Miraculous Ladybug

Nathanael is adorable...

Maybe it's my age, or the fact that I don't relate to the shrinking violet/introvert characters but I really can't seem to care about Nathanael. I liked his episode, and he has an awesome talent but he doesn't interest me anymore so than the other students in Adrien/Marinette's class.

It's the artist in me I guess

Who did that face? You?

That is the most likely scenario.

I did. X3

Nice work!

So after browsing international episode orders, I'm thinking that I might want to try whatever's the most common order—note that France, Brazil, and the United States have some especially uncommon early episode orderings. I can get a solid list of the first 13, maybe 18 episodes, but more countries will have to show the remaining episodes before I see any consensus on the rest, besides that "Volpina" goes at the end.

It actually really doesn't matter- I watched the US episodes long after they were aired and I'm pretty sure I watched them in an order that didn't match the US airings.

Evillustrator is actually a pretty sympathetic guy who never did anything wrong. I liked him.

Where a lot of Akuma have taken over their personalities, he's at first only interested in punishing Chloe. He has his own set of morals, and has a calm, rational debate with LB. And even when he does snap, it's for an understandable motive and you really do feel bad for the kid.

Speaking of sympathetic classmates, I do feel pity for Sabrina. I get the feeling she really does know how shit of a friend Chloe is, but seems so insecure about others she's willing to put up with the torment if it means having a relationship she's familiar with.

When I first watched that episode the Sabrina subplot was the part that stuck in my mind the most.

I was really surprised when I looked into the Ladybug fandom after the show finished, and saw the disproportionate ratio of people talking about Nathaniel compared to Sabrina.

This show is aimed at female and Nathanael is the cute little boy who crushes on our Escapist Character

That's...a good point, actually.

Even so, I want to give the poor girl a hug. Saying this as a male fan by the by. It stands to reason that most of the fanbase are girls, but a third do seem to have males as well, for similar reasons why audience-aimed shows attract an opposite group.

A girl-targeted show will feature many reasonably attractive girls with unique personalities and relationships, and boy-targeted shows tend to feature a cast of men/boys that involve a lot of male/male bonding.

Rogercop is also pretty cool. Didn't expect to see a Robocop parody of all things. And that's what, the fourth A Kuma that's formed from and desires to kill/punish Chloe specifically? I have a guilty pleasure for the Alpha Bitch character type, but she's indirectly caused a lot more harm than schoolyard teasing than is usual.

I'm still not over Gamer's Street Fighter references.

@darkabomination

Are you currently watching the show for the first time? If so we'll need to remember to spoiler things. This thread is a bit lax ever since the finale.

That whole episode was a true love letter to gamers who played stuff like Street Fighters and such. I loved that episode.

I like Sabrina and compared to all the time Chloe gets, I'm seriously disappointed by lack of focus on her. Evilustrator's subplot? Quick and effortless return to status qo. Dad get's akumatized? She barely gets a line. She's turned into Vanisher? It's a pretty weak villain who only gets half of episode.

Yeah, it's my first time. Unfortunately with my luck, I pretty much know all of the spoilers anyway. Well, outside of the origins two-parter since I managed to stay clear of that while I could.

Doesn't hurt my enjoyment much, knowing what's going to happen is part of the charm.

It's weird, when I think of the show, it's actually hard to point out why it's worth watching. Everything it does are things you've seen a dozen times before in superhero/mg shows. It doesn't break much ground and relies on a lot of older cliches, not that it has to be for it to be good.

MLB ultimately just seems to pull it all off with enthusiasm and a love for both genres that's contagious. I guess it's so willing to indulge in the fun that I am too. Plus the very solid animation and particle effects (particularly for a tv cg series), and a great effort by the English cast, especially the leads who're some of my favorite voice actors.

Put that oh the review section, because that was literally perfect

^note  Cause the other videos about shows guy did were posted on their respective threads so why not

Funniest thing since the french YTP of the show.

... there's a french ytp?

That probably shouldn't be surprising.

I want to say the Bubbler's greatest crime was playing "Careless Whisper" without the saxophone, but then I'm the one who sings "Ridin' Dirty" to the show theme.
