Miss Kirkland, a pleasure to post on this thread. You're great as Yumi, keep up the good work! :) Now, as with your two colleagues, I humbly ask three questions:

1) Which of the episodes you've recorded so far is your favorite?
2) Yumi's brother Hiroki...what is he here for? I only ask because he was never in Season One, and I'm wondering why he'd turn up now.
3) In your opinion, why do Ulrich and Yumi refrain from forming a relationship when the two of them obviously like each other and know it?

Farewell, I must be off! :evillaugh:

You're welcome, although most of the memories I have of Yumi are visual... then again, one of my strongest memories is both vocal and visual: from "The Trap" where Yumi is frantically looking for Odd and Jeremy in the smoke-filled control room and shouting "Odd! Jeremy! Where ARE you?"

That, along with the hug between Jeremy and Yumi when they found each other shortly afterward, is my second-greatest memory of Yumi. My greatest memory of her, however, is purely visual: in "Killer Music" when the ambulance has left with the comatose Odd accompanied by Ulrich and Jeremy, and the Principal has walked away, Yumi stands alone and looks on as the wind blows her hair, and is then seen from an overhead "shot" (it would have been a shot if it was a photo and not a drawing...) as a moving cloud casts a shadow over her...

Everyone talks about how much better the new artwork is than Season One's, but I have yet to see artwork anywhere near as moving as that scene, or the scene where Ulrich walked in the corridor looking for his room in "Amnesia".

As for the new season and stuff, all I can say is I've got my fingers crossed and I've got Yumi's fingers crossed, because we only got to kiss Ulrich ONCE and that was definitely not enough. What do you think?
Personally, I want there to be enough seasons for our kids (Yumi and Ulrich's) to come to Lyoko with us... And specials and prequels and video games and talking action figures... and... and... a Code Lyoko Revolution of Friendship and Bravery throughout the world!!!!!


hey there, mirabelle, barbara here. I must say I never knew you were as frustated as I was that Ulrich and Yumi don't kiss more often! Let's talk to the writers! this is of course all in jeest just to welcomje you finally to the site!
see ya monday, barb

Well, then I guess I would start by picking you up off the ground... then I would harass you with questions about your favorite moments and personal insights into the show!

So... in order:

1) I have to admit I loved being in Odd's body... bt it was also fun in season 1 having an evil twin.
2) I have no idea what Hiroki is there for, except that he is very cute and puts some nice detail into Yumi's family.
3) I'm afraid I could be cynical and say that the reason for Yumi and Ulrich's hesitation is just plain suspense building on the part of the writers... but more romatically... I supppose it is realistic for these two somewhat deep teenagers to have a little trouble admitting to their feelings. Yumi is also probably used to hiding her more feminine emotional side in order to fit in with her gang... and maybe her strength and independance are a little bit intimidating for Ulrich. Loads of reasons that we can all relate to, huh?

Sorry to butt in here, but it's Barbara with the baby! And last I saw her (the baby) she was doing great.

Thanks for the compliment... I agree with you that Yumi is really cool. What is it about her that you identify with the most?

I'm not exactly sure, but sometimes I find myself thinking, 'What would Yumi do in my shoes?' Of course, half the time I don't do what she would do because I'm a naturally shy person, but it's still fun to wonder. Also, I'm a bit of a tomboy :) .

Well, I guess you have that in common with Yumi... If not shy, she's definitely reserved... and definitely wants to be "one of the guys". But I think she is also very womanly in the way she observes and takes care of the others. She has a way of hiding her emotions so they dont get in the way of what's going on, which is pretty cool, but the problem is, since she hides what she's feeling, things don't necessarily go her way (I mean like as in ULRICH!)

Should had read this the day it was posted, lol.

Btw, just to let Mirabelle know, the first CL characther I've seen was Yumi at Routine... then, afte the episode ended, for some weird reason I ended up at TvTome, and there comes another story which I wouldn't trade for nothing in the world.

Uhm . . my theory on that is that it's an animation mistake that they couldn't fix. Just listen to what's said. The line is clearly meant for Ulrich, not Yumi.

Unless the voice actors tell us something different that's probably what happened.

Welcome to the board mirabelle. It's very interesting to get this behind the seen look at . . er . . read of things. Especially the multiple voices comments.

We've figured it out since then. The error was one of "detection" the person writing the lines on the band that we follow to get the lines synch with the image. Because the bottom part of the face was hidden by the band, the director (not to mention US) didn't notice that the line that was written "Ulrich" was actually Yumi onscreen. It was just one of those things that slipped through the gap...

Hello Ms. Kirkland! ^_^

I have a question about "Cold War"...who did the voice of TV's camerawoman? It sounds like it might have been you or Sharon Mann, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm just curious because I really liked the giggle she made at TV's silly snow hat. :)
