The anime has gained attention even before release for its beautiful animation and music. Little is known at the moment, other than that 26 episodes are planned, and it has a whopping budget of ''US$11.2 million''.[[note]]This is an average of $460,000 per episode, which is four to five times the budget of an average anime episode and 1.5 times the budget of an average WesternAnimation episode.[[/note]] According to TheOtherWiki, Miraculous Ladybug wrapped up ''pre-''production this past April, and [[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-09-10/nickelodeon-schedules-miraculous-tales-of-ladybug-and-cat-noir-in-december/.92744 Anime News ]] says the series is expected to premiere in Sunday, Dec. 6, 2015 at 12:00 p.m. E.T in Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} in USA under the name of ''"Miraculous, Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir"'' .
Not to be confused with ''Lovely Ladybug'', which is a completely unrelated comic created by [[Main/{{Imageboards}} /co/]] users.
It should be noted that many examples on this page currently reference tropes and ideas that were presented in earlier versions or documentation of the show. Many of these tropes may have changed in the final production.
This show goes by many names all a variation on Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir.
-----
!!Tropes include:
%%* ActionGirl: Ladybug, of course.
* TheAdjectivalSuperhero: '''''Miraculous''''' Ladybug
* AllCGICartoon: The latest previews show signs of this. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw3OwfW0SH4 And it looks]] ''[[VisualEffectsOfAwesome stunning]]''.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Adrien barely seems to acknowledge Marinette, and in an ironic twist, Ladybug doesn't seem to reciprocate Chat Noir's advances.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Ladybug, house cat, pigeon, butterfly, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and a mime.]]
* {{Animesque}}: Yes, despite being animated by Toei with some heavy stylistic influence from ''PrettyCure'', it is still a French-co-produced series and will air in France and Belgium ''before'' Japan.
%%* BadassAdorable: Ladybug.
* BattleCouple: Marinette/Ladybug and Adrien/Chat Noir
%%* BigBad: Hawk Moth.
* ButNotTooForeign: Marinette is confirmed half-Chinese half-French.
* ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth: A butterfly emblem features prominently, in a context that implies it is part of the BigBad's scheme.
%%* [[{{Catgirl}} Catboy]]: Chat Noir, duh.
* CastingAShadow: The Mime villain mimics things like a bomb detonator and a mallet; [[TheShadowKnows his shadow reveals]] him holding the shadows of these things, and their very real effects.
* TheCityOfLight: Takes place in Paris.
* ClarkKenting: Played straight with Marinette/Ladybug. Adrien does a much better job at averting this as Chat Noir -- his hair gets much wilder and his entire demeanor changes.
* CloneByConversion: Theo becomes one for Chat Noir as an akuma.
* CoolAirship: In the PV, The apparent BigBad goes around Paris in a giant blimp (with the butterfly motif, of course).
%%* ConspicuousCG: The pigeons.
* TheCorrupter: Hawk Moth. He leads the akumas, evil creatures who transform normal people into villains.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Marinette has blue hair and matching eyes.
%%* CuteLittleFangs: Chat Noir, though not in civvie mode.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Chat Noir wears dark clothing, but seems to be on Ladybug's side. Ladybug's color theme (and also when you put the duo together) are ''red and black'', classic villain colors.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Cristina Vee and Bryce Papenbrook (Marinette/Ladybug and Adrien/Chat Noir) sing the theme heard in the CG trailer.
%%* {{Dojikko}}: Marinette.
* DominoMask: Marinette and Adrien's costumes both include one.
* EnemyMime: One of the mooks is shown to have mime powers, such as conjuring up an invisible plunger for detonation and an invisible mallet for attacking.
%%* ExpressiveEars: Chat Noir's.
%%* GayParee
* GenkiGirl: The trailer portrays Marinette/Ladybug as having the typical characteristics and mannerisms of one.
* GirlishPigtails: Marinette, which carries over to her Ladybug form.
* {{Gonk}}: The Pigeon Man, with his two bulbous, protruding eyes and teeth, when compared to the other characters, looks especially cartoonish.
* GreenEyes: Chat Noir/Ardrien's eyes are green.
%%* HappinessIsMandatory: So says the Bubbler.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Bubbles, as it turns out, make for excellent mass kidnapping tools.
%%* HellBentForLeather: Chat Noir.
%%* IdiotHair: Marinette.
** ExpressiveHair: It can curve into a heart and droops when Marinette feels upset.
%%* InnocentBlueEyes: Marinette.
%%* KickChick: How Ladybug seems to fight.
* [[LettingHerHairDown Letting His Hair Down]]: In civilian form, Adrien's hair is neatly combed back. But when he's Chat Noir, his hair is much fluffier and wilder, and it seems he becomes a lot more expressive and daring.
* LightIsNotGood: Hawk Moth starts his plans by opening a window and letting light into his lair, surrounded by a number of glowing moths who flutter around him.
* LovesMyAlterEgo: Adrian/Chat Noir loves Ladybug, but not Marionette. Marionette/Ladybug loves Adrien but not Chat Noir.
* LuckTropes: Most likely all of them, as Ladybug is Good Luck-themed, and Chat Noir is Bad Luck-themed.
%% Let's not include tropes that MIGHT happen. Let's only do things that are %%. I'm not really computer-savvy but we need to split this up into tropes that happen and ones that don't.
* MacGuffin: The Seven Miracle Stones that Hawk Moth is trying to take for himself. Two of them supply Ladybug and Chat Noir with their powers.
%%* MagicalGirlWarrior: Ladybug.
* MeaningfulName: ''Ladybug'', who has good luck based powers. Actual ladybugs are a symbol of good luck in France. Similarly, Chat Noir, which is French for ''black cat'', has bad luck based powers.
* MonumentalDamage: In the Toei PV, The Louvre gets blown up and the Arc De Triomphe is cut in half by a PillarOfLight.
* MoreThanMindControl: Hank Month uses rage, greed, frustation or fear of his victims to turn them in supervillains with his akuma.
* NoOntologicalInertia: Invoked with one of Ladybug's abilities. After defeating and purifying an Akuma, she can use a spell to undo most of the damage it and the MonsterOfTheWeek commited.
* OhCrap: In the Toei PV,Ladybug when fighting the Mime and happening to notice that his shadow is holding [[DropTheHammer a very large mallet]] that he's about to bring down on her head.
* RandomEffectSpell: Ladybug's "Lucky Charm" spell creates items tailor made to resolve a crisis. It does take her a moment to figure out what to do with it, though.
%%* RedIsHeroic: Ladybug's costume.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Both Ladybug's and Chat Noir's companions, and both are needed for the two to transform.
* {{Roofhopping}}: Ladybug's (and Chat Noir's) preferred method of getting around Paris.
%%* TheShadowKnows: What the Mime mimics.
* ShoutOut: A French mime villain detonating a building? [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Now where have we seen that?]]
%%* ShyBlueHairedGirl: Marinette.
%%* SigilSpam: Butterflies.
* SomethingAboutARose: In the toei PV, Chat Noir offers one to Ladybug, on one knee. She does not seem amused.
* TransformationSequence: Both Marinette and Chat Noir get one, with surprisingly little fanservice for either of them.
* TransformationTrinket: Ladybug's earrings and Chat Noir's ring. Both come with a cute little spirit.
* {{Troperrific}}
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Nino/[[spoiler:the Bubbler]] just wants his best friend, Adrien, to have a great birthday. And if he has to [[spoiler:kidnap every adult in Paris and threaten the children with a similar fate to make them party]], it's all in good fun.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Marinette. Probably a case of PurpleIsTheNewBlack, since she is half-Chinese.
* YourMimeMakesItReal: There is the mime villain who is capable of a number of tricks via miming. [[TheShadowKnows The shadows he casts]] show the objects he is supposedly holding and their very real effects.

-----
!!Tropes include:
%%* ActionGirl: Ladybug, of course.
* TheAdjectivalSuperhero: '''''Miraculous''''' Ladybug
* AllCGICartoon: The latest previews show signs of this. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw3OwfW0SH4 And it looks]] ''[[VisualEffectsOfAwesome stunning]]''.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Adrien barely seems to acknowledge Marinette, and in an ironic twist, Ladybug doesn't seem to reciprocate Chat Noir's advances.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Ladybug, house cat, pigeon, butterfly, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and a mime.]]
* {{Animesque}}: Yes, despite being animated by Toei with some heavy stylistic influence from ''PrettyCure'', it is still a French-co-produced series and will air in France and Belgium ''before'' Japan.
%%* BadassAdorable: Ladybug.
* BattleCouple: Marinette/Ladybug and Adrien/Chat Noir
%%* BigBad: Hawk Moth.
* ButNotTooForeign: Marinette is confirmed half-Chinese half-French.
* ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth: A butterfly emblem features prominently, in a context that implies it is part of the BigBad's scheme.
%%* [[{{Catgirl}} Catboy]]: Chat Noir, duh.
* CastingAShadow: The Mime villain mimics things like a bomb detonator and a mallet; [[TheShadowKnows his shadow reveals]] him holding the shadows of these things, and their very real effects.
* TheCityOfLight: Takes place in Paris.
* ClarkKenting: Played straight with Marinette/Ladybug. Adrien does a much better job at averting this as Chat Noir -- his hair gets much wilder and his entire demeanor changes.
* CloneByConversion: Theo becomes one for Chat Noir as an akuma.
* CoolAirship: In the PV, The apparent BigBad goes around Paris in a giant blimp (with the butterfly motif, of course).
%%* ConspicuousCG: The pigeons.
* TheCorrupter: Hawk Moth. He leads the akumas, evil creatures who transform normal people into villains.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Marinette has blue hair and matching eyes.
%%* CuteLittleFangs: Chat Noir, though not in civvie mode.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Chat Noir wears dark clothing, but seems to be on Ladybug's side. Ladybug's color theme (and also when you put the duo together) are ''red and black'', classic villain colors.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Cristina Vee and Bryce Papenbrook (Marinette/Ladybug and Adrien/Chat Noir) sing the theme heard in the CG trailer.
%%* {{Dojikko}}: Marinette.
* DominoMask: Marinette and Adrien's costumes both include one.
* EnemyMime: One of the mooks is shown to have mime powers, such as conjuring up an invisible plunger for detonation and an invisible mallet for attacking.
%%* ExpressiveEars: Chat Noir's.
%%* GayParee
* GenkiGirl: The trailer portrays Marinette/Ladybug as having the typical characteristics and mannerisms of one.
* GirlishPigtails: Marinette, which carries over to her Ladybug form.
* {{Gonk}}: The Pigeon Man, with his two bulbous, protruding eyes and teeth, when compared to the other characters, looks especially cartoonish.
* GreenEyes: Chat Noir/Ardrien's eyes are green.
%%* HappinessIsMandatory: So says the Bubbler.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Bubbles, as it turns out, make for excellent mass kidnapping tools.
%%* HellBentForLeather: Chat Noir.
%%* IdiotHair: Marinette.
** ExpressiveHair: It can curve into a heart and droops when Marinette feels upset.
%%* InnocentBlueEyes: Marinette.
%%* KickChick: How Ladybug seems to fight.
* [[LettingHerHairDown Letting His Hair Down]]: In civilian form, Adrien's hair is neatly combed back. But when he's Chat Noir, his hair is much fluffier and wilder, and it seems he becomes a lot more expressive and daring.
* LightIsNotGood: Hawk Moth starts his plans by opening a window and letting light into his lair, surrounded by a number of glowing moths who flutter around him.
* LovesMyAlterEgo: Adrian/Chat Noir loves Ladybug, but not Marionette. Marionette/Ladybug loves Adrien but not Chat Noir.
* LuckTropes: Most likely all of them, as Ladybug is Good Luck-themed, and Chat Noir is Bad Luck-themed.
%% Let's not include tropes that MIGHT happen. Let's only do things that are %%. I'm not really computer-savvy but we need to split this up into tropes that happen and ones that don't.
* MacGuffin: The Seven Miracle Stones that Hawk Moth is trying to take for himself. Two of them supply Ladybug and Chat Noir with their powers.
%%* MagicalGirlWarrior: Ladybug.
* MeaningfulName: ''Ladybug'', who has good luck based powers. Actual ladybugs are a symbol of good luck in France. Similarly, Chat Noir, which is French for ''black cat'', has bad luck based powers.
* MonumentalDamage: In the Toei PV, The Louvre gets blown up and the Arc De Triomphe is cut in half by a PillarOfLight.
* MoreThanMindControl: Hank Month uses rage, greed, frustation or fear of his victims to turn them in supervillains with his akuma.
* NoOntologicalInertia: Invoked with one of Ladybug's abilities. After defeating and purifying an Akuma, she can use a spell to undo most of the damage it and the MonsterOfTheWeek commited.
* OhCrap: In the Toei PV,Ladybug when fighting the Mime and happening to notice that his shadow is holding [[DropTheHammer a very large mallet]] that he's about to bring down on her head.
* RandomEffectSpell: Ladybug's "Lucky Charm" spell creates items tailor made to resolve a crisis. It does take her a moment to figure out what to do with it, though.
%%* RedIsHeroic: Ladybug's costume.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Both Ladybug's and Chat Noir's companions, and both are needed for the two to transform.
* {{Roofhopping}}: Ladybug's (and Chat Noir's) preferred method of getting around Paris.
%%* TheShadowKnows: What the Mime mimics.
* ShoutOut: A French mime villain detonating a building? [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Now where have we seen that?]]
%%* ShyBlueHairedGirl: Marinette.
%%* SigilSpam: Butterflies.
* SomethingAboutARose: In the toei PV, Chat Noir offers one to Ladybug, on one knee. She does not seem amused.
* TransformationSequence: Both Marinette and Chat Noir get one, with surprisingly little fanservice for either of them.
* TransformationTrinket: Ladybug's earrings and Chat Noir's ring. Both come with a cute little spirit.
* {{Troperrific}}
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Nino/[[spoiler:the Bubbler]] just wants his best friend, Adrien, to have a great birthday. And if he has to [[spoiler:kidnap every adult in Paris and threaten the children with a similar fate to make them party]], it's all in good fun.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Marinette. Probably a case of PurpleIsTheNewBlack, since she is half-Chinese.
* YourMimeMakesItReal: There is the mime villain who is capable of a number of tricks via miming. [[TheShadowKnows The shadows he casts]] show the objects he is supposedly holding and their very real effects.
