It took me the first 3 or so episodes before i liked it. I remeber seeing the intro for the first time on tv. Yumi and Jeremy looked so silly in the season 1 intro it scared me. But over the first season i was drawn into watching every morning. Now i love code lyoko

I didn't really like it, but I saw that my lil' bro hated the thought of it and I quote, "I'd rather watch the grass grow!". I lied and said that I was interested and liked it just because I wanted to be different. I watch the First Episode and was hooked. What's funny though is that I have the DS game and he's constantly stealing it. Got to love the lil' squirt.

I start to like CL cos I was fascinated by the the music and Ulrich's cute face,ohh he's making me soft.......

I saw it when it first came out. I was 15 at the time, and I didn't like it at first because I thought their heads were too big, and the stroyline sucked. But then I saw my favorite character (Odd) and I started watching it more and more until I got hooked.

[SilverPrince offline]

Hmmm. As I recall, when I first saw "Code: Lyoko" on the TV guide, I ignored it. It didn't really interest me. But one day, there was nothing to watch, so I decided to take a look. I can't remember the episode, but I remember liking it. I didn't start regularly watching it until later, though, mid-season 1. By the season finale, I was thoroughly hooked. By then I was obsessed. I ate up season 2, I just loved it. (Wow. It seems like just yesterday that it was new.) By season 3 I wasn't obsessed, but I still really loved the show. Season 4, I loved the show still but I had other things, too... so I sorta stopped watching after episode 84.

Then somehow I got dragged back to this place again... but that's OK. And I still love Code Lyoko. I was probably 12-ish when it first started, and I'll be turning 16 in a few months. *sniffle, wipes a tear* Time flies...

I think I'm noticing a pattern with some people. Hooked by Season 1, ate up Season 2, 'meh' over Season 3, never finished Season 4. Ahahaha.

It's kinda the same way for me, too. Except I actually did finish S4.

[Lyoko Wario offline]

I used to hate CL.

Relax! It does get better.

I didn't like it for the entire first season. I thought it was weird. Then one day, during that "Wheel of Guz" thing they used to do on CN, I caught one of the episodes. It was the one where Yumi and Sissi are jealous over Ulrich, and then at one point he says to Yumi, "Tell me what I really mean to you" or something like that. I forget the name. Anyhoo, I was surprised at how good the show was, but I still didn't watch regularly until the second season, when I really became obsessive about the show and fell in love with it.

Right now, there's only one episode aired here that I've missed.

I missed most of seasons 3 and 4 Marching band/color guard practice... the bad thing is they don't have much on youtube and cartoon network only plays certain episodes.

[Lyokosui offline]

It took me about a year. From since I watched my first episode to watching it regularly. Season 2 was just starting and that added to it.

[Rho offline]

I don't recall seeing promos for it on CN much, but whenever I did, I thought it was an American cartoon (unlike many who think its anime)

When I'd see it in ads in Nintendo Power or at Carls Jr when they had that promo, I thought it looked weird. Then a friend at the time introduced me to an awesome song, and at the time I had a major interest in Kingdom Hearts, and I looked it up on Youtube with the keywords kingdom hearts along with the song title, and the only result was one that was a KH/CL music video, and the clips of CL really interested me, so I looked up some episodes and got especially interested.

Yeppp.

I was kind of surprised when I found out it was French.

[HiddenWatcher offline]

Season One only half-impressed me. Then Season 2 got better and I watched it on and off. Then, years later, I was lured back by the memory of a single line. I found some Code Lyoko fan fiction, and it was actually good enough that I took the time to find the episodes on the Internet and watch the whole show through again. And then I did it again. And for the third time.

While it may not be the best show out there, it is genuinely worth watching and shows off some amazing characterization.

[SearchingLyoko offline]

Okay... I also plan to post a slew of stuff (and read this) later... but I have no time now.

Until tomorrow... when I do...

I will tell you this:

One afternoon last August (2 years after CL went off the air here) I found an image of CL on the internet. I decided I should watch at least one episode so I could fully appreciate the image.

That night I was hooked.

Now... 2 months later... if you could see all I've been doing... all I have planned... you would gape in awe.

TO BE CONTINUED

[oddlauren offline]

The first one I saw was log book, but I didn't get hooked on it. The next one I saw was ghost channel, that's the one that got me hooked. It was so creepy but cool. Who was this girl talking on the computer to the guy? why were the people acting weird in the new world? why is it dangerous for Jeremie to go there? and I thought about log book, xana must be a bad guy or person. why else would the friends freak out about that guy (Ulrich) wrote about xana?

so I started watching it and got hooked. I either tivo'd it or made sure to catch it live. And I was disappointed when it stopped showing. Sucks they didn't play all of season 4 here.

I also didn't think S1 was that great. I felt like Aelita needed more lines.

[msaadn offline]

I had Only watched the Ending Theme. The CL tune impressed me. Thats where it all began, the next day I was ready in front of the TV to watch the Show. I watched the Arabic version, so the Ending theme was basically the opening tune with other vid clips of the show.

[SearchingLyoko offline]

I liked S1 for it's content... Very good with development of character profile and such... plus... it's CL for goodness sakes.

But... the last 2 episodes of S1 were definately the best... that part when Jeremy walked Aelita home... pure on-screen magic at least.

The background music is very in the mood of the show.

I'm going to top all of you here.

I'm going to tell you approximately the EXACT TIME I discovered Code Lyoko for real.

And that time was August 6, 2009 at 10:24 pm Eastern Standard Time.

And the rest.... is history.

[Dark William offline]

First of all, I really didn't knew that this thread already existed

Anyway, Well first thing, I thought umm okay good series.
Then I forgot it, (Like many other anime/cartoons)
SO I haven't seen much about the previous seasons, then I saw. the opening from S4
I saw a guy in black, looking awesome. Then I asked and started to search. I found out that it was William, and Remembered that I had seen him before.
And since this summer, ive watched the series twice.

[Sithking Zero offline]

I liked it about two months before Season Two came out. I haven't seen all of S1 yet, actually, which is kinda sad for me.

[SilverPrince offline]

Hmmm. I don't recall exactly; it was quite a while ago.

My God. It just dawned on me. It's been 5 years. 4 years? I dunno. Either way, it's been hella long. Wow.

Anyway, my memory is pretty foggy, but I don't think it took me too long to start liking it. I probably liked it right at first. But it wasn't until closer to the end of the 1st season that I remembered to watch it regularly.

Man. It's been so long since CL's even been on TV. I'm thinking back to the time when I was looking at previews for the 2nd season that showed glimpses of Sector 5 and being all excited. I'm all just.... wow.

[SearchingLyoko offline]

Well... dont' stop liking it or anything!

There is still so much to do!

My schedual should be... kind of back to normal next week... so the second I get accepted into BKO... I'm going to be really, really active in this community.
_____________________

And sithking... I suggest you order the S1 Dvd online (amazon)... Season 1 episodes may not have been the great when it comes to the grand plot... but they are awesome! It's a different experiance from the rest of the seasons, I'll say that... not too different... but still a bit different.

[Dark William offline]

I haven't seen S1, either
You could also look at megavideo or YT

[jym1 offline]

I had flipped passed CL a few times hen it was airing season 1, but I didn't like it because it was all the same. Every epiosde was XANA attack, battle in Lyoko, shut off the tower, RTTP now, the end. But when I saw the first or second episode of season 2, with the Hermatige I was so hooked! and later that week I joined the CL.com forums...and the rest is history

[SearchingLyoko offline]

Season One... was a teeny bit repetitive.. but it was still awesome all the same! I was hooked on it.

It's those little tiny differences that make the S1 episodes great... a funny joke here, a moment of suspense here... that one blush when Yumi tackles Ulrich to the ground... So touching...

Those are priceless moments!

The last 2 episodes of Season 1 were two of the best.

[Dark William offline]

Well, wandering what time it came then Xana
anyway, Last summer, this year
S4 came twice, from off MMonday till Saturday
Of course me happy. ever since this summer, I became a real fan of it. Cause i haven't seen the other seasons haha

..And CN passes ANOTHER chance to air Code Lyoko.
Come on. Would it kill them to air "Attack of the Zombies" and/or "Is Anybody Out There?"? It'd sure beat airings of Goosebumps and Othersiders. And in February, I'm doubting they'll air "St. Valentine's Day"


You know what? CN should just give the show up. They clearly don't care about it.
Have Nickelodeon get it or something. They might actually treat it with respect.
Besides, it'd help diversify their schedule from 100 airings of Spongebob and iCarly.
iCarly's great and some Spongebob is alright, but they need to tone down the airings.

And I mean regular Nick, not Nicktoons. It got good ratings on CN, so it might get even better ones on Nick. I just hope Moonscoop says "Hey, CN. Air our show or we'll take the rights away from you."

Disney.. Nah. It'd be out of place on Disney Channel and Disney would probably rarely air network premieres.
