Totally Spies is a French series with 7 seasons for a total of 182 episodes and 1 film by Studio Marathon.
The graphic design tends towards Japanese styles and American sitcom-style comedy. In other words, the target audience is relatively young, with consumers who don't need any particular artistic knowledge or anime culture in general, despite the many winks and references. Which explains its relative success.
This is reflected in the rather mediocre drawing, jerky animation and lack of script maturity. It's always the same type of story.
The heroines are modern, athletic, rather silly girls, enthusiastic about perilous adventures, make-up and fashion.
This series claims to be inspired by a 70s series: Charlie's Angels, but in reality, it does a poor job of copying a cult Japanese series: Cat's Eye. Which is a pity, considering the series' potential.
But unlike the Japanese, a cartoon is necessarily for kids...
