One I had never expected to be so awesome!
I was so overwhelmed by how smart this series was. It quickly became one of my favourite TV-series, because of the multi-dimensional characters and the imaginative world built upon this computer operating system and the internet. Since ReBoot was the first fully computer animated TV-series I think it is genius to make build the world like that.What I mean by never expecting it to be so awesome was my ambivalent feelings toward CGI, because I despise when hand-drawn movie frachises transition into such. And at times ReBoot does make these unnecessary close-ups on faces which gets tiring. But that's the only thing worth noting.
And MAN I love Tony Jay as Megabyte! He is one of my favorite television voices, and this is his best perforance along with Disney's Frollo. Intense, merciless and tyrannical just as Jay does it best. And Hexadecimal is also delightfully over-the-top evil and will probably scare younger viewers more than once with her masked design.
Some of these storlines are among some of the best TV I have ever seen, and how unpredictable it can be really makes it engaging. These characters are so likable that you care about everything that happens to them. And to underline my point, I once in a while simply forgot they were animated because of those brilliant performances.
We really need ReBoot to be revived properly, because like many TV-series we ended on that cursed cliffhanger. But ReBoot is awesome, just in case you didn't notice ;)
score 9/10
