    Arcane is an animated series based on League of Legends; one of my most played videogames, which means that I had to watch it.
    So, to start things off, I wanna say that Piltover and Zaun have probably the richest lore in League of Legends' universe, and I don't think they could've chosen a better region for Arcane.

    So, to start things off, I wanna say that Piltover and Zaun have probably the richest lore in League of Legends' universe, and I don't think they could've chosen a better region for Arcane.
    However, translating the lore from the game into an animated series isn't the only thing Arcane did; it expanded and fleshed out the lore excellently.
    Aside from the lore though, Arcane has an extremely well written and thought-provoking story, accompanied by outstanding characters; Vi, Jayce and Viktor went from characters that I really like in the game to characters that I absolutely love now.
    Also, the animation is breathtaking, the music is really great, and the world building is staggering; Piltover and Zaun are so lively and well realized!
    Last but not least, I can't think of a single episode that I didn't like; literally all of the 9 total episodes range from amazing to superb.
    Does Arcane have any flaws though? Well... it ends, so I guess that kinda sucks.

    Pros:
    + Expands the lore in the best ways possible
    + Fantastic story
    + Incredible characters
    + Jaw-dropping animation and exceptional music
    + World building and details

    Cons:
    - None

    Narrative: 9/10
    Characters: 10/10
    Music: 9/10
    Animation: 10/10

    Final Rating: 10/10
    - Masterpiece -
    Riot Games and Fortiche have created a monster; Arcane is a legendary videogame adaptation and a masterpiece of an animated series.
    As a big fan of League of Legends and its lore, I simply couldn't ask for something better than Arcane; it's perfect in every conceivable way and I literally can't wait for season 2.

    Do I recommend it?:
    It doesn't matter if you're a fan of League of Legends or not, just do yourself a favor and watch it... now!    … Expand

    This is one of the best first seasons to any series. If Riot and Fortiche maintain this level of quality in storytelling, characterization, voice acting, sound design, and animation for the rest of Arcane's seasons, this will definitely fit well alongside other animated greats, such as ATLAB, Cowboy Bebop, etc.
    You don't need to be a League of Legends fan to fully enjoy season 1 of Arcane.

There is so much stuff that directly hooked me in and made this world beliveable to me from part one. Everything is created with so much love and skill, every detail nailed to the spott. Everything has a meaning, brings the story forward, even short flashbacks bring new aspects to the events and put characters in new light. Hey, we even have strong female characters and diverse characters everywhere and I don't feel like it's forced upon me. Together with the good soundtrack and magnificent art design it's a true diamond compared to the mediocre trash released today. The only thing I didn't like first was the introduction of too many characters. They all are great and have intresting stories, but I could live with one or two character arcs ended before the finale. But there is going to be a season 2, I hope, so the creators will still need them, I supose.

    I can only thank the people responsible for this and recommend the show to anyone.

Six years of work for this TV series has come to its fruition: the environments are crazy and super detailed, the characters are well written and consistent with the lore with some really emotional and sad scenes, the action scenes are directed to perfection with impressive animations. But the most important point I have to give is to the graphic style, already from the initial trailers you could see that it has been successfully executed, to adopt such a refined and particular artistic style to make excellent super fluid scenes in every situation it really shows the quality and the passion that has been given to this series and that is why it deserves all praise and merit for the work that has been done in making it. We are in front of an animation masterpiece from the very first episodes, with visuals and a beautiful story of the origins on the protagonists that really deserves every known award, I can't wait for it to be recognized so much so that we can expect future series on this universe with its characters considering how many incredible stories there are from the league of legends universe, this series could really be the beginning of the "League cinematic universe".

    Cerita dari arcane terasa padat, tidak ada satu episode yang terasa sia-sia. Main storynya adalah kisah persaudaraan dari violet dan powder, sub storynya adalah kondisi politik di Piltover. Kedua cerita tersebut dibuat terhubung dengan sangat baik.

    Overall arcane adalah salah satu series terbaik yang sudah aku tonton, arcane juga berhasil mematahkan anggapan bahwa adaptasi dari video game biasanya berakhir dengan kurang memuaskan.

    On a sea of stupid.
    We don't even NEED to, uh, "touch" on their asinine behavior.

    As for the show proper, it's gorgeous and seems to have some real emotion behind it. I'm gonna give it an 8 for now & revise after I've seen the whole season. Maybe up, maybe down, depends on the characterization & whether the art stays consistent, whether it breaks for the 4th wall to preach at us, & whether it turns into a giant ad for Riot Games.

    (My biggest worry is pure 2020: the
    Girl Who Might Be the Key To Everything
    has
    Girl Who Acts Just Like A Man SJW Hair (pink with side shaved.)
    That's never a good sign, but hopefully the show turns out to be a show not a "plaaaaaatform.")

    EDIT: solid storytelling. Raised my 8 to a 9. Netflix, wake up: this is what happens when someone who CARES about a show (& game) runs the show.

    This goes at least for the first 3 episodes; after that it gets worse with every episode due to the rushed story, the amount of unnecessary drama, the huge amount of plot armor (there are characters that survive a freaking atom explosion while everyone that's not a protagonist around them dies. cmon...) and the laughably huge amount of convenient "coincidences" that happen just so the story can progress. It's like the writers couldn't figure out how the story should progress in a natural way or just rushed the story to the end while filling the gaps with boring and forced drama. 9/10 for the first 2 episodes. 3/10 for the rest.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jinx o Jinx what an ending!
    It's an EPIC series
    The storyline,the setting,the politics with it the two cities environment and each and every characters with proper development and depth it was engaging and the whole runtime was edge of the seat fast paced awesomeness,
    the animation and soundtrack and the intro it was epic
    The action scenes were awesome the last 2 episodes action scenes specially the bar fight and the factory fight were brilliant,
    another thing in series is sudden shots of scene like the guard bombing silco was shocking but then sudeen change as a day dream it was awesome
    the starting episode was amazing as a setup its like a 7.5/10
    but then as the story goes from 3rd episode it was literally Another level Stuff
    the deaths and story were literally surprising, the 4th episode tone/time shifts seems drastic from it the meeting of catleyn and Vi there relationship it was sweet and just like this each characters journey from 2 scientists and there discovery and the invovlement in politics and treating injury of scientist, the counselors mother entry she was worst and hatable.
    the whole jouney and relationship between both sisiters were dark and tragic since 3rd episode and the meet-ups of vi and catelyn resulting in jinx getting jeleaous and having halucinations of vi leaves jinx alone it was getting intense!
    Finally the ending episode it was madness the Jinx's solving of issues and the conversation at the table was literally nuts the dish scene was surprising as hell, Jinx choosing side betw silco vs Vi and the killing of silco resulting in jinx being jinx not powder it was intensely awesome then ended with literally Madness as jinx firing of missle to counsel while they're talking peace it was literally Mind-blowing,
    Overall it was the epic series!    … Expand

    Never played League of Legends and knew nothing about the lore. But, boy, when I got to episode 3, I was hooked. This is a very touching story about two sisters struggling to find themselves again after events out of their control tear them apart. If you have Netflix, watch Arcane at your earliest convenience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Por algum tempo eu achava que arcane não merecia um 10, mas assim como toda obra prima ela vai ruminando na sua cabeça depois de você assistir e vc acaba enxergando que qualquer coisa negativa que teve na série é sobreposta pelos pontos positivos. Essa possivelmente é a melhor animação que eu já vi ou com certeza ta entre as melhores a qualidade técnica desse desenho ta impecável e não é menos do que a gente esperava depois da espera de anos para fazerem a primeira história de lol.

    Agora não só em questão de animação arcane da aula, mas também na área de roteiro e escrita das falas. Os diálogos em arcane não são forçados como vc espera de um anime por exemplo com os personagens sendo muito caricatos aqui eles falam e vc realmente acredita no mundo, o Silco é uma ótima adição na história de exemplo ele é um personagem forte com motivações fortes que esconde certos desejos que ele tem e eu posso falar isso não só dele mas de todos os personagens principais todos são interessantes e tem motivações por trás do que fazem não são unidimensionais.

    Eu tive alguns problemas com a quebra de ritmo no final do primeiro arco em que a luta ficava sendo cortada para outra cena toda hora e principalmente pelo mal uso da loucura da Jinx, como exemplo de como retratar loucura eu sempre dou o do anime/filme perfect blue que é o melhor exemplo de como fazer isso, nele vc n sabe ao certo o que ta acontecendo e o que não ta acontecendo e o filme n faz questão de explicar pq até o personagem que ta ficando louco não sabe o que é real ou n e só passando essa confusão pra gente que conseguimos entrar na pele do personagem e entender como ele ta se sentindo. Em arcane quando volta pra segunda parte a Jinx encontra uma inimiga que é muito parecida com a Vi e ai ele hesita em matar ela e a gente justamente pelo time skip não sabe como a Vi é, onde ela tá ou o que ele ta fazendo então tanto pra gente quanto pro personagem talvez fosse a Vi ou talvez fosse loucura dela, dai óbvio a Vi aparece em outras cenas e mostra que não era ela maaas o importante é vc passar a sensação de confusão mental e nessa cena eles conseguiram, infelizmente senti que no resto não conseguiram muito bem ficou muito raso a loucura do personagem parecia algo mais como só fazer ela parecer louquinha mesmo largaram de lado essa confusão mental e n sei acho que a cena final poderia ter sido muito melhor caso tivessem investido nesse aspecto da loucura dela até como vilã acho que ficaria mais interessante. Tirando isso direção no geral ou direção de arte como gostam de chamar tá incrível também as cenas tem ângulos interessantes, exemplo que me vem na cabeça é o pai das meninas sendo morto e a Vi por baixo na janela vendo e a janela mancha de sangue e a luz que entra na sala é vermelha sobre ela, cara é cada cena linda, a da Jinx com os fogos de artifício também sem palavras.

    Vou ficar eternamente esperando por mais seja dessa história ou de outras tantas que são boas também do mundo de lol assistam esse aqui n da pra deixar passar é fantástico emocionante e uma animação linda que te deixa com vontade até de jogar o jogo. Com toda certeza essa é a melhor adaptação da história de um jogo pras telas.    … Expand

    Even if you’re not a gamer, or a fan of League of Legends, Arcane will be more than entertaining enough to hold your interest, with an interesting story backed by amazing animation.

    Even if you have no interest in picking up any kind of gaming console, do yourself a favor and give Arcane a try. It has more mature storytelling and emotional resonance than many live-action shows do right now. And it deserves to be lauded as the new benchmark for what can be done when it comes to successfully translating worthy videogame universes into a different medium while refusing to dumb down or simplify complex storytelling. Arcane is a world worth getting lost within.
