[MMD] Miraculous Ladybug Classmates Vroid Studio DL
Today, here is new set of models from me with couple of new characters. Present Alix Kubdel, Natalie, Mylene, and Ivan. Not only that, but I fixed a couple of bone structures and naming for all of them. I even did small texturing to some of my 2019 models on flat color to give small detail. 2019 Christmas release was a good time, and now I feel like releasing a batch, especially the New York Special.
NOTE: All of them have Auto-Breathing tool implemented, so they breathe by themselves. If you encounter a problem where they keep twitching, SET MORPH on “Disable Auto-Breathing” to 1.0 to disable it. Also, try to make it easier when selecting all bones as it can have an affect on auto-breathing.

Not only that, but here are my thoughts of Miraculous Ladybug New York Special, then my headcanons!
NOTE: Don’t read the following description if you haven’t seen the special and don’t want to get spoiled!
Well, I thought it was good. Not the best, but pretty good. I watched the premiere on Disney Channel US and saw it entirely without interuptions at all! This shows how invested I am to this franchise! The new characters and heroes are really interesting, and they do show about each of them. We do see Majesta as a real superhero of New York City. Also, the two new girls we saw. Aeon is a robot that transforms into a human, and Jessica is her partner and gets the eagle miraculous later on. Both tried to help Marinette and Adrien interact better, and let’s get to the two.
I really didn’t feel like Marinette’s interaction with Adrien has developed at all and I feel like it’s kinda falls to Puppeteer 2 situation again, but I’m thankful it wasn’t that bad. I get that Marinette blush too hard when sitting with Adrien in the plane. I wished she stop with that whole heavy repetivite of not knowing what to say that makes him misunderstand, which is a big reason I didn’t like from Puppeteer 2. Marinette always trips and stuff whenever she’s with Adrien, after all three seasons! I would expect to have her develop better and do less of that at least. There’s no development of Marinette overcome her awkwardness or direct interaction between the two whatsoever that the special make it seem like it would do. It’s all barely developed, and we see little bit of scene where Marinette is fine with talking to Adrien, like the flying hot dog scene in the party. Also, Adrien gets taken away in later half of the special by his dad, so their direct interaction seems to end that way, so no further development. I know the class made a thing for Adrien at the end of the special, both watching the sunrise in the plane, and also Marinette chasing Adrien in the car, but I just want to see her overcome her awkward behavior when talking to Adrien directly. I know it’s been a thing, but I want to see some change in character development.
So let’s get to other MLB characters. Well, I am surprised and happy to see Mrs. Bustier pregneat. Lila gets put in the bus after the beginning of the special, which is good to hear. Chloe came and she’s pretty much a tsundere when Sabrina asks her questions. I didn’t expect for Sabrina to have a crush on a random guy in NY, which is interesting. Oh, Marinette and Alya has to share the same room with Chloe and Sabrina. How interesing. XDDD The classmates are about the same, so I don’t have that much to say. The science teacher is in charge of the class, and it’s funny that the class aren’t happy with that, which saddens the teacher. The Principle came with them, and only thing I see him do is dress up as his Owl superhero during the fight scene around the airplane. Seems embarrassing. XD
As for the fight scenes, introducing superheroes and see how they showed up in the airplane is really interesting to watch. I expected Hawkmoth to appear to NY, but his part looks very interesting. Taking a random guy, Mike Rochip, to akumatize him twice, and seeing how he ruled the city, wow! What a powerful supervillain! They got control of most superheroes in New York, so they’re pretty strong.
As of Ladybug and Cat Noir, I see that Ladybug was a bit too far with Cat Noir. Granted, he was supposed to be in Paris, but as Adrien, he has to come to NY. Well, we see Adrien struggle with his faults of almost killing Uncanny Valley and appearing without Ladybug’s approval. I feel sad that Cat Noir gets that treatment, but at least Ladybug knows she needs him.
I am glad the special is animated by SAMG Animation, and I thought it wouldn’t. As I checked, the special is rendered at 720p and upscaled to 1080p with native resolution for texts and credits, like the first three seasons. I mentioned this on my research on Tumblr last year. Also, as much as I like seeing all new settings, two scenes looks like it’s reused from first three seasons. The sewers looks the same, and one stair scene inside Statue of Liberty reused the stair setting from the TV studio in Paris, at least once. I wished they were either recolored or something a bit more different, but other than that, the special is completely new. Sad to see that Season 4 won’t use SAMG for their episodes on animation, but this special looks really good.
FINAL THOUGHTS: This special is interesting and really good. I wished to see better development on Marinette when interacting with Adrien directly, and also wished he stayed longer with them to see the development. I just want something new for character development. Besides that, I like all the new characters and villains, and the action scenes with all the heroes and even the villains too.
Now that I wrote my review of the movie, here is my headcanon:
From my Pokemon MMD videos, from my last MMD post, Bunnix took me, Ash, Konata, and Bea to Castelia City, Pokemon’s New York City. We go to the party while Bunnix used a gadget to be another human character as a disguise to enter the same party as MLB Class with X and Y trainers, along with couple of Unova Pokemon Trainers and Masters.
ANNOUNCEMENT: With that headcanon, I will make MMD Comic Panel Strip of that story as part of my MMD series later this year!
[MMD Ladybug] Lila old/new and Max Kante Vroid WIP
I made some changes on the Lila model, and Lila looks overall better.
The new one is in the middle. I changed parts of her facial look, modify
her cheek edge and chin a little, darken skin color, and darken her
hair color to look more like her. Lila on the left is the old model from
last month. Max Kante was made from last month, and I haven’t showed
him to the internet until now. Vroid gets a bit of updates, but there is
no accessories yet, so I got a random glasses model for him.
[MMD Ladybug] Lila Rossi and Luka Couffaine Vroid WIP
I made Lila last week and just finished Luka. Both have their Vroid
design and try to aim close to the show as possible. Luka’s hair was the
hardest, and while the volumes and straps of hair aren’t exactly, they
are pretty close. The shoes was a bit hard for texturing for Luka.
Jagged Stone shirt texture was from Miraculous Content deviant account and used
other poses too.
First off, I want to share a link to a fanart of Bunnix.

Written few days ago. I decide to put out my thoughts about the title above because I really found this episode to be very interesting!
I saw TimeTagger at Sunday recently, and I actually found this episode to be my favorite of the season, and we got another great superhero.
Spoilers Ahead!
TimeTagger
This episode bring us another superhero, Bunnix. Well, Alix’s watch from Timebreaker is brought up again for an important plot. Bunnix got freed from the pillar, and later, it is revealed that she is an adult version of Alix. I do like how her adult self looks and acts, and Adult Alix is mature and brilliant. Bunnix helps Ladybug and Cat Noir to defeat TimeTagger, who also came from the future that Bunnix was supposed to be on. Seeing Bunnix in action is very interesting. It was choreographed pretty well on how the battle went. Bunnix is a really cool superhero. She is pretty reckless, and while she can fight on her own in many cases, she will realize that she would need a team if things didn’t go out well. I like the fact that present Alix is really interested on her future life. In this episode, I think Bunnix is the strongest on the team. Well, knowing Alix’s tomboyish nature, she would be strong and reckless. Wow, Adult Alix has grown taller.
I had theories about Alix’s watch back in 2016, after seeing all 26 episodes and re-watching Timebreaker and the Pharaoh, I would believe her watch would be brought up again, involving with the superheroes. Her watch with a hologram was the only item that is magical, besides Kwamis and Miraculouses. Also in the Pharaoh, the museum has relations with Ladybug, knowing how old Ladybug is and how Tikki knows some things in the museum. Alix’s father and brother are historians, so it would make sense that the watch could relate with the superhero mystery later on. It turned out to be true.
Although, I would say that Bunnix is my favorite superhero of Miraculous Ladybug, it is currently. Her design is cool, and everything about Bunnix in the episode was executed well, it might be the only or one of the very few episodes of grown up version of Alix as Bunnix. It seems like Alix got her miraculous on her own, and also helps Ladybug and Cat Noir and be on their team. What I did like about future Alix/Bunnix is how she’s brilliant, strong, mature, and reckless. The future part seems long like 5-10 years, so we know a little about future Bunnix, and if present Alix becomes Bunnix, I expect it would happen near the end of the series. Or maybe after Season 3, I don’t really know as of now. We would have to see how that turns out in later seasons. I honestly didn’t expect Alix to be eventually a superhero, and I just didn’t have any theories on the season 2-3 opening photos. So far, I did enjoy future Alix Kubdel/Bunnix very much. I would like to make an MMD model of them. Gotta find some time though.
Other things interesting are seeing future Chris and how Lila gets to babysit the kids at the end. I don’t find that much of a problem, because her main talents are lies, as shown in Oni-Chan especially. She can make lies really good, and so it’s no wonder how Lila decides to babysit. I wonder how Marinette feels about this… Although, I want to wait to see how Hawkmoth and Lila work out later in the series. Also, TimeTagger seems pretty powerful.
As much as I find TimeTagger episode very interesting, it has few issues. One would be Mr. Pigeons and Hawk Moth. He got akumatized 24 times, and Hawk Moth uses the same guy 24 times. It seems like Ramier isn’t safe in Paris, and should find a good place for him to spend time with the pigeons. He got suggested by Cat Noir to find a different kind of animal to be obsessed with. Future Alix says there is Mr. Rat in the future, and it is most likely him, so there’s no stopping him from getting akumatized many times. My other minor issue is how Cat Noir is kinda weak. Not as weak, but kinda falls a bit less helpful. Him suggesting Ramier to like a different kind of animal while staying in Paris isn’t really a good advice, given his emotional issues. Also, he would be the blame to destroy Bunnix’s watch. Still, he’s still useful, just not as strong in this one. I can give those a pass.
My main curiosity since this episode is how the future superheroes and miraculouses are gonna be handled. As much as I like the story of Bunnix in this episode and understand the mysteries on the watch, I don’t want more or all of Marinette and Adrien’s classmates to become heroes, whether temporally or permanent. I didn’t want the concept of being a hero in paris, mainly Ladybug and Cat Noir, to be less special or unique. I didn’t want all of the classmates to be heroes since it would become too predictable and lowers the concept of being unique as a civilian. I get Alya and Chloe, and also Nino. I also get Alix because of the histories of the watch, but it would be better if other future heroes are outside of most of Marinette or Adrien’s friends, or even families. It would likely suit better for newer characters later on. I wanted the future superheroes to have interesting story, and even origin, just like current six of them. We will have to wait and see how this is gonna be handled. I do enjoy seeing fan transformation of existing characters, it’s just that I’m concerned of how future heroes will be introduced, and this curiosity isn’t really directly on this episode. I get that some of you have different thoughts, and I understand.
Overall, I do like this episode so far, and I give it an 8/10. It’s a really interesting episode, and Bunnix in the future is my big highlight. Mysteries of the watch and Bunnix’s future got an interesting story. Lila and Hawkmoth’s situations are really mysterious. And knowing how Ladybug and Cat Noir are still around seems interesting. I would say it’s my favorite episode of the season so far. My actual favorite would be Evillustrator.
What I think about Alix? In the first season, she rarely talks. Only few episodes with few lines. Only Timebreaker, Alix gets enough lines and presentation. She seems okay. In the second season, she appears more often and shows that she’s Marinette’s friend, and friends with most classmates, and takes art class with Nathandel. Also, Alix is more developed since the second season. I plan to review Evillustrator and Lady Wifi, two of my other favorites. I do also plan to compare Adult Alix/Adult Bunnix with another character from a certain movie. My hint is a movie that got panned since it came out a year and a half ago, and a character had barely any purpose and not executed well.
As to advertise my video, I made my own Miraculous Ladybug MMD video (w/ Pokemon) back at Fall 2018:
