Code Lyoko
English release: Code Lyoko Literal: Code Lyoko
by Tania Palumbo and Thomas Romain
As you watch the first few episodes of this French nearly-anime cartoon (dubbed in
English), there’s a challenge in working out exactly what’s what in the group of
young friends at a boarding school where the resident genius (Jeremy Belpois) interacts
with a girl (Aelita) who's trapped in a virtual world which is terrorized by the evil
Xana. I suspect I may have missed a few episodes at the start (I started with
“Teddygozila”), but it seems that at the end of each successful adventure in the
virtual world, the supercomputer take the adventurers back in time to a point of their
choosing. It’s kind of cool that things aren’tfully explained, so I hope I don’t
later run into the origin episode!
Ready for a trip into the past, Yumi?
