The show has a mini web-series (webisodes) which can be watched online, on the official website. This series does tie in to the show, and could hint at story arcs for Season 2.

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir was pitched as an anime styled show, targeted towards teens & young adults, with a darker plot-line. This didn't work, so it was switched from 2D to 3D, with a slightly younger demographic in mind.

In countries outside Europe and the US (such as Korea), the show is known as "Miraculous Ladybug". In European countries and the US, the show is known as "Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir" or "Miraculous" for short. The name change was because the show wanted to appeal to girls and boys, and to show that Cat Noir is as much a main character as Ladybug.

Season 2 is said to have story arcs.

ZAG (the creators of the show) have also said that they are creating a cartoon based off the show, in an anime style. ZAG released a test footage, which gained major popularity, and so the team decided to go forward in making the anime cartoon.

Nickelodeon has the rights for the show in the US. But in most of Europe, Disney Channel has the rights.

Ladybug and Cat Noir both attend a secondary school ("college" in French) called "Collège Françoise Dupont". "Françoise Dupont" is the civilian identity of Fantômette, a French super-heroine character introduced in 1961. Fantômette was the first female superhero in French literature.

This show debuted in France, then South Korea before premiering in the US.

Earlier in 2017, ZAG won the rights back from Nickelodeon, and sold its right to Netflix for United State Viewers.

Cristina Valenzuela and Bryce Papenbrook have previously done voice work together as Hawk and Meliodas, respectively, in The Seven Deadly Sins anime.

All of the episodes are named after the villains Hawk Moth creates in them.

Hawk Moth's identity is revealed in the episode "The Collector".

There is a lot to love about Miraculous Ladybug. As a rabid lover of animation since the 90's boom of TV animation, I can tell you right now that it is perhaps one of the most phenomenal cartoons I have seen in an extremely long time. Combing a plethora of genres, from action, to comedy, to fantasy, and romance, "Miraculous" is an example of a series that is not afraid to take risks and defy common conventions of the genre in order to maximize quality, something that has been absent from modern television for a decade. At first glance it may appear like a typical magical girl/lame superhero program, but do NOT let the kiddy ladybug image fool you. It has such a high enjoyment value that you will forget that you are watching someone fighting monsters every week, but rather, live through the experiences of a not-so- typical high school girl whose life has been changed forever.

The premise itself is fairly cliché for the genre: a klutzy, happy-go-lucky girl named Marinette finds a magical pair of earrings and begins a quest alongside a cute creature that gives her the power to transform into "Ladybug," a superhero with the powers to seal "Akumas," demons that pray upon wounded hearts. Hawk Moth is the villain behind this phenomenon and it is her ultimate mission to stop him. However, the series gets largely complicated with the introduction of the deuteragonist (and Marinette's crush), Adrien. He also has a similar experience and can transform into Cat Noir, Ladybug's polar opposite and her partner on this mission to destroy Hawk Moth. But there is a catch: the both of them are forbidden in revealing their true identities while working together. Adrien is madly in love with Ladybug (not knowing that she is Marinette), whose heart only beats for Adrien in real life (also not knowing he is Cat Noir). And to Adrien, Marinette is just a girl in his class.

This love-quartet serves as the basis for the central theme of the series as their feelings for each other (and their alter egos) change and develop immensely. Additionally, the series focuses on Marinette and Adrien's struggles with their families and friendships. We learn about Adrien's troubled past and why it justifies his current actions. And while Marinette has a loving family and is sweet, kind, and pure by nature, she is also is shown to have her flaws, being cocky, selfish, and judgmental. There is a natural progression of events without using contrived plot elements such as deaths, love triangles, cheesy friendship drama, etc. We see that these kids have real flaws and are extremely relatable. The supporting cast consisting of Marinette's classmates are interestingly developed mostly through inferences and vague symbolism. This is a nice change of pace.

It should be noted at how impressive the animation is as well: a product of four major animation studios coming together, Miraculous boasts an 12 million dollar budget and it clearly shows here. The animation is gorgeous and the action scenes are very smooth. The music is nothing short of stunning, and the Paris-inspired soundtracks will easily get stuck in your head! I usually prefer hand drawn animation but the CGI here blew me out of the park. Also, those who are fan of Japanese animation will notice the references and similarities pulled from the magical girl genre: we have the magical transformations, the cute sidekicks, Japanese "akumas," etc. It's clear the creator was inspired by older anime classics such as Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor sakura, and Phantom Thief Jeanne, which some will appreciate.

That being said, Miraculous is definitely not without flaws. The story is episodic in nature and the fight scenes are extremely predictable. There is also not a lot of background information on how Marinette and Adrien got their superpowers. Hawk Moth is like a cut-and-paste villain with no clear reasoning. His one of those bad guys that just wants to 'take over the world' just because. But if I believe there is still enough to look past this. Seasons 2 and 3 are currently in development and they may or may not shed more light on these mysteries.

All and all Miraculous Ladybug is a heartwarming tale that children and adults will enjoy alike. While not quite flawless, it's a consistently high-quality, entertaining and sometimes thought-provoking show that proves there is a correlation in storytelling between creativity and quality. There is something for everyone here, and there are valuable lessons for our children about the human condition mixed in with the fantasy/action aspect of the show. I can only pray that Nickelodeon gives this program the respect it deserves given it's track record with "Avatar" and "Winx Club" over the past few years. For those of you who love this show, please, please support it!

I absolutely love this show. Not only it does have an amazing humor, but the animation is sublime. We can quickly relate to the characters and experience some greatly written adventures! I can assure you'll quickly become addicted to this show.

Both Ladybug and Chat Noir embody the concept of super heroes, without being flaw free unlike some other shows that make no sense. They're nice kids under those masks, and that's just another bonus. Their chemistry will capture your heart!

I'd perhaps work more on the main villain, give him more shots /different animation screen time?

Otherwise, it's just what animation needed! I'm honestly tired of bad animated shows that show characters with no substance. Ladybug and Chat Noir are a new, exciting addition to television! I'm looking forward to what they'll do next!

i originally started watching this just for the voice cast most of which i know from anime i watch but it quickly become something i wanted to watch for the actual story. Its cute and fun.. and its something i cant really find anything to complain about..

that is rare for me.

Again the voice cast is great the story is great. also i love the animation if you love superheros,anime,or something funny with a monster of the week this is the show for you and your friends or siblings. I love how fast paced it is. everyone give this gem of a show a chance you wont regret it

OK so.... I hate seeing hate for this show. I can understand hating certain characters but... This show is amazing. It's full of comedy and it can contain mystery like "who's next?" and "will they ever find out?" I really wish people would give this a chance instead of reading one bad review about it. Seriously just give it a chance! If you like it, you like it. If you don't you don't. No need to make a big deal about it.

All honesty people who do that bother me greatly because they don't give it a chance just for one bad review. That's one person's thoughts and feelings for it. Everyone thinks differently.

I love the love cycles in this show. It's so awesome how funny it is when they show their love. There are some emotional parts but what's a good show without the emotional parts? OK I admit there are a couple plot holes like "Why doesn't everyone wonder why certain people vanish and a hero replaces them?" That's just me with every superhero thing though. Other than that it's perfect! It's not the garbage they're showing on TV now. (ex. of what I mean is Pickle and Peanut) It actually has a plot. They aren't grasping at straws for the next episode! They also have a real world feel in the show. I mean yes some of it's fantasy but take out the superhero's and you just have students trying to get through school trying not to be bullied by the bully/bullies. They also face things like the real world. Suspension, royalty, police, and how unfair the real world can be at times.

The episodes are a bit repetitive, but still very creative and unpredictable. We know the Lady will win in the end, but it's always a surprise how. The two leads are very well balanced and likable, and the series manages to create enough interest. Marinette herself is a very great role model, but still feels well rounded enough to be sincere, and the audience finds it easy to root for her and Adrien, the secondary lead; and there is enough tension between the two to keep it compelling.

But I really hope the series develops on the premise and on the conflict for the plot, rather than use it to keep propelling a status quo. Even with the series' great premise, anything gets repetitive if done for too long.

Hopefully this great series can become a REALLY great series, and with its large fanbase it'd certainly be so gratifying. Here's to season two!

I am a calm, perfectly cool as a cucumber character on the verge of being a fully fledged adult. This show has somehow turned me into a fully fledged fan girl that blushes on occasion.

I've always been a fan of Batman. Maybe Cat Noir in a black super-suit just calls to me, or more likely it's the awesome fight scenes. Not to mention hilariously purrfect puns thrown in here and there.

This show will also definitely pull on the heartstrings of anyone who has experienced a maddening crush on that special someone. The beautiful landscapes of Paris just amplify the feels :)

One of the few shows I've seen where there's a great mix of drama, fighting and romance. The top notch animation definitely just pulls you in! Give the show a go, it's amazing :)

I stumbled upon Miraculous while I was baby-sitting one day, with the kid that I was watching telling me "watch this show it is the best". So to not disappoint her, I did. Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed in myself, in fact - I loved it.

Ladybug has a fascinating story about a teenage girl named Marinette who got chosen to be a superhero named Ladybug along with an accomplice Cat-Noir. Each episode explores a simple issue in a real life situation experienced by a person, then dramatizes it with a villain who uses the issue to try and defeat the heroes through the person experiencing it. It's that simple formula which makes the show exciting especially since you know roughly what will happen each episode. Through the 20 minute episodes, a couple of minutes is dedicated to explore Marinette's personal life as a shy teenage schoolgirl which builds a great likability to her character. However, the show isn't perfect. It gets really repetitive after a while since every episode has the same formula. Although this was fixed in the final two episodes where a villain was stretched out to two episodes to defeat, giving more time to empathize with Marinette the main character, but the rest of season one didn't really do that. The other problem is how the episodes barely give enough time to do character building with the supporting characters and instead focuses on how to defeat the villain, instead of the consequences of not defeating them (excluding the final 2 episodes of season 1). In saying that, it's not that the show is bad, but with enough work it can easily reach the heights of other great animations such as Avatar the Last Airbender.

All in all, Miraculous is a great show - one of the best I've seen in this last decade. Season one may have felt a bit repetitive, but there were moments which were definitely worth remembering and the final two episodes of season one definitely set some standards for season two.

Okay so as you probably've guessed after reading the premise,LadyBug is a homage to the superhero and magical girl genre,and it shows in its transformation scenes,to the villain who turns innocent people into his henchmen by using his mind control powers,to the whole "oh,I'm not interested in you,Cat Noir,I got a crush on Adrien,a guy who looks just like you but can't be you" cliché.However even if it might use some clichés,most of the times they come off as a homage rather than a repetition of something which has been done over and over again.It really doesn't matter if something has been done before,what it really matters is what you make out of it.My only real problem with this show is that it feels a little bit too much like Sailor Moon,yes I know it's supposed to be a homage but sometimes the tune feels a bit generic especially when it comes about the villain.He's not bad but someone like him could very well belong to any magical girl anime who had a villain with mind control powers. Anyway outside of this the show doesn't have any other real problems and the CG is awesome by TV's standards.Okay,maybe some character look better than others but Marinette,who's our protagonist has the best design and the best transformation scenes.Originally the show was gonna have a 2D anime style but I think the art style changed for the best.By not making it look like a traditional anime they made it easier for the viewer to recognize its comic book superhero themes and the action also feels more intense because of the CG.Also for a french cartoon the English dub seems to be pretty good so far,yeah some characters sound better than others and it's once again Marinette who got the best voice and for an European cartoon you don't usually expect something like this from English dubbers.Still,I recommend you to first watch it in french if you ever decide to fallow this series.

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.

This show is one of the best I've seen! I love everything about it. The characters, the CGI, the music. It's really charming. This show is full of innovation and smart ideas (such as the villains and about the miraculous) and it never fails to entertain me. The characters are mostly likable, although the characters Chloe and Lila got on my nerves a bit. The English dub is pretty good too- the voice acting and the lines.

Overall, I highly recommend this show. If you like Magical Girl shows or shows about heroes this is for you. It's entertaining, charming and overall a great show. I can't wait for the 2nd season of it!

This show is so amazing! The animation is gorgeous, the characters are funny and likeable, the fight scenes are look awesome, my only complaint is the story. it's kinda bland and has already been used a thousand times but other than that, If your looking for something to watch that's funny, romantic, and filled with Acton, or just wanna watch something with your kids, siblings, cousins,or ect this is a must watch I definitely definitely recommend it

To Sum Up Miraculous Ladybug:

Pros: Fun and relatable main characters Great animation An amazing representation of the potential of 3D animation Romance is enjoyable to watch and is something to look forward to Story written in three months, great show

Cons: Lack of a threatening antagonist Cat Noir seems unneeded against the villains faced The origins of the two superheroes are put as the season finale Ladybug's main superpower is the definition of plot convenience Needs more variety of superpowers to be used by the heroes Needs more interaction with some of the secondary characters introduced

(Take note that many of these cons are confirmed to be solved within the next season.)

OK this may or may not have spoilers. Okay there's going to be some but who cares! This is the best show my little eyes feasted on. The colors are amazing to the eye and the palliate. If your going to start watching this show I recommend the first episode. Adrian lives in this big house, but he has a lousy dad who wants him to do whatever he wants. Any way he has a best friend who wants to throw him this big b-day bash but his old man didn't want that then Hawk moth took advantage of him and transformed him into a villain. This is the first time people show cat noir and ladybug and it's great. I love it! Oh by the way I forgot to mention that Marinette has a crush on Adrian but doesn't know that he's cat noir. Cat noir has a crush on Marinette but doesn't know that she's Marinette. They a perfect couple but they don't know that yet. If you looking for that show on Nickelodeon they don't show that goodie on their channel any more, along with regal academy. They continue to milk SpongeBob until it's another The Simpsons or Family guy. It's on Netflix. Despite their stupid decision on canning the show and having Netflix air the show, it's still good. I hope people can watch this show and this show continues to air, coming up with new bad guys and new hero's as will. I also hope that Hawk Moth can be stopped and Marinette and Adrin have children together and know each other's identities as will. Best luck to the creative team who are responsible for this master piece. I also hope there's a Miraculous movie in the works. The movie will be called Miraculous the truth about cat noir and ladybug, hawk moth's identity will be reveled in this awesome movie as will. For now just keep on making good episodes and once they get around season 7 they can make a movie and it will be awesome!

This show is just amazing.... its not like Sanjay and Craig, its not like Bread Winners, its just a normal, non-twerking, fun-filled show. a few weeks ago, its first season finished, from a new miraculous holder to a perfume princess to the origin episodes... where Adrien finds a locker that contains a photograph of his mother and a miraculous book/history. I seriously cannot wait until august!the characters are so awesome, and the villains.... ugh there's just so many villains.. from lady wifi to stormy weather so much to choose from... the plot right now, well there really isn't a plot right now, but maybe in season 2 there'll be a plot. for people who hate on this show, (aka amazonseller-58096 ) give this show a chance. you probably saw one measly episode and just hated it right away. watch the origin episodes, its really awesome... everyone..... this show is the best thing I have ever run into

Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't seen seasons 2 and 3 yet. I'll admit, season 1 was actually kinda good (except for stoneheart part 2). I originally gave this a 10/10 because I liked the show from the beginning (before season 2 was released), but when season 2 came out, it just killed it for me. Not gonna lie, I liked the first half of season 2, but the second half (except for Zombizou) killed it for me. The episodes felt completely rushed and boring, and don't get me started on Troublemaker, that was by far my least favorite episode of season 2. The Queen's Battle duology was terrible, and the Heroes' Day special was also terrible. Every episode in season 2 felt rushed. Season 2 ruined the show for me.

Season 2 was really bad because the episodes were rushed (i.e. Syren, Troublemaker, Reverser, Frozer, etc.). I'm not hating on season 2 or the show in general, but it could have been way better. A 3rd grader could probably write better than this. I'm glad they introduced new powers for Ladybug and Cat Noir, but it's still the same plot as every other episode: someone feels negative, gets akumatized, Ladybug defeats the villain, captures the akuma, and uses "Miraculous Ladybug" to repair everything. That's it, that's the whole episode. That's EVERY episode. The fact that so many people that like a show that repeats the plot from the previous episode amazes me. I still watch this show, but only to see if it gets any better, which it hasn't.

The first episode of season 3, Chameleon, was released on December 1, 2018 and boy, it was awful. Season 3 is already starting off bad. I watched Stormy Weather 2 yesterday, hoping it would be good, but it wasn't. As usual, it was rushed. Oh did you know? There's gonna be episodes of season 3 all month long, so there's definitely gonna be a load of rushed episodes on everyone's plate.

I'm giving this show a 3/10 because it started off good, but then it just went WAY downhill. I hope it gets better, highly doubt it will, but we'll have to wait for the next episode.

I was searching for something good to watch and I found this show with a 8.5 rating and great reviews so I thought: "Wow, awesome" and then I watched it... it wasn't bad... but definitely not good.

The CGI is good, the people and backgrounds are great, especially for a show like this but sometimes there is way too much movement which made me think: "this should have been in 2D" but it's still visually impressive so that's a good point for the show.

The fight scenes are good too. Cat Noir's power is awesome. Ladybug's power is... original... I'm sorry, I think her power is lame, getting a random object that somehow end up saving the day, this is a power McGyver should have, not a magical girl. But like I said, overall, the fight scenes are good.

The music is good, the voices match the characters and it got a few laugh out of me so nothing bad to say here.

But the thing that killed this show for me is... THE PLOT. More precisely, the plot progression or lack of it in this case. Basicaly, you can watch the first 2 episodes and then go directly to episode 22 without missing anything. No new characters, no character disappearance, no twist, nothing. I am not joking, I had to re-watch it to make sure of it but the first two episodes introduce you to the important characters and it is finally in episode 22 that a new important character appears. I was waiting for something to happen mid-season, as something usually happen in other shows, but there was nothing. The plot even goes backward, yeah the season final, which is usually supposed to be some conclusion to a part of the story, show you how the main characters got their powers. So the last two episodes, are actually the first two episodes.

So in conclusion, it's watchable, but not the greatest show I've seen this year, or even this month. I'm definitely waiting for season 2 in hope the story will finally move forward but if like me you get bored and disappointed at the mid-season just know you can skip to episode 22 without worry.

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.

I hugely appreciate this french TV show. It is funny, contains lots of adventures and mysteries. Moreover, there are love stories that make this show even more attractive. Some ideas are very good and the bad guys are nothing but great characters most of the time.

The theme song is so catchy. Special effects, drawings, colors, stories, there is nothing i am able to hate in Miraculous!

One thing that i really like is the relationship between Adrien and Marinette.

Also, the fact that action takes place in Paris reminds me of my home, which is quite moving sometimes.

Enjoy it as much as i do.

For some amazing reason this show seems to work for me and being a teenager it sort of bring a childlike feeling to me which I love, and has a lot of positive messages so don't stop making more amazing episodes!!!

Love Interest/Romance: 10/10 Many fans will admit that it is the main reason they love the show.

Expansion Potencial: 10 There's a whole lot of room to grow here.

Variety: 7 A lot of it is very repetitive. The second season improved drastically there.

Corniness: 3 Sorry guys, it's corny. Try imagining sitting with your parents and watching the villain tell a butterfly to 'evilize' someone.

Character Development: 4 Not really seeing much of that yet. Though I suspect that'll change in these upcoming months.

Production: 1 I trust a release date as much as I'd trust a wild animal to not bite.

Overall enjoyability: 8 It has high and low moments, mostly due to frustration at the lack of change or the wrong kind of change *cough* Luka *cough*

Wonderful series which I watch with my daughter. But it is cute so you have to like "cute" otherwise you could be dissapointed. But we think the happy colours and the film itself is really, really beautiful made and there is certainly a happiness all over the film so again: if you don't like happiness don't watch. It makes us happy!

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

First time I watched this series I felt a little embarrassed to love a kids show that much, but who cares? Even if it's a show for kids, as an adult you can go deeper into the story and see things that kids might not see. I can feel a connection with the main characters as I can understand Marinette's insecurities and Adrien's struggles. Both really human and really lovable characters. What a like the most about Marinette/Ladybug is that she's not the typical Mary Sue; she makes mistakes sometimes too. And not to mention the love square between these to lovebirds, probably the cutest relationship on TV... Plus, you can have 4 ships in one!!! The only con I find is the poor character development of chat noir. Almost in every chapter he looks like he's only a sidekick, and unnecessary to solve the problem, even when he has the coolest superpower and he's always really committed, willing to even die to protect his lady. (In the Latin American version they even deleted his name off the title :( ) I think is unfair, he deserves some spotlight too and he's being underrated. I hope the creators can fix that in S2 P.s: I don't know if this counts as a spoiler, but I can't get over how cute and beautiful the origins part two final scene was. Not even in the most romantic movies I've felt that.
