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

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.

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.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Подростковый сериал с претензией на псевдо-серьёзность. Рисовка...она нормальная, и на этом всё. Остальное либо плохо, либо неудовлетворительно - сюжет, музыка(ДА, МУЗЫКА, А НЕ ПЕСНИ ID), персонажи, мотивация персонажей, оператор в экшн-сценах, но, в особенности, режиссура - самая поганая составляющая Аркейна. Режиссёр(ы) настолько халтурно выполняют свою работу, что смотреть стало неинтересно на второй минуте, в том числе, из-за очень херово-проработанных мелочей. Для примера, нам показывают в начале четверых детей-подростков, один из них - весьма полный пацан. Зачем его сделали толстым, если он так же, как и все, паркурит, бегает и весьма вынослив. Мелочь, а неприятно. Следующий момент в том же начале - вскрытие двери. Персонажам абсолютно похеру на скрытность - они ведут себя очень громко(да насрать - режиссёр прикроет). Та же квартира нобеля Джейса, который, мало того что видный человек в Верхнем городе, так ещё и занимается нелегальными делами, БЕЗ СИГНАЛИЗАЦИИ. Это не полотно, это пустая, но красивая рамка. Expand

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

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. Ce truc pourra éventuellement divertir les ados et les cliqueurs fermiers de LoL, la daube soporifique et très con dont est inspirée cette série de merde mais pas beaucoup plus…

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.

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

Very solid, entertaining show with structural flaws. But still, this show outshines the vast majority of TV available.

Pros - Animation is great!
- Voice acting is on point! Not a single lagging performance!
- When their stylistic choices work, they WORK!
- Action is clear while being stylized and easy to follow with emotional stakes!
- Few emotional beats hit right but the ones that do, hit like a stupid cry baby train going at full speed. Cons
- Not one character has CLEAR, established goals with established consequences.
- The A, B, and C stories all fight to be the A-storyline. (Game of Thrones does this well over many seasons and locations. 9 episodes in a single location isn't enough time or space to accomplish it.)
- The show establishes our core characters and then turns into an ensemble piece.
- Some storylines are jarringly introduced and others are dropped without resolutions.

All things considered, I'd happily watch season 2 in the hopes they do better justice to the characters and storylines.

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.

This review has a purely personal opinion. ATTENTION POSSIBLE SPOILERS!
Arcane as a series, in my opinion, came out very bad for the following reasons:
1. Characters - yes, many were revealed from an emotional point of view very well, but they constantly do not agree on something with each other, discuss a lot and act little. 70% of the entire series we see dialogues and clarification of the relationship between the characters. The main plot around the main characters (Wai and Jinks) is very delayed, and the world around them has not been revealed at all. Supporting characters are as much speculating as they do, and their story is not fully revealed.
2. The world is not disclosed and little is said about it. What happened to the city, what is happening on the continent, etc. Lots of questions and few answers.
3. The table is quite pleasant, interesting. But cut off at the end.
The series is worth watching, but it absolutely does not give information about the world in which the plot develops, not about characters, except the main characters.
If you want to look at the clarification of relations and the dismantling of the internal "I," then it will come off

But being into LoL, of course, I had to give it a try. Well, it's overly melodramatic, strangely written, IMHO, maybe because of inexperienced writers with TV? The art style too is... a bit meh, as if some illustrator is unfamiliar with TV and film. So, overall, I think that we have to see how this show turns out storywise but so far, I am not impressed, sadly. Even the Witcher series did better, and folks complained. But I'm sure that it'll find its hardcore fanbase, so, well. Expand

Nerfed the rating from 5/10 to 3/10 after seeing the 1st season as the scenario makes absolutely no sense. Apart from the fans of the game I am asking myself who would want to watch this...

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. It is like a drawn out 3 epsiode Trailer that doesn't have an actuall ending. (3 episodes so far) Expand

Arcane sounds like it would be pretty interesting unfortunately the art style is extremely jaring and most of the characters are very annoying. With extremely weird choices from music when switching up scenes not recommended.

This show's been great for an introductory season, with Viktor likely being the most three dimensional character of the story.
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.

This is how to do it! I never played the games, didn't know the story and I don't even like animated series that much.
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.

10/10

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.

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. 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.

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!

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

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.

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.
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!

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

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 storytelling, the character arcs, the overall writing is fantastic. Really wish Netflix would allow this to be distributed on physical media so I can add it to my collection, but they're c**** so that probably won't happen. Great f****** show, can't stress that enough... and I've never even played League of Legends. Expand

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....

This 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.

This series was really wonderful. The characterization and storyline of this series will make you drown in this series and you will not see any violation of this series. I hope the next season will come as soon as possible.
