Glad you guys enjoyed episode 1. The pacing for Arcane is soooo good. The episodes are long, but every time the credits roll it leaves you wanting more.
1. Funny you should say that it’s similar to spider-verse because Hailey Steinfield, who voices Gwen also voices Vi in this show. 2. You shouldn’t worry about copyright when it comes to Riot. Apart from the Imagine Dragons song, all the music is owned by Riot and they don’t strike videos for the inclusion of their music.
You guys are going to love the rest of this series, this episode was only the appetizer, the rest of the season gets much crazier and more extraordinary. I can't wait to see you guys react to more 💜
Guys we are SUPER EXCITED for this series! Let us know if you’re excited by commenting and liking the video🙏🏼 we just watched episode 3 over on Patreon and it BLEW OUR MIND www.patreon.com/CaraPrez
It looks like no one answered your initial question about the instrument playing the piece at the beginning. The guy playing, Ray Chen, is a top tier violinist but he was playing a viola there.
Fun Fact: Riot Games and Fortiche, the animation studio who made "Arcane", first collaborated on the "Get Jinx" music video in 2013, the first animatics for "Arcane" were made 2 years later but they were delayed twice, first because of higher-ups in corporate and the creative team butting heads over whether a feature-length animated series was even possible with the limited resources of a game studio and a fledgling French animation company and then again because of COVID.
the instrument that hit you in the very beginning is a violin. They have an incredible violinist (Ray Chen) in their music department - knowing you already watched the 5th episode, I can tell you that they animated him into the show (like a lot of others) as a tribute to him. He is the violin performer on the stage in the theatre. They guy which is kicked out of the brothel totally drunk is the animation studio CEO (Fortiche) by the way XD. He makes a small appearance in ep 4 as well. Another fun detail since you already watched ep.5 : when they climb the roofs you see at some point a plate of cupcakes that Claggor snatched one from. This a reference to Caitlyn and also a hint that they are near her house/workshop.
Actually, it's a viola! I watched a reaction that Ray Chen did to the music of arcane. Ray Chen wasn't getting the correct vibe with the violin, so he used the viola. I didn't even know he could play viola lmao but apparently he can. It's just for this one scene, and you can tell the difference in timbre.
The song sung by the little girl in the opening explains the whole relationship between Piltover and the Undercity. The city leaders decided to carve a canal right through the city to make money (because ships could avoid a trip around a continent). During the dig, an accident happened that flooded the Undercity and released a lot of pollution in the Undercity. Piltover profited massively from the canal, and never once thought to use any of that wealth to fix the flooding and pollution in Undercity. What you saw in the opening sequence was a failed rebellion by the Undercity.
Haha, the dual reaction to Powder throwing the bag into the river was amazing!! XD She is my favourite character, so I make excuses for her a lot. If she hadn't, the guy would have just taken it off her (and probably hurt her doing so). Sadly, the river is VERY dirty, so definitely wouldn't be a good idea trying to recover it. Vi is great here, as she sees it as her fault, and would never snap at Powder over something like this. She is a great older sister! This was an awesome reaction, guys!! Can't wait for the next ep!! :) There is a fair argument to say that the 3 top main characters are female, but you have a lot of great characters yet to meet! :)
Other than being toxic, the water there was deep and there are large sea creatures in it (see the monster's outside of the window in the villain's lair). Once it hit the water it was gone without specialized equipment. No way some undercity kids are going to be able to recover it.
Incredible series, and don't worry about the music too much when editing, 90% of it is cleared for reactions because they love to see people enjoying their show and a lot of the music was made for the show. Glad I found yall through this show and I look forward to exploring more of your reactions!!
Riot sucks, pretty much everything shitty about "League of Legends" and all of Riot`s other games is `cause of Riot and the shitty-ass,toxic community they cultivate as a company and everything good they put out like "Get Jinxed", "Arcane" and "Annie:Origins" is because of Fortiche!
The animation studio Fortiche was relatively new. Prior to this, they only did a few ads and music videos, mostly for Riot games. This was their first major animation project that was more than a few minutes long.
Finally! Good reactions. I love Arcane and it looks like you two are going to be blown away. I have seen this show more than 10 times now, so now I watch reactors, that is to trick my mind into believing I am watching it with fresh new eyes through yours. This show is a masterpiece, in my opinion this is the best series ever period, not just animated, It is up there with Breaking Bad. Advise... since you are going in blind, stay that way if possible don't look anything up and be very careful of the comments, there are going to be some fans that unintentionally slip by some info, because they love the show too and just can't help sharing and talking about it. Once you are done, watch it again, you will notice a lot more stuff on the second watch, and the check out "Bridging the Rift'' (The making of Arcane) You will get a whole new found appreciation for the show and its creators, unlike a lot of other shows is a passion project, and it show. I will be waiting for your next upload. If you think the show is great, each episode only gets better and the quality stays top notch from start to finish, happy watching. Spoiler: (Not so spoiler) Season 2 is coming out October 2024
As great as they are, Episode 1 & 2 are just winching the roller coaster to the top of the track before they let it run. It's a wild ride. Cheers! Re production value: they put 6 years into 9 40-minute episodes. S2 comes out end of next year.
14:37 fun fact: the pant-less man getting thrown of the whore house is modeled after one of Fortiche studio director (Arnauld Delord, Fortiche being the French studio who animated this show). The three Fortiche directors appear later together in another episode, on the rear of a flying vessel...
You don't know what you signed up for... And you will love it. Imo the best show in at least five years and I am not talking about animated shows here. Characters, writing, visuals and music are just next level. I will gladly join you in this rollercoaster ride. 😃👍
I randomly started this series just lookin for something to watch passively & I instantly got sucked in lol automatically went onto my all time favorite list
The show is based on the video game lore of League of Legends, correct. In League of Legends there are 165 playable characters (called Champions) ... Considering you know nothing about the game, it would be interesting if you can figure out which characters in the show are actually Champions in the game and which characters are not ^^ For some it might be easier to guess than for others xD
The pink haired young lady is named Violet, Vi for short not Vee. Claggor is the big boy; Mylo is the smart-mouth boy with the thick eyebrows and you know Powder is the blue haired girl. Vander is the dad, Benzo is his friend. The young man they nicknamed L’il Man is Ekko. The lead enforcer, her name is Grayson while the scientist is Singed and his benefactor is Silco.
7:10 when she said "just leave it" you were busy discussing and missed the little man dialogue and thought she meant to leave the goodies. She actually meant to drop the little man discussion. Just clarifying that :) Cuz no way in hell would she not risk taking some valuable goodies lol
League actually has specific characters that you play as. About 10 or so of them are in Arcane, others were made for the show, but it would be a spoiler to tell you who's who.
the imagine dragons song is the only one NOT made for the show, it was made years before, the rest of the music is owned by the studio, so if you don't want to get copyright claimed only play small parts of the start, but everything else is fine.
Welcome to the lanes. I've been a fan of the LOL cinematics and knew of some of the characters but what really impressed me was all the lore that Riot put into the character and wold for a battle arena game. I'm happy they just decided to do their own thing with this and not really tie it to the game. It truly stands apart. You guys get a sub from me for this.
Before you watch episode 7 (so probably after you watch episode 6), you should totally watch the music video to Imagine Dragons - Enemy. It's animated in the same style as Arcane, and is basically 'deleted scenes' for the show. It was actually released before the show aired, so its not considered spoilers or anything. It's not critical to do so or anything, but it can provide some context for some stuff later in the show.
I've never understood people thinking Powder should stay and get beat up by teenagers as a 9 year old. Like she wasn't picking the fight, Vi and especially Mylo where.
You shouldn't have any copyright problems with this show. Aside from the imagine dragons song, everything is owned by Riot and they don't strike channels from what I've heard.
I absolutely love when people entirely new to Arcane/League watch episode 1 and talk about how "this art style and story is so good!" ....Episode 1 is so forgettable compared to what's to come and if Episode 1 hooks them then you know it's about to be a fun ride.
this is some of the best fiction thats come out in years
It's *THE* best videogame movie adaptation afaik. Just compare it to World of Warcraft's movie 😅.
@@louisrobitaille5810it must’ve been bad because I’ve never heard of it 🤣
It's also one of the most depressing and messed up ones as well (no spoilers)
Glad you guys enjoyed episode 1. The pacing for Arcane is soooo good. The episodes are long, but every time the credits roll it leaves you wanting more.
This has been the case every episode 😂
1. Funny you should say that it’s similar to spider-verse because Hailey Steinfield, who voices Gwen also voices Vi in this show.
2. You shouldn’t worry about copyright when it comes to Riot. Apart from the Imagine Dragons song, all the music is owned by Riot and they don’t strike videos for the inclusion of their music.
Oh that’s nice to know about the copyright stuff! Might be able to include some more audio in certain bits then
Now imagine that was Nintendo.
This show will rock your conception of entertainment media. You are about to witness something great.
This is my favourite show. It has amazing characters, both male and female and a phenomenal story
The facial animation is real animation too, it's not motion captured and it's amazing.
You guys are going to love the rest of this series, this episode was only the appetizer, the rest of the season gets much crazier and more extraordinary. I can't wait to see you guys react to more 💜
what about castlevania?
@@Teddyponsel2626 Imo it started great and fell off in later.

HOLY ARCANE??? LETS GOOOOO! Love this series!
I've seen many youtubers react to Arcane in the past year and still I continue to watch folks enjoy this show. I'll be watching you guys too now.

@@bzzzzzzzzzz2075 thanks for the information ! I didn't realize that.
Oooh no....
This is probably THE best show ever made...
But youre to pure for this...
This will rip your soul to shreds.
>_
This series is absolutely top tier. Nothing about it isn't excellent, and I am glad to see some more people excited to watch it!
Yay! Finally, you're going to love this guys. I'll watch along the way.

Finally.. arcane reaction, I've been waiting for this.. 🔥
thx to reacting to this show, league of legends player, this is one of my favorite
Great series. It was released in 3 episode installments like 3 acts. Loved your Demon Slayer Reactions and equally excited for these!
You'll love this! Next season 2024 :D Love from Sweden
3:24
You picking up on that symbolism makes me really excited to watch these reactions!

Hey, Veggie! Nice to see you here; a true Arcane fan, indeed
0:07 That's that she said!
Hey, unexpected The Predator reference!

youre in for a huge treat. Riot Games peaked with this one.

ok i hit the bell for this... you guys r going 2 love it

yeah Vi is the tank, Powder is the marksman
Oh boi ... here we go ! :)
Also all the music besides ID - Enemy .. is safe to use ;)
I'm excited!!! I love Arcane, can't wait for second season!
You're right, that pink-haired boy DOES want his revenge. :D
Oh shit, oh fuck, oh damn. Are we doing this? Ok, we're doing this. *straps in*
I haven't rewatched Arcane so I'll do it with you guys 😁 can't wait to see peak again.
As great as they are, Episode 1 & 2 are just winching the roller coaster to the top of the track before they let it run. It's a wild ride. Cheers!
Re production value: they put 6 years into 9 40-minute episodes. S2 comes out end of next year.
Such a great show. I'm always glad to see more and more enjoy this amazing stroy telling

I'm subbing. I think you guys are gonna love this show!
I randomly started this series just lookin for something to watch passively & I instantly got sucked in lol automatically went onto my all time favorite list
The series is incredible like I can talk about it for hours
Yess I love you guys
They did an incredible job with this.
Vander ragging on Mylo about coming back from a job empty handed just gives him more fuel to pick on Powder.
NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WATCH THIS SHOW, ITS NOW ENOUGH.
The show is based on the video game lore of League of Legends, correct.
In League of Legends there are 165 playable characters (called Champions) ...
Considering you know nothing about the game, it would be interesting if you can figure out which characters in the show are actually Champions in the game and which characters are not ^^
For some it might be easier to guess than for others xD
Loved your reaction to KNY and finally another one to my favourite Arcane 😍 I’m so glad you both have started!
such a good show
Many of the characters in Arcane are actual champions in the game itself. Won't tell you which ones though because that might change how you watch.
"Vee" ah, it's gunna be another one of those reactions lol
Lmao EVENTUALLY it’s corrected
Arcane Hype!
You are in for a ride.
Bro not a lot of people know the movie treasure planet lol,and I’m glad you do. Great movie
Oh ma Gaaad! You both will cry in sadness and happiness
The pink haired young lady is named Violet, Vi for short not Vee. Claggor is the big boy; Mylo is the smart-mouth boy with the thick eyebrows and you know Powder is the blue haired girl.

11:30 appeared to miss the symbolism of the moment , where powder was having something akin to a bit of a ptsd episode from all of the violence
Wait for it, you will love it!
and down the LoL rabbit hole you go!
Bruh! Cara is leng!🔥🔥🔥
Aside from the Imagine Dragons song in the opening, most of the songs are made specifically for this show.
7:10 when she said "just leave it" you were busy discussing and missed the little man dialogue and thought she meant to leave the goodies. She actually meant to drop the little man discussion.
Just clarifying that :)
Cuz no way in hell would she not risk taking some valuable goodies lol
You won’t regret this.
League actually has specific characters that you play as. About 10 or so of them are in Arcane, others were made for the show, but it would be a spoiler to tell you who's who.
FYI Arcane's songs don't have copyright except for Enemy
Finally 🎉🎉
Funny how many people initially thought little Vi was a boy. hehe
One of my favorite shows ever! Up there with Avatar The Last Airbender
The other two boys were also orphaned on the same day.
Cute couple! Looking forward to seeing what you make of this one! Go in with an open mind :)
New drop every Thursday! But we LOVE this show so far
12:40 "Well written" bad ass female characters is what's it about.
the imagine dragons song is the only one NOT made for the show, it was made years before, the rest of the music is owned by the studio, so if you don't want to get copyright claimed only play small parts of the start, but everything else is fine.
This is an awesome show.

PEAK
Watching the best animated show ever!!!!!!
Btw this series is completly canon to leagues lore so it is fully based on the game
Before you watch episode 7 (so probably after you watch episode 6), you should totally watch the music video to Imagine Dragons - Enemy.

TGL Family!
PLEASE WATCH THE NEXT EPISODE!
great choice for a new series!
Oh boy
yyyyeeeaaaaaah!
12:40 Well-written* badass female characters 👀. Many female characters are badass, but too many recent ones feel undeserving of it.
Has anyone told prez he looks like that guy from TGL?
🤫
I've never understood people thinking Powder should stay and get beat up by teenagers as a 9 year old. Like she wasn't picking the fight, Vi and especially Mylo where.
You shouldn't have any copyright problems with this show. Aside from the imagine dragons song, everything is owned by Riot and they don't strike channels from what I've heard.
I had to crack a beer because of how unsatisfying the start of the video was.
Can you try fog hill of five elements? its really good
Lucky you, season 2 is coming 2024.
Why is there a #onepunchman tag in the description haha
Forgot to change it😭😂
Damn..it actual took you 2 months to finish 8 episodes???
How did you even remember details between episodes lmao
If she is blind, don’t tell her who’s champion. I enjoyed much more not knowing it
Cant tell if Vi is a girl or a boy.... god bless their souls when they watch season 2 episode 2. 😂😂😂
you wont get in trouble because of the music copyright, riot games doesnt care about that
love you guys but this show will break you XD enjoy it from your heart :)
I absolutely love when people entirely new to Arcane/League watch episode 1 and talk about how "this art style and story is so good!" ....Episode 1 is so forgettable compared to what's to come and if Episode 1 hooks them then you know it's about to be a fun ride.
avoid comments if you haven't finished the show
