically control her life as though she were meant to have no say in the matter. It's only a good thing Aelita had her own will and wasn't the typical "blank slate" personality who couldn't put her own foot down when she had bullshit piled on her lap by her love interest.

>that episode where Xana chokes them to death with the predator alien and Sissy is just crying and watching on in horror

youtube.com/watch?v=T-pz7GCmQvQ

Nope, they made a 5th season. And it was mostly in live-action.

JUST LIKE THE REBOOT OF REBOOT THAT'S GOING TO HAVE LIVE PEOPLE WHO GO INTO MAINFRAME!

>tfw when someone reposts your OC

There's a really nice quality de-interlaced DVD remux out there (filename in pic) it took me ages to download and it's fucking massive, but it's worth it for the quality bump.

Yeah, but that was Xana deliberately meddling. Fucking Ulrich and Yumi don't need Xana's interference to be drama queens who don't know what the hell they want. But I guess that did make them quite realistically written teenagers.

>that episode where Jeremie tried to boost his intellect so he could better counteract XANA
>Nearly becomes a vegetable as his brain collapses from the strain of the boosting

>that episode where Yumi and Jeremy are in an ambulance at the bottom of a river and Jeremy is desperately trying to tell Ulrich how to do a return to the past before the water rises too much and they drown

But user Xana is just a cute shota

>TFW every next season Xana was more "human"

It never quite became fully human, but it was interesting to see how XANA got craftier with each season to rile up or just outright attempt to kill the kids.

Shit would probably make the Pillar Men envious of the convoluted schemes it cooked up.

didn't he try to call in a fucking orbital strike once from a military satellite?

XANA wanted those kids fucking dead, man

there was this literally extremely autistic (real autism, not Sup Forums autism) girl named Libby in my school that loved this show. one time she printed out like 2000 images of the pink haired one and threw them all over the school. she also beat the shit out of a kid with his own pizza at lunch once. pretty neat

>Goddamn croissant sucking Frenchies! Eat laser.

One thing I noticed were the characters. They weren't very likable. Sissy was supposed to be the alpha bitch but it seemed more like they were being cunts to her for no real reason.

Evolution is apparently a sequel Dunno if I'd call that a real season, but YMMV.

>remux
You wouldn't happen to have a folder or magnet for that?

>she also beat the shit out of a kid with his own pizza at lunch once.

How does one beat somebody with a pizza? Are we talking just smearing their face in it? Or was there something more creative?

I too would like to know how someone weaponizes pizza

Beating off somebody with pizza is possible dough a bit messy.

>that episode where Xana possesses thousands of rats to eat them alive

I got it from KAT, which is now RIPing in pieces, but you might find it elsewhere with the name. It's much, much too big for me to upload for direct download anywhere on my shoddy internet. Each episode is around 1.2gb.

I think he was whistling (which autists go berserk at) and she broke away from her caretaker and ran up and grabbed his lunch and pounded him in the head with it for like 10 seconds before someone pried her away. Never doubt the tard strength, that kid was shaken up too, you could tell he was afraid for his life. Deserved it though for provoking her I suppose

I pray that you're aware of the double-entendre you just made there.

That's hardly a deserved reaction. Why are such people even bothered by whistling? Unless the kid was tone deaf, it shouldn't bother even a near braiddead kid in a wheelchair.

Yeah I remember that. Hence why a lot of people didn't like Jeremie which lead to a bunch of Odd/Aelita shipping and other typical fandom skullduggery.

for some reason they drowned/suffocated pretty frequently

youtube.com/watch?v=h5GrCV-uyvo

end of the episode Ulric has flat out lost consciousness from drowning and is just sinking limply

>KAT
It still hurts ;_;

Fuck, stuff like this makes me wish I had kept my BTN account alive. /t/ has a cartoon thread going currently, maybe I'll get lucky there.

>the episode where XANA created a zombie virus by inhabiting a fucking dog

Mind you, nobody got ate, but I wouldn't put it passed XANA if it had brushed up on zombie movie behavior. It might have even been able to play the kids into more of the movie tropes they were enacting.

Mate you know that real autists are like barely functioning creatures right? Autism doesn't just mean you're slightly socially retarded like Sup Forums would have you believe. The kid was making loud and grating noises and she freaked out because of it.

there is a spectrum of autism dude

To be fair, they got along pretty damn well compared to everyone else. Hell, they only ever once got on each other's backs, and it was over something really dumb that both got over quickly enough.

Still, I was more into the idea of Odd hooking up with Sissi after she and him sexted in that one episode.

Yeah, but people think social unawareness is the extent of that spectrum and have never seen a real full blown low functioning autistic person. They are vastly different extremes, and "the spectrum" may as well just be a meme.

Autism isn't the same thing as mental retardation, brohaim.

Some people are functional enough that you don't even know they have it.

Well I mean it was a natural reaction from the shippers to latch her on to the next possible boy.

I do agree. I always preferred J/A and O/S.

>That episode where XANA infected people with laughing gas, that started out being played for laughs, but then ended with the characters wheezing like chain smokers on the brink of death.

Stuff like this is why i'll never forget this show, in spite of it's problems.

It was pretty educational how they even explained the science behind the gas. I don't think most cartoons even bother with that shit and just say "It makes you laugh" and nothing else.

It's pretty fucking obvious user was talking about a severely autistic person from his first post:

>literally extremely autistic (real autism, not Sup Forums autism)
Lean to read.

One of these days I should find a few artists and commission some stuff like this, who doesn't love the idea of the girls getting boosted assets from a malfunction in the computer?

>that episode where Xana cooks them alive
