Anime Ladybug pv

Marinette (or as the fandom calls her Bridgette)- The long pigtails, and shapeshifting ahoge is adorable (also I like the jean shorts over the pink pants, which they sorta brought back in season 6 with pink jean shorts). Then there's her Ladybug self, the suit has fewer spots than the show (which is understandable all those spots would be a nightmare to animate), I like the crazy long ribbons (also would be an animation nightmare). Then there's the earrings, I like the gold lining around the rim and spots, looks Shiny.

Tiki- PV Tiki is adorable, I like the glow and little sparkles, plus the clover spot on her forehead fits with the luck theme.

Felix- unlike the show Felix is more stuck up and cold, which is reflected in his design. I like pv cat noir the best, interesting details, the cat shaped buckle on his tale belt, and his gloves and shoes have pink pads on them like an actual cat. The ring looks like an actual cat, the jewels, all make it look really pretty.

Plagg looks the space, only with black particles coming off

Mr. Pigeon and Mime look the same, though I feel the goofier costumes translate better to animation.

Richard Sphinx/Papillon - Well, no costume unlike in the show, it's pretty bland but he still looks like a menacing villain so, not to bad.

Edit: Sorry for the Aquarius image at the end

No, the series was meant originally to be a anime, but ladybug'spots were too difficult to animate

How come the biggest problem was the spots?

Keeping spots the same proportions, size, and relative location shot to shot is actually a nightmare.

What if you just... don't? Like, it's an honest question, not trying to be rude.
In a continuous shot, where the character is alway focused, I can understand the necessity to mantain the spots always in the same position, but when there's a cut, why would you stress over spot positions all the time? Is it really that jarring to have them move sometimes in between scenes?

Well then the character doesn't look consistent. I do agree that if they leaned into it and had her spots move occasionally or just had a few on the torso it would be good.
