It's an amazing love story and overall an intriguing idea- you WILL like this show if you have the patience to watch all the episodes. It's funny, romantic, has good comedy, good visuals, etc. The two main characters balance each other out perfectly (Good luck and creation, a ladybug, bad luck and destruction, a black cat)The only complaints I could possibly have is a) Chat is portrayed as useless and doesn't receive enough attention, and he's one of the deepest characters, and b) the villain's names are incredibly stupid, and sometimes their powers are too (Mr. Pigeon?! Despair Bear?!). Yes, it is a slight cliche, but it works overall for the show. This is really moving and beautiful, and I love it. The fanbase and fandom are definitely worth exploring.

Very overrated children's show. Very repetitive, no plot, and nearly every character is just an exaggerated stereotype. Romance, which predictably drives the main plot, is nothing but a huge huge cheese-fest, and the typical love triangle is escalated into a love square due to the incompetence of the two mains and their shared inability to recognize each others' faces. Invincible heroes who never lose do absolutely nothing for the plot. Good for young children who don't need to understand what they're watching.Wouldn't recommend to anyone older than 8.

This amazing show might be my favorite animated series of all time. It has Perfect animation of villains and heroes with different and unique kinds of powers that may or may not be introduce before. The show itself reminds me of the popular animated movies, Big Hero 6. The show contain all the necessary aspects for entertainment of younger and older audience; such as, action, love story, positive role model, and an adventurous plot that develops throughout the series. It also include a numerous of round and interesting characters. I watched the entire season 1 and I couldn't stop thinking about the show. The mystery and the obsessing romance are just so appealing. The complicated situation of the protagonists regarding their identity make the story even more intriguing, which makes the audience want to scream at the screen. I can't wait for season 2.

What I saw: The entire first season mainly in French with English subtitles, some in the English dub and some Korean dub with English subtitles ---I don't mind that the show starts off with little to no background information on where the powers came from, who Hawk Moth is or why any of this is happening. What does bother me is why we're only getting this information as the season final? That's far too many episodes when the series is otherwise very formulaic.I had almost completely abandoned the series because of lack-of- backstory-and-character-development titchy-ness. Comparing the series to the drips of back-information we get from something like Steven Universe, Ladybug just increasingly seemed as through it would be a cut-and-dry formulaic series where we get little to no plot advancements or character developments whatsoever.Having said that, I'm a sucker for Magical Girl series and yes, I fell for our protagonists in their cute romcom subplot, so I continued nonetheless hoping for something.My main problem with the series isn't even the lack of backstory, it's a character. Her name is Chloe. She never learns from her mistakes, and she's responsible for half of the Akumas. I hope she gets some character development soon because her cliché arse is seriously doing my nut in. Minor annoyances include; The animation. While it looks good for the most part with attractive designs, it does have some strange points where there seems to be far too much movement. I've read some of the history behind it's development and apparently, it was conceived to be a 2D anime-style show. Apparently the anime-estique comedic movements don't translate well from 2D to CG. If that's what they're supposed to be The dialogue. I have no problems with the voice acting from any of the versions I watched, but some of the dialogue can get weird. It's especially evident in the English language version and I can't tell if it's just because I'm an English speaker, or that the dubbing dialogue was just weirder. I don't have the time to actually compare so I can only guess The spandex costumes. I have no real problem with the paper-thin disguises, but I can't help but find "Teens In Spandex" a little odd. They're what? 14? 16 at the oldest? but at least there's no "panty shots" like other Magical Girl series (looking at you, Japan). ---On a final note, I'm glad I stuck with it. It's given me some decent giggles with the romcom aspects (I can be a sucker so long as it's packaged with magic and action), and I am interested in who Hawk Moth is and what his game is. Though, I am dismayed that Season 2 won't start airing until 2017.I try to be very strict with ratings so my overall rating for this is 6/10 Stars. Starting off as only 3 Stars, it has grown on me to a degree where I would continue to follow the series, and even giving it one whole star above the minimum for "I will watch this" just for my giggles.I hope that Season 2 would give the series another star because there's potential that I'd like to see explored
