Now they would need to (please oh please oh please) cut back on the romance hiccups for Yumi and Ulrich, but between updates to the setting changing X.A.N.A attacks and expanding what they did before where they couldn't before I'd be all for it.

Alas I think the company that made it, Moonscoop, is not quite around anymore. Might be hard to get off the ground compared to a reboot of most TV series so key to major networks. Not sure who owns it, but they have all the episodes on Youtube via an official channel.

Code Lyoko was a French animated series that was dubbed into English, surprisingly enough by the same who made it in France, that aired on the Miguzi Block on Cartoon Network in the 2000's. Miguzi was kind of the younger brother to Toonami, where Dragon Ball and Naruto reigned supreme, showing a mixture of similar shows and distinct ones. Several shows aired on it were also originally from France. Of them, I would argue that Code Lyoko was their Dragon Ball Z. The big hitting, hype program.
Code Lyoko is about a group of school children at a French Boarding School who discovered a super computer in an abandoned factory. Inside the super computer is an entire virtual world where a being named Aelita lives, as well as the malevolent A.I X.A.N.A, who can use the supercomputer's power to attack the real world. X.A.N.A can take over machines, control and enhance inanimate objects, possess living creatures, and most disturbingly of all, learns from its mistakes.
The show's about the cast getting Aelita out of the super computer and destroying X.A.N.A, with the benefit of the super computer's most powerful ability, the ability to rewind time after stopping X.A.N.A and repeating the time that X.A.N.A acted in to better things for themselves and others.
The show's first season is episodic due to executive mandates in France, but after that it becomes rather serialized for the next three. Season 2 is generally seen as the best season, and Season 3 is considered the weakest season. The show got great reviews, but it eventually ran into the problem of a Executive at CN not liking it for some reason, so its last bit of Season 4 got yanked and shaken up on the block and the online video service for some reason. Still had a ending, though as said above with several lingering plot threads. The people who worked on it are still around and you can find them in some places. It's why Nino over in Miraculous Ladybug wears a shirt with the eye of X.A.N.A on it, for example.
The show had two different continuity continuations, though I am not sure how much either had the original writers involved in them. The first swapped out the animation and CGI blend for live action and CGI, is called Code Lyoko Evolution. This got good ratings, but was never dubbed into English and was so expensive to do that it is why Moonscoop went kappot. The other were a series of 11 novels available in 11 languages officially, but not English.
A new reboot or continuation, ideally back in animated form, and without the romantic drama I swear is obligatory in French series for some reason, would be nice.
The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
