A masterpiece. Top tier animation, story, characters, world building, visuals and dialogue. It's been a long time since a tv show left me as impressed as this. I highly recommend everybody gives this a watch.

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 seriesSin 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

Don't be afraid to get lost because you don't know the story of LOL, the series already considers that a lot of people don't know and creates everything from the beginning.
The Best animation I've watched so far, check it out.

Only criticism would be that a couple of the scenes felt a bit weird and unnecessary. The OST and scoring for the show is top notch and goes way harder than it needed to. Despite it being a property revolving around characters from league of legends, the show is fantastic. If anything, the series is even more enjoyable if you know nothing about the characters or how they develop as the series progresses. 10/10 would definitely recommend.… Expand

This serie is so good. The art, the music, the story, the characters. It really has it all. Characters are all multidimensional, they're not cartoonishly good or bad, and I think that's what I liked the most about Arcane.

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
