Review of Code Lyoko

Code Lyoko (2003–2007)
Cool Show
28 August 2004
Warning: Spoilers
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". The 2D characters are drawn interestingly, with many sections unrealistically expanded. The 3D versions are brilliantly made, and are on the level of such video games as the early "Delta Force" titles.

I would rate the graphics as 6 out of 10 because of minor problems.

PLOT:

The plot is similar to such movies as "The Matrix". It deals with virtual worlds. However, the handling of the plot is superbly done.

The plot is rated 10 out of 10.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT:

This is the worst part of the show. The characters either change spontaneously or not at all. For example, one of the characters has been the same since episode 1. 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.
