the foreheads aren't big enough

I wish they'd kept the animation and skipped the live action..

The entire budget went into the cgi

Odd looks too young, and why is Ulrich TALLER than Yumi??

Aelita's pink hair always looked cute in 2D. In live action, I didn't expect it to look so punk 😂

Me: I've never seen evolution before, I wonder why everyone hates it so much. One minute in: Oh, that's why

The only thing going through my head is: What is wrong with Odd?

Seeing that this show ends on a cliffhanger, (as well as few other differences) I like to think of Evolution as it’s own alternate universe rather than a continuation of the OG series. That’s what I think at least

I'm not the biggest fan of Evolution but it's a very nice surprise to see anything new uploaded to the official channel I 100% thought the last AMV would be the last video ever uploaded, glad to see I'm wrong

Aelita looks like Stephanie from lazy town

Asking the creators what were they thinking when making it live action: *"I'd rather not talk about it."*

The live action stuff looks kinda rough but the 3d animation is beautiful holy shit

Cartoons should just never be brought to life

I find it really cute that the actors of Yumi and Ulrich are a couple IRL.

Not a big fan of Evolution but I'm just so happy this Channel is still active! Code lyoko forever ❤

So I’ve watched the first episode of Evolution and here’s my honest review: We all know most things are good live action. However, most of the actors fit the look! That is very hard to do! The only problem for me here was Odd and Aelita. Odd has blond hair, but his personality matched with that of the cartoon version. As for Aelita, it must have been hard enough to find someone that looks good in short pink hair. The fact that there’s some sort of resemblance to the cartoon is impressive on its own. The setting in itself is the best part. Since the school and the factory are real (France), the viewers can genuinely see how the cartoon’s setting comes to life. As for the animation, it’s really good! I’m no animator, but to see the 3D aspect IMPROVE is a big accomplishment. Code Lyoko was one of the first TV shows to used 3D animation and to see it getting better and better from the first season makes it all worth it. Now here are my main problems: First and foremost being the factory itself. In the cartoon, the viewers saw the rustic look of the floors in the factory. However, the scanners and the computer lab itself looked and felt like a lie. I felt as if the keyboard was too advanced when in the cartoon it was simple like a regular keyboard. If I were the set designer, I would put a more blocky keyboard. The scanners and the animation for the scanners are hard to animate in the real world, and I think that was the main problem that set most people off. And I’m talking about when the scanners close. It feels off, and it set me off too. Second, the writing for the main plot just wasn’t enough for the viewer. For me, I wanted a logical reason as to why XANA could ever come back. A virus in their bodies? Not the most logical. If the writers added something that included some effects of being virtualized on Lyoko, I’m sure it would have made the plot seem a lot more full. The writers should have made the characters more skeptical about XANA returning; OR they should have given a better reason than “A red glow when they were scanned”. It creates a plot hole. The cartoon never showed any signs of red glows unless the super calculator was on the brink. As a result, this episode felt rushed, which made everyone both confused and upset by the result. The end of the episode is a great example. “The Lyoko Warriors are back!” With little to no space for any mood setting before the credits showed up. And lastly (one of the most important things) MUSIC. I hate to say it but music is everything in a show or movie. Without it, people don’t get any emotional appeal. When we all watched the cartoon, we loved the opening, we loved the William Battle Scenes, we loved all of the little cues at each point in the episode. When we don’t have those iconic music composition to complement the plot, we feel displaced. The music should have felt like an evolved form of the cartoon, whether it had the same key signature or used similar instruments. It put us in a weird spot because it’s the music that we remember the most because it’s directly linked to the animations and plot. Wow that was long so if you’re reading this, sorry. And also welcome to the Code Lyoko world 👋👋👋

This is more cringy than I remember.

I can't believe that they didn't used the original theme song to this

at least Aelita is aware that she has wings now.

5:02 Did anyone else realize that Odd was passing Ulrich a Gamecube controller?

Aelita: Takes down William solo Aelita in Evolution: "I NEED HELP WITH 2 CRABS!"

Ep 1 Review: This episode was not bad but it could've been a lot better. The first missed opportunity was to not show how living without lyoko has impacted their lives. Instead we are rushed through without leaving room for character development and the super computer is back like nothing happened. All in all this episode is super rushed Final Score: 5/10 A weak premiere.

Odd looks 12, while the rest look like they're in their 20s.

You gotta admit, the live action set really nailed both the exterior and the interior of the factory. They look exactly the same as the cartoon, but with more texture.

Why did they make this sequel? Crew: We'd rather not talk about it!

You know what? It may not be the best, some obvious cringy scenes in the series, but at least it's something I can watch that involves the crew again. Love it.

I don’t think i can prepare myself enough for this...Code Lyoko is one of my fave animated shows....I have concern >_> EDIT: Admittedly it isn’t as bad as expected so far. The live action segments just feel very weird.

Aye, you guys are uploading evolution now? That’s neat

This episode was meh. Good to see them act somewhat like their cartoon counterparts but I gotta point out some things. • The tower being black and not white is weird. I can’t get use to that at all haha. • Megatanks not making their laser more like the original was a bit disappointing but at least they power is the same. 100 LP damage. • Yumi’s Overwing just isn't it. The actress not even yelling when yumi throws her fans had me like 😅. • Aelita not doing her famous flip in the tower is the ultimate disrespect 😂😂💀.

I feel like what's special about Lyoko is missing here: the camaraderie and humor between characters. "Now we're grown up, let's be serious." They even cut the lyrics from the theme song.

why does Odd look like he's 10 years old omg

the towers were round not square

Yum and Ulrich are together irl and have kids that's like the greatest to come out of this show! The actors look happy with each other its so cute!

Time to begin my journey into watching Evolution. Here we go.

For anyone who did not notice, the animated mouths are speaking English. Now with the official English subtitles you can see how the shapes and the words match PERFECTLY.

I’ll give the creators credit for wanting to revive the series, sadly as they say “lightning doesn’t strike twice.”

Came here to say that its been 8 years and the actors Quentin (Ulrich) and Melanie (Yumi) are still together and had a kid recently! There's an interview where they talk about hiding their relationship early on during shooting but Diego (William) found out accidentally. He barged into Melanie's room to wake her up one day and found the 2 of them naked in her bed. Then he proceeded to sit down and chat with them like it wasn't strange at all 😂 If only the characters were aged up so they could have made this canon in the show

Biggest surprise will always be Megatanks & Krabs In Sector 5😂

I’m glad to see old shows like this on KZfaq. Man....cartoons going live action. I’ve never watched before, so here goes...

Never expected to see the sequel series officially uploaded here. Cool.

I don't think I've ever seen this in higher quality, I'm used to the ones that were taken from TV

At least this show has the 3D animation for the virtual world. Also it feels more like an AU of the show rather then the continuation. It’s too bad they can’t create a another Code Lyoko series ever since Moonscoop went defunct a few years ago.

I'm not even a fan of evolution as with others. However it's SOMETHING code lyoko for me to hold on to! I hope a revival is possible in the future. That's all

It's so awesome that you're posting these with English subs on KZfaq! Thank you!

Most of the decisions made in the production of Evolution are undeniably questionable but man.... they NAILED Jim!

Honestly, this would be a lot easier to digest (as a hardcore Code Lyoko fan) if they didn't deviate from the original aesthetic so much. For me, one of the best aspects of Code Lyoko was that it mixed artificiality with organic design so well. - The sectors, while mostly plain and empty, resembled real world ecosystems. The towers were covered in what seemed like moss or tree roots at the bottom. XANA's monsters felt organic. The arm of a tarantula looked like it was woven out of the same muscles as ours. They're snouts covered in bone-like material. Megatanks, solid and dark on the outside. But flesh-colored strands reside inside them. A glimpse of which we catch when they prepare to attack. Crabs have freckles and spots on their shells, and softer, lighter, more vulnerable spots underneath. They felt like real creatures that could have existed on this Earth long ago. They felt like real creatures, recreated by an artificial being who's only contact with real creatures was through a quick Google search. The result is an amalgamation of organic structures, naturally reoccurring patterns, and cold metal appendages, added to weaponize them into mindless machines. - I'll never forget episode 36, "Marabounta". When i heard the screeches of XANA's monsters, that felt so real, yet sounded so robotic, i couldn't help but feel something. It hurt. To see them devoured by the same thing that threatened to consume Aelita only seconds ago. And yet, they kept fighting to protect Aelita. Of course, not out of the kindness of XANA's heart, it was for his own gain, but still. It showed that XANA could be reasonable when the situation called for it. He recognized the bigger threat, and stood alongside his enemies. - Back then, even the Lyoko warriors' outfits felt organic. Because they were personal to each character. The first outfits (seasons 1-3) didn't even feel like part of the same group. They felt amateur, even somewhat childish, fitting for then inexperienced warriors. But it's what gave them their charm. It showcased their culture, their past, their interests, things they like. - The second outfits (seasons 3-4) felt more unified, more mature. They've been in the business of ass-whoopin' XANA for a while now. And they've been in it together throughout. This is reflected through shared motifs across all four members' attire. More clear, one-toned surfaces, divided by clean lines. Subtler, more concise color palettes. It does give the outfits a more plain, artificial feel. But still varied enough between each member to keep it interesting. - They tried to re-create this feel for Evolution, but ultimately went too far. For Ulrich and Yumi, they stayed pretty close to their predecessors, but simplified them even more. For Aelita, they muddied her color palette with too many grey tones. As for Odd, they exaggerated his colors, teetering on the edge of eyesore. They overused his yellow accent color, turning it into more of a secondary color in his new scheme. All of the outfits feel same-y and oversimplified, yet cluttered with shapes and lines. Now everything feels so cold. - Of course this is just my opinion. And... WOW. This turned into a whole-ass analysis, sorry about that. I've been bottling these frustrations regarding Evolution for years now, and once i removed the lid, everything spilled out. I have more thoughts regarding this, but it's getting late. - I just want to say, i'm not hating on the creators, actors or anyone who worked on Evolution. I can see that a lot of work went into creating it, and i appreciate it immensely. As a fan who thought they would never get to see anything new created relating to Code Lyoko, i'm thrilled to see that a fandom still lives for this show. And that our passion was enough to spark the making of a 5th season for a show that has ended 5 years prior. Thank you to anyone who read through all of this, it means a lot.

thank you so much for uploading this!!! looking forward to the rest

Didn't think you'd ever post Evolutions thanks for this

The emotiions are gone, Jeremy just said "odd, Aelita, theres an activated tower in lyoko 😪" just horrible. The Lyoko dimensión is better, and characters too, but real life characters is not good

The good thing about evolution is that the 3d animation has been improved however probably most people hated the live action segments.

There's so many issues Evolution has that keeps it anywhere near the quality of the cartoon series but I can't say I hate it. The Lyoko scenes are a definite upgrade and I felt the actors/actresses for the most part are doing a fairly well job. (The actress who plays Yumi is beautiful!)

Oh yay these are being uploaded officially now! I actually sort of liked evolution but was sad at the ending knowing it wasnt going to continue.

YOU'RE UPLOADING EVOLUTION?! WITH ENGLISH SUBS?! I love you guys so much.

18:01 Aelita : job done time to deactivate the tower- Crabs : u thought

thanks for posting this. i love Code Lyoko

Thank you for uploading this. Now i can finally watch this :)

I would very much like to buy the rights of code Lyoko so I can fix * circle hand gesture * all of this.

*drops everything I'm doing to watch this*

The hair of aelita and odd🤦

It’s so crazy that I still expected Odd to sound like his American actor 😭😭 that voice is very specific

Well damn, this is definitely a treat. I didn’t exactly expect to ever see the series uploaded.

I honestly love the actors and actress who play Lyoko Warriors

Not sure what to think yet but I can grow to like this. I loved this show when I was younger as a cartoon and now a live action version? Thanks for uploading and can't wait for more to see where it goes.

Kinda wish they would have just kept the real world parts 2d animated

Put this entire show in the “ Ignore and never speak of again pile” next to dragon ball evolution and Avatar the Last Airbender the movie

Hm, as a recent Code Lyoko fan, I must say that I'm intrigued at this live action version. Sure, they did their best all things considering to translate the cartoon world into the live action world (with them even going as far as to recreate the factory, recreating the supercomputer and the equipment, and even keeping Aelita's pink, fluffy hair), but I'll admit that while perhaps they're not the best casting choice, I think the cast themselves did a pretty decent job on playing as their respective characters. With that being said, I do love how they used 3d animation for the Lyoko battle scenes. Not only is it faithful to the original series, but they've even upgraded the animation as well. I'll admit that I am a bit taken back at how they actually have pupils, but I think I'll gradually accept it as one of the many cute changes that I'll get used to (just like with Alita's eyes in the Alita Battle Angel movie). While a part of me agrees that Code Lyoko was something that didn't need a sequel, the fact that they went ahead and made it anyways actually makes me happy as a fan, and even though I have my doubts about the live action sequel, I'll still watch it anyways just because of how much I loved the original show. Plus, so far it seems alright, with a decent plot and explanation to tell us how their mortal enemy has returned. From what I heard and seen, though, I think Sissi went through some unnecessary changes or might've stayed the same, which is a shame, considering how the original version had her charm. I do hope that she'll be given some long-awaited character development, and would eventually join the Lyoko Warriors into their lives.

I never thought this channel will be active right when I'm binge-watching in 2019! (recently re-discovered Code Lyoko after .. 5 years?) 😭💗

YES! I couldn't wait for evolution to be uploaded here! :)

I find it curious that the actors that play Ulrich and Yumi are a couple IRL and they have a child

IF THEY COULD AFFORD THE SETS, MAKEUP ARTIST, COSTUME DIRECTORS, SPECAIL EFFECTS, THE NEW BEAUTIFUL 3D ANIMATION, ETC. then they could've done 2d animation. I really do think 2d would have helped the show internationally and would have gotten the old CL fans into evolution as well

Why is there a solid 5 year age gap between the actor for Odd and everyone else in this show. Fr Odd is played by a 11 year old meanwhile Yumi is played by a fully grown woman.

Thx, 😊 I miss Code Lyoko Evolutions.

It’s really sweet that the two that played Ulrich and Yumi here became a couple in real life 😊

I'M SHOOK- YOU GUYS ARE STILL ACTIVE??! :DD

IMA FANNN JUST GOT DONE WATCHING CODE LYOKO 😫🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💕

I was doing search on youtube for best quality to CLE. And i guess i found a special channel Already do it!! THANKS FOR UPLAODING THE VIDEO🥰.!

You know what, after skimming through a few other episodes, Evolution is alright as its own thing. Its mainly the fact that you have to go in remembering its a continuation of a beloved cartoon that makes it feel off. But due to some lore inconsistencies im hearing of and the existence of the chronicles novels already concluding lyoko before evolution ever came out, i consider evolution non-canon anyway. So i just see it as a harmless, kinda fun side thing

WHAT?? AFTER ALL THESE YEARS??? THANK YOU AHHHH

I appreciate the attempt to keep it alive. I just really needs work

THANK YOU!

It's kind of ironic that only after a while teo sectors disappeared whereas when it was cold for 10 years, every sector was there.

I really want more code lyoko. this series was pretty darn good.

I ❤ this soooooooo much, this will probably be like my 5th time watching evolution. Currently I’m on Netflix watching the original for the second time.

Woah, new upload!

Everyone: Thanks for uploading :)) Me: STOP PLEASE 😭

I just got into this season after finishing the final episode of Season 4 (the nostalgia made me cry like a little bitch for a few seconds). I'm gonna be honest, this might not hit the same for me, but I'm grateful that we have something for the amazing show that is Code Lyoko.

Glad to see this channel isn't dead

OMG AN UPLOAD!

The one thing I got to this day... HOW THE HECK IS THE FACTORY REAL!

I wish they kept the same clothing.

THIS CHANNEL IS ALIVE YESSS

Evolution still gives me hope. Code Lyoko isn't dead

This show ended perfect with Season 4, I LOVE code lyoko. Not a fan of EVOLUTION, it was so perfectly concluded why did they make this.

I- AM SCREAMINGGG

Did not expect this, but I'm not complaining!

I know that Evolution isn't that great by comparison :P but i do appreciate the upload and sub, many of them are scattered. So ty for uploading and hope to see the rest.

At least Jim is the most accurate from the animation.

21:37 Say it! You have to say it Aelita!!! Say tower deactivated!!! 😂

They’re supposed to be in the same class yet Stern has chest hair and Della Robia looks prepubescent

seeing you guys upload again was like finding more fries at the bottom of the bag
