LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
AAAAAAAAAAH THEY DID IT, LOVE YOU SoS
Nice!
This show is a masterpiece.
I DID NOT EXPECT YOU GUYS TO DO THIS SERIES AND I AM SOOOOO EXCITED TO FOLLOW THIS
Milo: your sister jinxes everything.
Jacob: hold on a god damm minute.....
No
Milo: *[Talks about Powder JINXING everything]*
Jacob: *Alright, son. Imma'na have to stop you right there, kid.*
“We’ve only had these kids for a few minutes but if anything happened to them…” *nervous laughter* about that
I like that they didn't make Claggor a typical "obese" character. He is not comic relief, no jokes are made at his expense, he seems confident, and he is clearly just as physically capable as his friends (he even snags a cupcake while making the difficult jump). I appreciate little things like that.
Also Milo's VA is Yuri Lowenthal and for some reason I can never get over hearing SASUKE in other media.
I just realized this, but the real question is not "who locks their balcony?" but infact who has a locked balcony door that has a keyhole on the other side
🤯
HOREE SHEET!
Youse right.
good catch!
Maybe in case someone locks you out?
? keyholes are supposed to be on the outside
@@VADYCAN Of a Balcony??? who is regularly entering their 4th floor lab through a balcony that has no stairs up to it
"9 episodes, plenty of time to kill the characters"
Well, about that...
minor spoiler-ish below!
"Can you imagine if that [nail bomb] was her first kill?" **cries in episode 3**
@@QueenOfTheZombieApocalypse the fact she was making nail bombs at that age is the earliest hint to her unstable mental health
@@gf408 the fact they where robbing people at that age :| is also a sign to all their unstable mental health
Arcane: three take it or leave it
@@Pooperpooper financial state perhaps?
This show does so much non-verbal storytelling purely on facial expressions. It's kind of mindblowing.
“Nine episodes, plenty of time to kill the characters off.”
Me: *Sweats profusely*
I love how Caleb was describing everything he wants this show to be in the intro, and it's literally all that and more lmao
Them: Look at this fight triggering Powders PTSD
Me: Waiting for them to watch episode 3 lol
THE BASE VIOLENCE NECESSARY FOR CHANGE!!!!
This show retcons a lot of details of some of the older characters, many of them for not the first time, but my personal opinion... EVERY change was for the better. This version of the lore is amazing.
Totally agreed! And imo some certain details still have a chance to be remixed
... Like who? Everything seems the same
@@josefplacek4200 For one thing, the game implies that Hextech has been around for quite some while, and there's no indication that Jayce or Viktor had anything to do with its invention. Arcane instead clearly shows that Jayce and Viktor invented Hextech together within a decade or so of the game's events.
You've probably already been told, but yeah, Arcane serves as a prequel for a number of champions from League of Legends, specifically ones from this region, Piltover. For people who know the game, it's a very interesting watch to see how some of these people become who we know them as, because the story DOES follow the broad strokes of what we know from their backstories.
For that reason I'd say maybe avoid looking too closely at the League roster for now, 'cause you might see the end points for some character arcs.
I just watched a girl reactor who said after episode 3 "I'd name myself Jinx, just cause I'm petty like that" Then freaked out in episode 4... It's really cool seeing noobies perspectives, wish I had that ability... But being a decade deep in Riots asshole I already know who Singed's daughter is going to be lmao
Yeah, quite of few of the Champion titles alone are massive spoilers.
Agreed. I'd say even avoid the comments, there's always some smart-ass joke that spoils something.
@@carpediem3991 Oh that girl. It's pretty impressive that she kind-of went with that hope that Powder would change her name to Jinx, and, I believe, didn't wholeheartedly expected to have it actually happen.
@@TheDarkstar3601 Yah, you can tell by the way she popped off, definitely didn't expect it lol....
_Finally_ some smart reactors are getting around to Arcane! It’s legit one of the best things I’ve ever watched, and I really feel like most reactions I’ve seen so far haven’t really appreciated it as much as it deserves. Of course they still loved it, but there’s genuinely so much thought put into every little thing and I know you both will value this show for _all_ it has to offer. Can’t wait for y’all to get further into it 😊
What reactors have you watched?
Agreed alot of reaction channels won't do this show justice Check out blind wave they are great
Blind Wave, Semblance of Sanity and YaBoyRoshi are the react channels that really deliver when watching something and each one have a totally different flavor to their content.
I recommend T B skyen for arcane!
LM Reactions are a duo who had godly predictions and theories for their AoT reactions and are great with finding the deeper meanings, details, and parallels. I saw they’re starting Arcane so that might be another channel to check out
Never played League, but I have a deep appreciation for the kind of character work that goes into that kind of game, so I'd been looking forward to Arcane since it was announced, and it did not disappoint. Look forward to the rest of your reactions.
Oh hey you
It's great how everything Caleb said he wants is in the show.
Conclusion. Powder opening the lootbox started everything. Microtransactions are bad confirmed!
@5:25 - "Yeah, keep covering your eyes!"..... Powder wasn't covering her eyes... that's why we see her scribbles on the scene... she's peeking through her fingers and witnessing all of the violence, including the enforcer point-blank murdering someone.
It was so surreal to watch this get recorded live
Edit: I forgot that we get episode audio this time! (The realization at 51:10 still kills me)
No audio when streamed? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
HAHAHAJAHAHAHAH
I don't know the game at all. But I watched the whole first season of Arcane in one day, yesterday. I could not stop. I found it totally coincidental on Netflix. The show is so good and you can enjoy it even without knowing the game. It is even better this way since I was totally surprised with the development of the characters. I love this show! And I love watching you guys reacting to it.
*Sees hex crystal*
Caleb: "take that!"
No! Don't take that!
Glad to see you guys covering this series with your prior knowledge to the game.
“I don’t think League has lootboxes”
**looks frustratingly at purchase history**
Yeh
Lol
Yeah. . . . . . XD
Itll be rly interesting to test this to an 1 hour long discussion, like no other channel has been doing so far. The Bros reaally like to overanalyze stuff, but maybe this show might meet some of their expectations. It definitely respects the audience enough to warrant essays for it. Hopefully the Bros don't lose themselves in headcanons and more so find the actual themes and hidden metaphors we've got going here
"Isn't there a champion called Jinx?"
😭
No
Love the discussion part. Most channels just react and that is it. This is way better
I found you less than an hour ago, and I can already tell that out of the dozen or so reactors I've seen, you guys are the best. So much more insightful commentary than the average reactor. Amazing job! Subscribing right away!
Woahhhh what a surprise. I didn't think yall would react to this, but this is a delight!
I've seen other reactors but I think you guys are my favorite because you're definitely gonna dig into the meat of the lore, characters etc
I really like how there is a lot of indepth discussion and thought here beyond just immediate reactions.
I've only played League once before, and never know the Lore or anything. But still very satisfied by how this series told the story.
Saw this on twitch, it was a blast. Can't wait for the rest of your reactions to this show!
Wait this was on twitch?!
@@edmondli4933 Yeah, they streamed this last week as an event. They will not do it again though
I did too, but I couldnt hear the audio of the episode, enjoyed it nonetheless
It was a special one time stream, unfortunately o think the vod is no longer there
@@Anu32148 I synced it up with a separate window playing the episode. But yeah it would have been enjoyable either way.
Let's fucking go. Best show of the last 5 years for me, coming right up.
I think it's interesting to see how innocent they view Powder. Like, guys, she *knows* what a nail bomb does. But also, Powder is adorable so I understand why they love her and why they view her as, well..."perfect."
spoilers below i guess? not really sure how this works, im pretty sure they dont read the comments of course
But yeah it's interesting how quickly they give hints that Powder is a bit koo-koo for cocoa puffs even as a little girl. She even does that little excited lip bite when she thinks that thug is about to get shredded by nails, the same thing she does as an adult when killing people with her weapons as an adult.
You guys were some of the reactors ive been waiting to start this lol.
Enjoy your emotional trauma.
i come back to this reaction now and then and i must say that this is my favorite one by far!!
"Nine episodes is plenty of time to kill these characters off."
Three. Take it or leave it.
Welcome to the party! If you liked this episode, well, literally every episode pretty much tops the one before it. You're in for quite the ride.
I love how you listed off all your hopes for this show and it actually delivers.
oh my god, i did not expect this coming. ive been a long time fan of your aot reactions, and seeing you watch arcane makes me so fucking happy. i am ready for amazing discussions that you guys are gonna have.
SO SO excited you guys are reacting to this. Literally can’t wait!
I always figured that their parents were just particularly uncreative namers. Violet for her hair color, Powder aka Powder Blue for hers.
Oh yeah. You are going to love this!
And just for the record, its the story of characters in the game and how they came to be how we know them in game. This shows just a few characters in one region of the world of Runeterra. Can't wait for season 2 and I pray that we get more stories like this with different characters and regions from the world.
I'm so happy you guys are watching this! Gonna be the best reactions to Arcane on UA-cam
Just finished reading Jinx's diary in League client and still crying, so I am here to heal my soul a little bit (only for it to be shattered again when they react to episode 3).
My favorite part about animated shows is the most well recognized voice actors don't even have to be main characters. Yuri lowenthal thrives as a character anywhere you put him. New names or lesser known ones can showcase their mastery as well as any veteran. God this show is fun
And suddenly the Bros had a skyrocket in Patreon followers
Time to rewatch their reaction
Ohhh this is the excuse I needed to start watching Arcane, specially after seeing all the great reviews about it
"shut up face" was such. great moment. i dunno. i LOVE IT
I was hooked by your Oraun reactions and now I'm so glad you found Arcane! Your reactions are amazing and you really pay attention to the details and the character moments! Can't wait to see how you like the future episodes- it only gets better from here!
Saw this on stream, and can not wait for the next episodes!
awesome reaction ! I really like that you already sense Powders trauma at this point and that it feels different for her than for Vi because of the age gap when they are experiencing certain events. I also love that you stress the fact that Vi, still as a teenager, already has a lot on her plate - she even needs to substitute for a motherly figure for Powder and be a leader to the gang. Please keep that in mind thoughout the next events. Vander is more of a guardian than a parent and he focusses a lot on Vi (Vi is an impulsive troublemaker and he has his hands full in handling her- he taught her how to punch, control her anger better and survive in this ruthless undercity)- On the other hand Vi focusses on Powder who is like a little bird going after her mother because she fears abandonment - also she doesn't feel appreciated with her talents within the group and Mylo always tries to highlight her failures which is not very good for the confidence development a child her age needs- Vi gives her best in stepping in but Powder missed the decisive moment of the conversation beween Mylo and VI
The loss of the parents affected both but Powder a bit more since she was smaller but can not put it into words. In the first scene you see that she mimics Vi's genuine emotions of sadness when she cries about their parents death because she can not really understand the extent of that situation- she just understands that her sister is sad and synchronizes with her sisters reation. Sadly we don't have definite ages - and this is never mentioned in the series so this is no spoiler. Vi seems to be around 17 years now (we get that from the archives in the game that came out recently) - I assume Powder might be around 10 years now. That would match the first event with a time skip of around 7 years - Vi being 10 years and Powder being around 3 years in the first scene. Vi can already understand what is happening at that time - Powder on the other side is just too young but this affects her a lot more/differently in the future. This will be especially shown in ep3 when she shows a certain outburst - I will touch upon that topic in your reaction of ep3.
So, congrats for picking up this series- it will literally blow your minds and is a rollercoaster of emotions ! And believe me, you will or already have binged the show ^^. Love your detailed reaction/review - I am looking forward to your next reaction uploads of Arcane. Also, thankfully a second season is already announced to be in production. A little ray of hope after the first season's after depression that befalls you when you finished the season because you will crave so much mooooore and need to deal with that frustration XD Can't get enough of the Loveletter Arcane Masterpiece (the creators said in the interview Arcane is their loveletter and thanks to all the LoL fans)!
It's freaky how many things you noticed and how much theorizing you got out of a single episode. You gave me back my own confidence on my analysis on the characters, which was getting shaky after going over it again and again. Loved your reaction, you are definitively going to like the show.
Yeeeees! I was lowkey hoping you guys would do this as one of your non-anime reactions! I really hope you guys enjoy the ride, I look forward to reliving it with you.
I just found this channel, and now I can't wait for you to watch the rest of this series. The first episode is good, but if anything, it only gets better from there.
there was so much love and passion poured into the art direction, style and animation. I could see this show being used as study material in animation classes one day.
you guys are definitely my favorite reactors by far. i love seeing the reactions, sure, but the analysis and discussion afterwards is what really makes you guys stand out to me.
I literally sprung up on my chair when I saw this on my recommended. This is going to be Amazing!
YES, FINALLY! You two are literally my favourite anime reactors guys, but I wasn't interested in the shows you are currently reacting, so I was stalking the channel quietly for a while. I am so glad that you decided to react to this, it will be an awesome ride.
Yes! Post more. You guys are catching everything. It’s gonna hit you like a train. It’s so good.
When you know the game every name reveal is a BIG deal. I got chills over several of them.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS TO REACT TO THIS!!!! was shocked when I saw this on my fyp, your my favorite reactors and this is one of my favorite shows this season absolutely immaculate in every way 👍❤❤🔥
Your reactions are the only ones where I truly enjoy the discussions after
Over an hour video on episode 1? Oh baby we're going to be eating good tonight. You guys are gonna LOVE this series and there is SO MUCH to get into with it
Excited to see your reactions to this! Also Caleb with his Jojo shirt. Hoping they react to part 6 the moment it gets released.
I love that they introduced Silco with a near-literal "Kick the puppy" badguy moment.
It took the animators 6 years to hand-drawn the animation and i say, the wait was worth it. Looks amazing ❤️
This show is a danger to me because now I have to keep reminding myself of all the reasons I QUIT league! This show so far outstrips my experience with the game that it’s tempting me back!
If you like card games, Legends of Runeterra is really good (and a lot less toxic than League)
Go play a good game like kotor
Goddamn they read so far into little details, the upsetting part is how good their predictions were
so excited for this one! ive been a fan of you guys ever since your mp100 s2 reactions, though the difference this time is that i'm finally supporting yall in patreon lmao. cant wait to see your journey through this amazing show!
Man, oh man, you guys are in for a deeply emotional journey! I'm so happy to see you cover this. I don't suppose you could speed up the series to one act per week, just like we watched it? 🙄🧐😉
More seriously, at least watch Arcane one act at a time, as was intended, so the episodes don't lose impact over time.
OH SHIT, THE BOYS ARE REACTING TO IT FINALLY!! THIS IS GONNA BE LEGIT!
Omg I'm so happy you guys are doing Arcane!!! This is gonna be the highlight of my weeks I can already tell 😍 Mondays seem bearable suddenly 🤣
I tune in here weekly for YYH but seeing you watch Arcane too is amazing, can't wait !
Finally, I love everything about this show. I'm glad we finally get to see your reactions.
One little detail I'd love for you guys to remember without spoiling anything is remember the line "He paid in gold and didn't even haggle." It will be brought back to amazing effect later.
TIS THE SEASON!! Thanks for reacting to this boys!
In the first three minutes of this video I knew they’d love the show
So heckin' excited to see this reaction. I haven't been following many of your recent series, but I absolutely love your work
Didn’t think you guys would react to this! So excited
I just started and finished this show today, and knew I needed to watch your reactions. I love this show already
Finally I've waiting for this reaction for some weeks now.
I already watched ur reaction on twitch but I’m watching again just for the audio lol
glad you guys are watching shows im into again, miss this channel
SAME!
The foreshadowing....the mask when ekko is listening in on vander and the others...
Jacob: "None of the champions are kids"
Annie: *laughs in Tibbers*
Awesome reaction as always boys!
YOOOO I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS COMING LET’S GOO
I've watched this video 3 times now. Can't wait for the reactions to the following episodes
If I have to wait another 6 years, I'll be happy to. Here's to hope that Season 2 is every bit as awesome.
2:30 OMG ... you will love this show
I don't think I've seen any reactor make the same analysis about powder during the fight that u guys did
I am so happy you guys are reacting to this, I was drawn into your AOT episodes and I'm so excited for this
I'm in love with this show. SO glad you two reacted to it!
If you love stories about family, then this show is absolutely going to break your heart.
If you are curious, these are the characters who are playable in the moba:
(spoiler warning, maybe)
Jinx (powder)
Vi
(Vander)
Ekko (little man)
Singed
Jayce
Viktor
Caitlyn
Mel (just a theory at this point, but she fits a teaser we got for the next champ, and theyd be stupid not to use an arcane character)
Don't think we have confirmation on Vander yet, but you are probably correct.
@@Michael-bn1oi we did, you see a half-vander half-warwick hanging at the end of episode 9 (also they tease this SO heavily that its kinda confirmed even without that)
It's confirmed that neither the new adc or the new support will be Arcane characters.
Nice reaction. I like the investment, enthusiasm and attention to detail. It's definitely warranted.
Also the discussion at the end
2:26 didn't even started to watch this show, but already gave a really good description of it, is this some sort of psychic abilities
Oh damn I'm excited for you guys to watch this. I knew nothing of LoL going into this and was blown away. S tier execution on almost all fronts (animation, voice acting, writing, etc).
its btw all painted with hands, no 3D. thats such an amazing work.
Jacob's a Dota2 person? Nice!
I played league back in, what, 2009-2010 and then stopped once Dota2 came around. Never looked back. That being said, Arcane is a masterpiece in terms of technical animation and it's a very pleasant experience overall. I wish Valve had gone a similar path for Dragon's Blood, they've shown they can pull it off with Expiration Date and multiple TF2 "meet the" trailers, but alas...
Anyways, excited for your reactions to this show guys!
all episodes of this shaw are masterpiece, you'll see that
