TheEven though I was vaguely familiar with League of Legends, the lore is something I have not invested any time in understanding. I was hesitant that this show would be thrown together and more of a trendy gaming show. I was wrong. The characters, the world, the story and everything in between are really well done. The voice acting is top-notch and I like how they're doing the time jumps to kind of pass the time. I'm assuming if this goes off, the next season will maybe cover new characters. At any rate, I like the animation style, which is a combination of animation and 3D rendering. Kind of like cell shading but with more of a charcoal/blended detail. At any rate, this show has been great and a very pleasant surprise. I look forward to the rest of the season.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In the first 3 episodes, Riot focused a lot on the relationships of the characters, which is clearly effective when creating emotions and helping the audience to better tune into the rhythm of the movie. However, this itself also limits a bit on the world overview in the film. Hope to see more of this world in future episodes.… Expand

I never played the game nor was interested in it. I was skeptical but once I saw the first three episodes, I was blown away. The story is deep, dark, violent, thoughtful and constructed with the utmost care by people that clearly respect the source material. Each character and its subsequent development/arc was perfectly crafted and that is not even scratching the surface. The blend of 2-D and 3-D animation with an absolute banger of a soundtrack is groundbreaking art while each charismatic character offers an entire wealth of quality that I have not seen in a while. The 3rd episode (The Base Violence Necessary for Change) was one of the greatest climax episodes of all time and the last episode (The Monster You Created) pretty much sealed that this is the greatest animated TV show of all time. It's sad that this show hasn't reached the viewing peak of let's say Squid Game or Castlevania but this show definitively outclasses everything in its remote category. Needless to say, this masterpiece reached legendary status in just 9 episodes. Whatever happens next, I will keep this show in my heart for ever.… Expand

The only gripe I have is that the writing is at times borderline incompetent. Characters make decisions that make no sense, they flip flop from goal X to goal Y with 0 motivation for the character to do so. The most frustrating moments are those when there is an obvious optimal solution and they're already on track to follow it but they switch positions so that the story can drag out which reeks of the worst writing that 90s daytime soap opera had to offer.… Expand

A narrativa foi muito bem arquitetada e as histórias selecionadas podem agradar tantos fãs do universo de Runeterra quanto a aos que estão sendo apresentados agora a esse mundo. Por fim, a música da abertura é sucinta e conseguem se encaixar perfeitamente no tema da série.

The animation is absolutely gorgeous, the score is fitting, the pacing doesn't drag at all and the characters are quite compelling, all flawed to an extent, but ultimately likeable, or at least ones you can empathize with. The story itself attempts to weave a couple of different journey's together and as of episode 6 has done a fantastic job of introducing the characters to each other. Highly recommend checking it out, if only for the beautiful artwork.… Expand

The artstyle's gorgeous - as you'd expect from a multi-billionaire company - although conversations between characters can feel somewhat overly-animated at times and lip motions have a watery feel to them. Caithlin is probably the most obvious example, where her hair and the mouth flaps have the same silky physics and her model feels a little weightless.
The 'worst' part about Arcane is obviously the music. I'm not saying it's bad, hold your pitchforks, however, there's a bit too much teen angst when the vocals kick in and it makes me feel like I'm watching an amv. I guess the show's aiming for teens and young adults, so it's only natural to add that extra funk to the action scenes, but I found myself having to mute the audio to stop cringing. I would've liked the music not to have any lyrics to it, but I'm assuming Riot chose this course of action to add it later on to vinyl and Spotify and I'm sure it will sell well.
There is also.. touching, a lot of it. I'm not trying to say that hugs and kisses are awkward, but when they happen for the 20th time it takes away from the emotional factor and their intended message gets muddied along with all the other times affection is being displayed.
The main reason why I only gave this show an 8/10 is because it's the foundation of something with lots of potential. I like the story, some of the characters deserved more development, there were too many love interests and you can pretty much cross an entire BINGO board with all the secondary characters that die along the way. I hope the writers will learn from their mistakes and continue to improve on this series, because the amount of lore they have to work with is insanely rich. It's a great watch along with friends, I saw some episodes alone for comparison, but since it's based on an online game we've been playing for over half a decade at this point, it made much more sense to me to binge watch it in a group.… Expand

But this show did everything right I miss so much in other of todays series: great sorytelling, amazing worldbuilding, fantastic characters with great character arcs. 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.

Its world oozes cool and all the emotion packed into the animation, action, and score is top-notch (specifically during the third episode).

Fans of the gameAn absolute must-watch. This isn't a cheap, fanservice-filled generic romp made only to appeal to fans of League, it is a deep, character-driven narrative supported by gorgeous animation and fantastic performances all-around. Fans of the game will love it as will people who know nothing about the game; it doesn't require any knowledge of League and it is just as, if not more enjoyable to go in completely blind. The show tackles issues of progress, the idea of science going too far, the moral conundrums of war, classism, and what it means to be family all in an extremely mature way. The characters drive the narrative and it is all the better for it: all of them are extremely compelling. The relationships between Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn, Jayce, and Viktor were the emotional core of the show for me, and their character motivations rise up, converge, and clash in a beautiful symphony of intense emotion further compounded by the amazing animation and performances. A true masterpiece of a show, and definitely the best tv/movie adaptation of a game to ever exist.… Expand

And with the conclusion… I don’t throw this term around lightly but… if someone was to call this a work of art in motion, a masterpiece… I’d have to agree. p.s.

В игре полно чемпионов мужского пола, но...но. Все главные герои это женщины. Они невероятно сексуально нарисованы, но...опять таки но. Честно мне поднадоели героические супер женщины. Если хотя бы персонажей было поровну, а то ведь ну глаз уже режет. Да яйценосцы конечно есть, но все они либо тупые рохли, либо подлецы, либо трусливые ублюдки. Ну а если мужик боле менее крут как Вандер, то живёт он не больше серии. Джейс вроде один из основных героев но и того в конце выставили слабаком.
Да, сериал для взрослых. Есть обнажёнка и постельные сцены.
Ну и куда без новомодных трендов, скорее всего во втором сезоне Кейтлин и Вай окажутся лесбиянками.
Но если последние абзацы для вас не столь важны, смотреть очень даже можно. Красота, экшен, великолепная анимация!… Expand

Por otro lado tambien podes empatizar con el otro lado de la ciudad (los millonarios) que buscan una forma de unir estos dos "pueblos".

Difrute la serie como un nene. Ame ver todas las conexiónes que esta tiene con el juego como tambien difrute entender un poco mas la historia. Si todavía no viste esta corta y hermosa historia NO SE QUE HACES.

This is a damn good one, in every way. The visuals are gorgeous. Personally, I would have preferred more realistic animation, which maybe some cinematic trailers had. I don't really like this cartoon, but I understand that it fits the League of Legends world best here. Audiovisually, it's also a blast. No one else is as associated with LOL as the musical group Imagine Dragons. I don't really like their songs either, but I feel the same way about the look. Nothing would be as fitting as that. The story surprised me the most though. It was great. We follow the storyline of several characters here, but I found Vi and Jinx to be the most central, and I devoured their moments. I would also like to mention the villain Silco, who was also excellent. But without a doubt, I was most impressed by Jinx herself. Her moments were by far the best for me. Both in story and visuals, as her moments sometimes had such interesting, almost like scribbled drawings. It reminded me a little bit of Harley Quinn. I liked it. On top of all that, there are a bunch of references that I didn't notice at first. To sum it all up. I'm not at all surprised at how much praise this series is getting and how popular it has become over the last while. It does everything absolutely right and for fans of the game, this has to be an orgasm. I'll take LOL as a good game, but I'm not a huge fan. I did like the series though. On the one hand, I'm not as knee-jerk about it as most people are. Maybe the bigger a fan of the game you are, the more of an Arcane experience you'll have. Overall, if I had to sum it up objectively with a dash of subjectivity, it is an amazing series, but one that I would still only recommend to League of Legends players. I believe that the series will appeal to a lot of non-players LOL, but it won't excite them as much as fans of the game in my opinion.… Expand

El uso del sonido también es espectacular en todo momento, al igual que el doblaje (yo la vi en inglés pero he leído que en español también es muy bueno).
La acción está muy bien hecha, súper dinámica, los movimientos de "cámara" son una gozada, el uso de la pausa que hacen, de los movimientos a cámara lenta... sublime.
Quizás la historia principal es más simple de lo que me gustaría, por buscarle algún punto negativo, pero luego, las tramas secundarias son muy interesantes y complementan muy bien.

· Cosas buenas: todo lo visual, tanto la animación, el dibujado... Los personajes están muy bien construídos, en especial Jinx (Powder), y por último, lo que más choca, es la ambición que tienen, va más allá en todo momento, no se conforma, y eso es para aplaudir.
· Cosas malas: peca a veces de algunos clichés narrativos, nada que no haga todo el mundo, y luego, Silco, el villano, quizás es demasiado arquetípico, lo dicho, la trama principal es simplona, pero las secundarias la complementan muy bien.
· Conclusión: para alguien como yo, que no le fascina la animación, ha sido una serie brutal, estaba perplejo en todo momento y me ha encantado, sin duda, de las mejores de este año, ya no solo de animación, en general. Gozadla.… Expand

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

The art is just chef kiss, my lord its justThis show is enjoyable and fun ride, the characters are deep and with clear and understandable, or rather relatable motive and their decision, the music is fcking slap man the OST is insane.

The art is just chef kiss, my lord its just gorgeous to see, the frame is smooth as butter, the character expression is 10/10, the emotion feels like a real human, it almost make me think that the animation is made from motion capture, but if its not, then DAMN MAN, give the animator a raise.

The OST is also a banger, no music / OST that felt out of place, the music give the right feeling to the right scene, also i found it funny where ome scene become a music video, its riot after all, but the music video enhance the scene not ruin it.

Character as i said, have clear motive, or relatable motive, and every character isnt this pure white of righteous or pure evil, characters make mistakes and questionable act, just like human would, although this quality for each character gets hurt by screen time.


Pacing is also good, not slow but sometimes, some relationship between character happen too quickly, some are okay but could have been extended a bit more to give the attachment

My problem with arcane is that, it tells the story from many, perhaps too many, perspective, and the screen time doesnt make up to it, it's a fast-paced story and i dont have any problem with that, the cuts from one perspective to other is very well done and for me, i can keep up with many perspective and different problem that the characters faces but, With time constraints for a character perspective or event before it got transition into other character, i dont develop feeling and attachment to the character, the focus is just too scatter from one another to make me care about their success and their failure.
but there is tension and this show doesnt afraid to injure, torture, and kill their character.

About killing a character, most people already know that some of the character in arcane are champions / playable character in league of legends, and those character basically have plot armor in arcane, they cannot die, and that remove the tension knowing that certain character just will not die because they simply exist in league, side character are different tho, there are some of them die, some of them live, so the tension in term of surviving is on the side character, honestly (although, there's some exception to that *totally not warwck)

I hope riot would eventually kill a champion in the next season or future show, and make the league of legends summoner's rift basically like valhalla, where there's daily-battle and the participant are dead hero or brave human and when they die, they respawn, but league can put a twist to the participant, that is, the participant can be an alive person, or a dead one. I'm no expertise in league's lore idk about summoner's rift significance as a place or why the champion even fight for on there, but that is my idea to eliminate the plot armor that league champion has on arcane and future show.



In conclusion: Story is engaging, tension is somewhat hit or miss, attachment and relatability for me is a miss, could be patched with more screentime for each character rather than make it limited to 40 minute of each episode, i know making more than 9 episode is an additional expense, but for me, the screen time isnt enough to satisfy and make me attached.

Watch the first 3 episode of arcane, if you like it overall, watch the rest. oh yeah and if you like arcane, do not play league of legend, server sucks, client sucks, champion balance sucks, overloaded kits for newer champions, just dont.… Expand

Arcane is a show I decided to watch, knowing literally nothing about the show itself (Although, I used to play League of Legends, years back - Ultimately, that isn't so much an advantage, as a disadvantage, because you pretty much know who is certainly going to live).

My expectations were based entirely on the clip shown on Netflix, when hovering over Arcane - Some bad-guy spewing some cliched dialogue about "power". Decided to give it a try: If it sucked, I could always just stop watching.

However, I didn't stop watching - I was immediately amazed by the animation, and it's style. The whole thing looks like a painting, that has come alive. But the colors are bright and extremely colorful.

The show pulled no punches, right from the very first scene. It portrayed a brutal world, where no one was safe. The stakes were real, and the characters were convincing and relatable. The good guys had to fight dirty to even survive, in this grim world - And it's seen as fair, because the stakes - Again, are real. In this world, everyone has to do what they can, to make it.

There are so many themes in this show: Duality, being one of the big ones. Every single character has another to mirror themselves in - Many of them even have multiple. The duality doesn't just stop with the characters, though - It continues through places, through themes, through time, and through emotions and scenes.

Arcane quickly gets you invested, and the plot quickly gets off the ground, and diverts to many different characters, at different places and social situations.

The voice acting is top notch. Maybe with the exception of a single character, I honestly can't say a single bad thing about it, at all. It's quite impressive.

A big portion of the cast is female, and unlike many other shows and movies (Including a lot of Disney products, sadly), there isn't some message shoved down the viewers throat, based on gender or social politics. There are strong female characters, and they are realistically written: With strengths and weaknesses, with passions and fears, with hopes and dreams. Some of which could be great role models for young women or girls, and some who aren't - Exactly how it should be. THIS is how you write characters (You could really learn quite a bit from Arcane, Disney).

The story is unpredictable and it grips you, deeply. You quickly care about what happens, because the show makes you care about the characters - They don't just act like characters in a show - They act, talk, think and feel like REAL people. You might not agree with them, or their methods, but you get where they are coming from, or what they are trying to accomplish - It's relatable, because they are so human (Even the antagonist(s)).

Arcane's action is also another highlight of the show. You can feel the force behind the attacks: The energy and the emotion. The choreography is brilliant, and so is the camera-work, doing these intense action scenes.

Another thing to say is, that Arcane's music is AMAZING: Every single song (With one except), was written specifically for this show, AND on top of that, it beautifully mixes classical music (Traditionally seeing in soundtracks), with pop-music. Every time a song plays, it's there to set the tone, metaphorically tell what's going on through the lyrics, or simply through the melody. The music does all of these things perfectly.

If I had to describe Arcane is just 3 words, it would be: "Masterpiece", "Spectacular", and "Awe-Inspiring". All in all, Arcane is not just a brilliant show, with absolutely STUNNING animation, great story, amazing music, and compelling characters: It's a show that redefines what entertainment should be. Over 55% of all the people who have watched this show, have given it 10/10 - THAT should tell you something. Arcane is, without exaggeration: One of the best shows, I ever ever watched. One of the best animated things, I have ever watched. Has one of the best music soundtracks, I have ever heard. Has some of the best animation, I have ever seen. Has some of the best voice acting, I have ever heard.



People have gotten mental over this show - They have made videos analyzing everything about this show: The music, the character, the trailers, whole episodes, dialogue, or even specific scenes. There is made reaction videos, videos with compilations of reactions, deep-dives, memes, fan-fiction, fan versions of the music, cosplays, etc etc, you name it.

If you have a friend, who keeps nagging you about watching this show, then it's for a good reason - If you haven't watched Arcane (Season 1) yet, you're not just missing out - You're doing yourself a HUGE disservice: Get to it already! You might not give a 10/10, like me and many many others, but I can bloody well guarantee, that you'll at least enjoy it! It's just 6 hours, too! Why haven't you watched it, yet? Put it on now, and watch episode 1-3 - You won't be able to stop watching, by then.… Expand

I repeat, like many others, the series can be watched without at least some knowledge of the League of Legends universe, perceiving it as an independent work."Outstanding" is not enough to describe and it will not be enough to call it a masterpiece, this is what torments my heart, and sometimes compresses it, not even allowing me to take a breath. Well, you will have an orgasmic eye, not only from the proctically impossible level of drawing fights, but also from scenes that perfectly balance with them, I'm talking about spacious landscapes that are copied from the canvases of the gallery. The first thing that comes to mind when you mention the animation "Spider-Man: Through the Universes" and "Love, Death and robots", but in the Arcane it jumps to a new level, bringing animation to a step higher, although this is not surprising "Arcane" was created for 6 years, "Spider-Man: Through the Universes" 2.5 years, and the episode "Love, death and robots" 'Witness' Albert Mjelgo and his team did 1 year.… Expand

It was awesome, but it could have stepped on the brakes a more often. Take time for the character development. Explore this Steampunk world.
