    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

    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.
