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

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. I don’t know anything about the game, and don’t have to, imo, this is god tier craftsmanship [even though “Enter the Spiderverse” did it first], and I’m thankful that I had the opportunity to experience it.… Expand

Герои очень колоритные, красивые, им сопереживаешь.
Мне понравилась история, конечно нужен ещё сезон. Я к сожалению не поклонник League of Legends, но всё же удивился когда в мульте Вай и Джинкс оказались сёстрами.
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

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredible animation! Mediocre story telling. Bad pacing. Not the worst but far from perfect. I do see potential in Season 2 but seeing how long it took them to animate this who really knows when that will happen. They're REALLY gonna have exploit the labor of their animators, way more than we see Piltover exploit Zaun. Which is to say not that much. I also didn't like the jarring time jump after episode 3. I would have really liked to see HOW all of these characters become the bad asses they are for the next 6 episodes. Maybe then I would better understand the father daughter relationship between Jinx and Silco who are the shows best characters but still don't get enough focus. Speaking of characters Jayce is boring. His arc is "I wanna help people" we never really see him help people. He makes the mysterious crystals that we don't really know much about and it seems to have advanced technology but that's about it. I could nitpick SO much more but at the end of the day I think this is somewhat better than a lot of other fantasy stories and the animation alone almost makes it worth sitting through. So if you like it, more power to you. Have your cup of tea. Just don't be shook by criticism about the writing because it's ripe for it.… Expand

I was so so wrong.As someone who went in knowing absolutely nothing about League of Legends other than the fact it was a MOBA game, I expected it would be hard for me to get into this series in spite of the glowing reviews it has received. I was so so wrong. Arcane is a masterwork of fantastic and extremely unique animation, characters, and story. Its world oozes cool and all the emotion packed into the animation, action, and score is top-notch (specifically during the third episode). While the licensed songs thrown in can feel a little odd at points and sometimes the elements surrounding Jinx in particular are a bit over-the-top, those are the only flaws surrounding this fantastic series that I'm very much looking forward to seeing progress in its second season.… Expand

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

cada plano tiene un significado y una dualidad, la Composición visual y estética es de lo mas perfecto y hermoso que esta en la tv, sin mencionar sus personajes grises como en The Wire. la serie trata muchos temas de los que The Wire trato con mas profundidad y complejidad antes, como la desigualdad social, la gente poderosa que se ata de manos para intentar conseguir justicia. es una simplemente toda una experiencia sentarse a disfrutar cada plano, como dicen por hay, cada plano podría ser un wallpaper. pensaba que por ser animada y de un juego no podría ser madura, pero me equivoque la serie va mas allá, abarca muchas cosas de la sociedad. sin mencionar que en general tiene una escritura brillante, y un excelente guion repartido en 3 actos durante los 9 Capítulos, ahora es increíble su animación, detalles, paralelismos, planos secuencia, transiciones, los gestos de los personajes e incluso en ocasiones los fotogramas que estan para darle muchas interpretaciones al espectador. sin mencionar su Soundtrack que en ocasiones esta acompañado de violines que sirven para mostrar el declive o surgimiento de algo nuevo en el personaje, sin mencionar sus secuencias musicales que desde Breaking Bad, Los Soprano o Game of Thrones no había mirado algo así. o su grandiosa intro con la Canción que fue hecha para la serie, en fin solo digo que los que no la han visto, y sienten prejuicios, pues están en un grave error, por que la serie esta a un nivel increíble....… 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.

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

Les personnages sont des clichés ambulants, l’espèce d’intrigue à tiroirs croule sous les poncifs les plus éculés et surtout, la prétention de la réalisation est palpable à tous les niveaux et tous les égards : une telle prétention n’arrange pas les affaires et aggrave encore davantage les dégâts !

Des effets de manches qu’on voit venir à des kilomètres, un caractère hautement prévisible de ce qui va suivre (et ne manque jamais d’arriver) et bien entendu de la guimauve à deux balles (et en solde) aussi superfétatoire que creuse. Il reste la technique assez maîtrisée certes mais au service d’un monde steampunk décidément désagréable et d’une patte graphique non moins désagréable qui fait penser aux Dishonored (et c’est déshonorant).

Je me suis rapidement emmerdé d’épisode en épisode et au quatrième, toute cette ‘dramaturgie’ de supermarché forcée et stérile, toujours au premier degré bien sûr, a eu raison de ma patience. Tout sonne faux et archi-faux là-dedans, à tel point que même l’action parvient à nous ennuyer.

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

Visually, this is the next stage in the evolution of animation. Musically, its very poppy and not to everyone's tastes, but they utilize it to their advantage in setting the tone and feel very well.

The thing that really carries it over the top though is the writing and the fact that they use every little trick in the book to make their world and story come alive: Showing incredible restraint in the pacing and story (the whole first season is basically a prologue that takes place in one little corner of the League universe), respecting the tone, source material and their characters (giving all of them room to breathe, not leaning to heavily in on fan service or giving some characters more attention simply because they're more important to the games).

If you don't know the games, you can't even tell who is and isn't a champion because they all feel like they should be.

Apparently this took them 6 years to get off the ground and most of that time was spent searching for the talent to fulfil their vision. This is what worries me going forward. 6 years is a long time to sit on an idea and tweak it to your hearts content: its why Fury Road ended up as good as it did, because it kept seeing delay after delay and so the writer had time to re-think and re-write the story and action until it was as perfect as an action movie can be.

My concern is that the series now has a lot to live up to and the pressure of delivering more content (and thus profit) now that they've got the ball rolling, and if it isn't given the time to breathe and refine like Season 1 did, it could burn out, fumble and drop off a cliff. This kind of thing has happened time and again with Game of Thrones, the Star Wars Sequels and many, many video game franchises.

Please do not rush this Riot! you've struck Platinum with this show and if you just give the artists and writers the time and space they need, Arcane has the potential to become the next big cultural touchstone and stand the test of time.… Expand

1: Animation (5/5)
At first I thought it was weird because it was, well kinda original. But in the first twenty minutes I got used to it and watching more I found that this animation style really matched well with the environment and mood. And the original that I thought it was weird at the start is a huge plus now.

2: Plot (5/5)
Being honest I'm a gamer so I pretty much knew about the whole story, but this was the same feeling I got with the Joker movie (we all know who is the bad guy and yet we got surprised and hooked by the story). Oh, and there was a lot of details and things that aren't present in the game's lore and its all awesome!

3: Characters (5/5)
Though the plot is centered around Vi and Jinx, all the side characters are charismatic and feel damn alive! As I said I won't talk spoilers here but you can be sure that there is a lot of characters development in all kinds (physical, emotional, personality and etc). But of course the best development is Jinx.

4: Sound (3/5)
Well, I just watched the series and though the soundtrack is good I can't remember any sound besides the opening. So yeah, for me it's only ok.

Conclusion:
In the end the honest review rating isn't 10 between 9 and 10 I want to give it a 10. Its sure is a masterpiece and I am really dying to see second season or other adaptations from the games lore. You will really find it at least good so rest assured, make some popcorns and enjoy the show!… Expand

Sometimes it works well, sometimes itI wavered between a 6 or 7 but ultimately the dull writing pushed me to a 6. First, what I liked -- the animation style is pretty interesting, computer animated but given a 2D hand-drawn shader treatment. Sometimes it works well, sometimes it looks kind of bad, but I like seeing the medium being pushed into new directions. Still, I have to wonder, if you want it to look hand-drawn, why not hire actual artists to draw it? I would probably prefer the result even more. Just look at Japanese anime to see how well a predominantly hand-drawn medium can still incorporate cell-shaded 3D artwork in a seamless fashion. I also liked the character design, liked the background design, too. The music mostly worked for me, too, although I agree with others that it could be cringey at times. I will also say that to some extent the plot and the characterization worked for me, too. However, despite the excellently choreographed fight scenes that occasionally took place, the story was a bore. Character complications developed, and then just didn't really go anywhere, except to more character complications. There was never any character arc leading to resolutions. It was a series where the "bad guys" pretty much won all the time, and it got old. I've never played LoL, but having read some of the other comments and gathered that these are characters from the game whose backgrounds are being explained, I think I see the fundamental problem with this series: it's not meant to go anywhere. These are supposed to just be character creations fleshed out for players of the game, who then play these characters in the LoL world. The stories of these characters are ongoing in the game -- there has been no resolution in-game, either, I guess. So basically, if you want to watch a story that has some feeling of progression and dramatic resolution, you just aren't going to get it here. It instead feels like a drawn out bore of a soap opera, where the goal is to string you along and keep you watching inifinitely long, not to actually trace any story arcs. So it was a real struggle for me to make it through this first season, but like a sucker I kept going, thinking somehow the story would start to pick up. And it just never did. I'd also add another complaint: the magic is pretty boring. It never really gets developed much but pretty much stays mostly as a method for creating super powerful batteries for machines, with a few minor exceptions. That was something else I kept waiting to develop in an interesting direction and it never had any payoff. So, yeah, mostly a bunch of characters running around, whining about their problems, making bad decisions that cause their problems to grow even bigger, and not really doing anything interesting, with a bunch of good artwork and voice acting that can't really overcome a fundamentally futile goal of making these in-game characters' origins into satisfying stand-alone stories.… 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

Have the plot & journey to have some meaningful impact on the audience. It' starts with good writing which none of these shows have anymore but this show is proof it can be done & done right. Absolutely amazing. A masterpiece.… Expand

Even if you don't play the game (I don't) you should definitely watch this! It's the best thing I've seen in years. BEAUTIFUL art, in depth writing, complex but believable characters, and hands down epic voice acting. PERFECT!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sin duda una obra maestra, lo mejor del año junto con Succession de HBO. nunca Jugué League of legends ,y es que la serie es un punto aparte, no necesitas jugar nada, Arcane es una obra maestra y se ha convertido en una de las mejores series que he visto en mi vida, junto con Los Soprano, The Wire, Six Feet Under, Mad Men y Breaking Bad....
cada plano tiene un significado y una dualidad, la Composición visual y estética es de lo mas perfecto y hermoso que esta en la tv, sin mencionar sus personajes grises como en The Wire. la serie trata muchos temas de los que The Wire trato con mas profundidad y complejidad antes, como la desigualdad social, la gente poderosa que se ata de manos para intentar conseguir justicia. es una simplemente toda una experiencia sentarse a disfrutar cada plano, como dicen por hay, cada plano podría ser un wallpaper. pensaba que por ser animada y de un juego no podría ser madura, pero me equivoque la serie va mas allá, abarca muchas cosas de la sociedad. sin mencionar que en general tiene una escritura brillante, y un excelente guion repartido en 3 actos durante los 9 Capítulos, ahora es increíble su animación, detalles, paralelismos, planos secuencia, transiciones, los gestos de los personajes e incluso en ocasiones los fotogramas que estan para darle muchas interpretaciones al espectador. sin mencionar su Soundtrack que en ocasiones esta acompañado de violines que sirven para mostrar el declive o surgimiento de algo nuevo en el personaje, sin mencionar sus secuencias musicales que desde Breaking Bad, Los Soprano o Game of Thrones no había mirado algo así. o su grandiosa intro con la Canción que fue hecha para la serie, en fin solo digo que los que no la han visto, y sienten prejuicios, pues están en un grave error, por que la serie esta a un nivel increíble....… Expand

It's so silly,so weird,dumb and boring. Nothing, LITERALLY nothing about it screams "special",and the rating for this **** still boggles my mind.If you're not a nerdy kid who plays league of ****heads, i recommend you to stay the **** away from this ugly thingy.… Expand

I watched this with my brother and my mom, (who never plays any videogames) and the sheer beauty, epic action scenes, and excellent story was enough to put this show on both of their top 3 lists. I honestly can't recommend this series enough and will be awaiting season 2 with great excitement.… Expand

Finally…breaking the curse of the game adaptation in any other media. Pure masterclass in art direction, animation, voice acting, writing…another season like that and Avatar Last Airbender will need to step down from its pedestal

Game adaptations in the past haven't fared so well. Arcane, however, is definitely not the case and is the exact opposite. This is a damn good one, in every way. The visuals are gorgeous. Personally, I would have preferred more realisticGame adaptations in the past haven't fared so well. Arcane, however, is definitely not the case and is the exact opposite. 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

It doesn't matter if you've never played League of Legends, as I haven't either. The show stands on it's own as a masterpiece, but it's source material is from League. It's similar to the Marvel films, where you don't need to have read the source material of the comics to enjoy them. This show is honestly an 11/10, and I would recommend it to absolutely everyone. Just watch the first episode, and I can guarantee you'll be hooked.… Expand

The character development in this show is insane. Every characters has their own dreams and fallbacks. The facial animation is hands down the best you will see in a animated series. And everything looks gorgeous.
