We already know we love Miraculous Ladybug, but when we’re waiting for a new episode—or let’s be real, the rest of the season to finally drop—we might want something else to binge. So here are 12 shows like Miraculous Ladybug that you’ll certainly love!
12. RWBY
RWBY has a slightly more serious tone and centers around a group of young heroes learning to protect their world from monsters. The animation style is unique, and the action scenes are really exciting.
It’s kind of like Miraculous Ladybug because it’s not just about “big hero moments”—there’s also a lot of focus on personal stories, growth, and how the characters become a team.
11. LoliRock
If you enjoy the magic and friendship in Miraculous Ladybug, LoliRock is a fun one to try. It follows Iris, a girl who dreams of singing but ends up discovering she’s actually a magical princess. Along with her friends, she fights evil while juggling her normal life and her music career.
The animation is bright and colorful, and the music is super catchy. All in all, LoliRock has that same mix of action, charm, and heart that makes Miraculous so lovable.
10. Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is a post-apocalyptic animated series that follows Kipo, a young girl who lives in a world overrun by mutated animals. As she searches for her father, she discovers her own strengths and forms bonds with diverse companions.
The show’s colorful animation, infectious music, and themes of acceptance and self-discovery really match the feel-good vibe of Miraculous Ladybug. Kipo’s journey of learning, growing, and staying strong gives fans a new perspective that’s both fun and uplifting to watch.
9. Avatar: The Last Airbender
Avatar: The Last Airbender is an epic tale of Aang, the last Airbender, who must master all four elements to bring peace to a war-torn world. While its scope is grander than Miraculous Ladybug, both shows share themes of destiny, responsibility, and the challenges of growing up.
The series has an incredible world and characters who face some really tough choices, but at its core, it’s a universal coming-of-age story that Miraculous Ladybug fans will definitely love.
8. W.I.T.C.H.
W.I.T.C.H. is a French-American animated series that centers on five girls—Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin—who are chosen to be the Guardians of the Veil, each wielding a unique elemental power.
Juggling magic and regular life isn’t easy, and this show gets that—just like Miraculous Ladybug. It’s a fun mix of fantasy and personal moments, with characters who grow and friendships that feel real. If you’re looking for something that has the same kind of charm, this is a great pick.
7. Code Lyoko
A French animated series, Code Lyoko follows a group of students who discover a virtual world threatened by an evil artificial intelligence named X.A.N.A. They must enter this digital realm to combat the threats while maintaining their school life.
Code Lyoko has that same vibe as Miraculous Ladybug, where the characters are just regular teens by day but have to fight big, crazy dangers when duty calls—just like Marinette and Adrien. Plus, the mix of 2D and 3D animation looks really cool, and the way the story focuses on teamwork and tough choices makes it stand out.
6. Sailor Moon
Sailor Moon is the quintessential magical girl anime that set the standard for the genre. It follows Usagi Tsukino, a clumsy yet kind-hearted teenager who transforms into Sailor Moon to fight evil forces.
Just like Marinette, Usagi’s got a lot on her plate—between saving the world and handling school and friendships, she’s always balancing it all. So if you love how Miraculous Ladybug mixes everyday life with superhero action, Sailor Moon totally gives you that same nostalgic, magical vibe.
5. Winx Club
An old childhood favorite that takes you back to Saturday morning cartoons and ultimate girl power. Similar to Miraculous Ladybug, it has strong female (and male!) characters that magic to grow as people and defeat their foes.
Winx Club is set in a vast universe that has several dimensions. Most episodes take place in the Magic Dimension, which is closed off to ordinary people and inhabited by creatures from European mythology like fairies, witches, and monsters.
4. Wakfu
Wakfu is a worthy recommendation as well. It’s a French animated fantasy/action/adventure show with romance. It can have slow bits (especially in the beginning), but the latter half and second season/OVAs are very enjoyable.
Fair warning, though…don’t watch the English dub. French is great, but the English version just sounds odd.

3. Teen Titans
Teen Titans is about a group of young superheroes—Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven, and Cyborg—who team up to protect their city and face off against some pretty dangerous villains.
If you’re looking for superhero shows, Teen Titans (the original series) is always a good recommendation, and it has a bit of romance as well. I was obsessed as a young teen with the original. We don’t think about the new remake they did and prefer to remember the team as they are.
2. Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia
If you like 3d animation style that’s similar to Miraculous Ladybug, you’ll probably like Trollhunters. It follows the story of James “Jim” Lake Jr., a teenage boy who finds a mysterious amulet and stumbles across a secret realm inhabited by trolls and other magical creatures. Soon afterward, he and his friends are charged with protecting the world from the dangerous monsters that lurk in the shadows of their small suburban town.
The story was continued in a science fiction-inspired follow-up series entitled 3Below: Tales of Arcadia, and the trilogy concluded in a third and final fantasy series entitled Wizards: Tales of Arcadia.
1. Star vs. the Forces of Evil
Star vs the Forces of Evil is a nice Western magical girl show, BUT if you’re not a fan of love triangles, you might not like it. The lore & whatnot in the show is good, and if you’re wanting something to start with, it can be a good starting point.
The show follows Butterfly, a teenage princess from another dimension who’s sent to Earth to learn how to control her powerful magic. She’s not exactly the most careful with her wand, though, which leads to a lot of chaotic (and hilarious) adventures.
