I’m shock at how bad this season was compared to Season 1 😂 It’s still better than most modern slop, but they definitely lost the magic with this season compared to season 1. 7.7/10
It’s suppose to. I feel like really good shows should leave you wanting more. And that’s what keeps you rewatching the show or to start playing the game which is one of the main goals
Honestly I thought it was so fulfilling. Everyone sort of coming out ’ on top’ except for three seemingly irredeemable or cursed at times characters, and they were given beautiful dignified ends imo
The singing part with Heimerdinger was SO well done and took my completely by surprise the moment I realized who is supposed to be singing there. Mick Wingert has an amazing voice!
Right!! It was so cool to hear him play it in the scene, and listening to it again while focusing on the lyrics it’s so beautiful. Feels like a father’s advice on navigating the perils of life. Also I love that they chose a banjo. Really beautifully done
Same! It simultaneously provided a moment of quiet reflection in this alternate dimension, but also put into perspective the past and the fight to come. Ekko choosing to leave what was objectively a better life, and Heimerdinger making a choice of his own to help Ekko return to and save their original timeline, was about as selfless as you could get!
I love how they touch deeply on mental health through Jinx, showing it raw. The struggle between the bad thoughts and the good person you once were fighting to get out. Showing that it's possible to break through the patterns, it's really touching. I can't believe it's over. Arcane will truly forever be one of the greatest shows, the animation, soundtrack, voice actors and story are all amazing. Big props for not rushing it and genuinely taking care, love, attention and time to make it truly shine for what it was meant to be. Perfect.
The quality of the first season is so high that I suspect that it is not so simple. If you spread a certain type of information beyond a critical mass, it will shift the psychology of the world itself.
The way that Harry Lloyd switches his accent so easily is just mesmerising. He has given Viktor the most angelic and comforting voice throughout these two beautiful seasons and his performance deserves so much more love and recognition! He truly is the most GLORIOUS actor/voice actor out there in my opinion 🙌💙
I could listen to Viktor’s voice and accent for days. Especially the more he becomes detached from his humanity. There’s something so twisted but also so interesting and even soothing about it.
2020's adaptations have been excellent....some off the top of my head, in no particular order Sonic/Sonic2 Super Mario Bros The Last Of Us Fallout The Witcher Castlevania
"he's a paradox of a person" is such a fitting way to describe victor. His character is so many things that they contradict each other in a really interesting way. I love this all so much!!
This entire series is a masterpiece. Everything is so well done. There will not be another animated show like this for many years. A+ animation A+ characters A+ story A+ artwork and visuals A+ world building
@@dontmind_MyName I agree that season one is better. I still enjoyed season two, but I suspect that it will worsen on rewatches rathen than improve as season one has done.
netflix only streams it, you genius, its riots, workers, and creators, especially christian linke and alex yee the showrunners, aka writers, etc, but also Fortiche the animation studio from paris
Hailee is seriously phenomenal as Vi AND Gwen. Ella as Jinx though isn’t only my favourite voice acting performance ever but it’s also one of my absolute favourite acting performances period-across ALL types of acting. I find myself to be genuinely stunned at certain points in the show with how good Ella is as Jinx. I love her voice and the expressions & emotions that she’s able to portray through her voice is ridiculous. She is so wildly talented. This of course also goes for every other actor in the show. They’re all wildly talented, and they’re a huge part of the reason why I adore Arcane.
This is probable the best show I've ever watched. Nothing I've seen before did such a great job and being so perfect. The visuals, the voices, the story and the music/sounds worked all so well together. You could really feel the creativeness in every aspect and how the artists were able to have a certain freedom that at the same time still synchronizes so well together with the other elements for example the songs perfectly catch the scenes emotions and at the same time the visuals are changing so it fits the scene but at the same time the whole show. For me personally Arcane sets a new standard for shows for certain. I wait with pleasure if the quality of the show is so well done. We need way more people like Christian Linke and Alex Yee, who were so passionate about this project, they literally gave it their all and wanted to create the best possible masterpiece they were able to. I certainly certainly hope these 2 guys enjoyed creating these 2 shows to the point that they would like to create more. The whole backstory of how Arcane was created is awesome and very very inspiring to me.
Finally some Katie Leung content. I was hoping she also spend some time promoting the show. She has been so important specially this season. i want to see more of her.
With how central Caitlyn has been this season, I was a bit disappointed that she wasn't featured at the start of the promotions, but it's nice to see her included now.
@@elaa673 I think she's been tied with other projects - also she is naturally a very shy person and often refuses to participate at all with these things. It was the reason she didn't attend the season 1 premiere apparently.
4:30 sevika's line: "We don't hand over our people" shows how she deserves the spot to lead ZAUN, she has the experience with Vander and Silco's reign in the undercity. So well written deserves all the love for her character
And I think she's gonna be better leader even than vander especially after all that happen in season 2, she still have zaun fundamental believe but yet she's flexible enough to work with piltover for greater good and she deserves that position
I was always a big fan of Sevika. Not once did I ever see her as a villain. She just wants what’s best for Zaun. In her own mind Vander’s way wasn’t working so she sided with Silco and now he’s dead and Jinx is now the symbol so she does her best to stick with her even if she doesn’t like her much.
@@SiCxStYlEs yeah i always read that she went where she felt she could make a difference. She even challenged both Vander and Silco when she had to. I appreciate this in her. She's a very steadfast character.
The whole budget for Arcane was worth 100%. My deepest respect to the writers, producers, animators, music composers, actors and every single person who contributed on this masterpiece.
I remember everyone talking about how good this show was when season 1 dropped, and I thought "meh I don't know anything about league of legends or really care about anything from it." Then a week ago I kept hearing about season 2 being incredible, and I gave it a chance, and I'm so glad I brushed it off until now. I don't think I could've been patient waiting for season 2. The whole show is just so well done, I couldn't believe it. I really hope they continue adding to this world. Amazing work, thank you to everyone who gave their all in making this show. I'm gonna have to say it might be one of my all time favorite shows.
My experience exactly. I cared nothing about LOL and went into this show like "meh, fine, let's see what it's about" I knew nothing and expected nothing out of it and it blew me tf away. I'm SO GLAD I only got to it now, if I had to wait years for a new season I might have a fit
8:00 NEVER have I seen a show hit this level of perfection when selecting musical pieces. Because it was more than taking over. Many of those songs take their scenes to heartbreak levels. Those songs have embedded those images in my mind. Truly Glorious Cinema.
I can't express how much I love this show and these characters. How they were portrayed is perfect, the animation is amazing, the storytelling is gripping and beautiful and painful. I have been thinking about the show nonstop since I watched it and I'm still in love. 10000/10 All i can do is hope for another glimpse into this world and excitedly wait on what comes next. Thank you guys so much for making this.
For me personally, Arcane is the best show I've ever watched. A perfect 10/10. It made me laugh, it made me cry... a lot. The music, the visuals and the dramaturgy just hit a perfect spot and made me really feel for the characters and the world. I was fully immersed and I'm sad that it was the last season. But because it was so perfectly written, I don't feel empty after watching it, because it feels so complete. Maybe another season would've done more harm, since it just can't be topped. Congratulations and mad respect for everyone involved in the making, you've done an incredible job. And I'm looking forward to the next series in the League of Legends universe.
I disagree. That's exactly one of Arcane's biggest strengths. I was so worried that they would try to milk that exact story for all they can get. It was planned for two seasons, they delivered two absolutely incredible seasons, and now I want them to move on. I'm very much open for new stories, but I'm really really glad that they kept it at the planned two seasons for Arcane. And the good thing is, that universe has so many more stories left to tell. I just hope that they have the same team do some of them. And I also want them to take the time they need; please no MCU with six releases a year type of crap ^^'
@@thethingthatshouldnotbe3035 as much as I agree with the milking of the story. I think acts 1 and 2 should have been season 2 and Act 3 a separate season. We miss out on so many opportunities for character growth (Caitlyn) and a lot of rushed moments were included in this season. Regardless Arcane stays as one of the best shows I've ever watched and not sure how anything else will compare
4 smart people talking about "OMG! Only 2 seasons!" Guys, this is Runeterra exploring Arcane. You literally seen Noxians appeared in in the first 2 seasons, are you expecting Pilties and Zaunites to just not show up on other regions such as Demacia, Noxus, Bilgewater, Bandle Freljord, Ionia and some f**ing more?
season 2 was too squeezed, isha's sacrifice should've been the cliff hanger finale of season 2 and act 3 had enough substance to make it season 3 possibly with separate episodes for each timeline etc. Well, now we need to wait for Demacia vs Freljord
It occurred to me on many occasions throughout the episodes, yes. For example, there are some takes on the "healing village" with that center construction that made me feel truly transported. Along many others. A true masterpiece, work of art in many ways.
One of the best things about Arcane is the voice acting. It’s one of the best I’ve ever seen, you can actually feel the emotion of the characters and feel there pain. A lot of people can’t act a character with BPD like Ella can, she’s one of the best I’ve ever seen and it’s amazing. Jinx is by far my fav character in this show.
I've never been so obsessed with a series. My bf is a big league player and he got me into arcane about 2 years ago and I have been amazed ever since. The amount of times I've cried because its just that good.
@@A_Random_Guy_Who_Animates so playing a video game is a red flag?? what has this generation become aparently hobbies are red flags now not the people who evn talk about red flags
Kevin Alejandro's normal voice already sounds exactly like Jayce, I think he's the closest to sound like his character in a normal conversation out of all the voice actors cast.
there's a five part docuseries on bts of season 1 called bridging the rift all on youtube. highly recommend, gives so many cool insights to basically all aspects of the show
he's been doing really well in VA. He recently voiced the main villain from Final Fantasy XVI(which was also similar to Viktor's final form in S2, an emotionally detached magic god with a grand design in mind). hope they cast him in other types of roles as well, cause he is really good and in GoT also shown charm, sweet talk, and anger, which weren't too present in his recent roles
it really makes a difference when the show is a pure product of passion from everyone involved. this made me so emotional, what a tremendous job they did
There’s just no words to express how much passion and love is put into this animated series. I love everything, the characters, the personalities, the emotional depth, the animation, the art, colors, background. I could get lost and rewatch all the episodes overanalyzing and looking at all the hard work and dedication. This is so inspiring to me, to put this much effort into my art, being a voice actor, an animator, and artist takes so much skill, and time. And I just- feel so inspired right now to try my best because hhhh I love arcane so much. I love everything and even the community is really nice too. (Some parts of it)
Hands down, one of my favorite shows ever. Never thought I'd be so obsessed with a show like this but here I am rewatching the whole thing over again and it just ended. I'm stoked to see what they've got for us in the future.
There was no reason for anyone who worked on this show to go this hard with everything but somehow they all did and for that I am forever thankful. Arcane is just a masterpiece and everyone who was a part of it can be so proud
I only started watching 'Arcane' the day before yesterday, and it completely exceeded my expectations. I'm not usually a big fan of animation, and I originally thought it gained popularity just because it was a game adaptation. However, the storyline, animation, voice acting, pacing, and special effects are all of very high quality, reaching the level of a movie. I binge-watched both seasons in two days, and it brought out a lot of emotions and feelings. Its brilliance is as astonishing as that of 'Avengers: Endgame' and 'The Dark Knight Rises'."
Just when you gone through whole Arcane emotionally, getting smacked and lifted back up, then smacked again, thinking now that Arcane is gone I'll be fine now, I'll get over with. They go and realease this video. And you see the amount of love and dedication they have put into this and how they are proud to be part of this something really amazing and trully unique experience to all of us. Which simply brings back all the emotions you have gone through while watching. I applaud to you ALL who were part of this project. What a journey!
Heimerdinger feeling rejected by Zaun in his world and not having a place to belong, and then finding that in the alternate universe and choosing to stay there filled my heart with such sorrow and joy for his character. He got Ekko home and stayed where he was not only welcomed but had Powder and another Ekko to teach, love, and be a part of this beautiful version of Zaun. I loved his arc and happy ending.
@@ByEmmethes a yordle and they are immortal. when they die they just respwawn in burdle city, buttt idk how much of league they made canon for him so he might be dead
It's been a long time since a show has moved me in such a way. Idk what kind of creative crack the team of League of Legends takes but keep it coming. The passion that's poured into everything they do - from the cinematic's to the productions paired with the incredible OST's at the world championship - is so palpable. It almost makes me want to play the game... Almost.
10:12 had me tearing up. i love and adore this show with every bone in my body. the 3 year wait was so worth it everyone did PHENOMENAL. (jinx walked on beat there lol)
I love arcane so much. I feel empty now that it’s over. The fact millions of people around the world, are so attached to these characters also is amazing.
My favourite scene would have to be the Caits mums funeral. Heartbreakingly beautiful. The whole show was a masterpiece. I sometimes think its so ahead of its time that some people just cant grasp its brilliance. For me, this show was a love story. The love of family.. lovers.. friendships.. Become hero's or villains. Sacrifice. It was so poetic. I wish we got one more season with these characters. Well done to the Arcane team.
The thing that continues to blow me away about that scene is just how much emotion they're able to evoke in the viewer without a single word of dialogue. The combination of visual art, in combination with the ever so subtle facial emotes on Caitlyn's face speaks volumes about how much Caitlyn is fighting to keep from weeping in public. Not to mention how hard the music hits at the same time.
Even though every single one of them did incredibly in their own part, you can see how being a part of something so grand and awesome has them all feeling humble too. What an incredible collaboration
It wouldn't surprise me if they tried to match some of the facial features to better be able to use the footage of the va's recording their lines as reference
Let's be honest for a sec.....this show really set the bar sooo high man!!!.....maybe it's not perfection....but it's closest thing there is to it.....the animation....the characters.....the emotions and connection you feel with them.....just WOW !!!!! Best animated show ever for me
i could watch a whole 5 hours (and more!!!) documentary series of this show and i wouldn’t get bored of it. so glad i had the chance to experience arcane
I absolutely LOVEEE how much the voice actors understand not only their characters but the characters of the show and how they interact with each other and what that does for the story that is being told. That's so important to really capture a cohesive delivery in the voicework of all the characters but also so that the characters come out as genuine as possible. i'm honestly most impressed with Jinx's voice and character because it's hard to write a character frequently in states of psychosis without it sounding cliche or unbelievable or potentially just offensive, but I think it was all done really well in Arcane and you can tell the creators had a very clear vision for what they were creating.
Thank you riot and fortiche and the artists, musicians, voice actors, animators every single person who has contributed to this masterpiece in any way. Thank you so much for this insanity. This show has truly irrevocably changed me forever. I will never ever forget it in this lifetime. Thank you for the wonderful stories and plot and female characters and layers and representation!!! Not a single show has affected me this much ever. It just gets you man. So thank you so much. This show will always have a place in my heart. ALSO THANK YOU FOR VI ❤❤❤
This season was nearly perfect. It wasn't as good as I expected but as Jayce said that there is a beauty in imperfection. they made you who you are. This season in emotional and visual rollercoaster. And all I have to say is this was an experience I will never forget. Truly a masterpiece by big M. And now I will patently wait for what comes next for this world. Goodbye Arcane and thank you for this incredible journey
The miracle of Arcane is its ability to have many main characters and interwoven plotlines. When Jayce shoots Viktor it causes your mind to rush through all of the characters and ask how it is going to impact everyone on an individual level. It puts us all in the mind of Viktor, looking for some type of resolution in the chaos of reality.
or how when Jayce touches the hexcore in the basement and it messes up Vi/Jinx and Cait/Sevika's weapons and affects their fights. Things happening at the same time in different places affecting each other, how everything connects
I'm never gonna stop talking about "Arcane". This show taught me what is acceptance. If someone you love going to change just accept the way they are. The moments we have with the our loved ones it's not infinite but love is.
Both seasons of this show where incredible. Granted they were a bit different from one another, but after giving some thought to it, I think that works in the show's favour. Here's my explanation: Season 1 focused on more of the situation of poverty and hierarchy between these two cities and how its leaking into the lives of people, which can either turn them bad, make them ignorant, or just tough as nails and caring either only for themselves or anyone they cared about. We got to learn about the characters and some insights into their hopes and dreams. It was a great way to tell a narrative about two civilisations in trouble, with many moments in the show about ways of trying to find peace, only for all the characters to realise that they only way they could find peace in their lives was to make peace with themselves, which is how Season 2 starts. The narrative of the upcoming war between Piltover and Zaun was pushed to one side to give more time to the characters, and we really got to see some of them at their lowest, thus wanting nothing more for them than to get back up off the ground and rise up from rock bottom. By resolving their flaws, embracing their imperfections, and learning about themselves and their loved ones more, they not only made peace with themselves, but were able to come together in the end because of it, and bring peace to their homes. Personally, I think that's a great way of bringing the story full circle. Start with the setting, and end with it's people. This show truly was something special :)
All the haters and nitpickers on Twitter should watch this. The show is absolutely incredible and I don’t see how anyone could not like it. The amount of work fortiche and the actors put into this show is beyond anything imagined. They put their hearts and souls into Arcane. The characters, relationships, storyline, graphics and music are at the top of all shows I’ve watched. Arcane will always be my favorite show to watch. I always catch more the more I watch it. Never gets boring.
I mean there are fair critisisms you can make. I for one feel that the ending got too big too quick and so lost some of its initmacy. Perhaps it could have used another act to build slower too it, and clean it up a little. That being said, its still a fantastic show!
@@__-fm5qv the point of the story is the urgency of the situation, thats why people think its rushed, people are dissatisfied yet look at the circumstances, i think the pacing was just fine. its a story of tragedy, not one with happy endings with everyone's favorite ships together and focusing on the intimacy, when in fact people need to see the bigger picture. it was never going to end well no matter what there is nothing to clean up. you dont need extra dialogue to get the point across
@@__-fm5qvI agree. I felt like for a show that very much relied on the audience getting to know the characters well, the final few episodes were much more story-driven. By no means was the plot bad, but I would have liked it to have been a bit more spaced out to witness the characters’ growth, a lot of which seemed to have happened off screen.
the show is 100% amazing and hope the studio can do more high quality productions of this type. But the 2nd season just had too many stories and conflicts to tell, and between the anomaly and hextech , arcane, black rose mages it got too complicated, while the emotional focus was still mainly on vi and jinx. Felt like too many duos and not enough connection without the upper / undercity rivarly or the big councle to bring things together.
@@5p1t definitely could’ve been split between two seasons, with season 2 perhaps ending at Isha’s death as well as Viktor’s “death”, and season 3 spending more time on Ekko and Mel, as well as spending more time on Vi and Jinx’s development during the aftermath of Vander’s death and lead-up to the war.
The soundtrack to Season 2 was probably the best I’ve ever heard. I can’t even think of any other songs that would mirror the scenes/characters any more perfectly! Literally one of the best animated shows ever to exist. I can’t believe they doubted the potential Arcane would have! It’s so brilliant, words cant possibly describe how amazing it is and how talented every animator and voice actors were ❤ Thank you for your service, Arcane !
Perfect series. The animation, the music, the characters, the depth, the lines, the world, everything. I took days off and set my alarm at midnight so I could go on Netflix every act and watch every episode in a row as soon as they came out.
Netflix and the Arcane team... you guys should be SO immensely proud of your work here. Amazing writing, animations, actors. It's truly a piece of art. It's undoubtedly one of the greatest shows ever created.
Badly wanted to see and hear them in a sound booth since i watched arcane years ago. Thank you! Also, i love that they didn't even bother to add a clip of Reed in a booth bec he already sounds Ekko while talking 😭
Search on youtube "Bridging the Rift", its a five part documentary on the production of Arcane, made by Riot in collaboration with Fortiche. Its as incredible as the show itself.
Arcane will always be one of my favorite shows, like Hailee said, “the dynamics and perception of self” like I won’t spoil it if people haven’t seen it but this show is something powerful and yet emotional in a sense. I will always resonate with Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn, and everybody in Season 2. I don’t think I have cried so much watching a show like Arcane. Arcane’s story will always live on in my heart ❤
There are rare moments in animation I have enjoyed in my life from my childhood to now. There is something special about Arcane. The characters are well written and the writing is amazing. I haven’t felt this way about entertainment since I went to see Star Wars as a 6 year old kid in 1977. Well done to the creators, animation team and actors. It was truly beautiful. A masterpiece for all time. Thank you for this experience.
Man, I loved every second of this season, even if the story felt rushed at some points. Its a work of art, a masterpiece. Everyone has outdone himself on this series and I feel the emptiness you feel when you have finished to watch/play/read something really special. Kudos to everyone and an extra round of applause for everyone involved for the soundtrack. So many goosebump and emotional, tearjerking moments carried by the amazing music to it.
Thank you all guys, you gave us serious traumas and heartbreaks but also one of, if not THE greatest videogame adaptation ever. Thanks to everybody who worked in this series but i gotta give my personal flowers to Hailee and Ella. You both brought to life Vi and Jinx. Your job was EXTRAORDINARY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! ARCANE IS FOREVER! ❤
you guys truly made the best animated television show that i have ever seen. every. single. thing that i wanted and needed from this show was delivered to me with interest. there wasn't a single frame that i wasn't blown away with the 11/10 animation, sound design and believability. i forget who said it, but this is one of the most immersive shows that i have ever seen. i felt moved to look at life differently. i can't wait for future spinoff series and im sure that they will be just as good if not better🙏🏾

It is SO COOL how different Ella Purnell and Jinx’s voices are, it really shows how talented a voice actor she is.

@@vincentvalenzuela5718 I don't know why but Cho Chang looked prettier to me when I was younger (like 15 years ago), but now she looks pretty average.
The blue backlight on Ella's hair and pink backlight on Hailee's is perfection.

Also, there's a red reflection on Ella's eyes... I can almost picture her as Jinx 😮
Sometimes those light reflect in their eyes.
and it's accurate since jinx has pink eyes and vi has blue eyes.

i was right there with you man, i had NO tears left
It was a very sad ending and I would have cried. But, I lost that ability.
Same dude, same. I probably cried in half of the episodes.
Did some hard man tears😂 was so good
How dare yt hide this from me for 25 seconds
You get me
😂😂they hid it from me for 20 whole minutes
🤣
🤨
38 minutes for me. I'm so disappointed
The singing part with Heimerdinger was SO well done and took my completely by surprise the moment I realized who is supposed to be singing there. Mick Wingert has an amazing voice!
It was not good.
Right!! It was so cool to hear him play it in the scene, and listening to it again while focusing on the lyrics it’s so beautiful. Feels like a father’s advice on navigating the perils of life. Also I love that they chose a banjo. Really beautifully done
Same! It simultaneously provided a moment of quiet reflection in this alternate dimension, but also put into perspective the past and the fight to come. Ekko choosing to leave what was objectively a better life, and Heimerdinger making a choice of his own to help Ekko return to and save their original timeline, was about as selfless as you could get!
Make it better. @@supremeleader9872

I love how they touch deeply on mental health through Jinx, showing it raw. The struggle between the bad thoughts and the good person you once were fighting to get out. Showing that it's possible to break through the patterns, it's really touching. I can't believe it's over. Arcane will truly forever be one of the greatest shows, the animation, soundtrack, voice actors and story are all amazing. Big props for not rushing it and genuinely taking care, love, attention and time to make it truly shine for what it was meant to be. Perfect.
It’s kind of like schizophrenia and bipolar for me, it’s quite a dynamic of getting better and worse..
The quality of the first season is so high that I suspect that it is not so simple. If you spread a certain type of information beyond a critical mass, it will shift the psychology of the world itself.

The way that Harry Lloyd switches his accent so easily is just mesmerising. He has given Viktor the most angelic and comforting voice throughout these two beautiful seasons and his performance deserves so much more love and recognition! He truly is the most GLORIOUS actor/voice actor out there in my opinion 🙌💙
He pulls off the central/Eastern Europe accent so well and as someone who is half Slavic, it’s amazing to see it pulled off so well
His voice acting in ep 6 of s2 was heavenly. That whole conversation with Singed 😍
Viktor's accent is something unique 🥰
Almost can’t believe that it’s King Viserys III
Hes amazing. Look for his narration of The Hedge Knight by George RR Martin
I could listen to Viktor’s voice and accent for days. Especially the more he becomes detached from his humanity. There’s something so twisted but also so interesting and even soothing about it.
Ella Purnell being in Fallout, Sweetpea on top of Arcane, and Hailee Steinfield in Spider verse and Young Avengers... Nerds eating GOOD this year
Young Avengers apparently going by the name "Champions" now since they're not that young anymore.
Arcane is an example of fine cuisine.
Then there's gas station food...(eg Borderlands, Gran Turismo)
@@Mertaranta so after Vi, she's playing another Champion? *wink*

Real
Arcane gives me hope for future video game adaptations. This series will forever be legendary.
*Bordelands enter chat* xD yeah, maybe, let's see^^
2020's adaptations have been excellent....some off the top of my head, in no particular order
Sonic/Sonic2
Super Mario Bros
The Last Of Us
Fallout
The Witcher
Castlevania
It just can't be done or affiliated with hollywood, and *maybe* there's a chance.
Nah since 2020 the adaptations were improving
Netflix is actually amazing with their video game adaptations - Arcane, Edgerunners, Witcher, Castlevania and soon to be Tomb Raider
It's so funny to me that the voice actors look like their characters. Idk if that was on purpose when casting them or not, but I just love that...
The universe aligned to give us a match made in Orns workshop 😂
All of the VAs could easily cosplay their characters, especially Jinx's VA cause she kinda resembles her. Love it.
I want to see that so bad 😭
Sevika as well
Sevika looks so much like her VA... I was shocked
Uhm can't beat Ekko though 🤣
I'd die for a jinx cosplay from Ella Purnell, her eyes give off jinx vibes so much lol
"he's a paradox of a person" is such a fitting way to describe victor. His character is so many things that they contradict each other in a really interesting way. I love this all so much!!
Really befitting of the whole "Two sides of the same coin" thing
This entire series is a masterpiece. Everything is so well done. There will not be another animated show like this for many years.
A+ animation
A+ characters

Nah, the writing in s2 was so much worse than in s1
@@dontmind_MyName I agree that season one is better. I still enjoyed season two, but I suspect that it will worsen on rewatches rathen than improve as season one has done.
@@dontmind_MyName Both seasons were great. Relax.
Netflix baby, this show is amazing to historic levels.
But you still owe me therapy
They own a lot of people therapy, including myself
Not Netflix, Riot and Fortiche.
netflix only streams it, you genius, its riots, workers, and creators, especially christian linke and alex yee the showrunners, aka writers, etc, but also Fortiche the animation studio from paris
Now they need to fix Avatar The Last Airbender and finally end this live action fantasy.
LMAOOO
Hailee is seriously phenomenal as Vi AND Gwen. Ella as Jinx though isn’t only my favourite voice acting performance ever but it’s also one of my absolute favourite acting performances period-across ALL types of acting. I find myself to be genuinely stunned at certain points in the show with how good Ella is as Jinx. I love her voice and the expressions & emotions that she’s able to portray through her voice is ridiculous. She is so wildly talented. This of course also goes for every other actor in the show. They’re all wildly talented, and they’re a huge part of the reason why I adore Arcane.
and the fact that it isnt ella's actual accent is PURE TALENT N SKILL!
Ella as Lucy in Fallout was also really good
She's great in yellow jackets and sweat pea too
I love ‘em both so much. It’s so satisfying watching talented young people come into their own.
Okay but what about Powder (Mia Sinclair Jenness)?
This is probable the best show I've ever watched. Nothing I've seen before did such a great job and being so perfect. The visuals, the voices, the story and the music/sounds worked all so well together. You could really feel the creativeness in every aspect and how the artists were able to have a certain freedom that at the same time still synchronizes so well together with the other elements for example the songs perfectly catch the scenes emotions and at the same time the visuals are changing so it fits the scene but at the same time the whole show.
For me personally Arcane sets a new standard for shows for certain. I wait with pleasure if the quality of the show is so well done. We need way more people like Christian Linke and Alex Yee, who were so passionate about this project, they literally gave it their all and wanted to create the best possible masterpiece they were able to. I certainly certainly hope these 2 guys enjoyed creating these 2 shows to the point that they would like to create more. The whole backstory of how Arcane was created is awesome and very very inspiring to me.
I'm always in awe of Katie Leung's performance as Caitlyn
Right, she’s a good voice actor
She's so perfect as Caitlyn. They are all perfect for their roles.
you like say gex?
She Cho Chang in Harry Potter right?
@@lissandrafreljord7913 Yes 😁
Finally some Katie Leung content. I was hoping she also spend some time promoting the show. She has been so important specially this season. i want to see more of her.
With how central Caitlyn has been this season, I was a bit disappointed that she wasn't featured at the start of the promotions, but it's nice to see her included now.
Think she’s been filming for Bridgerton
And Mel Medarda's voice actor too!
@@elaa673 I think she's been tied with other projects - also she is naturally a very shy person and often refuses to participate at all with these things. It was the reason she didn't attend the season 1 premiere apparently.
Cho chang
you know the show is so good when it makes you cry and cheer like crazy
4:30 sevika's line:
"We don't hand over our people"
shows how she deserves the spot to lead ZAUN,
she has the experience with Vander and Silco's reign in the undercity.
So well written deserves all the love for her character
And I think she's gonna be better leader even than vander especially after all that happen in season 2, she still have zaun fundamental believe but yet she's flexible enough to work with piltover for greater good and she deserves that position
Sevika's VA looks exactly like her
I was always a big fan of Sevika. Not once did I ever see her as a villain. She just wants what’s best for Zaun. In her own mind Vander’s way wasn’t working so she sided with Silco and now he’s dead and Jinx is now the symbol so she does her best to stick with her even if she doesn’t like her much.
I like the way Sevika protected Jinx and Isha
@@SiCxStYlEs yeah i always read that she went where she felt she could make a difference. She even challenged both Vander and Silco when she had to. I appreciate this in her. She's a very steadfast character.
Sevika has one of the most underrated voices
Definitely. I mean the show as a whole has a pretty impressive and hard hitting list of VA's, but Amirah is instantly recognizable...
She sounds so bad ass
She kinda sounds like sojourn from ow2
@@oioi6979 I can kinda see that actually 😄
so real
They ABSOLUTELY K***ED it. Voice actors,story writers, graphic designers and my god those music etc,..
The whole budget for Arcane was worth 100%. My deepest respect to the writers, producers, animators, music composers, actors and every single person who contributed on this masterpiece.
I haven't had this feeling watching a series since Game of Thrones at it's peak
Yeah I gotta say this is ground-breaking animation and story quality - a truly unique gem.
9:48 ekko says "id love to see how it affected others" like this wasnt the most gut renching show
Dude, it's his VA, not Ekko himself.
@@31redorange08 it's funny because his speaking voice is exactly like Ekko's without having to go in character
I think he says “I love”, not “I’d love”, meaning he’s already and continues to experience fans’ reactions first-hand.
I remember everyone talking about how good this show was when season 1 dropped, and I thought "meh I don't know anything about league of legends or really care about anything from it."
Then a week ago I kept hearing about season 2 being incredible, and I gave it a chance, and I'm so glad I brushed it off until now. I don't think I could've been patient waiting for season 2. The whole show is just so well done, I couldn't believe it. I really hope they continue adding to this world. Amazing work, thank you to everyone who gave their all in making this show. I'm gonna have to say it might be one of my all time favorite shows.
My experience exactly. I cared nothing about LOL and went into this show like "meh, fine, let's see what it's about" I knew nothing and expected nothing out of it and it blew me tf away. I'm SO GLAD I only got to it now, if I had to wait years for a new season I might have a fit
EXACTLY HOW I FEEL. I would've lost my mind if I had to wait for s2
8:00 NEVER have I seen a show hit this level of perfection when selecting musical pieces. Because it was more than taking over. Many of those songs take their scenes to heartbreak levels. Those songs have embedded those images in my mind. Truly Glorious Cinema.
Not even “selection”, every song was made for the show
exaclty what i was thinking and to learn every song was an original and to that level for perfection . I am in an awe. Just amazing. Hats off!!!!
This show is perfection. Everyone who worked on this project should feel like they created something very special for a lot of people.
They did bro, they did
I can't express how much I love this show and these characters. How they were portrayed is perfect, the animation is amazing, the storytelling is gripping and beautiful and painful. I have been thinking about the show nonstop since I watched it and I'm still in love. 10000/10 All i can do is hope for another glimpse into this world and excitedly wait on what comes next. Thank you guys so much for making this.

Ella is SO GOOD - like, I still struggle to reconcile the fact that she is voicing Jinx, even watching her in the booth in this video, like WOW
For me personally, Arcane is the best show I've ever watched. A perfect 10/10.
It made me laugh, it made me cry... a lot. The music, the visuals and the dramaturgy just hit a perfect spot and made me really feel for the characters and the world. I was fully immersed and I'm sad that it was the last season. But because it was so perfectly written, I don't feel empty after watching it, because it feels so complete. Maybe another season would've done more harm, since it just can't be topped.
Congratulations and mad respect for everyone involved in the making, you've done an incredible job.
And I'm looking forward to the next series in the League of Legends universe.
Arcane is one of the best pieces of media on this planet.
Agreed, agreed.
naaa, season two sucks BIG TIME. LOL
@@zigghie8285 Season 2 is better than 1. Imdb ratings also prove that.
S1 is the best. Nothing can top it. S2, however, is just 50% of its former glory.
@@XtineG-m7s Exactly, season 2 Act 1 was still pretty good but it all went downhill after that in my opinion.

Me too 🥹
GIRL I WAS GONNA SAY THIS 😭
mecore i am still ruined
Haha I still trying to recover from all emotions ... 😂🎉❤
For what? Nothing sad really happened.
All these voice actors are amazing. They really brought the characters to life.
The biggest problem is only 2 seasons!😩 some of the best animation I’ve ever seen🤯👌🏻
I disagree. That's exactly one of Arcane's biggest strengths. I was so worried that they would try to milk that exact story for all they can get. It was planned for two seasons, they delivered two absolutely incredible seasons, and now I want them to move on. I'm very much open for new stories, but I'm really really glad that they kept it at the planned two seasons for Arcane. And the good thing is, that universe has so many more stories left to tell. I just hope that they have the same team do some of them. And I also want them to take the time they need; please no MCU with six releases a year type of crap ^^'
@@thethingthatshouldnotbe3035 as much as I agree with the milking of the story. I think acts 1 and 2 should have been season 2 and Act 3 a separate season. We miss out on so many opportunities for character growth (Caitlyn) and a lot of rushed moments were included in this season. Regardless Arcane stays as one of the best shows I've ever watched and not sure how anything else will compare
@@thethingthatshouldnotbe3035 what are you saying... it was literally all rushed at the end, it could've been better to do it a bit longer.
4 smart people talking about "OMG! Only 2 seasons!" Guys, this is Runeterra exploring Arcane. You literally seen Noxians appeared in in the first 2 seasons, are you expecting Pilties and Zaunites to just not show up on other regions such as Demacia, Noxus, Bilgewater, Bandle Freljord, Ionia and some f**ing more?
season 2 was too squeezed, isha's sacrifice should've been the cliff hanger finale of season 2 and act 3 had enough substance to make it season 3 possibly with separate episodes for each timeline etc. Well, now we need to wait for Demacia vs Freljord
It truly embodies the saying, "Every frame, a painting." 🖼
Which is a great UA-cam channel, by the way
It occurred to me on many occasions throughout the episodes, yes. For example, there are some takes on the "healing village" with that center construction that made me feel truly transported. Along many others. A true masterpiece, work of art in many ways.
One of the best things about Arcane is the voice acting. It’s one of the best I’ve ever seen, you can actually feel the emotion of the characters and feel there pain. A lot of people can’t act a character with BPD like Ella can, she’s one of the best I’ve ever seen and it’s amazing. Jinx is by far my fav character in this show.
I've never been so obsessed with a series. My bf is a big league player and he got me into arcane about 2 years ago and I have been amazed ever since. The amount of times I've cried because its just that good.
Ahhhh…. No lie, If he plays league, it’s too late for him.
@@A_Random_Guy_Who_Animateslmao
Sorry to hear about your boyfriend but its cool he got you into the show at least (jk lol)
@@ghengis423 See, if it was Wild Rift, MAYBE he had a chance. But actual league? There’s no recovery.
@@A_Random_Guy_Who_Animates so playing a video game is a red flag?? what has this generation become aparently hobbies are red flags now not the people who evn talk about red flags
Kevin Alejandro's normal voice already sounds exactly like Jayce, I think he's the closest to sound like his character in a normal conversation out of all the voice actors cast.
I think Ekko sounds exactly the same as in the show
Ekko's VA doesn't even have to try. But yeah, Ekko and Jayce VA are so close to their characters.
Hailee is literally just Vi when she talks
The whole series gave us a rollercoaster of emotions. From the visuals, to the voice actors, to the music. It all hit every single spot perfectly.
Finally we get to see a behind the scenes
there's a five part docuseries on bts of season 1 called bridging the rift all on youtube. highly recommend, gives so many cool insights to basically all aspects of the show
@ ok
Yeah, I really hope they release more!
Did not know that Viktor was the great and only Viserys Targaryen from GoT. Nice to see he is doing well!! So talented actor!
he's been doing really well in VA. He recently voiced the main villain from Final Fantasy XVI(which was also similar to Viktor's final form in S2, an emotionally detached magic god with a grand design in mind). hope they cast him in other types of roles as well, cause he is really good and in GoT also shown charm, sweet talk, and anger, which weren't too present in his recent roles
Its fitting he was in this show where literally so many characters got butchered and killed, viktor’s soul form even resembles viserys
Still baffles me how much of a difference there is in their character that it’s hard to believe they were ever played by the same person
@@EricMcLovin13 OOOO that's why i thought Victor sounded familiar for some reason ....he was Ultima
Jayce went from sheltered and naive… to facing pain and gaining wisdom at 10x speed. We got to see him build that resiliency 😭❤
it really makes a difference when the show is a pure product of passion from everyone involved. this made me so emotional, what a tremendous job they did
Yep, not shareholders demands or executives meddling; let the creative people handle the creative decisions shouldn’t be such a rarity.
Katie Leung's voice acting is 🔥🔥🔥. Amazing job!
There’s just no words to express how much passion and love is put into this animated series. I love everything, the characters, the personalities, the emotional depth, the animation, the art, colors, background. I could get lost and rewatch all the episodes overanalyzing and looking at all the hard work and dedication. This is so inspiring to me, to put this much effort into my art, being a voice actor, an animator, and artist takes so much skill, and time. And I just- feel so inspired right now to try my best because hhhh I love arcane so much. I love everything and even the community is really nice too. (Some parts of it)
Hands down, one of my favorite shows ever. Never thought I'd be so obsessed with a show like this but here I am rewatching the whole thing over again and it just ended. I'm stoked to see what they've got for us in the future.
I wish we could get a full video of Ella and Hailee recording some lines, I find it so interesting
Far and away the best pieces of animation ever. You can really tell the artists put their heart and soul into every frame of animation.
There was no reason for anyone who worked on this show to go this hard with everything but somehow they all did and for that I am forever thankful. Arcane is just a masterpiece and everyone who was a part of it can be so proud
I CAN LISTEN TO ARCANE TEAM TALKS ABOUT MAKING ARCANE ALL DAY, BESIDES READING FAN’S ANALYSIS !
I only started watching 'Arcane' the day before yesterday, and it completely exceeded my expectations. I'm not usually a big fan of animation, and I originally thought it gained popularity just because it was a game adaptation. However, the storyline, animation, voice acting, pacing, and special effects are all of very high quality, reaching the level of a movie. I binge-watched both seasons in two days, and it brought out a lot of emotions and feelings. Its brilliance is as astonishing as that of 'Avengers: Endgame' and 'The Dark Knight Rises'."
Just when you gone through whole Arcane emotionally, getting smacked and lifted back up, then smacked again, thinking now that Arcane is gone I'll be fine now, I'll get over with. They go and realease this video. And you see the amount of love and dedication they have put into this and how they are proud to be part of this something really amazing and trully unique experience to all of us. Which simply brings back all the emotions you have gone through while watching. I applaud to you ALL who were part of this project. What a journey!
Heimerdinger feeling rejected by Zaun in his world and not having a place to belong, and then finding that in the alternate universe and choosing to stay there filled my heart with such sorrow and joy for his character. He got Ekko home and stayed where he was not only welcomed but had Powder and another Ekko to teach, love, and be a part of this beautiful version of Zaun. I loved his arc and happy ending.
I think he died my guy:/

It's been a long time since a show has moved me in such a way. Idk what kind of creative crack the team of League of Legends takes but keep it coming. The passion that's poured into everything they do - from the cinematic's to the productions paired with the incredible OST's at the world championship - is so palpable. It almost makes me want to play the game... Almost.
10:12 had me tearing up. i love and adore this show with every bone in my body. the 3 year wait was so worth it everyone did PHENOMENAL. (jinx walked on beat there lol)
Arcane made me cry, laugh, smile, and I’m glad to have been along for the ride. Thank you Arcane
I love arcane so much. I feel empty now that it’s over. The fact millions of people around the world, are so attached to these characters also is amazing.
My favourite scene would have to be the Caits mums funeral. Heartbreakingly beautiful. The whole show was a masterpiece. I sometimes think its so ahead of its time that some people just cant grasp its brilliance. For me, this show was a love story. The love of family.. lovers.. friendships.. Become hero's or villains. Sacrifice. It was so poetic. I wish we got one more season with these characters. Well done to the Arcane team.
The thing that continues to blow me away about that scene is just how much emotion they're able to evoke in the viewer without a single word of dialogue. The combination of visual art, in combination with the ever so subtle facial emotes on Caitlyn's face speaks volumes about how much Caitlyn is fighting to keep from weeping in public. Not to mention how hard the music hits at the same time.
8:43 "I'm like in a constant state of awe over this show and these characters" I LOVE that she says this…Me too. All the time.
Even though every single one of them did incredibly in their own part, you can see how being a part of something so grand and awesome has them all feeling humble too. What an incredible collaboration
the fact that every character kinda looks like their voice actor
They do!!
That is a complete projection lol
It wouldn't surprise me if they tried to match some of the facial features to better be able to use the footage of the va's recording their lines as reference
@@iJosiahyoure an adult bro
When people cared more about the quality than the cost, you really get a masterpiece. I'm still wounded from this show, it's amazingly captivating.
Right!!
Let's be honest for a sec.....this show really set the bar sooo high man!!!.....maybe it's not perfection....but it's closest thing there is to it.....the animation....the characters.....the emotions and connection you feel with them.....just WOW !!!!! Best animated show ever for me
it’s so hard to picture them as their characters but the life they put into this is beautiful 💗‼️
I don't know they kind of look like their characters
I love how Hailee’s wearing red like vi 😭
And Ella showing a peep of blue 💙
Season 2 was cinema! Loved it! Especially episodes 6-9
Riot, you have no idea how you've changed my life with so much beautiful art. Thank you for that. I will remember it forever.
i could watch a whole 5 hours (and more!!!) documentary series of this show and i wouldn’t get bored of it. so glad i had the chance to experience arcane
They actually did released documentaries of the first season on UA-cam
@opheliebell22 i know, i have watched it. i meant the s2 but i forgot to add. thanks fir bringing it up tho 💕
I absolutely LOVEEE how much the voice actors understand not only their characters but the characters of the show and how they interact with each other and what that does for the story that is being told. That's so important to really capture a cohesive delivery in the voicework of all the characters but also so that the characters come out as genuine as possible. i'm honestly most impressed with Jinx's voice and character because it's hard to write a character frequently in states of psychosis without it sounding cliche or unbelievable or potentially just offensive, but I think it was all done really well in Arcane and you can tell the creators had a very clear vision for what they were creating.
Thank you riot and fortiche and the artists, musicians, voice actors, animators every single person who has contributed to this masterpiece in any way. Thank you so much for this insanity. This show has truly irrevocably changed me forever. I will never ever forget it in this lifetime. Thank you for the wonderful stories and plot and female characters and layers and representation!!! Not a single show has affected me this much ever. It just gets you man. So thank you so much. This show will always have a place in my heart.
ALSO THANK YOU FOR VI ❤❤❤
Technically this happened thanks to us because we are who supported riot
Thank you for VI and the end IS SO REAL
This season was nearly perfect. It wasn't as good as I expected but as Jayce said that there is a beauty in imperfection. they made you who you are. This season in emotional and visual rollercoaster. And all I have to say is this was an experience I will never forget. Truly a masterpiece by big M. And now I will patently wait for what comes next for this world. Goodbye Arcane and thank you for this incredible journey
The love, the care, the attention to detail, the talent, the respect for the audience and the hard work show in every scene. What a masterpiece
The miracle of Arcane is its ability to have many main characters and interwoven plotlines. When Jayce shoots Viktor it causes your mind to rush through all of the characters and ask how it is going to impact everyone on an individual level. It puts us all in the mind of Viktor, looking for some type of resolution in the chaos of reality.
or how when Jayce touches the hexcore in the basement and it messes up Vi/Jinx and Cait/Sevika's weapons and affects their fights. Things happening at the same time in different places affecting each other, how everything connects
I'm never gonna stop talking about "Arcane". This show taught me what is acceptance. If someone you love going to change just accept the way they are. The moments we have with the our loved ones it's not infinite but love is.
Both seasons of this show where incredible. Granted they were a bit different from one another, but after giving some thought to it, I think that works in the show's favour. Here's my explanation:
Season 1 focused on more of the situation of poverty and hierarchy between these two cities and how its leaking into the lives of people, which can either turn them bad, make them ignorant, or just tough as nails and caring either only for themselves or anyone they cared about. We got to learn about the characters and some insights into their hopes and dreams. It was a great way to tell a narrative about two civilisations in trouble, with many moments in the show about ways of trying to find peace, only for all the characters to realise that they only way they could find peace in their lives was to make peace with themselves, which is how Season 2 starts. The narrative of the upcoming war between Piltover and Zaun was pushed to one side to give more time to the characters, and we really got to see some of them at their lowest, thus wanting nothing more for them than to get back up off the ground and rise up from rock bottom. By resolving their flaws, embracing their imperfections, and learning about themselves and their loved ones more, they not only made peace with themselves, but were able to come together in the end because of it, and bring peace to their homes.
Personally, I think that's a great way of bringing the story full circle. Start with the setting, and end with it's people. This show truly was something special :)
All the haters and nitpickers on Twitter should watch this. The show is absolutely incredible and I don’t see how anyone could not like it. The amount of work fortiche and the actors put into this show is beyond anything imagined. They put their hearts and souls into Arcane. The characters, relationships, storyline, graphics and music are at the top of all shows I’ve watched. Arcane will always be my favorite show to watch. I always catch more the more I watch it. Never gets boring.
I mean there are fair critisisms you can make. I for one feel that the ending got too big too quick and so lost some of its initmacy. Perhaps it could have used another act to build slower too it, and clean it up a little. That being said, its still a fantastic show!
@@__-fm5qv the point of the story is the urgency of the situation, thats why people think its rushed, people are dissatisfied yet look at the circumstances, i think the pacing was just fine. its a story of tragedy, not one with happy endings with everyone's favorite ships together and focusing on the intimacy, when in fact people need to see the bigger picture. it was never going to end well no matter what there is nothing to clean up. you dont need extra dialogue to get the point across
@@__-fm5qvI agree. I felt like for a show that very much relied on the audience getting to know the characters well, the final few episodes were much more story-driven. By no means was the plot bad, but I would have liked it to have been a bit more spaced out to witness the characters’ growth, a lot of which seemed to have happened off screen.
the show is 100% amazing and hope the studio can do more high quality productions of this type. But the 2nd season just had too many stories and conflicts to tell, and between the anomaly and hextech , arcane, black rose mages it got too complicated, while the emotional focus was still mainly on vi and jinx. Felt like too many duos and not enough connection without the upper / undercity rivarly or the big councle to bring things together.
@@5p1t definitely could’ve been split between two seasons, with season 2 perhaps ending at Isha’s death as well as Viktor’s “death”, and season 3 spending more time on Ekko and Mel, as well as spending more time on Vi and Jinx’s development during the aftermath of Vander’s death and lead-up to the war.
music in this season is so good, the jinx scene where "come play" is playing... EPIC
In this century this show is one of the TOP undoubtedly so far.
Thank you for all the creators working on it. Amazing.
The soundtrack to Season 2 was probably the best I’ve ever heard. I can’t even think of any other songs that would mirror the scenes/characters any more perfectly! Literally one of the best animated shows ever to exist. I can’t believe they doubted the potential Arcane would have! It’s so brilliant, words cant possibly describe how amazing it is and how talented every animator and voice actors were ❤ Thank you for your service, Arcane !
Perfect series. The animation, the music, the characters, the depth, the lines, the world, everything. I took days off and set my alarm at midnight so I could go on Netflix every act and watch every episode in a row as soon as they came out.
Netflix and the Arcane team... you guys should be SO immensely proud of your work here. Amazing writing, animations, actors. It's truly a piece of art. It's undoubtedly one of the greatest shows ever created.
Badly wanted to see and hear them in a sound booth since i watched arcane years ago. Thank you!
Also, i love that they didn't even bother to add a clip of Reed in a booth bec he already sounds Ekko while talking 😭
Search on youtube "Bridging the Rift", its a five part documentary on the production of Arcane, made by Riot in collaboration with Fortiche. Its as incredible as the show itself.
Arcane will always be one of my favorite shows, like Hailee said, “the dynamics and perception of self” like I won’t spoil it if people haven’t seen it but this show is something powerful and yet emotional in a sense. I will always resonate with Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn, and everybody in Season 2. I don’t think I have cried so much watching a show like Arcane. Arcane’s story will always live on in my heart ❤
The Victor's voice is captivating in a magical way! Amazing in every way!
What a great show Arcane is. Great Animation, Storrytelling, writing, voice acting, .... Simply brilliant.
5:55 just get me pregnant, Riot you would have to pay a child support

There are rare moments in animation I have enjoyed in my life from my childhood to now. There is something special about Arcane. The characters are well written and the writing is amazing. I haven’t felt this way about entertainment since I went to see Star Wars as a 6 year old kid in 1977. Well done to the creators, animation team and actors. It was truly beautiful. A masterpiece for all time. Thank you for this experience.
Man, I loved every second of this season, even if the story felt rushed at some points. Its a work of art, a masterpiece. Everyone has outdone himself on this series and I feel the emptiness you feel when you have finished to watch/play/read something really special. Kudos to everyone and an extra round of applause for everyone involved for the soundtrack. So many goosebump and emotional, tearjerking moments carried by the amazing music to it.
Thank you all guys, you gave us serious traumas and heartbreaks but also one of, if not THE greatest videogame adaptation ever. Thanks to everybody who worked in this series but i gotta give my personal flowers to Hailee and Ella. You both brought to life Vi and Jinx. Your job was EXTRAORDINARY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! ARCANE IS FOREVER! ❤
you guys truly made the best animated television show that i have ever seen. every. single. thing that i wanted and needed from this show was delivered to me with interest. there wasn't a single frame that i wasn't blown away with the 11/10 animation, sound design and believability. i forget who said it, but this is one of the most immersive shows that i have ever seen. i felt moved to look at life differently. i can't wait for future spinoff series and im sure that they will be just as good if not better🙏🏾
arcane has put a new standard on future game adaptions, I can't express just how much I admire and love this series
