The characters were all living inside a computer. At first the series is simply about Bob, a Guardian from the outside computing universe, who protects the citizens when the user uploads and plays a game: when this happens, a section of the city is sealed off and everyone inside changes to game characters. If the user wins, everyone in the affected area effectively dies, so Bob tries to prevent this from happening. There's lots of game references and cute humor. Bob is assisted by his girlfriend Dot Matrix and her younger brother Enzo, who hero-worships Bob.(There is a heirarchy of life forms. Nulls are the most basic. Binomes look like walking numbers. Sprites look like 3d humanoid figures. All the major characters are sprites, or viiruses).That's the first season. Then things take a hard left turn and second season and beyond, the series gets progressively darker and more violent as it moves to appeal to older kids and teens; most of the rest of the series never gets shown in the US. Instead of episodic shows, the series moves to more overarching plots and references older episodes. Bob gets sucked out into the Net, and Enzo (upgraded to Guardian status himself) and his girlfriend go after him. They both grow up in the hostile, violent 'outside world' where they constantly have to battle games and Net creatures. They finally make their way back to the city of Mainframe. Season One was on VHS and is out of print. Season Two was never released on any media I'm aware of. Season Three was released on DVD; those have gone out of print and sometimes sell for over $100 a pop. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Reboot-Daemon-Rising-Two-Bobs/dp/B0001LJCSY/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_k2a_2_txt/002-0742383-5304054?ie=UTF8" target="_blank">Season Four, comprised of two movies, is in print</a>.</blockquote>
