Lady Bug - French Anime

I don't care what anyone says, the mime guy looks badass.

... Also, the protagonist lady is extremely sexy to me. The art style is a little far on the cutesy side of things in some respects, but it's got enough of that Western cartoony strangeness to it in the right places to be very intriguing to me.

I love how both protagonists have slightly different personalities than they do in their alter egos. The girl is shy but is more confident and ruthless as Lady Bug, and the guy is stoic and no-nonsense, but is more daring and outgoing in his superhero outfit. And of course, they never recognize each other when on missions!

The 180 in the cat boy's personality makes me wonder if there's some kind of possession going on.

It could be a lot simpler than that. Could be that his unmasked self is really the one with the "mask" and the catsuit just makes him free to act as he really wants to, eh?

or they actually channel their mascots to some extend when in costume

The idea of masking yourself to bring out who you really are is not a new idea. I'd love to see it done here.

I got a really cool Spider-Man vibe from how she acted all awkward in school vs. how she was while in costume. This looks awesome.

Hey yeah this looks like a gender-bent Spider-Man!

In Paris.

By an anime studio.

So, basically three times as awesome?

Also, it is just me or is that mime villain incredibly badass for once?

I think it's because the mime isn't acting like a clown.

It helps that he can make a building explode with a detonator that isn't actually there.

What reminds me: The PV had quiet an high amount of Monumental Damage but outside of that we don't really know much about the Villains motives. So I wonder if there is some kind of Reset Button at work, otherwise the Villans look quiet like Terrorists...

@Mime guy: It's amazing how rarely people look at the mime profession and don't equate "person who never speaks" with "stoic badass".

@that video: I never want to stop watching this video.

I love the animation and by god I love the song.

I am literally the girliest person in the world.

Hum, I like it better with that song…

Thank you for linking to a working video!

Sooooo, anyone know when this is coming out?

Don't know about release date, but page.

Why does this have two different pages? This one is a lot more comprehensive.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Those are both the same page, and there is no evidence to the contrary.

Seriously though, it's because the show's title was unclear for a long time, so the pages were created independently and no one noticed. The smaller one is a redirect for the bigger one now, and any missing information was moved over.

Wait, pigeon man is a villain? Just from the trailer I was assuming he was a hero of the idiot variety.

It looked to me like he was attacking Chat Noir with the pigeons, so either cat boy's a villain or pigeon man is.

Its probably my spider-man brains talking or hell, batman, but I figured cat boy was an anti-hero.

This is the show.......... I wanted, but never knew I wanted!

Is it airing in Japan and France, in Japanese and French, on the same date?

Also it's weird how Ladybug and Chat Noir cannot see through the other's Paper-Thin Disguise.

Also this may be the greatest Super Hero anime or Western Animation since Tiger And Bunny. But it will never surpass Tiger And Bunny. Ever. Except maybe in animation.
