It's time to remind people of Reboot, one of the greatest shows of the 90's
It was the first cgi tv show. It is Canadian. :)
It took place inside a computer, like Tron. Unlike Tron, it combined playing games with a slice of life experience....at least at first. It's main character was Black Blue, and while a dork, was a big damn hero.
The main heroine was a supergenius that was also a great capitalist.
The kid was a stereotype that changed drastically while the series progressed. I will put the story of Enzo Matrix up against any story. it's a fantastic tale of growing up hard and dealing with the consequences.
The main villain was both a absolute bad ass, very intelligent and competent, while still being an amoral being.
The main female villain was the single most powerful being in it's universe, and was a horribly broken being, to the point where she used masks for a face.
It had a ton of female characters that were big damn heroes , while not defaulting to the "girl" archetype.
It's animation is dated but the storytelling, once it got started, was second to none.
It also might have been the series that launch the use of pop culture as part of the story.
If there is one obscure series that needs to be watched, to both see where we came from and as a model for trying something different, this is the one.
