The visuals are impressive, since LD&R I wished for someone to make something similar than Sonnie's Edge as a feature film or series. The voice actors give the characters life and emotion, the music and sound fx are of high quality. But the story does not get off the ground. There's action and there is emotion and there seem to be emotional bonds between characters that we don't get to know much about and factions we don't get to know much about and it leaves the audience with a lot of guessing. Arcane is sadly the animated equivalent of a Michael Bay movie. All looks but no substance. Expand

Some of the most stunning artwork put to film accompanies an emotionally complex tale that takes the medium to new heights. Rating it a 10 doesn't make it perfect, but if this is the future of video game adapted television, count me in.

If that didn't work, nothing else would. The animation goes a long way in conveying their attitudes and motivations but if the writing was weak then it would all have been for nothing. The characters act so natural in their individual personalities and mannerisms while living in a world where people actually work, sweat, hope, sleep, fight, swear, fall in love, bleed, **** cry, die and make both irrational and rational decisions and at no point is the viewer constantly asking, "But why didn't they just do this?" because their actions always seem consistent with their characters. Early on a character hears another say something that turns into a misunderstanding but it isn't used as a lazy plot device - they resolve it almost immediately after because of course they would. Later another character seemed set up for being pulled so far into politics that he forgets his friend but NOPE - he actually stands with said friend in defying a superior, who himself is also guided by understandable motives and wisdom (but also a stagnated worldview) as afforded by his extended longevity compared to humans. The characters are doing the best they can within their respective circumstances and for the most part are making decisions based on what they think is right and not going out of their way to be **** But despite all of that, they still have conflicts because that's how the world actually works. Most wars don't happen because one side is moral and the other malicious, they happen because people have divergent interests and interpretations of right and wrong. And Arcane actually gets that. This is one of the greatest tales of our generation, maybe ever. Expand

A true masterpiece;
Finished the season last night with my partner and we were blown away by the show, the ending made our jaw dropped. League fans for many years asked for a animated series exploring Runeterra and my did they delivered. As you would know by now that Riot always does a great job at building hype and create events, they smashed it out of the park with this first season show which made all the hype well worth while. Music was amazing in and outside of the show, the music is very Amazing lore, story telling, it's got a great narrative on a dark setting that gets switched on and off throughout the show. Moments makes you connect with the characters and how story builds up along with it. The city of Zaun & Piltover was amazing to explore you could feel the tension between the two cities where the rich and poor have hot blood with each other, as Legends of Runeterra player I very much expected the cities to look like it does in the show but they went further and beyond with the art style, I was so stunned by such a style to look good as a show and there were lots of details of the art they portray it with. I wish I can give it more stars because it was a roller-coaster of emotions and they pulled off plot twists extremely well, there was many of times where I would predict what would happen as it builds up but something unexpected always happen and it puts you in motion. You don't need to play the games to understand it because the story is so good that any average viewer can understand and get easily hooked, if you played their games then lucky you it makes the experience much better! there were a lot of new characters and old characters that we may be familiar with and all of them felt like they had good purpose to be on the screen, there were no characters besides Silco that annoyed me in a way. The cast choice was something I was skeptical about it before I started watching the show but they couldn't of chosen anyone better other than the game voice actors, you could just really connect with the characters even if you don't like their persona because they still serve a purpose of being in the show. I give this show a masterpiece 10/10! just god tier story telling.

El mundo de Arcane (el cual proviene del juego League of Legends) es tan abundante en elementos dramáticos que haber elegido a Jinx (Powder) y a Ví (Violet) como protagonistas seguramente habrá sido una decisión difícil (pero inteligente). La historia es muy buena si, pero no sé queda ahí, las expresiones de esta serie animada es tan buena que uno puede sentir las emociones de una manera profunda, los diseños de los personajes son tremendos y los escenarios son una maravilla.
Esta serie es completamente recomendable si quieres adentrarte en un mundo de magia y fantasía con una atmósfera que lucha entre la Luz y la cruda oscuridad.

What I got exceeded my wildest dreams -- Arcane is a beautifully animated show that has a vibrant world of believable characters who range from happy-go-lucky to heartbreakingly tragic and everything in between. The show had me laughing, angry, and crying at different points because some scenes hit like a freight truck with their delivery; I can't recommend this show enough. Whether or not you've played League of Legends, you should watch Arcane. I promise you won't be wasting your time. I'm really excited to see what Riot is able to do with this IP in the future, at the very least I'm counting the days until we see an MMO in this setting and of course more Arcane. Expand

Loving the animation style. And it's an interesting story that keeps you mostly engaged.
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.

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

After today, I'm pretty convinced it's just a good show. 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

I just wished they released the entire show in one go so I could binge watch the entire thing! This show definitely topped the Dota anime from last year which was above average but not anything id watch again. This show however might be the best thing released in 2021 along with the final season of Castelvania! Expand

XD Please do not care about those comments, if they are at least trash talk, hoping to find some better opinions why they write it's negative for them. Even though it's just act 1 of 3 right now, the series got a big WT- moment once you've watched episode 3, leaving you behind with a mouth wide open. Expand

Particularmente Não costumo gostar do estilo de arte escolhido para a série, mas aqui ele foi utilizado com maestria criando literalmenre pinturas para marcar acontecimentos importa na narrativa. A animação é bastante fluída e deixa claro as intenções e personalidade dos personagens através da expressões faciais e corporais, ponto onde mesmo grandes produções acabam pecando.
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.
Apenas não darei nota máxima pois a história não coloca o Heimerdinger como o demônio da quinta camada do inferno que ele é.

The cinematography or the camera work looks fantastic, it looks like you are actually watching from a film. The "production design" looks gorgeous, you can see how each place has its own characteristics. The pacing was just enough for the story to tell itself.

In the span of three episodes, they deliver wonderful worldbuilding for a person who knows nothing of the lore. Characters act naturally to their personality and attitude. You'd begin loving them with their development. You also sympathize with why certain characters reacted or did in the show. You'd feel bad to them and hope they wished for the best but fate turned them for the worst. Damn it, I can't wait for next week and the next next week.

Although, as much as I loved the third episode (the ending also broke me), there were some rushed moments and it could have added a few more seconds, but holy moly the battle choreography was a spectacle to watch. Hoping to see more on the upcoming six episodes!

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

PS: Don't pay attention to the bad reviews, you can clearly tell by what they wrote that most of them are Dota fanboys that are still butthurt that LoL show is good and cannot live with the fact that other games produce good shows too. It's so funny how one guy said "don't watch this watch Dota Dragon's Blood" and then said "I totally don't like dota tho"

Arcane is not just a game, It is a quest, and so far a great story (No Spoilers)

If you are looking for a good story and a little escape, this story is for you. What makes this great storytelling so far is that the writers and directors allowed viewers to dive into cause and effect. Instead of having viewers watch annoying flashbacks in a lazy attempt to connect us with the characters. You become attached to the characters and their stories before the journey begins. Episode one gives insight into the world of the lead characters and allows you to witness their trauma. Each episode gives you a sense that something is lurking, that something more is coming. These first episodes of Arcane are like a Charms BlowPop. Outside has color and taste, while the center (once you get there) has a little bonus for the time and effort. There are beautiful dark rich colors that help to convey the mood in every scene. Just like a video game, the story keeps moving, but unfortunately, you have to go where the storyteller takes you. I say this is unfortunate because you get the urge to stick with a character whose story has grabbed you at that moment. When the first forty minutes are over, you quickly click next in a rush to continue the story.

For harsher critics of Arcane, I say it is time to raise the bar. If you are going to ask viewers to go along for the ride, let it be with stories like Arcane. I went along for the ride with Midnight Mass, and that was a hellish nightmare of monologues. A cheap flat sucker lollipop with obviously nothing in the middle given to you at the end of a long and painful Doctor's visit.

I'm enjoying this story and each of the characters, especially the villain. It made me think back to when I played video games. My favorite game growing up was fantasy games. Arcane is a well-written, dark, gritty fantasy with brief flashes of bright shining light. A light that only serves to remind you that the darkness and the journey are far from over. I think you will enjoy what I believe is an exciting start to the story of Arcane and the League of Legends.

Thanks for taking the time to read this brief review

I am a player of the game it comes from and familiar with the characters. That doesn't cloud my perspective on it, though there is some thrill in seeing those characters in a new format. The show would just be that much worse if the characters were ones we had never heard of.

The plot is a normal plot, and very middle of everything. It's not very heroic, not very slice of life, not very sci-fi-fantasy, not romantic or cute. It focuses a lot on the emotions of the characters, their personal gripes about each other, and their traumas. The action scenes echo this, there is some fighting, but mostly running and hiding. All that stuff seems to be ultra popular in American film, and it is definitely dull material we've all seen before.

There are other story elements and other characters, but they all feel in the same vein. Everything plays out about like you'd expect. Nothing surprising goes on, no one will be offended by the content, no risk was taken with this project. Blame the investors maybe. I think that may be one of the biggest problems for the show, what age group do they make it for? All ages? It may be just crushed under the weight of trying to be everything to every one.

Character portrayal is weird. Take Jinx, is she heroic? No. She's more setting up to be villainous. But the main theme for her so far is being a shame filled screw up. It's not interesting, and leaves a bad taste.

The graphical look is, how do I say this, good enough. Sometimes the surfaces and painted designs are very cool, sometimes they look like smudgy Deviant Art pieces. The animators do a great job, but it's only as good as the material. The voice actors are top notch I'm sure but they often sound like they don't care about the words they're saying. The dialog just isn't inspiring.

Well a 4 isn't a 1, it was serviceable and you will appreciate that at least it got a unique look and feel. There's plenty of special effects, explosions, and big scenes. I found the music to not fit at all (the music with vocals I mean) but it will be popular with many. And if the coming episodes cast the show in a better light I'll change the review. One more thing, if you want an idea of what an actually good League show might be like, check out the Awaken video. Ciao gamers.

I also want to urge people to look at review dates. Nov 7, 2021 was the pre release on Twitch and every streamer that was allowed to restream it had a deal with riot, there was not 1 critical call on AYNTHING, everything was "perfect, beautiful, and STUNNING" These are the words that are thrown around on early reviews aswell.

As a fan of the game and its lore, this TV series is the pinnacle of quality of what fans could expect from Riot, the coolest animated TV series ever created. 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". Congratulations to Riot for the high quality of this work. Expand
