📢 PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING, IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT BELOW: This behemoth of an episode took 7 months, but it’s finally complete! Thank you to everyone who has stuck around and been patient, I know these take a while but I am only one person and there’s only so much I can do. Your constant support and excitement are greatly appreciated and make ME excited to continue this series. 🥰 For those of you who are new, or weren’t aware before, please make sure to visit mlofficeau.carrd.co for info on the series, FAQ answers, and updates on my progress. ✨ Now for the important announcement: WE’VE REACHED THE HALFWAY POINT OF THE SERIES!!! 🎉 I have 10 arcs planned overall and arc 5 marks the halfway climax. I started this series back in May 2020 and it’s been quite the ride. I didn’t realize then how big this was going to get, but I’m so thankful! With that being said, I do need to take a few months hiatus from the series. At this time, I’m unsure when I’ll be starting up arc 6 on Patreon. During this time, I need to focus on real life stuff, as well as produce and finalize the ML Office AU merch line (which I plan to launch later this year). Please note, I will not be posting arc 6 parts on Patreon during this time off, but I will still continue to fulfill other benefits. When I begin working on arc 6, I will make an announcement on all of my social media, as well as in the KZfaq community tab. Other info to note if you weren’t aware: Aside from all of the voice actors and translators I work with, everything else in this series is done by one person - me. This is why it takes so long to make. Since I work almost full time on this, I use Patreon to support myself financially as well as pay voice actors and translators. This series is NOT made for free, it would be impossible to do that. Hence why I need to fund it through Patreon. I have always planned for this entire series to be released for free, and it will be. But for those who do not subscribe to my Patreon, you’ll have to wait until a full arc is completed before you get it for free. I unfortunately don’t have time to respond to everyone’s comments, so I greatly appreciate those who have taken the time to explain things to others who have asked about this! With that, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU ALL!!! And I'd like to extend a very special thanks to all of my patrons, without whom this series would not exist. I truly hope you enjoy this arc, a lot of love and hard work was poured into it! 💗

Why is it that literally everybody writes Chloe better than the writers of the show!?!?

Everyone: Go talk to Marinette. Felix: Oh stop it. Chloe: You don't deserve her, don't even try. Felix: Okay now listen up-

Felix: "It's not even 9: 30 and I'm already exhausted." *I'm telling you, Felix is my spirit animal*

Love how Chloe is still Chloe with her narcissistic tendency yet so supportive. She knew what she was doing when she talk to Felix and was the only one that actually got through to him that Marinette was happy with him and should try to shoot is shot.

Felix: "Y-yes, Ms. Dupain-Cheng, you look radiant." Me: "carefree, dreamy, Adrian the Fragrance"

I like that Felix fell in love with Marinette instead of Ladybug in this arc, and that Ladybug and Chat Noir's relationship has just been shown to be a strong partnership so far. There's much more to be seen of LB and CN in this arc but it's just honestly so refreshing not to have to see the complicated love square play out and overcomplicate everything, instead we get more into their civilian lives and actual character development and I just love that

As soon as Felix said Marinette looked radiant I instantly thought about ✨Adrien the fragrance✨

Chloé’s VA _nailed_ it oh my god. Everyone involved has done incredible work but she really stood out

"you don't deserve her. No one does. She's a gem." Chloe, my new favorite character

THE KISS SCENE HAD NO BUSINESS OF BEING THAT ATTRACTIVE. I LOVE THIS OH MY GOSH

The implication that he's microwaved tin foil so often that he now needs to be told to stop whenever he gives some indication of needing help in the kitchen. Top notch.

19:40 "That's rough buddy" from Sabrina is killing me. I love it.

the fact that in 27:10 marinette is talking to tikki but we can't hear her voice 'cause kwamis can't be seen or heard through cameras is such a GREAT detail, i love this series

I love that Felix has retained all of Adrian's blonde disaster tendacies. "Yes, hiding under a table is a completely normal way to avoid having a conversation, shut UP Plagg!"

13:00 ✨ Radiant ✨ 🌬️ carefree 💨 😴 dreamy 😴 😍 FELIX 😍 😘 The fragrance 😘

I love how Marinette and Felix here are literally the epitome of “A fell first but B fell harder,” because Mari has always liked Felix since she first met him basically, to the point where she seems to have just sort of blocked her feelings out enough to have normal interactions and just normal day to day life in general. Meanwhile, Felix just… started liking Marinette out of nowhere, so suddenly that he didn’t even have time to realize the feelings himself and had to have someone point it out to him (he’s also maybe a little bit dense but we love him anyways😌). Ugh I LOVE THIS DYNAMIC SO MUCH!

All of Allegra's different nicknames for Luka are killing me. Each one is better than the last!

"CLAUDE, STOP MICROWAVING TIN FOIL" I'm crying this is phenomenal.

I love how Allegra keeps calling Luka "Bluegrass" "Blueberry" "Ex Jay Guy"

WHOEVER CASTED CHLOE NEEDS A RAISE IT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE HER!

No cause how does anyone resist the urge to just “Radiant, carefree, dreamy Adrien the fragrance” when Felix said radiant

“I’m not in love with her.” Allegra and Allan: *not buying it* Claud: “WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME 😭”

I'm extremely late, but is anyone gonna talk about the fact that Luka's "ride" is Kagami?? (26:51) I think that was a really cute detail added, just goes to show how much work is put into these episodes!

The way Felix said to Marinette, “you look ✨radiant✨” I DIED LAUGHING

Take notes original creators of MLB. They need to do something with their character development because this was 100% better than the original.

Felix's "I love you" when marrinette was talking about him in sweatpants gives off the same vibe as Adrien in the show saying "I'm sorry i never went to your dads funeral" after spotting some hoops lol. Great episode and completely worth the wait, loved it as usual.

BROOO THE “MILADY” LINE THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS INSANE

I love this version of Chloe. She still has that snoob personality but you can see how she grew and what could have happened hidden between the lines. How her and Marinette became more closer

1. This is what Chole should have been. the character development we wanted. 2. Also Luka sneaking off with Kagami did not go unnoticed. 😌 3. We need to see them all in their miraculous! Stat! PS this is best so keep going and making great work!

Sabrina saying "that's rough buddy" has given me life.

Never appreciate Chloe this much in my entire life! Thank you, emzurl, for this amazing redemption arc 👏👏👏❣

the whole animation budget went into that kiss scene i swear- No seriously tho, i love this series

I like the fact that Alya’s technically been part of the cast all along, becoming friends with the rest of the cast Also, the natural way Felix and Marinette grew feelings for each other and are starting to realize it while everyone else already figured it out is just perfect! And the fact that Chloe got a redemption arc and respects Marinette so much is amazing! Luka’s characterization and Marinette’s reason for rejecting Felix is so great too! Oh no, I just saw the ending, he just kissed her without consent, that boy’s gonna get slapped, oof

Can we talk about Chloe for a sec? She did get a little redemption arc, she knows she was a mess and literally tells Felix he doesn't deserve Mari? Like, CHLOE! And her hair, omg, it's so gorgeous! And Kim and Alix? Their relationship? That's so awesome! They are all! Emzurl, you are! And Sabrina's 'Thats rough buddy'?? Like?? Zuko?? Am I the only one to notice? And that kiss scene? IM SCREAMING ALL RIGHT

"I just went through a lesson of self worth and now it's this idiots turn"

Marinette's dress looks STUNNING, this has been the best series ever, thank you so much for producing this

When I saw Chole I was worried that this show would do a bad job at representing her. But I was surprised to see the show, not only shows Chole's strong will, but also a character arc!

I'm so used to the original miraculous not moving forward the plot that I was really surprised that the story didn't go in circles this time so refreshing

"That's rough, buddy." hahhahhahah the reference from ATLA is flawless 19:40

this was stunning and beautiful! i loved seeing the entire class' designs! and can't forget my favourite members of the class, bakugou and uraraka hanging out at 19:27 lmao. i figure there's probably more easter eggs in the background, but they're the only ones that i recognised

I loved seeing Allegra be aggressively encouraging. Especially when she is in an absolute RAGE with her legs wrapped around Felix, while he frantically tries to protect himself 😂 That scene gave me LIFE!!

this series has better plot, character development, relationships, characterization in general and is more interesting than the actual show-

12:52 Felix: Yes, Miss Dupain cheng you look *radiant.* Me: RADIANT, CAREFREE, DREAMY, ADRIEN: THE FRAGRANCE

AHH THE CHANGED THE INTRO FROM FELIX TO LUKA TALKING TO MARINETTE

can we all just appreciate the fact that emzuri animated a 29 minute episode that gave us everything, nothing was too complicated, no cliffhangers, everything was understandable AND MOST OF ALL WE GOT A CONFESSION AND KISS IN THE SAME EPISODE, 5 EPISODES IN AND, I'm usually not one to compare art/works but yes, this is definitely better than the og show. do i need to go on?

I'm HERE for Chloe's reverse psychology.

Love that Allegra’s chin just keeps getting sharper and sharper

y’all that kiss scene was the most insane thing i’ve ever seen like the tension and the energy was GORGEOUS. absolutely impeccable

At this point this series is even better than the original show

I do like how with every episode Felix's voice gets more and more expressive as time goes on. It's a really cute little detail, especially in the you-know-what scene where he really sounds a lot like his Chat Noir self.

i love how Chloe still has that rich gal behavior, but is also likable

24:16 ik this scene is sad but THE MUSIC IS SO GOODDD

The amount of emotion conveyed on Felix's face after Marinette pushes him away? My heart!

Some takes of this arc: 1. Blushing for life!!! 2. Allegra being more observant than literally every single canon character 3. I’m not much of a LukaGami shipper but I ain’t complaining either way 4. That GIGANTIC MUG!!! 5. I need Chloe to be my passive aggressive life coach ASAP 6. That last office scene should be classified as a health hazard, I literally almost died from overt happiness and joy

3:09 Claude humming "Last Cup of Coffee" while making coffee is everything to me! Love to see it!

18:41 *giggles* Alix is angry bebe... All joking aside, it's great to see everyone. All we're missing is Kagami, but I think she was the one on the motorcycle.

The fact that we got more character development here in the five parts of this AU so far then the whole 4 seasons of MLB is saying alot

ALLEGRA GIVING LUKA RANDOM BLUE ASSOCIATED NICKNAMES TO AVOID SAYING HIS NAME MAKES ME LAUGH

13:28 of course Chloe would get a Karen cut

🤣🤣🤣”if you’re jealous that the blueberry is butting into your marinette territory” pffffft ahahahaahaa

The fact that it's a common occurrence for Claude to be microwaving tinfoil and for everyone to know about it is both concerning and hilarious

Chloe out here being a passive aggressive life coach. This series is so much better than the actual show, I can just feel the love and care that went into it.

We don't deserve this, no one does, it's a gem.

So many comments about Chloe but not about Lukas's mystery partner with the face of KAGAMI?! Am I the only one who was surprised?

The way Felix said “I love you” CHILLS! I think I replayed him saying it like 4 or 5 times, the VA did an incredible job. Incredible kudos to you Em, and the whole cast!

ML Office AU not the series that is canon,, but the series that we wanted and the series we deserved. But seriously. Thank you so much for making this. I'm not in a position where I can support financially but I've been following this series since episode 2 (I actually jumped on just before episode 3 came out) and I just want you to know that I'm so happy and proud of you. Your art is amazing. This series is amazing. Your work and the work of the voice actors is truly something splendid. This goes beyond just "fan content." You've made something really special and you should be proud. I love this series. We all do. And we're all so proud of you. You're doing an amazing job, now get some rest and take all the time you need. We'll be here when you get back. 🐈‍⬛♥️🐞 🏢

Allegra being immediately onto Felix is the best thing ever i swear to god SHORT HAIR CHLOÉ???? MY HEART STOPPED FOR A SECOND OMG STUNNING WHAT A WOMAN ALIX AND ROSE WTH LADIES AHHHHHH I CANNOT BREATHE Mylene's height also took a JUMP

No way Claude was humming to one of my favourite songs, I love him sm

"I just went into a journey of self-worth and now its this idiot's turn" This. This is what I'm going to say once I am able to get better and drag my besties to get better as well.

2 things- 1. THE ENDING MADE ME SQUEE 2. Does anyone else notice that the more comfortable felix gets around Marinette and the others, the more he dresses down and lets his hair get naturally messy, making him look more like an older version of Adrien? He started as very similar to canon felix from the original anime version, but now hes relaxing he looks more chill :) he also looks a bit more like Chat when his hair is messy, blurring the lines a bit!

I can’t because when Felix said Mari looked radiant I started saying, radiant carefree adrien the fragrance 😂💀

Y'all everyone is gushing over the kiss scene, which tbh I absolutely love, but I can't get over the scene where he confesses! I keep rewatching it! It's my favorite moment so far!

I just realized that Marinette was talking to Tikki and she pretended that she was talking with her mom. Her excuses here are not as lame as they were in show.

This fan arc is honestly better than the actual series, not even gonna lie. Thank you for making this for us! 🥰

are we just not gonna talk about how claude's coffee mug is as big as his chest? cos i don't think that man needs that much caffeine 💀

16:41 "We're JuSt FrIeNdS"

10:35 I love how Claude calls himself a "professional" photographer but he's holding the camera upside down. Also, the stuff about mugs came back around! Not just the interviews at the end but in the break room scene Claude's mug is huge ("I'm more of a gallon guy myself"). I discovered this series just a few days ago and watched it all. You're doing excellent work!

Omg the thumbnail has me rolling around squeeling like a three year old. The eye contact and blushing! Gaaah I can't wait, tysm for making this beautiful series 🥺💕 Honestly when I say I like Miraculous THIS is what I mean. I've happened kept up with the actual show for awhile, but I'm always coming back to this. Much love and support!

God this is absolutely wonderful you are a SAINT for providing us with this, and for FREE! I can only imagine the amount of work you put into this for 7 whole months. Your commitment is admirable! I’m honest to god more invested in this than I am in the actual show,,, the wait is worth it! Your art style is amazing and I laughed out loud a number of times just because of some of their expressions (Felix’s had me cackling) The humor is just fantastic! I love this so much, and thank you again for what you do!!

24:20 NO MY BABY DON T CRY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

12:55 "Y-yes. Ms. Dupain-Cheng you look *Radiant" Dreamy, Carefree, Adrien the Fragrance*

i love the implication that marinette (and by extension felix) can't move away or leave paris too long because of their superhero duties! that detail was really good! i think it highlights their desperation to find hawkmoth because it really interferes with their personal lives. maybe marinette more than felix, but still. also seeing all the classmates was really fun. and allegra, finishing her character development, wanting to kickstart other people's journey to self-improvement was just gold. love that the office gang feels like a proper friend group now and that they offer felix support.

Felix : "radiant.." Me : CAREFREE, DREAMY, ADRIEN THE FRAGRANCE

19:53 gorgeous line, lovely and darling

Felix: “You look… Radiant” Me: …Carefree. Adrian, the fragrance.

Omg we’re getting the season four finale, and arc five of The Office AU in one morning? Best birthday ever lolol Please do take your time with these. I’ve always enjoyed watching each episode when they come out, no matter how long they take to make. You put so much time and care into them and I appreciate all of the work you, the voice actors, and everyone else that works on this project. Please do also remember to take breaks every now and then! I’m so excited to see what the rest of this series has in store, and I hope you have a great day :)

12:54 Radiant Carefree Dreamyy Adrien the fragrance

13:07 I literally screamed RADIANT,CAREFREE ADRIAN THE FRAGRANCE 😆❤️

I really love how everyone looks as adults. Especially Marc, he’s working that David Bowie look like a king! 👑

I really loved how they showed Chole as a good character than as depicted in the show. I mean in the show when she on ladybug's team she was so much better than in season 4 (I get it that she was still a brat but that how she was raised)but really think Chole is good character and deserves character development

Chloe’s backhandeD encouragement was iconic lmaooo

Felix: “…radiant “ Me: Carefree.. Adrien The Fragrance

I love that subtle and smooth Lukagami bit. Kagami driving off on on motorcycle with Luka was sweet!

seriously watching you put this arc all together since last summer on patreon trying has been an enjoyable experience. it brought so much joy to my life as i was dealing with so much. thank you so much for all that you do, you have created something so great

22:00 when she said it was all Lila’s fault and that she was responsible in the first place, along with the fact that Into The Woods has been nailed into my vains, I could only think of the song “Your Fault”

Are there like cameo appearances of BNHA characters or am I crazy like at 13:19 with the wide shot of the room it looks like on the far left of the dance floor is Bakugo and Uravity and then sitting at a table by himself on the right is Deku and it looks like Todoroki is at the table in the bottom of the screen? All that aside though, I am 100% loving everything that happens in this show. It's so well done and beautiful. Every episode just gets better in terms of quality and character design and I really appreciate the outfit changes. You have such a beautiful art style as well. Thank you so much for all the hard work you've been doing for this. I appreciate it so much.

Claude is so adorably annoying and annoyingly adorable. We all need a friend like Claude. Alan is such a big bear bro. We all need a friend like Alan. Allegra is such a snarky socially acumen sister. We all need a friend like Allegra. We all should be able to be a friend like Claude, Alan, Allegra for a friend in need.

"You want to ask us about our favorite mugs????" "Claude, I swear to god if you ask them one more question about mugs!" That ending is very on brand for this series. Also Felix and Mari's relationship and how everything had developed this episode. I'm REALLY curious how you develop that going forward. As frustrating as it is that it's been 4 seasons and Mari still hasn't told Adrien how she feels or that the two have shared a kiss without it being an alternate reality bad ending or amnesia, its definitely a writing hurdle that the writers will eventually need to overcome and it's nice to see how fan content tackles it. I can't wait to see the next arc! Please keep up the great work!

24:48 lmao i thought he meant he and felix used to date
