The story is captivating and doesn't shy away from violence and more adult themes.
The animation is gorgeous.
The character development is on point. The characters are deep, relatable and they each have their struggles and growth.
Don't worry if you know nothing about League of Legends. Solid character development and world-building make Arcane an enjoyable watch regardless of having no background knowledge of the universe.

**This show is a masterpiece.**

Completely raised the bar for video game adaptations. It's definitely the gold standard from here on out.

to put it short and simple, I'd give it 15 out of 10 if I could

As someone unfamiliar with the game, I found this show to be well animated (even if sometimes the face animations, voice acting and overall mood of the scene felt at odds) and very pretty to look at, but story wise, it was a fail for me. I just thought it was boring and predictable.

I think I gave it a fair shot, but it just didn't manage to capture my interest. Maybe a certain familiarity with the game is needed to properly enjoy the show :person_shrugging_tone1:♀

I knew very little about League of Legends beyond some character names, but this show absolutely blew me out of the water. It's clear they spared no expense in the animation and writing of this show, every episode kept me captivated and wanting to watch the next one. The TV-14 rating is a bit of a misdirect, the show tends to be pretty adult-oriented and can catch you off guard with some story elements.

I hope they continue adapting the universe they've created into stuff like this, they've clearly put a lot of care and effort into their characters and world-building.

This was hands down one of the best animated (any show really) shows I've seen in 40 years. I hate LOL as well but am a huge gamer and played it a bit 10 years ago. My girl doesn't know anything about the art and LOVED it as well. So good and so impressed.
Music, characters, hand painted on top of 3d models, story, voice acting. Just soooo good.

Arcane has up the ante on storytelling in not just the animation genre but the whole of complacent, unoriginal and increasingly boring mainstream filmmaking. Infectiously stylish with its richly layered writing. Arcane is an almost perfect blend of style and substance, a rare feet few acheive.

Would be a ten but im taking away a point for Imagine Dragons.

This show is absolutely amazing.
From the visuals to the characters or the story and the pacing everything is handled perfectly and with tremendous style.
Incredible, can't wait for season 2.

overrated piece of shit show

I've seen up to the third episode. Wow, what a fantastic show so far. Finally seeing some of your favorite characters and parts of their backstories is a huge payoff. I haven't played League in years, but so far this makes me think that someone without character knowledge will still enjoy it and those that do have that knowledge will be blown away.

I've played LoL on a handful of occasions throughout the years but never enough to be familiar with the world/lore. So I went into this show pretty much blind and with little expectations because of previous games to TV adaptions.

But boy were my expectations completely blown out of the water. Everything in the first three episodes was damn near perfect. Animation. Score/soundtrack. Voice acting. World building. Captivating Story. Interesting Characters. Fucking insane. I cannot wait for the next episodes.

Nothing special. Usual juvenile story with all the tropes.

more please, I am totally in for this!

Not much to say except that this show is just incredible. Animation, characters, the story... Amazing.

First of all, I have never played LOL. That said, the animation is very good, very videogame like. The chosen music is also very good, and the dubbing too. But for someone who is not a fan of the videogame, the story is not very interesting (I have watched two chapters so far, maybe it gets better).

So incredibly hyped for this... the trailer looks insane. I hope it lives up to the expectations they've created!

I knew we'd be having an experience and it did deliver! 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!

Must see even if you don't know the game. Characters with character, interesting steampunk world, an amazing art & rendering style and fitting music. (judging from the frist three episodes).

Very very good. Can not wait for more!
