Code Lyoko: First Season [DVD]

To some, the world of Lyoko is a pathetic excuse for a tv show. I strongly believe that these people have only seen mere fragments of episodes, only resulting in judgement such as "this show is weird."I remember the first day I ever saw this show on tv. I remember thinking "this show has got to be stupid." After watching for about 10 minutes, I was exposed to the virtual world that this array of strange characters had entered via a supercomputer. Since that day, I have been engulfed in the series, thus creating a hardcore Lyoko fan.The first season has been released for some time now, but just got my paws on it today. I'm awaiting the complete second season, and hope it comes out in the near future. If not, I'll be severely discouraged. The seasons following the first have much more superiority and speed, but lack the originality and simplicity of the original's episodes.I read another review that stated the episodes were out of order. I thought this was inaccurate because the first season had no order until the episode "Code: Earth" was presented, only due to the fact that there was a connecting episode, "False Start."As the Code Lyoko series evolves, it unfolds into more confusion for some, but more curiosity and interest for others. The episodes begin to connect as a whole, forming a situated storyline that keeps the viewers begging for more.Hoping for season two on DVD. Long live Lyoko! (P.S. Odd rules!)

I love Code Lyoko and am very thrilled that Season 1 is finally coming out on DVD!However... The entire DVD is in Japanese. States the Product Details. "Language: Japanese"All the other DVD's Vol 1 - Vol 3 are in both in English and Japanese. Is it a mistake or not? I love the show but I don't think I'll enjoy it as much listening to Odd, Ulrich, Yumi, Jeremie and Aelita speaking Japanese the entire time for 26 episodes.

Code lyoko is an interesting show, and although they don't quite get the voices right in season 1, in the most recent episodes the voices are lip-synced and really match the characters well. In code lyoko the 5 main characters; Jeremy, Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, and a later entering character who starts out as more of a sub-character Aleita. The 4 kids, not including Aleita for now, stumble upon the supercomputer that contains lyoko, but in this supercomputer's AI program a virus called ZANA has begun to dominate. Zana is a AI program, but his impressive insight into basic human emotions such as jelousy, and hate, make for real trouble, but his "attacks" on earth are usually more basic towards the start. Zana is able to control electronic devices and make "ghosts", which to the best of my knoweldge are eletromagnetic manefestations of his own mal-intent, these ghosts can take over people, but this doesn't start happening until later. The 4 characters first find this super computer, along with scanners enabling the 4 kids to virtualize into Lyoko, inside an abandoned factory near their bording school. Inside the computer a digital "paradise" callde LYOKO exists. Within Lyoko there are 4 main towers, and numorus towers that zana temporarily creates. These towers allow Zana to link to the real world. He gaurds these towers with monsters, and the 5 characters have to fight against these monesters. Lyoko is a rather pretty place, in the show the characters are rendered in a sort of 3D computer-animated hybrid, and are geared with weapons to fight the monsters that Zana creates (if they take to many hits they devirtualize, and end up back in the strange factory). In Lyoko there are five sectors; the mountain sector, the forest sector, the arctic sector, the desert sector, and Zana's home base sector 5, or Carthage. If the characters fall of of the land area of these sectors they will end up in the "Digital Sea" and dezirtualize permanatly and will not return to earth. Zana constantly faces them with new problems and challanges while they try to virtualize Alita who is trapped on Lyoko. Overall a good show i rated 4 out of 5 because the episodes are out of order, and this 1st season does not include the first episode.

Episodes are out of order, there are no language or subtitle options.If you must have everything Code Lyoko, go ahead. If you are a casual fan or insist on perfection, don't bother.

I was so nervous buying something used but I'm so glad I did!! This is one of my absolute fav shows! Thanks so much!!!

This is what i'd been waiting for. Most of the time I don't like buying simply volumes of a series, when a complete season could just have been released. But when this was announced, I was hooked. I watched all the episodes, although they were not all in order, and it was great. I definitely recomend this to others.
