okay, i way prefer the CGI version to the anime style one. This PV didn't have the magical-girl/ superhero feeling, which the show is all about, at all. It just seemed like an underdone action anime to me. I also feel like ths smoother animation quality brought on by CGI makes things like facial expressions and subtle gestures a lot cleaner, and clearer, which gives the characters fuller personalities. Considering a lot needs to be conveyed per 20 minute episode, i think this works in the show's favour. The character designs in the CGI are also much much more memorable. Marinette's anime appearance looks bland and too cutesy to me, like every other kawaii happy go lucky anime girl out there. Felix also didn't have much of a "black cat" sort of feeling the way Adrien pulls it off, from what i could tell.

And secondly, the creators were right in saying that Felix was too cliche as a structure in the story to work, i personally as an anime fan am bored to death with cold and mysterious types like Felix would have been, wtih whom the main girl mindlessly falls in love- which is a trope that is ESPECIALLY overdone in magical girl and shojo anime. Felix's personality would also feel really out of place in a show that's meant to be quite bright and light hearted. Kind of like he'd burst Marinette's teengirl bubble. Besides, with Adrien, both aspects hiss personality are very likeable and the contrast between these two adds to it more. I can really see why he and Marinette would be a good team/ couple, their strengths and weaknesses are similar, but they can bring out the best in each other. I can't see that sort of chemistry happening between Felix and Marinette (not Bridgette, the creator of the show said she wasn't a real character, so...).

But yeah. I'm just surprised as many people are into this anime version as there are.
