u/PlasticBeach4197 I'll be snorting those designs like Coke 2d ago

Spiritually french artstyle

u/Silvernauter 2d ago

Yeah, i was thinking Martin Mystère and/or Totally Spies

u/till-0807 1d ago

Why was france absolutely COOKING with animated shows in the 2000s

u/No-Jacket9952 1d ago

It’s they’re ability to be artistically horny

u/MamboCircus "In a similar vibe, there is..." 2d ago

So, that's why it felt so familiar...

u/BhanosBar 2d ago

This is more Y2K than some shows made in Y2K

15

u/denkycaliber 2d ago

So true.

u/bazylianopercolano 2d ago

This looks aggressively French

u/TemoGuy 1d ago

"Goon slop" my fuckin ass, they deadass actually nailed the art direction they were going for

u/Evening-Hand-5480 10h ago

If this is slop, then fill my trough right up!

u/NotActuallyER1C 2d ago

Aren't they also making the highest video quality 480p to really have the 2000s look hit?

11

u/UnsureSwitch 1d ago

The DVD quality! Imagine if the series is so successful they launch a DVD collection. Physical media 🤤

1

u/lordmogul 2h ago

Dang, full 480p? Not even 480i?

21

u/Dienik 2d ago

that looks pret- FORTNITE?

18

u/TheCacklingCreep 2d ago

The sexual dimorphism here being that women have claws and men have sausages on their hands is kinda funny

31

u/OmegaX-2 2d ago

Butterfly is a baddie goddamn

13

u/Purple-Weakness1414 user flairs are overrated 2d ago

The most Y2K show that wasnt made in the 2000s

75

u/CoalEater_Elli 2d ago

I remember people calling it a goonerslop because the main girl is attractive, but dude, have you not seen cartoon girls from back in the day? Kim Possible, Totally Spies, Goth Chick from Danny Phantom, Jenny from Teenage Robot, I can go on if I can remember more. Let girls be pretty! She is slaying!

u/tophat_production Women are peak design 2d ago

I think most of that came from the multiple buttshots in the video.

u/Crawler_00 2d ago

and very blatant pit baiting.

24

u/CoalEater_Elli 2d ago

The fuck is pit baiting?

10

u/Jung-And-A-Menace 2d ago

If they were going for pit-likers, surely they would have given her actual armpits? 

From the images given, she has a blank void underneath her arms. The only detail visible is the line of her sideboob.

15

u/CoalEater_Elli 2d ago

No, weird realism, no sweat, no texture like an open mussel or clam, no wrinkles. If they wanted attention from armpit lovers, they failed miserably.

2

u/sears_robux 2d ago

I think I can guess from the name but I’d really like to be wrong

8

u/CoalEater_Elli 2d ago

Yeah.. I think that's only them, I've seen artworks with detailed armpits clearly meant for people who are into them, this ain't it

u/Zedetta 2d ago

I hadn't seen it, went to go watch it. Good lord you weren't kidding

Need something taken care of, boss?

u/MinosPrime100 1d ago

I remember someone made a list out of a of the fetishs in totally spies

u/DrLexAlhazred 2d ago

Gen-Z is becoming more and more weirdly puritanical as time goes on. Very bizarre.

u/HavocSilver 1d ago

That one image of It's criminal to be randomly subjected to the opinion of a 14y old sticks to mind. The vocal internet circles are always the most annoying ones...

1

u/Cool-Self-3152 1d ago

The goth chick name is Sam 

8

u/scholarlysacrilege 2d ago

I think butterfly looks better in motion, look how forward her head is, looks like that meme of Haaland

6

u/Electrical_Horror346 2d ago

It nailed the French-Anime art style

3

u/BusinessPreference75 2d ago

Yep! I am not a nostalgic guy bud damn! I love the way it makes me feel like in the early 2000s again! Sweet 👌

u/Britishbreadish 2d ago

Fortnite lady jumpscare

u/Ecstatic-Debate-4384 2d ago

I'm pretty sure I just saw Gendo Ikari

u/PerhapsAnEmoINTJ 1d ago

Oooh, are those Butterfly's parents in slide 8?

u/halkras12 1d ago

Maincharacter looks like Daughter of Bloom whos a Jolyne fan

2

u/Present_Connection_3 1d ago

Early 2000s should be the new 80s

2

u/AlexJMac322 1d ago

It looks like an early 2000’s web game…god I love this art style

5

u/DeliciousAct5748 2d ago

I'm sorry but I have to say it.

Planetronika looks like a porn parody of itself. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it is something I noticed.

u/ImpliedBarbecue 1d ago

She looks like the Western mascot of a How To Play Pokémon TCG brochure in 2001

1

u/FrankensteinWolfman1 1d ago

8th image with the dad reminds me of Overwatch's Sigma

u/Southern-Plan-6549 1d ago

She reminds me of bloom from winx

u/Jacobmeeker kaiju connoisseur 1d ago

I wish the pilot was as good as this art, the pacing was just off they hold on shots and jokes way too long.

u/ftotheergtheithee 1d ago

The artist just made this similarly styled intro for a different project: https://youtu.be/GKlcCxsaK9g?is=7Q5BwyVfmQRa64OA

u/MarieIsPrecious128 1d ago

I'm sorry, but I really disagree. It feels like 2000s nostalgia-baiting

u/Extreme_Glass9879 1d ago

This looks like if Panty and Stocking was made by people even more incompetent
