So it's been a long time, but I finally decided to put together (what is probably) our final "Thank You" picture.
I just wanna say I'm so very grateful for all the support everyone has shared with us. I want to thank everyone who volunteered to make this team what it is. When I first created this blog, I was uncertain if anyone would help. I wasn't even sure if I could sub the series, but I was determined to try.
I gained an outpouring of followers and volunteers. French fans who were willing to type up the entire French dialogue of the series and double check each other as well as help with any translation questions and proofreading. Native English speakers who knew French as a second language who were willing to help translate. And people with skills at subtitling and video editing who were willing to help secure raws, create and edit the sub files, attach the soft subs or render the hard subs into the episodes, and who uploaded the episodes once complete.
With a team assembled, we were ready to go forward. We subtitled the trailer first. This was our first success, and one of many that would follow over the course of time. We put hours and hours of hard work and dedication into this project. When we first started, one of my goals was to do this so that these episodes would always be available to Code Lyoko fans, even long into the future. I saw the end result - the Code Lyoko Evolution episodes all subbed and available to fans from all over the world. But I never expected that looking back, it would be the journey itself of which I am the most proud and the most fond.
Over the course of the past year, I made many new friends and solidified many existing friendships through this team. And I know that other team members can say the same thing. I evolved from a fan only having a foundation in French to a fan who is now, thanks to Code Lyoko, pursuing a French to English translation career.
This was a huge community effort, and it was us, the fans, who made this possible. Fans from all different backgrounds, nationalities, native languages, cultures, but nevertheless, all fans of Code Lyoko.
Whether or not we will see Code Lyoko revived again in the future is of the least importance. The greatest thing is that this show will always live with us for all of us fans who moved forward in our lives together, holding Code Lyoko dear to our hearts.
