(If you need the source for what Princess of Harte is referencing, it's here. I added it to the main series article, I may add it here too.)

I actually expected the OVA to be a miniseries, interesting how that changed from person to person.

I guess my reasoning is that generally for OVAs in anime they're at least 3 episodes, and since Toei is a Japanese studio, I assumed they'd follow the industry they're used to. I've seen as many as 5 or 6 for OVAs that are under the traditional runtime of the series (like 5 minutes per episode), though I hope that isn't the case for Miraculous Ladybug.

I'm actually more curious about the stylistic changes. If Toei goes for a more anime-esque style for this (and possibly The Chinese Legend if they're producing that, since it's basically confirmed 2D), how many liberties are they going to take with the art? Of course no Félix, but are they going to do long pigtails like PV Mari? Of course I'm not expecting it to look like the PV but I wonder if it, along with the CG series, will serve as a basis for where the final art is going to go for this.

As for the animation itself, good luck to whoever is responsible for handling Ladybug's coloring! XD The spots were cited as one reason for going 3D and the issue still stands here. If they're choosing to stay traditional and not use digital puppets (honestly it would surprise me if they did the latter) those spots are going to be a pain to keep consistent. I'm expecting errors. 2D animation is usually colored digitally, maybe they'll use digital tracking for them like they did in the Disney short Paperman.

Sorry for the essay!
