I had no idea. Thanks.First season is a little bit dated. Second season ramps up as well as you may remember. Third season is still awesome. As is Daemon Rising (the first four episodes of season 4).
It's free on Shout Factory's website. Just watch it. Buy it if you like it enough to want a physical copy.

This was never going to work for the original fan base. It's a weird little moment in time, polished through the lens of nostalgia, and its original raison d'etre,to use advanced CG to animate a story about computers, is hokey now, and CG is trivial and expected.
So maybe it will work for the new audience.
Saying that ReBoot was only about the novelty of the CGI is doing a disservice to the unique designs and solid writing of the original.
I always liked how Mike the TV turned into a televangelist after being infected by Daemon.Anyone who didn't like the original Reboot should be forced to have Mike the TV with them for a week.
But is it ReBoot?So this came out last night.
I'm about four episodes in... and it's getting... better.
The trailer was made up entirely of the pilot episode which was really fucking horrible. But the show is starting to find its legs as it progresses.
Megabyte's design sucks (the OG one is there for a split second before the hacker "upgrades" him), but his voice is pretty spot on. It kind of drops in and out of a really good impression of the original actor, but as the series progresses it gets much more stable and recognizable.
Likewise everything with the hacker guy is pretty bad (although megabyte hates him and it's a pretty hilarious meta commentary as you kind of sympathize with megabyte in his discomptemt), but the rest has started to grow on me.
VERA starts out pretty cringy in the first episode to becoming basically Janet from The Good Place, and she offers some really good comic relief.
The kid actors are a bit stiff, but it is a kids show.
There are plenty of connnections and references to the original show too, so it's neat when they show up.
It's Power Rangers meets Degrassi with a hint of Tron, and enough OG reboot to make it watchable.
Don't let the trailer and the first two episodes break you, it gets better.... I was ready to write this off entirely.
I checked netflix and then I remembered that ytv has exclusivity here. Only interested in seeing the episode with Bob, Dot and Enzo.
How does a Canadian show get broadcast AFTER the rest of the world gets in on Netflix?I checked netflix and then I remembered that ytv has exclusivity here. Only interested in seeing the episode with Bob, Dot and Enzo.

The show was apparently made super-cheap using Rainmaker and YTV's money, with an "If you build it, they will come" mentality towards getting the show sold to someone in the States (because nobody except YTV was willing to bite on ReBoot sight-unseen, in any form).
I've only just started the first episode and I'm cringing already at the character introductions.
"A fabric of cyberspace" what the fuck is that even supposed to mean? The writing is as bad as the CG.
That picture is hilariousFirst two episodes are ROUGH.
I'm just starting on episode 10 now. This is the episode with bob and co, and also the finale.
Episode 9 has this... horrible plotline

The hacker, known as "the sourceror" (spelling intentional?) is the worst part of this show by far.

It feels like a combo of Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad and thatThe premise of this show reminded me of Code Lyoko. I mean going into the internet and fighting "monsters". If you don't know what Code Lyoko is your too young for me.
The season finale is the best episode of the show by far. Followed closely by the episode where Vera experiments with emotions.
This. LOLWas my thought. This is really Code Lyoko's premise down to the girl in the machine.
Thanks.Ep 9/10 I believe. Haven't gotten there yet but I'm hoping that means they ... reboot the show for season 2 with more of the classic characters.
Interesting. Was going to have to watch it anyway so this is good to hear, also that you thought they did Vera well since that role has usually been some of the most fun to watch in similar shows.Yeah. Megabyte is oddly the best part about this. Direct connection to the past and he is going against everything "new" in this show. On purpose.
The guardian kids are fine, but megabyte is consistently awesome, and the voice actor does a great impression. There's only a couple times it feels off but it's very minimal.
Once you get passed the first two episodes it gets better with each episode. And VERA is the best part of the live action portion of the show, even though I hated her in episode 1.
Just in here to say this thread reminded me of Shadow Raiders (which I think had the same character designer as ReBoot?)
