Eh, I would have mentioned the eerie fanservice-like occasional scenes as something to beware for kids, but other than that, it's pretty much accurate on what to worry about or not.

Description could use a couple of minor detail fixes, but really it looks like they paid more attention than most other people who have ever taken notice of this show.

I like this, Warton. Though I must admit, CL has an extensive adult following.

[Phoenix Wolf offline]

Yep

[Carth]

But, it has a kiddy following too. And with kiddies, you get parents. Parents that wanna know their kiddies' every last move. =D

The show description is very general and presskit-y, but it tells what you want to know. Generally, good for parents.

Well they're off on the "Sexual Content" part, considering that there are about five episodes that show girls in thier underwear, and there are many girls at Kadic who wear quite skimpy clothing, not to mention the one episode with the vine going up Yumi's shirt...

then again, it could be very useful for someone who is trying to get thier parents to let them watch it.

All in all, I give it a 7/10 as far as reviews go

And with shows like CL, you get an amazing (and growing) fanbase! =D

Yeah what potter said.... Then again, is it really considered sexual? I mean it's not like it's done in bad taste. It's actually perfectly innocent, however I will admit the first time I saw it I was like O.O "well thats a first for a kid's show!"

[AmericanLyokoTeam offline]

I don't think France considers it that racy, if at all. They don't do the scenes we're calling fanservice for fanservice's sake, they figure you just see these scenes in real life, so who cares. You have to remember though, Americans are a bit more leery about sexual content than the rest of the world. It comes across as concerningly sexual content here, for a kids show at least.

I'd say its only PG even here, but the parrents should just have a heads up about it perhaps. Then again, a warning like that and they might never let their kids watch the show.

Yeah, we do have quite the older following for a kids show. A lot of us were taken in by the deeper overall story going on here rather than the daily action.

Jodi Forrest herself said that it all depends on a person's point of view on the matter.

I just love how you spam, and that a majority of all your posts are less then 6 words that don't contribute to the topic at all.

Sometimes 1 word (or symbol) is all you need.

This sort of reveiw is most likely written at the request of parents in the first place. Howevere the fact the review mentions Odd's future flash means it hasn't been updated in quite awhile. and why would you even need to mention the fact that it doesn't have alcohol I can't think of a single children show that contains the stuff

Code Lyoko
Digital enemy and parallel world give show flair. Or something like that.
2007 | TVY7 | 30 mins
Appropriate for Age <s>3+</s> 8+ yrs <INSERT>

What Parents Need To Know:

Parents need to know that the kids in this action cartoon series travel to a parallel universe called Lyoko to battle digital monsters controlled by an evil computer and DO NOT beat up random people on the street with laserbeams. Fight scenes are limited to the kids' visits to Lyoko and pillow-combat, but the computer creates super viruses that possess everyday objects and animals in the real world and make them do its bidding. (ZOMG INNUENDO!!11ONE) Although the adult role models are easily <s>thick as bricks</s> outsmarted by the main characters, the upside is the respectful friendship that allows the kids to be confident and self-sufficient. Especially when they mug old ladies.

Families can talk about the idea of fighting an enemy that can influence our lives by infiltrating what's around us. How can someone or something we can't even see pose a threat to our safety? Does the media and/or the Internet enable those who might want to hurt us? How can you protect yourself from this kind of threat? Is that guy wearing any clothes?

Sexual Content:
Multiplying little boys. (MORE INNUENDO!!11ONE)

Violence:
Puppy-kicking, slapping

Language:
<s>Spanish</s> None

Message:
SOCIAL BEHAVIOR
Teachers are sometimes tricked by kids, and totally not in a suggestive way.
COMMERCIALISM
Kids are attached to their cell phones. It gives the message that glue is bad. Which it <s>isn't</s> is.
IDIOCY
Many students seem to not indentify a cardboard box. Or any other item for that matter.
BADLY GRAMMAR
Baah!

ALCOHOL:
And lots of it.

'Common Sense' Review:

CODE LYOKO is the story of a foursome of random kids who, despite being incredibly stereotyped, rely on each other as they soldier through the process of <s>throwing</s> growing up. The twist to this <s>God-awful</s> timeless tale is that the foursome alone knows of the existence of XANA, an evil virus whose wish is to blow up the world. In a secret computer lab within their school, Jeremy, Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi battle XANA's 'efforts' with help from Aelita, a digital muffin who lives in a Lyokian trash can.

<s>Class Idiot</s> Genius Jeremy leads the foursome (How many times is this word coming up...?) as the <s>Trekkie</s> techie who can "virtualize" the others into Lyoko with the use of 'magic', where each has special powers. Ulrich relies on his zoominess, skill with a pointy stick of d00m, and ability to multiply. (Innuendo!!) Odd can see into the immediate future (which he totally doesn't abuse, or lose at some point- say, after the first season or two) and uses a laserbeam glove to ward off firepower and fangirls. Yumi's dependability rounds out the team, and her Japanese powers and fan make her a critical asset to distracting the enemie with her anti-racial rants.

<s>Baby goats</s> Kids will like the battles in Lyoko -- each plays out much like a video game (And if your children play games like these, screw you). The monsters' hits on the heroes deduct "life points" from them, and once they've run out, they are <s>killed</s> <s>tortured</s> "devirtualized" back into the computer lab. Jeremy can also travel back-and-forth in time with the use of a magical drawer to maintain the secrecy of the foursome's (*snicker*) efforts on Earth, but in very badly doing so, he strengthens XANA's powers. Strategy, teamwork and sandwiches are themes throughout the series.

Code Lyoko is a good choice for kids who love the idea of time, space travel and of course crazy people. For more fantasy action fun, try My Life As A Teenage Moron and Superman.

... I await the bricks to come crashing through my bedroom window. *has a habit of totally ruining these things*

Reading these makes me laugh like a ferret, since they seem so 'don't panic! :D' it's hilarious IMO.

[Carth]

It's all going around lawsuits. =D Say one thing wrong, and you could get sued. It's the way the world works.

Bricks, eh? You read the notes in the back of Azumanga Daioh 4, didyncha? "MEOWvelous!"

If you don't think I contribute to the topic take a look at rant I give some pretty good advice... And I am not trying to get anyone to look at anything I don't even have my own webpage...I just like quotes and my banners were made by a friend.. I think it is great that Code Lyoko has a big following, I also think that based on the statistics there should be more seasons to come. It teaches kids the value of team work and working together to unite to achieve a common goal and to succede.

[Taelia offline]

Maybe if more people watch, we could perhaps suspend the cancellation of the show.

As for Tekirai pointing out alcohol, I think the writers do cigarettes and pot, if anything. J/k.

I will say that having emailled Sophie Decroisette she's a very nice person...however, when I was in Paris I heard rumors that she has hair crazier than Odds!

Speaking of hair (and I may have mentioned this before), Tania Palumbo, the character designer and one of the original creators, dyes her hair pink!

lol, hmmmm.... Maybe we should make a thread in BKO to see how many people can warp that review... It should be worth at least a few luaghs.
