It seems like just yesterday I was turning on the TV and tuning into Jetix, ready to watch my virtual reality heroes battle XANA. Finally, after more than a decade, I decide to watch this again with low expectations... Man... what a great show. Let's see, let's go in parts:
GRAPHICALLY IT AGED BADLY, I KNOW Most notably, the animation and art style may be uncomfortable for anyone watching the show today, especially the first season, it's completely normal. However, taking into account the time in which it was created and its country of origin, I can understand it. I mean, back then that's what CGI cartoons looked like. It's Moonscoop, not Pixar. In addition, I highlight the fact that the animation improves considerably as the seasons go by.
ENDEARING CHARACTERS Perhaps what I liked most about the series. You like the characters in a short time and it is easy to empathize with them when they are having a hard time, even the typical bullies know how to win your affection when they show a better side of themselves (I love you Sissi). Kids are human, they have their successes and mistakes. The only thing that might bother you is that the whole gang is a jealous bunch.
THE BACKSTORY The most surprising thing when rewatching this show was finding myself surprised that this told you a more or less linear story from the second season onwards. I don't want to go into too many details due to spoilers, but the whole mystery behind the secret project that gave rise to the supercomputer is intriguing and the past of certain characters makes it even more interesting.
MOMENTS OF AUTHENTIC TENSION Due to the animation, the battles can be a bit archaic. But the surprising thing is that despite this shortcoming, the show is able to create truly edge-of-your-seat moments.
SOUNDTRACK This is very personal, but I loved the soundtrack. The opening is a great song, the XANA theme is full of intrigue, the techno used in the battles is pleasant, the tension tracks make you feel the terror of the moment and the sweet moments feel emotional.
In short, recommended. A great series from the 2000s.
