    A strong start to our first animated series on the channel! Time will tell if Arcane brings back my League of Legends addiction I kicked many years ago haha!
    Thank you all for the support!

      I hate Mobas. And most of all never liked LoL because it looked like a cheap browser version of dota. But despite not giving a damn about the game or the genre even this show is amazing in both the story and the art style. So I dont know if it would make someone geting back into LoL but yea

      @joaosantos5503 2 роки тому +3

      Despite being based on a game, it might as well be its own isolated story, too. That's how good it is. Anyone can get into it. It's almost a masterpiece tbh lol. I know that word is thrown around too much these days, but you'll see why this has earned it.

    I never played League of Legends and wasn't familiar with any of the characters and at no point felt like I needed to play it to connect to the people. It was an awesome show and can't wait to see more reactions to it.

    God, I love Arcane. I had no background with LoL going in, but the gorgeous animation sucked me in and I never felt lost. The story is fantastic and these characters are so well-realized. Every time you think you have somebody figured out, there's a new twist or revelation which has rippling effects across future events. This series is an emotional rollercoaster.

  • @sunnyschramm9650
    @sunnyschramm9650 2 роки тому +20

    "ARCANE" is easily in my TOP 5 of the last years! Binged it on one evening :-) And what I love about it - its NOT for children! Never played LOL - so thanks god the series tells just a story in the LOL-Universe. So you dont need to know the game. So well written where the smallest characters are cool and kind of deep; visual absolutely stunning and one of the best synchronization ever (for the german version). Also almost no black and white story-telling - even the bad characters have their white side - like in real life. Cant wait for season two! ... What I hate about it technically - the songs including the singers are just mixed in stereo - so when you listen to it on an surround-system and dont sit in the center - you only hear the voice and most of the music on the left or the right. I hope they will fix that for the second season.

    @NuriaSaladrigasLarroy 2 роки тому +5

  • @AngelusNZ
    @AngelusNZ 2 роки тому +4

    I never played League of Legends, but i really loved this series. The art style, colour palette. animation style and the voice acting were all really good. You mentioned you recognised the voice of the officer. She was voiced by Shohreh Aghdashloo - She has an incredibly recognisable voice - she was in shows like 24, and The Expanse - as well as doing other voice work. Looking forward to the rest of the series reaction.

  • @zipzeolocke2
    @zipzeolocke2 2 роки тому +3

    For people like the who enjoyed playing this game back in the day, was surprised they decided to make a TV series out of this game because it's not like a single player story campaign. It's basically a multiplayer online battle arena style game where you choose between hundreds of different champions who each have their own special abilities making them each unique. it's basically 2 teams against each other in a 5v5 map and each team has a base on the opposite sides of the map. The goal is to destroy the opposite teams nexus home base.
    Each champion has lore written about them and the lands they are from. There is definitely so much world building written in the descriptions so it's understandable they could take that and work with it to create a series.
    Low and behold this series turned out to be an incredible pleasant surprise. It's lacking a majority of the champions but that's fine because it's not even necessary to know anything about the game in order to enjoy it. The series does a great job of inviting you do its world and how things work

    You’re in for a treat. The less you know the better and if you know next to nothing at this point that’s ideal. VERY high praise from LoL fans and casual viewers alike is extremely unusual for any adaptation and it’s all warranted. One of the most impressive first seasons I’ve ever seen, animated or not.

    You two have made a choice in reacting to this masterpiece of animation and my sister never watch animation and she checked this out and love it. I watch all type of animation, and this is on elite status and one of the things that separate it from other animation is their care for detail like the micro expression in the character's faces it's like you know what they're thinking without them having to tell you.
    I watched this and never got the urge to play the game, but I don't play games at all anyway.

    • @mullworm
      @mullworm 2 роки тому +1

      Shortly after the release in November they where asked why not 4K. If I remember it correctly it was because of a technical restriction (computer were too slow or so), or because it would have become too expensive. They weren't sure, but probably the second season will be made in 4K.

    In some ways, Arcane is a bad choice to dip your feet in on animation--the animation budget and production time for this show was many, MANY times higher than the usual. An average a show will have a budget of $50k-$75k per episode, and would take at least 3 months to produce a season of 10-13 episodes. Arcane had a budget of $90-100 MILLION and was in production for six years before the 9 episodes of the first season were finished. No other show has this kind of production value.
    But on the other hand, it's a great first choice for animation--it's THE high point, and knowing how to compare it to any other animation you might feel like reacting to should help manage expectations.
