| Arcane is a streaming television "event" series based from the League of Legends video game. Set in the past, it retells the origin stories of several characters from Piltover and Zaun. It is currently streaming on Netflix, releasing three episodes per week over the span of three weeks. It will have nine (9) episodes in total. It was developed and produced by Riot Games, with animation services by Fortiche Production. It's created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee with the story by Connor Sheehy and Ash Brannon. It is directed by Pascal Charrue, Jérôme Combe, and Arnaud Delord. Here are the trailers with the last one having an option to switch audio track (that includes Japanese dub). So what do you guys think? I haven't watched the series yet as I'm playing to watch it with my friend later but damn as a former League player that is interested in its lore, it looks absolutely fantastic. To even think the original developer of a video game is in charge on making its series, it may be a definitive video game adaptation. I can't wait for it to watch it. Even the music video by Imagine Dragons is a banger. Have you watched it yet? If so, give us your thoughts and opinions. Also what video games franchise would you like to see in the future? |
| Very excited for this show, but I don't have Netflix. |
| can dis sig fit |
| i've read alot of people praising it so much on twitter sadly no netflix |
| Animation looks soo beautiful, planning to watch it soon |
 |
| >watch arcane >get hyped to play league >queue up >go 0/13 >get told to off myself gamer moment In all seriousness just watched the first three episodes and man. I had pretty high expectations and they actually surpassed them. Loving it so far. I seriously hope Arcane is a huge success because imagine the possibilities! Give me Targon, Shadow Isles, Bandle City and Shurima themed series! Where's my Arcane Viktor skin in League tho. Cmon Riot why would you make him so handsome but not add a skin smh |
 |
| I've never played League but I really enjoyed the first few episodes, the way every frame looks painted is amazing. |
   |
| So won't this be available on MAL Database? |
 |
| I have finally watched the first three episodes of Arcane. Holy fuck, 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 places have their own characteristics. The pacing was just enough for the story to tell itself. In the span of three episodes, they deliver a wonderful worldbuilding for a person who knows nothing of the lore. Characters acts natural to their personality and attitude. You'd begin loving them with their development. You also sympathize 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 add few more seconds, but holy moly the battle choreogprahy was a spectacle to watch. Hoping to see more on the upcoming six episodes! As of now, I'll probably rate it around 9 out of 10. |
| seems good :D Imma watch it in the near future :D |
 |
| Best animated show of the year. Everything is just so great compared to other animated shows this year, they always lack something. It has great Soundtracks, Art, Animation, Visual, Story, Characters, World building, Emotions, Pacing and so much more. |
| Every women look like men Welcome to the current year. kek |

| till ep 6 it was very good. the animation is consistent and beautiful. I want to add this on mal but I guess it ain't an anime XD |

| it is okay for me to watch this even i don't know the lore of hero and never play the game it self. |
| im not too good to speak english .. -- / -. --- - / - --- --- / --. --- --- -.. / - --- / ... .--. . .- -.- / . -. --. .-.. .. ... .... |
| Holy shit, Act 2 was good, although I still think Act 1 was better... Hopefully, Act 3 will be a banger. Logical_ said: it is okay for me to watch this even i don't know the lore of hero and never play the game it self. You really don't have to. It's basically any video game adaptation film/series where you don't have to know about the source material. If you've become a fan by just watching it, then you can explore by playing the games or read its lore. |
| Arcane is absolutely amazing holy shit I'm glad I gave it a shot. |
| Why does it seem to me that 95% of the people who are crazy about it are either hot LoL fans, or normy anime fans, or Twitter girls. Hornsby said: I'm not a fan of LoL. I've never played it. But I'm looking forward to watching this "anime". Even Gigguk has praised it as one of the best this year. I really like the art style. This is the case when I remember that Gigguk's normy tastes have their pros and cons. |

Seems to me like 100% of the people who diss it haven't even watched it just because it's "western" or some shit. |
| nvm i just watched the 6 episodes and it's indeed great |
| Absolutely. Fuckin. Love it. Non-League Player here. I dunno jack shit about lol lore or champions, but the first time I watched the trailer, instantly knew this was gonna blow up. It's not a one-of-a-kind series when it comes to storytelling, but everything and I mean EVERYTHING about Arcane is just so well executed. Animation and SFX being the highlights here. 2 acts in and very excited for the next one. I really hope Riot and the animation studio put out more series of this quality, it'd be revolutionary. And with that said, no, I'm never playing League. I've had my very short experience "trying" to get into the game a few years back, and it is NOT noob-friendly. The player base is way too toxic so I wouldn't reckon anyone play it after watching Arcane. |

| I'm really liking it. There are many good things about it and I find myself interested in the world despite not caring at all about lol. Just to highlight few things I really like, art style (fucking love it, just up my alley), violence is portrayed in more "raw" way, cinematography. |
 |
| "Don't cry...You're perfect..." 10/10 show. Silco, Jinx and Viktor were all phenomenal characters. Can't wait for Season 2. |
| Dang it, I was confident that this was going to be a one-off (just a single season) animated series, especially there is so much lore to explore: From regions, characters, and history of the Runeterra. And holy fuck, Riot Games... Holy fuck, indeed. You delivered a phenomenal and emotional ending that ends with a cliffhanger. I need Season 2 right now. I don't mind waiting a year and a half, I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF IT'S COMING, RITO. |

Hornsby said: RobertBobert said: Why does it seem to me that 95% of the people who are crazy about it are either hot LoL fans, or normy anime fans, or Twitter girls. I ain't no normie. I'm anything but that. Anime fans may piss off considering all the shits been out this year, couldn't get leagues with Arcane. [That pun felt great.] I don't play LoL. and I don't give a fuck about it. I appreciate anything that's legitimately good. Arcane isn't just good. It's a masterpiece. I'm very happy for you, but did I say somewhere that this is a bad show, lol? |

Have I said anywhere that this is a bad show? If you think your original comment about 95% of the people who are "crazy about it" being "hot LoL fans, or normy anime fans, or Twitter girls." didn't have the implication that the show is bad, on a thread where the OP asked for people's opinion on the show, then you're just deluding yourself. You don't go insulting 95% of the fanbase of something being hyped when you like a show. It implies they're overrating it. Especially without actually giving an opinion on the show itself. |

You don't go insulting 95% of the fanbase of something being hyped when you like a show. It implies they're overrating it. Especially without actually giving an opinion on the show itself. First, "crazy about" doesn't mean "anyone who likes". Secondly, I still haven't said anything about the show itself. And yes, you are trying to judge me by the boundaries that you yourself have invented. For example, I love MHA, but I am completely convinced that the fandom of this anime is one of the worst places in the community. |

| It really lives up to the hype I think. I liked the parts that had Singed in them, his voice and design were cool. Overall everything was great, especially the animation. It might have been a bit too fast in terms of pacing though, but there are time constraints so. Noticed some events were a bit different compared to the official lore, so Arcane might not be 100% "canon" to the lol universe. With a lot of anime/ tv shows I end up wishing for each episode to end as quickly as possible so I can do something else but that wasn't the case with Arcane, it's probably the most enjoyable show I've seen in the past few years. Can't wait to see what comes next. |
| can dis sig fit |
| damn idk what to say about that ending,, really looking forward to season 2 |

| im tempted to watch this but im a DOTA fan more but i do not play both games though |
deg said: im tempted to watch this but im a DOTA fan more but i do not play both games though Lol, you can safely watch both shows and draw your own personal conclusions about this. Don't understand why Dota vs LoL shit plays such a lot of sense here. |

VolKur said: Masterpiece by Netflix & League of Legends!! Waiting for season 2. When will season 2 release? Next year around the same time or 2023. Nothing later than that. |
| This is insane good series. Indeed masterpiece. 10/10 series. I have to say it is for me one of the best TV-series i have seen. It is also one of the best animated series I have seen. It is the best TV-series based on video games and I have not even played LoL. It was 6 years of making and Riot Games and Fortiche poured all their love for it and it shows! It is true masterpiece! If you want to see more I suggest you to check LoL youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/leagueoflegends/videos?view=0&sort=p&flow=grid There are many insane good cinematics and musics which has hundreds of millions viewers.

| I know it probably isn't viewed as such by others, but I consider it a masterpiece. From the soundtrack to the artistic details and direction, to the incredibly well written characters and acting, I honestly haven't seen something as good in quite a while. I have never played League of Legends before, but the show sure convinced me to dive into the games and learn more about this seriously impressive assemble of characters and in depth lore. I'm glad they announced S2 so quickly and that it won't take years to produce. Since they already have voice lines recorded via that teaser for S2—just a few—I'm going to assume this will take typically 6 months to 1 year to produce the next season—if other animated shows on Netflix are a good clue. I can't wait for the other games to drop, too. They have such a rich lore that they made a mistake keeping it to MOBA games this long. Story oriented games should have come years ago. |
