It’s clearly anime and manga influenced, yet quite distinctive and different from those styles and
genre-mediums. They all have realistic backgrounds, use a lot of perspective and stylistic
character design. There are a lot of angles and sharp edges in the clothing and character design,
and fashion savvy costumes; vibrant color scheme and color composition. Their production
values are profound, cinematic, and high standard, much like anime.
French Animation and Co-Productions:
The French TV animation market was built on co-productions. French animation on TV is very co-production friendly. It’s the entire market. The concepts of co-production and French animation are interchangeable.
So why are so few TV shows available in America on DVD. This one's, that aspect of it, is a mystery to me.
The French television animation style is actually a very distinctive style of Western animation.
