SHADOWMOTH HAS A BRAIN?
leonardoflribeiro22 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This episode is by far one of the best episodes season 4 has brought to us, comparing to previous ones, I think only Truth, Lies, Gang of Secrets, Psychomedian(it doesn't reach the others but its still very good), Gabriel Agreste are on It's level, it focused on the plot and let people around the globe feeling dumb next to Gabriel Agreste.

I loved that Style Queen and Mayura hade returned, they're one of my favorite villains; LadyBee's design is gorgeous, absolutely stunning; the animation is great; the plot; Nathalie being the villain with brain; Shadowmoth's plan was genious, I felt dumb seeing it in action; Optigami is cute; Sentimonsters can use Miraculous; Adrien's expressions arc just keeps going; everything

I just didn't like Marinette being all clumsy around Adrien just because he's Adrien; the fact that the heroes wanted to transform after seeing the Optigami; the didn't told us how can Kwamis talk throughout the phone; and the fact that Mari gave Alya the miraculous permanently, like after what happened in the tower, was the moment for you to don't gave her more the miraculous, but okay.

Far Better Than the Beginning of Season Four
sofiaulrikson31 May 2021
( * This review was written when only Truth, Lies, Gang of Secrets, Mr. Pigeon 72, Guiltrip, Furious Fu, Sole Crusher, Queen Banana, and Optigami had been released. )

Optigami is by far the best of season four thus far. Previously released episodes of the season have been passable at best, but this episode feels much more like an episode from the show's richest season than an episode from its worst. Sure, the animation is less vibrant and clean, as it lacks the usual bounciness and color as of before, and the dialogue remains forced and unnaturally robotic. However, in what this episode is trying to do, it passes the bar excellently.

It is by no means the show's magnum opus, but the tone of the episode, and the high frequency of multiple events flowing seamlessly after each other in just 20 minutes, makes Optigami such a brilliantly exciting episode. This is what season four should be.

ShadowMoth (well, actually Nathalie) finally had a more-than-decent plan! I was genuinely excited when Nathalie explained the purpose of her sentimonster, and my mind genuinely kept thinking "now they've won; Ladybug and Chat Noir are done for" throughout the entire episode.

Where they lack in animation and dialogue writing, they make up for in plot, characters, and intrigue. I wonder (without spoiling anything) how the show will progress after this one...
