Preston Ward Condra Watches Code Lyoko

by Preston Ward Condra

I binge watch through the entire series of Code Lyoko. Aside from seeing 1-2 episodes, I'm going in completely blind to this series. It's a show, I would never see anyone say anything good or bad about at all. I'm confused to as to whether or not, it's an anime or a cartoon. Cartoon Network never even aired the finale back in 2007. A smorgasbord of a project. Let's do this.

26. Episode 25: Code: Earth

Episode 25 - Code: Earth

Yumi in her undies. Sorry but, that's how the episode is literally showcasing to me as I'm starting to watch it.

No way a cartoon/anime in 2023 gets away with something like this, even if it was subtle, non-nudity, quick or shown for just a brief second.

Jeremy is having a dream and wants to meet Aelita - once and for all in person - and in the real world.

Cut to Yumi's household. Yumi's dad gorges on a whole bowl of ramen. I did not need to see that.

Again, this anime was made in France - not in Japan. A rare out of boundary line when making an anime.

Jeremy calls for an EMERGENCY MEETING.

Aelita will finally come to the real world.

Jeremy tells her to go to the forest domain to be materialized as a download that will take her to the real world, after class is over with.

Jeremy is slipping on his intelligence.

He's not too bright in public.

The four of them sneak out of class and head to the factory to go to Lyoko.

Jeremy begins the process and he mistakenly brought over the wrong CD. Oh my god. Really?

The gym teacher chases after Jeremy for ditching school and is tired of his little charade.

They chase and chase.

Jeremy stumbles down the stairs and breaks his ankle. Cripes.

Ulrich: He's been gone for 45 minutes.

Nurse office scene.

Jeremy: Can I go to the bathroom?

School Nurse: No! I'll get you a basin.

Jeremy finally shows Jim, the gym teacher, what Lyoko is and where the hideout is.

Aelita deactivates the tower.

Jeremy has Aelita input the Code: Earth instead of Lyoko as it normally is.

Aelita is finally brought the real world.

Finally. Thank God.

The episode concludes.

Overall Rating: 6.8/10 - It was predictable belong belief. They even show a scene during the whole ordeal of Jeremy picking up the wrong CD. Despite those setbacks, I will admit it's nice to finally see Aelita in the real world. That storyline is finally over. Now only one episode left to go before the end of Season 1.
