Even if you have no interest in picking up any kind of gaming console, do yourself a favor and give Arcane a try. It has more mature storytelling and emotional resonance than many live-action shows do right now. And it deserves to be lauded as the new benchmark for what can be done when it comes to successfully translating worthy videogame universes into a different medium while refusing to dumb down or simplify complex storytelling. Arcane is a world worth getting lost within.
Even if you’re not a gamer, or a fan of League of Legends, Arcane will be more than entertaining enough to hold your interest, with an interesting story backed by amazing animation.

Report
Arcane is nothing short of a masterpiece which exceeds all expectations, delivering a captivating blend of stunning animation, intricate storytelling, and a powerful soundtrack that enhances every moment. At its core, the series explores the intense relationship between sisters Vi and Jinx, whose bond drive the narrative with emotional weight. The soundtrack not only complements each scene but also highlights the parallels between characters, adding depth to their journeys. With its compelling visuals, rich world-building, and unforgettable music, Arcane stands as a groundbreaking achievement in animated storytelling.
Report
Visually stunning and technically excellent in many ways. This series is let down by bad writing, boring and unbelievable characters, poor story structure, questionable pacing and baffling music choices. A better story with more interesting characters could have compensated for tropes and cliches.
