Follow up: Please don't any one bully or confront Thomas Astruc or Zag or anyone because of this video. I cannot 100% confirm that MLB ripped off anything. MLB does have its own ideas, but others were inspired (by probably Shugo Chara at least to a certain degree as well as other comics and magical girl shows). But at the end of the day, it's not that big of a deal cuz it's not blatant plagiarism. This was just something that had been on my mind for a while and I wanted to make a fun video about it. Plus, again, I haven't watched the show, so just call be the ignorant crazy lady ranting about a show she hasn't watched. Its ridiculous, but the video was fun to make x3 Let's keep all this civilized and fun. 😁

I mean, MLB was created in the same studio that Sailor Moon was, and it was originally gonna become an anime but the spots got too hard to animate on ladybug so they went with 3D animation. I think MLB is heavily inspired on Sailor Moon, with chat noir being like tuxedo mask and ladybug being like sailor moon, and the villain creating monsters is basically the same concept. I think they could have been inspired by this as well tho, to make a more interesting show.
@alexaar49513 жыл бұрын
Nevermind, I just did a little bit or research and I'm sure MLB was based off of Sailor Moon. Shugo Chara was also a copy of Sailor Moon so, it really doesn't mean anything if they 'ripped off Shugo Chara' because the studio that made Sailor Moon contributed in making MLB.

There's been many a time where I've watched Miraculous and thought, "You know.. This reminds me of Shugo Chara." There's a LOT of similarities between the two but I also always wondered if maybe I was overthinking it a bit. Shugo Chara told the story much better- at least the manga did. The anime, much like Miraculous, dragged things out a lot longer than it really should have, though I understand that they had to. Miraculous? Dragging it out for.. Money? It's just repetitive at this point, and character development in Adrian and Marinette's case is non-existent. Or in Chloe's case, thrown out.
@TheArtisticAloubell3 жыл бұрын
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the similarities X3 And it makes sense that the anime for Shugo Chara dragged things out a bit. I know some manga to anime transitions like to do that to meet episode quotas (especially magical girl anime where they could easily make it a "monster of the week" type show). But admittedly, I don't remember ever being frustrated about that. I was just along for the ride because the story was cute, the problems relatable, and the characters super fun. MLB right off the bat has frustrations relating too the reveal, slow character development, and the love square, so I don't even want to get involved in that X'D Still sad about the Chloe situation TT^TT

I just discovered this today and I have to say: Your sprite is super adorable. But in all seriousness, I've never heard of Shugo Chara, but I can definitely see the similarities (I just figured it was Spider-Man mixed with Sailor Moon). I was more a casual fan of Miraculous, but as the series went on, it started getting frustrating. Marinette became very creepy, acting like a stalker and yandere. She will sabotage any girl who tries to get close to Adrien and her friends just think it's cute. They only mention how weird it is (understatement) as a joke. Adrien is basically the sidekick meat-shield/pretty boy toy for Marinette as he is barely focused on despite having a more interesting story and is constantly tossed aside or controlled by the villain. I hate that the show basically made it so only Ladybug can purify an Akuma/Amuk. It was such a stupid decision to me. And on god, 4 seasons in and the story feels no different from when it first started in season 1. The villain of the week started getting so tiring, especially when most of the villains look absolutely horrible (dear god, what were they thinking with Reflecta? Not only is she hideous, but her power sucks). I once didn't like Chloe, but now I like her better than Marinette. As you said, she is the definition of a "bully turned good" story (Flash Thompson is a good comparison. He was Peter Parker's bully, but had grown, becoming a hero and being inspired by Peter). I don't even understand why Astruc villainizes Chloe so much when he basically made a worse version of her in the form of Lila (the show itself admits that she's worse than Chloe). Yeah, Chloe did endanger people to try and prove herself to her mother and personal gain, but does Astruc not understand that heroes aren't perfect? Another Spider-Man comparison, Peter Parker first used his powers for gain, but that costed him dearly. Now, he takes responsibility for his mistake and betters himself as a hero. Chloe definitely could do that, but Astruc seems so dead set on villainizing Chloe, calling her irredeemable. And to rub salt in the wound, he replaces her with her half-sister Zoey (personal opinion, but Queen Bee's design looks way better than Zoey's).

@@liakominazuma808 I think the bigger problem is how long all of this is taking. Sure, in real life, if you arent straightforward, getting your crush to notice you can take a while. But this is a show where you have to consider the pace of the story. It just doesn't feel like it should have taken this long for things to happen between them. Marinette should have long since gotten used to being around Adrien and not being so shy and giggly and stuttery. Those things go away when you have enough exposure to the object of your affection. It does seem like in Season 4 she's a little less stalkery and obsessive (although knowing his schedule for the next 3 years is SUPER sus), the problem isn't so much that she has the flaw. The problem is that people rarely call her out on them. Adrien is a little less frustrating as he technically can't know that someone has feelings for him unless he's directly told. But at the same time, he's been treating Marinette differently than every other girl since the beginning including slow dancing with her romantically multiple times. He is oblivious, but I'm gonna chalk that up to poor social cue recognition due to his lack of socialization while growing up. Even then, he could have had help a while ago via Nino on how to pick up on social cues like that, but we can't do that for some reason. 4 (plus) seasons is too long to string along this plot point (as well as the reveal plot point) and is frustrating to a lot of people. I hope all of that makes sense haha If you're happy with the progression of Marinette's character as well as the Adrienette progression, then cool! But hopefully what I wrote helps you understand why some people are frustrated by it.

@@TheArtisticAloubell I think there's a few reasons that the progression is so slow. The creators of the show chose to go with the traditional cartoon format and not the traditional anime format of a children's show. So all hints at Romance is slow progression almost to the point of delaying progression of romance. Also I've wondered if the reason they delay it is because they want to improve Marinette personal first; and have Adrien figure out that he doesn't see Marinette as just a friend. So far the main problem with Marinette is that she herself is so blinded by her love for Adrien that she cannot see past her own feelings. Luka was very straightforward about his feelings is the only reason Marinette could even dare to really notice his feeling as Marinette although she liked Luka is still very blinded by her own feelings, she had to give up on her feelings for Adrien somewhat to even admit outwardly her feelings for Luka, although very flawed because she still isn't able to give up on Adrien, she only accepts that Adrien and Kagame are dating. While she like Luka a lot she is still blinded by her own feelings for Adrien. One/a few kind acts Adrien did was more impactful to her to the point of causing blind love overdrive. Sorry thought a little bit all over the place.

I know doing something like that can be tricky when you want to make a show that both has a chronological story but also with enough stand alone episodes to where anyone can watch it at any time, but the way they're doing it just aint it.

Transformation trinkets truly are a staple in magical girl shows! I love seeing shows with them! Also they changed the artstyle because it was hard to draw the spots on ladybug.

I call bullshit on the spots thing! 3D animation is far cheaper than 2D, since you only need to make the models once and animate 20+ episodes using the exact same assets you already paid for, contrary to 2D animation where you have to pay for each drawing made. The spots thing is just an excuse, since they could use off-model drawings during movement heavy scenes (no need to track the spots then, just look at the best sakuga moments in Precure and you'll see everything is off-model; even Danmachi had a fight scene where the chains in one of the Amazoness warriors was just a bunch of yellow lines because of all the movement she was doing), or even changed her design to better fit the animation method. 3D was not used because of Ladybug's spots, it was used because the executives involved didn't want to dish out more money on the project! 3D is a lot cheaper and that was the likely reason for the shift in art style!

@@westanzhonglihere2391 The sakuga moments do not happen often, but they are not exactly rare either. There are a few examples on youtube (mainly because Precure is kinda obscure in the West, despite its popularity in Japan), but they illustrate how well animated some of the fights are. Look up for "DBZ SFX - Precure". It's a series of videos where the audio is edited out and DBZ sound effects are put in place instead. The guy behind these videos used several clips from the series, all sakuga fight scenes. I believe he has 14 of these videos for Precure alone. The character designs are made with merchandise and animation in mind, so they are not complex in nature, but very visually appealing and easily identifiable. The show is called Precure for short, started in 2004 with "Futari wa Pretty Cure" and has since been releasing one iteration a year, around 40-50 episode each, with a different cast for each new season. It's a magical girl show about middle school girls who fight evil like it's freaking DBZ (and are animated by the same studio responsible for DBZ as well)!

I would just like to say, MLB was created in the same studio as Sailor Moon so I'm pretty sure it's more inspired by Sailor Moon than anything else. The school girl who also is a superhero with magic abilities. Sailor Moon has a cat with her called Luna, who helps her figure out her power and everything else, just like Tikki does. Chat Noir also resembles Tuxedo Mask a lot, except the love triangle is reverse, with Marinette/Ladybug liking Adrien and not Chat Noir and in Sailor Moon, she loves Tuxedo Mask but when his mask is off, she hates him because he's so disrespectful. Shugo Chara does resemble it a little but I really think Sailor Moon was the show that helped build MLB. The MLB transformations are also almost identical to the Sailor Moon transformations as well. At the start, when it was going to be an anime, Marinette wasn't really clumsy or shy, but kind and outgoing and Felix (her crush, who is now Adrien) was mean and ignored her but was always nice to Ladybug. This first concept is really similar to how it is in Sailor Moon. Maybe someone suggested adding kwamis because they had seen Shugo Chara, but I can't be too certain. But we can take into account that Shugo Chara was also probably a copy of Sailor Moon anyways.

Many magical girl anime take some inspiration from Sailor Moon as Sailor Moon is probably the most influential magical girl anime. However, when it comes to Shugo Chara, aside from the school girl main character, transformation sequences, animal sidekick, and fighting bad guys who make monsters, all which are quite generic magical girl wise, Shugo Chara does its own thing and barely resembles Sailor Moon. Likewise, MLB closer resembles the little nuances that Shugo Chara has than it does Sailor Moon (because again, almost all magical girl anime take some inspiration from SM, even if its only 1% inspiration). But just as someone else said, not all magical girl anime are copies of Sailor Moon.

The people are cursed by a villain due to their negative emotions and become evil, and the masked main hero brings them back to normal by destroying their stuff.

Shugo chara was my childhood omg. Can't believe someone still remembers it! I think it's a wonderful series that tackles a lot of a coming of age story and holding onto childhood dreams. My only gripe with it is probably Amu and Ikuto's relationship is kinda uncomfortable when I look back on it
@moommooo2 жыл бұрын
Tho Ikuto himself is a very interesting character outside of his relationship with Amu. The fact that Shugo Chara is a power that manifests from childhood dreams and desire. Their powers are also not permanent since most people forget about childhood dreams once they grow up. So it's very interesting to see Ikuto who is closer to being an adult (17y.o) still having his powers compared to the rest of the casts who are at the 12-15y.o range

The second season of Shugo Chara really goes for it. The villain Lulu actively seeks out those who are unhappy to turn them into super villains, not just their eggs. This power comes from her pendant. Lulu is also a high class young lady from France. Her mother is a famous actress, though her father is a baker. We learn more than one Chara can be fused with at once. Unify. Ikuto is manipulated into taking on a new transformation and turning on Amu. Cat Blanc.

The Lulu crap was filler and not canon, it wasn't in the manga. The Death Rebel stuff WAS in the manga, but the anime handled it horribly... if they were going to insert anime original content to drag that arc out, they really should have focused more on the mental trauma of that transformation. I know Ikuto didn't remember much when he was in that transformation, but surely after a while he would have started to figure out they were using him to hurt Amu and it would have killed him to know he was potentially hurting her. Although I don't think his evil stepfather realized Ikuto was in love with her, since he was only luring Amu out because she could cleanse X-Eggs and thus bring the Embryo out of hiding, not knowing their relationship and that it hurt Amu to see him like that after she learned about his past.

He just takes one thing from another. Even I could've thought of something better than the current show itself. As an aspiring author, I've written many "incompleted" stories with far better plot and development (thanks to anime), but I always make sure my stories are different than the shows I watched. Honestly, the idiots should've stood with the Miraculous PV version (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNKniZakyKnLcYE.html) as it had SO MUCH MORE POTENTIAL to be the best star-crossed lover story.

But because bad writing and production decisions (there's a lot of ways to still make the show with 2D animation and still resolve the problem with motion sickness because of the spots in Ladybug's costume, just an example would be making her costume totally red and including and animating the black spots with 3D in pós-production), the show is meh.

I personally don't really like it when people say "That show or movie is a rip off of'' because most of the time a new show or movie can take inspiration from it. A lot of people do it. Maybe Thomas was a fan or something. For me personally I love Miraculous. It helped me a lot. Especially Marinette. I don't know anything about "Shugo Chara", but I tried watching a few clips and EP when I saw this video. I didn't really feel anything when I watched "Shugo Chara". I mean some of the moments are cool, but it's hard for me to get into it. I did however like your video and the things you said. I just don't think it's a rip off because some of the things in "Miraculous" are different and because they have different Miraculous versions that came out before this one did. I think the first one was in 2012, but I'm not to sure. I might give "Shugo Chara" another try though. I wish there was a English Dub for it.

Omg I didn’t know this anime existed. If you say it’s better than miraculous then I’m definitely going to check it out now. I pretty much gave up on miraculous because I got so tired of Thomas Astruc’s shit. I excuse season 1 because the entire thing was written in 3 months which is insane for a cartoon. I was super excited for season 2 back in the day bc I thought the writing would only get better and they said it would be more story based. It didn’t lol. I started watching the show as a lonely 15 year old who got a little too invested in fandoms. I’ve grown out of that & since I’m an animator/ writer myself, my standards have only gotten higher. It just breaks my heart that they didn’t go with the PV style/ darker story bc I love the characters & concept so much. The show has just been one massive disappointment that only gets worse the longer they try to drag out the reveal. For a show that’s supposed to be about the romance of the main two characters, you would have thought they would be a couple by now.

Shugo Chara is super cute and knows what its trying to do X3 It's not the absolute best anime ever, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and would watch it again if I had the time X3 It was so relatable to me too when I watched it in middle school/high school as someone who was still trying to figure out who I was and how I was supposed to act. I identified so much with Amu, the main character. If you do end up watching it, I hope you like it! ^0^ And I didn't know about it being written in 3 months. That's crazy! And...oddly explains a lot lol I'm sorry you were so into MLB only for it to disappoint you. I definitely know that feeling from other shows/anime I've watched. I agree it should have stayed with the PV storyline as it looked nicer and seemed more interesting. Alas.

@TheArtisticAloubell3 жыл бұрын
You're right! Some things on this list are very trope-y. Magical girl shows in general have a lot of things in common. However, I call out Shugo Chara as a big inspiration for Miraculous because its the specific combination of tropes that line up a bit too nicely. Like, not every magical girl show uses the exact same tropes every time, but these two shows share some suspiciously similar ones. Especially the main character being in love with a nice blond boy and nice blond boy is only in love with the superhero persona. And there is a cat boy with daddy issues who wants to be free. And a secondary love interest who is an older boy who plays a stringed instrument. yadda yadda yadda It's all in the video XD But yeah, MLB didn't 100% ripp off Shugo Chara, but the heavy inspiration seems super apparent to me. You're free to disagree, though. Thanks for the civil and thoughtful comment! ^_^

I don't think you're crazy, I see where you're coming from. I've watched miraculous since the beginning and I can honestly say that it looks like the first few seasons was based on this shugo chara. Honestly I wish I never watched it on the first place, definitely would have saved me the time and trauma.

haha thanks for letting me know that I don't sound totally off X3 I don't think that Miraculous is a 100% Shugo Chara rip off, and its apparent that the later seasons are becoming a bit more of its own thing (...a bit), but the early seasons were definitely inspired by Shugo Chara, methinks, especially the second season of Shugo Chara. If you're ever in the anime neck of the woods, I definitely recommend shugo chara! It's a cute time X3

I still think that's a bit of a flimsy reason as I'm sure other animation companies have worked with polka dots before, but fine. I know animation is hard so... In any case, it's a little bit more than them just changing the style. They changed their initial story too and the initial concept sounds more interesting to me.

I don't think miraculous got inspired by shugo chara They do have similarities but I think it is a coincidence. The plot of miraculous ladybug is about superheroes I didn't watch shugo chara but I think it is about magical girls. They are maybe similar in minor things but the main plot they are entirely different. Also saying that miraculous ladybug got inspired by shugo chara doesn't make shugo chara look that good I mean miraculous has bad writing and the logic is almost non-existent. It seems you are a shugo chara fan I didn't watch shugo chara but I am planning to but I realised that shugo chara has three seasons Shugo chara, shugo chara doki and shugo chara party I don't know the order Can you tell me the order of watching these seasons?
@TheArtisticAloubell2 жыл бұрын
I actually made a follow-up video to this one where I point out 22 more ways that Miraculous was inspired by Shugo Chara. They have SO many similarities that I don't think it can be called a coincidence. I actually consider Miraculous a magical girl show. Magical girls tend to be superheroes as well. I think comparing the two shows makes Shugo Chara look fine. Shugo Chara is the better version of Miraculous and shows how some of the plot points could be handled in a better way (in my opinion). You have the order of the seasons correct! It's Shugo Chara, then Shugo Chara Doki, and then Shugo Chara Party. BUT you might wanna check out my other Miraculous vs Shugo Chara video cuz I explain something about how to get the full canon story (because its not obvious lol)

@@TheArtisticAloubell Well. I watched the other one but still doesn't hold up with me. For example you made a point about how ikito and adrien became evil or were controlled to be evil I will say this is just a coincidence. To be fair the only thing that I might say is not a coincidence is the fact they need magical creatures to be their superhero form. Other than that I think all of the other points are coincidence. Also What makes me think they are not related or miraculous was inspired from shugo chara is the science of the miraculouses it doesn't seem to be like shugo chara. I don't really care what the work is inspired from I just care about if the work is good or bad.

@TheArtisticAloubell3 жыл бұрын
Aaaand that is the problematic implication I was alluding to ^^" Although I think the age gap is slightly smaller, Like Ikuto being 16 and Amu like 12 or something. But agreed, the age gap is still too big at their age. To be fair, kids in anime don't act like kids most of the time. Amu doesn't act like an elementary school kid, none of her classmates do. So people watching the show tend to get distracted by everyone's more mature mentalities and forget how old they actually are. That's more because the writers either don't know how to write child mentalities, or they consciously chose to have them act older...idk. Is it problematic? Yes, but you can understand how people came to be okay with it (plus using the justification that since Ikuto isn't an adult, it's still legal...and also they won't officially be together until they're both of age). But I definitely see where you're coming from. They probably should have put Amu and friends at least in middle/high school to make the age gap less bad and the story wouldn't have changed.

Okay so let me just share something. Now before people misunderstand me Shugo Chara is very dear to my heart and a big part of my childhood. And I do like Miraculous ladybug (although the romance is slightly aggravating). I just want to say I'm not hating on you or anything it's just I feel like most of the points you brought up are coincidences. Such as both Amu and Marinette's crushes are kind blond boys but in many animes I have seen the main character has a crush on the kind boy (who usually turn out to be second lead). So with that said I believe it was similar cause it is a very popular trope. Same with the dark haired love interest trope. And about both main characters being confident in their alter egos, this kind of thing is also seen in many magical girl animes so it isn't a very strong reason. Along with "A blonde love rival that either attempts to or succeeded on kissing the love interest" I may sound a bit to blunt but that's just way too broad. Romance animes have to have some sort of obstacles to overcome and usually that obstacle is a love interest. Just because Cloe is blonde and so is Utau does not mean Miraculous Ladybug. There were a few more reasons but this comment is getting a bit long so I will end it here.

Look I think fine to form opinions but when people are saying they really dislike the show so much I don't understand why they don't stop watching it like "okay cool, the show isn't there to impress anyone it's for literal kids and if you don't like that fine, it's just entertainment" fyi Japan does way worse in their animes than Miraculous is doing, but if you can't watch a teenage girl being in love and class it as "Stalking" (fyi most of the info she'll have got from the internet anyway) but can clearly enjoy anime characters being murdered off every 5 seconds then something is clearly wrong. Also I don't see the problem in taking inspo from other popular shows, Thomas Astruc even said once that he's an anime fan it's even evident in Chat Blanc and Animastro because there was Dragon Ball Z references and even a Magical girl one but according to most comments, God forbid another show to take inspiration from others 😱. Back to what I was saying about Marinette she's a teenager leave her be if she wants to know what Adriens upto then she can end of the day it's not harming real life people in anyway so why is it such a big deal, although since I know my crushes birthday and can remember it or that he likes baseball I must be a stalker because I know stuff about him but with Marinette because she sees him everday at school and her friends are friends with him she's classed as a stalker even tho she's shown no tendancies of actually actively following him all the time, and before anyone says anything yes Ik she went to Shanghai just for him but underneath that she did probably want to see her uncle as well. Sorry I just had to rant because most of the fans that hate on her probably don't realise that once in their lives they'll have done what she's done but they're just too afraid to admit it, me on the other hand I'm not afraid to admit that I have 100 and something photos of Wada Takuma on my phone or that I want to visit Japan to find anime figure and maybe bump into him but ik people will ignore the undertone of me wanting to go to Japan for anime and make out that I just wanna go there for him so then I'll be classed as a stalker. Btw I'm not aiming this comment at you the creator in anyway just those that hate Marinette for no reason so sorry if it comes off that way

Generally, you are correct. If someone doesn't like a show, they could stop watching it. And I'm sure a lot of people do just that! But if someone sees something wrong with a show or piece of media, it's perfectly fair to want to critique it or give an honest opinion (as long as it's done in a polite way). No one should go around only talking about things they like, but the things they dislike too. Especially when it comes to stories, sometimes pointing out flaws can help writers or other creatives learn what not to do. If everyone only ever commented on the things they liked, there would be no progress, ya know? And just because something is a kids show doesn't mean it shouldn't have a certain quality. In fact, because it's for kids, who are super impressionable, it should be of higher quality. (Not just talking about MLB, but all kids shows in general). In the case of Miraculous, I heard in the fandom that many fans, while like the show, but also have A LOT of problems with it and enjoy critiquing it and pointing out the negatives. Personally, I like to critique things in such a way because I have expectations and when the expectations aren't met, I get disappointed. Shows and stories have so much potential that it hurts a bit to see potential wasted. As someone who has been paying attention to the MLB fandom and the show in general from a distance, I think people complain about Marinette not so much because of her "stalkerish" tendencies, but because the show doesn't acknowledge it. It's okay if she does dumb stuff and is flawed. As a human, she's supposed to be flawed. And she's in a world that on some level echoes reality. When people do bad things or act irregularly, people are supposed to notice it. From what I've heard, no one has called out Marinette for her flaws, or even notices them, which means she can't grow since they aren't deemed as problems. I personally don't know if she has or hasn't been called out, but if she hasn't then that might be people's source of frustration: That Marinette doesn't grow or learn lessons or mature. Idk. I personally don't have much of an opinion about Marinette. She's just kind of blah/boring as a main character to me. Her "stalkerish" tendencies on their own don't bother me cuz I've watched enough anime to be used to such behaviors. Any frustration I have with her is that her development is super slow and it's frustrating. I'm also rarely a huge fan of the leader in magical girl shows. Idk, it's just a me thing lol In any case, lol, my comment came out much longer than I intended, my apologies! I am sincerely grateful for you watching and for your thoughtful comment! ^_^

Thank you so much for making this video! I honestly never thought that MLB is similar to SC because I haven't seen SC since 11-12. So it's a long time ago while I've started watching MLB since the beginning of 2021. My first reaction was it was actually cool that they've blended two genres of Magical Girl and Superheros into one show. It's kind of similar to MHA where they blend Shonen and Superheros genres which I find out a genius. Anyway back to this, so I agree that they take too long to reveal their identities. I also expected that they would reveal it at the end of season 1 like other Magical Girl series but nope, it's just really too long even though we're in season 4. But I'm guessing that writer wants to save it just for surprise hopefully at the end of season 4. I also understand that the story can be a mess, especially with Chloe's characters. I mean at first, I thought they messed her up but at the same time, I think the writer wants to tell the audience that it is up to them if they want to change themselves or not because it's their decision. That's what Chloe chooses not to change, even though she has a heart but she does not know how to use the miraculous properly. So overall, I would say that MLB is very different and unique then the Magical Girl shows that I've watched in the past. I mean you would see that a mascot/stuff animal chose them to become a magical girl that you can save the world. While this show, yes Master Fu chose the 2 main characters to defeat the villains in the beginning. But in the later season, Fu allows Marinette to choose her own alley and someone can she really trusts. Which it's pretty new to me because I don't think I've ever seen a show that the main character chooses their own alley/teams (unless there's one). Also, I think this show is a target to everyone and even parents watched it with their children. For SC, I really love it as a kid and I like Amu because she's different than the other main characters from what I remember. Also, I think it's cool that they wish what they want to be when they grow up and then they have charas. But as an adult, I realize the show was a little cliche. But I wish that they could keep the story a bit going like where are they in the future? I also really want to see them as an adult. In conclusion, they're both goods in their own ways and has their own theme similarly. (I'm really sorry if I write too long because I want to expand out my thoughts after watching this. I mean you don't have to agree with me.🙂🙂)

I actually think that MLB is a combination of Shugo Chara, Spiderman, and Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne. Seeing as how I'm exceptionally biased towards Shugo Chara, I was annoyed that it wasn't credited as an inspiration. I don't think MLB totally ripped it off, I just wanted Shugo Chara to get some recognition for the inspiration. Regarding the reveal, at this point, idk if the writers can come up with something to match the expectations of the fandom due to waiting so long. But I guess we'll see! I actually made a video about Chloe's character development. Astruc was apparently not doing any writing for season 2, and the writers that were in charge did intend to redeem Chloe. But when Astruc came back for season 3, he got upset because she didn't want her to be redeemed. So season 2 had all of this character development, but Astruc decided to trash it. And he made some comment about some villains just won't reform. I took issue with this as Chloe is a 14/15 year old girl who has been shown to have redeeming qualities. The wasted potential irks me. BUT with events happening in season 4, I think there's still a chance for Chloe to reform. We'll see! I'll hand it to you, though. I think MLB is the only magical girl show I've seen where the heroine gets to choose the other heroes. That's one point for MLB...I can't give it much other points than that. I do like that idea, though! All in all, I still can't help but see the similarities between Shugo Chara and Miraculous and I feel that Shugo Chara does some things better than Miraculous. But that's just my opinion ^_^ haha no worries on the long reply! I like to give long replies too when inspired! I appreciate your thoughtful comment and that you watched my video, thank you!
