New poster for the Tokyo special!https://www.instagram.com/p/DPeYvG_DQBx/
>>150712014What's this? The Miraculous anime style the fans that thought they were getting and a backdoor pilot?
>>150712488Yes.
>>150712014Those Sentai outfit look like shit
>>150712705What do you expect? They're teenagers.
Should I crosspost this on /m/?
>>150713664You probably shouldn't, since /m/ pretty aggressive against anything that is not>Giant robots>Toku>Old stuff
>>150713769But it technically has two out of three, and as Meat Loaf says, it ain't bad.

>>150712014that anime style looks so generic and amateurish compared to what they originally went with, is this being animated by a french studio?
>>150714001probably korean
>>150714001The art style just screams french fauxnime.
>>150714001>>150714023>>150714026They're saying it's being hand-drawn. I don't know where they're animating it. It could be Korea, but we don't know. We've only gotten clips that appeared in conventions. Maybe we'll get a better feel for it when a trailer comes out.
>>150712014Wake me for the Miraculous Family Smile Time Variety Hour.
>>150714102Isn't that 'Miraculous Chibi'?
>>150713002>What do you expect?Better looking suits
>>150714575Maybe they work better in motion.
>>150712014>>150714026>>150714640I don't think motion is gonna make the suits that just add parts of their hair/outfit to make them look unique, is gonna make them look better.>The blue one that just gives the black girl dreads on her suit >The turquoise one that just has a hoodie apart of their actual suit >Pink has her low twin braids with bows >White has her braid off to the side >Purple has an Emo cut obscuring their vision >Whatever the fuck is going on with orange They really should have just picked a theme.
>>150714444I'm kind of surprised that Zag didn't call it, "Miraculous Petite"
>>150714842Man, that is a brilliant name. Why don't you work for their marketing department?
Apparently, the newest 'Kamen Rider Zeztz' involves akumas spread through butterflies?
>>150714026eating her purple bush
>>150712014What is everyone's opinion of Kagami Tsurugi? I've been meaning to rewatch the older seasons, my memory is getting hazy. But isn't she mostly incompetent and causes more trouble than she helps solve? And just awkward? Her mother scheming in the shadows is mildly interesting but those sorts of plots are such a slooow burn in this show. Apparently this Tokyo Special will go more into Kagami's past/friends and I'm pretty interested in what they'll do with her.
>>150712014>Twelve fucking characters lined upHolly fuck what the hell are they thinking. The main show could barely flesh out about five characters and some of those they'd end up fucking up anyway. The rest were just left to be shit and ignored or retconned randomly. Why the hell does this spinoff think it can do twelve damn characters?
>>150715836>what the hell are they thinking.toys, dont be a dumb dumb
>>150715856Fucker you know this series barely gets any toys. Most of the shit they get is years and years old, like when Chloe was still a new hero old, and is only in select regions. This series somehow clearly bent over backwards trying to have as much potential for toys, plushies, and other merchandise as possible but then could never get more than a few dolls and cheap toys made. There's no way they're going to somehow pull it together for this spinoff either.
>>150715898>Fucker you know this series barely gets any toys.its set in japan and looks like power rangers super sentai, THERES GONNA BE TOYS or models/ statues that a re licensed. you can see some of them on the actual zag store now.
>>150715932>>150715898*i dont mean the power ranger shit is there btw, just the statues and models
>>150715898The real crime is no good vidya.
>>150715932>you can see some of them on the actual zag store now.https://www.zag-store.com/collections/doll-1Dude these are so fucking bad and overpriced. Holy fuck. And this is still the only shit they have after a decade of this show. There's no way they're going to be able to pull it together for this spinoff if this is all they could do after a decade. It would have been so easy to license out but for whatever reason it seems like Zagtoons just can't figure that out. There's little doubt the big figure and collectable companies would have been willing to work with them but that they haven't yet has to be on Zagtoons. Even Nendoroid, the line that has almost fucking everyone, only just two years ago got Ladybug and nothing else. I hope I'm wrong but having been putting up with this series and company for this show's run I have no faith what so ever in them. They'll fuck it up. They always find a way.
>>150712488As was prophesized.
>>150715969That's another mystery. They've released a couple games but they've all been shit. Somehow the best game the series has gotten is the infinite runner cash grab that's only in select regions. Surely there must have been some indie company or something they could have partnered with to make a game. Even a simple 2d platformer or something. A turn based RPG. Anything.
>>150714026That white mecha looks like a cross between the Knightmare Frames from Code Geass and a Gundam
>>150716052It's very close to Code Geass' Lancelot first version.
>>150715798Same, especially considering that she might possibly be groomed for the Perfect World Project.>>150715836Trying to emulate 'Degrassi'?>>150715898>>150715932>>150716035I'm guessing Zag has a problem with monetization.
>>150712014Now I will watch it
>>150712014>TWO "hair over eye" helmet designs>>150714026>Diversity, JapanI have the fatigue, Robin.
>>150716741They're supposed to be international school students.
>>150716741You clearly haven't watched Miraculous then and are just here to bitch. The show has always been Captain Planet tier of "diverse" from the get.
>>150716855Hell, Stellar Force is even more so, since the members actually do come from different countries.
>>150712014How is this show still going jesus christ
>>150717215Cool teenagers in hot latex might have something to do with it.
>>150714001Why'd they go for cheap looking CG again?Budget cuts?
>>150717553Reminiscing about the early visions, rather. Anime was always about large volumes delivered quickly so it had to be cheap without looking cheap.
>>150712014Oh God, this looks worse than the last poster (and I already didn't like the artstyle they chose for that one...)Anyway, Wreckless Driver is in less than 24 hours, and we still got no idea what it'll be about except for the hint that the akumatized victim is a woman because of the french title
>>150712014>Yellow being the center and not redI fucking hate when the west does that shit.
>>150715932Just because it looks like a sentai doesn't mean japs will eat it, the blue suit having fucking hair would insta trigger them. Also kyuranger already exists and japs aren't really fond of that season.
>>150712014This is going to be a flop, right?It's bad enough that the designs don't stand out at all. I'm not even sure what these kids' theme is (why does one have dreads on her helmet?).And you can already see that only the pilot has anything to do with Ladybug and Miraculous in general. The rest of the series will probably be completely disconnected.
>>150712014From the supposed insider (they confirmed Irupe's hummingbird isn't a kwami before Thomas)Also we've seen in a past preview that Yellow Girl is meant to be Leo
>>150715798Kagami is (or was prior to this season) a little socially awkward and not very diplomatic. And you wonder about her self-esteem, since she's been akumatized twice. But I always found her very competent in stress situations.She hasn't had a very big role since the England Special, except for a few scenes in Princess Syren. I'd really like to know if she confronted her mother over teaming up with Gabriel or if she's waiting for Mom to betray herself and then pounce.
>>150715564How did this design reach the final stage?It seems like a mishmash of different concepts, none of which ever came to fruition.
>>150718226>they confirmed Irupe's hummingbird isn't a kwami before ThomasWhat?! And what happened to all that Miraculous shit in other parts of the world that they've tried to push for 5 seasons?!
>>150713002Toqger were literal children In grown people bodies. What's your point?
>>150718264Yeah it's something akin to Renlings/Prodigious from the Singapore Special Also Brazil is the most important special because it apparently got the origins of the Miraculous kek (All hail the Gloob audience)
>>150718301That's Shanghai.
>>150718360You can see how memorable that special was to me apart from Marinette stalking Adrien to another continent using the money her parents saved for her for if/when she wanted to reconnect with her roots
>>150718221Wouldn't it be useful, though, so that it can stand without requiring a new viewer to watch 'Miraculous'?
>>150718238We'll probably know more as the release date approaches.
>>150718221>>150718371I mean they are also making a 3-season spinoff of this. First episode even got a title
>>150718226What's the deal with Not Chloe being front and center?
>>150718481Leader/Main Girl of the show most likely
>Special is a backdoor pilot for another series with 3 seasons being writtenWhy is this getting the spinoff before any of the other specials? Given the mecha theme, is this Zagtoon trying to make another series that appeals to boys since the others weren’t as popular or successful?
>>150718293I don’t know. I freely admit to not watching Super Sentai.>>150718706Maybe. That or they finally managed to get a financial backer.
>>150718706No idea. A thought that crosses my mind is them wanting to use their 2D branch to make a show for once (considering Zag's other projects have been 3D), and not just waste them for just an MLB special. So money but without thinning the 3D department that's already working on MLB and other Zag sho-hahahaha
>>150718226>Japanese episode>Japan is full of Gays and Brownslol. lmao even.
>>150719069Again, they’re international school students.
NO WAY WRECKLESS DRIVER PREVIEW IS REAL>https://x.com/ladyblognewss/status/1975564835934154903More Stooges... hooray...Also Dark Castle stuff>https://x.com/BeMiraculousLB/status/1975562003528769614
>>150719271I stand corrected, thank you, anon.
>>150719069The Japanese never had any problems with latex and tense situations.
>>150719318https://youtu.be/2TC3pdGdlOshttps://youtu.be/wDF8SJvStYU
>>150719318new teaaser is out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDF8SJvStYU
>>150719796It's posted already.
So, what do you think about the trailers?
>>150717501this shot looks really good, i wish they did not abandon the heroes only at night concept
>>150714102Still hilarious to me that this "Stellar Force" is exactly the kind of shitty spin-off that The Simpsons famously mocked, right down to forcing Ladybug and Ryuki to appear so they can shill it.
>>150720505While not exactly night, it seems ZAG is now putting more emphasis on lighting, including use of shadows. The Dark Castle trailer in >>150719796 has examples.
https://www.instagram.com/p/DPhCdpKDxVx/
>>150720510Silly as it looks, ZAG seems to have plans to make a superhero shared universe like MCU.
>>150721208Agle is apparently a major character this episode so I assume we're gonna find out if she's Lila or at least get hints
>>150719318>Aglaé kills a ladybug>Scene where she's surrounded by butterflies >Once again causes an akumatizationThey have to be doing it on purpose. She's Lila or the red herring
>>150720505It's pretty much due to practicality. Marinette's narration in the English dub is almost certainly an artifact of the early concept.
>>150721208>Ψ (psi) on the outfit>Wreckless Drivers' name in French is PSIconductriceheh
Did we find out who the VA of the mysterious person in Sleeping Syren was in English?
>>150721252>>150721280Whatever her last name ends up being will confirm whether she's Lila or not. Bible had a naming convention for her>First Name: Flower name in French>Last Name: Color name in Italian
>>150721438No. I saw speculations that Fury's va sounds like Kagami's (Faye Mata) but in a gruffer tone
Gloob announcement soon:https://www.instagram.com/p/DPhHe7ykcWV/
>>150712014Bump
>>150721914>GloobAh yes, the Constipator will strike back.>Constipator! I give you the power to excrete bricks. In return, you will give me the miraculous.Fair deal, I guess.
>>150721222They've been trying for almost a decade and nothing's ever come of it.
>>150722912Does anyone remember Ghost Force and the New York special?
Stay comfy.
>>150722965I know of it. Why?
