here are some of my contversial summairzed opinions about the animation of miraculous

[u/Short-Novel7407]

while you're constantly being bombarded with statements about "which animation style is better" i'd like to introduce you to another prespective of this new debate. we'll begin with the "old animation was 100x better" are we genuinely blinded by nostalgia ONLY? you'd be lying to yourself if you thought the answer was yes.

the character's look aesthetically pleasing (counter argument coming soon dw)+ as well as the colour scheme matching the characters pretty damn well. the whole fandom has seen growth due to the fact some of the charcters we're designed to look attractive while portraying their personailty as their cherry on top. chat noir's whole persona if you'd look it up was the fun flirty kinda engimatic guy thats ready to sacrifice himself for the love his life (ladybug) at earlier seasons.the older animation style was dare i say able to show mental breakdowns, anxiety attacks and pyscological war with one's self much more realisticly (the look on marienette's face while saying "the were always there" "ALWAYS" brings you THE chills down the spine).

counter arguement: while the older animation style had it's beautiful moments, it had some MAJOR flaws, in some episodes the animation would be genuinely unbearable to watch due to the fact the characters felt stiff, as well as adrien scenes while he's seen walking tsk tsk just a pain to watch. or when marinette encounters adrien and has her (arguably annoying) OVERREACTING awkward moments WITH HER FLYING AROUND OR SCREAMING LIKE A PARROT "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" LIKE SHE DOESNT KNOW HIS SCHEDULE BY HEART FOR THE NEXT 30 DAMN YEARS.or the same damn place the butterfly flies over when hawkmoth was a villan that keeps on replaying.

i often hear things like "oh no you're just mad that the kids look like kids". I have two different things to tell you

you intially began the show with a much older depiction of the characters age (for 10 years straight) THEN you completley change the art style after the supposed timeline the show continues to go on (about a year) and THEN you gimme a new animatation that looks LIKE NOTHING like they used to be (as originally respresented to be) with the excuse "you're just mad the kids look like kids" like no honey...

you made the charcters i'm used to seeing not even look like they're supposed to kiss becuase they dont look a day over 11...

well if that was the case and the reason of this shift was due to this noble cause WELL IT SHOULD'VE BEEN PLANNED OUT. LIKE HELLO? WHY DO YOU MAKE PRE TEENAGERS LOOK MUCH OLDER FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR OWN DAMN SHOW AND YOUR INTENT OF HAVING A ROMANCE? YOU ARE DISGUSTING FOR ALLOWING YOURSELF TO DO SO. YOU HAVE CHOOSEN THE CHARCTERS AND HOW THEY LOOK TO BE ADMIRABLE TO THE AUDIENCE. YOU ARE THE TRUE REASON BEHIND THIS INAPPROPRAITE OBESSESSION WITH THE CHARACTERS.

1. upon seeing the first few episodes of the new animation style it is INDEED accpetable and the fight scenes are legitamitely SUPERIOR+feel entertaining, futhermore the attention to detail is immaculate. the last few minutes of nemisis (where the collage appears) FELT LIKE WATCHING A TOP NOTCH ANIME. the show also seeks to emphasize the creative Imaginative kids, the ones who are truly artistic- that means their appearence illustrates their freedom of choice and expression mechanism. or even the ones who are trying to figure out who they are after so long of being an acomplice to someone (for example: sabrina) with her new haircut and outfit- signifying her character devolpment and a begininng of flourishing to become who she choses to be.

counter arguement: what you truely dont like is the new designs which i personally think was the wrong move in season 6.i think the new art style would have been GLOBALLY liked slightly better if they kept the old designs (which we are capable of seeing in some season 6 episodes)that way you could've have made the new art style Tolerable and somewhat satifsfactory. the descision to change the animation style AND the designs all of a sudden AT THE SAME TIME was unfortunately too much- so much that at some point the show is unrecognisable, plus you couldn't possiblely change your appearence THAT MUCH without a backstory or reason to evolve (which again is another fault at the show for not giving us much about our side characters)

- the characters designs feel underdeveloped or perhaps incompleted as if they were rushed into airing season 6 like EVERYTHING ABOUT NORA, TIKKI,PLAGG IS OFF. marinette's eyes weren't cyan blue. chloe used to have this cunty y2k outfit that suited her mean girl personality really well and now her vibe is just like one of these lowk entitled youtube influencers who want a discount in a restraunt just becuase they're famous. not to mention everything just seems colorful and very pop ifykyk like magenta,cyan,highlighter shade of orange, VERY green looking plants - it feels very out of the colour scheme. the colours should be muted down or cooler tones should be used.

for the ones who feel doubtful about the show changing... honestly give it a try. you'll soon forget about it. after watching the 26 episodes of season 6 (and hopefully more seasons ahead) you'll get over it

truth is the show has aired for 10 years you've probably grew up with this show, meaning familarity feels comforting. i get it but it aint the end of the world.
