Code Lyoko (Animated Show)

In my humble opinion, this was a very underrated animated series that really shaped my love for anime during the early 2000s and it was called Code Lyoko. Code Lyoko came out in 2003 and lasted until 2007 completing four seasons and nearly had 100 episodes.

Code Lyoko was created by Thomas Romain and Tania Palumbo and it follows a group of teenagers who travel to a virtual world called Lyoko to wage war against an artificial intelligence known as X.A.N.A., who threatens the Earth with his ability to access the real world and cause havoc for our heroes to stop.

The plot follows Jeremy Belpois, a young prodigy attending a boarding school at Kadic Academy, discovers a quantum supercomputer in an abandoned factory near his school. Upon activating it, he meets an AI girl named Aelita trapped inside of it. He also wakens an evil AI X.A.N.A. who is trying to eliminate anyone who is aware of the supercomputer's existence so it can be free to conquer Earth and destroy all humanity.

Jeremy and Aelita are then joined by Odd Della Robbia, Ulrich Stern, Yumi Ishiyama and the later on in the series by William Dunbar and together they are the Lyoko Warriors.

One of the things I learned about the series was that it was originally created from Romain when he made a short film called Les enfants font leur cinema which is french for The children make their movies. Fun fact, this film was produced by a group of students from the Gobelins School of the Image.

This led to Romain and Palumbo being offered an opportunity to turn the short film into a series which led to them creating Code Lyoko. Actually it was called the Garbage Kids.

What made me enjoy this series so much was the different animations used throughout. Like how I love the animation for the real world and when they enter into Lyoko, they look completely different. I was really impressed with their efforts they put into that.

The opening theme to the show is another fun reason as to why I love the show. The song was called A World Without Danger which was sung by Noam Kaniel and I must say, I love the song and still listen to it this very day.

I also enjoyed seeing how they always go back in time at the end of each episode but always remember what they did in it too unlike the other characters who forget.

Just writing this blog makes me want to go back and watch the show again. Like I mentioned earlier, this was an underrated series. 

Heck! I didn't know that they had sequel series that had 26 episodes but sadly, the company MoonScoop had filed for bankruptcy.

But overall, I really enjoyed the series!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

Image
 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

The 2005 Lewistown Panthers Football Team!

Image
 I recently completed reading my story for Hometown Sports Magazine about the 2005 Lewistown Panthers football team who finally ended a thirty years of losing seasons. In this blog, I wanted to talk about why I wanted to write about this team and how I feel the lessons that were learned about them throughout the year can still be used today.  One of the biggest reasons as to why I wanted to write about this team was because of how much of team these guys were both on and off the field. These guys have played the game of football together for a number of years and it clearly showed. Plus being a youngster, I really didn't know the history of Lewistown Panthers football. I only remember going to games because I remember my cousins playing on the team. But talking about the football team in general, to put it nicely, there wasn't a lot of success. In fact when I started this journey of writing this story, I discovered that Lewistown didn't have a winning season for thirty year...
