oh sh!t, you guys DID watch Arcane. lets goooo. I'm looking to see if you watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit and found the Podcast tab with this. defo giving this playlist a look. anyway, ima go back to finish my 100th ''fun fact'' comment as i watch your Back to the future 2 episode. lol.

[@VeggieGamer]

Nice work linking Powder freezing up, possibly having something to do with PTSD from her past. This series does an excellent job portraying mental health in these characters. Really great reaction, guys! I am sure you will love every episode!!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thanks so much for the wonderful comment and support, it means the world to us! This show definitely handles trauma and grief incredibly well, and with such nuance! We're so glad you guys recommended it and that we got to discover this amazing show thanks to y'all!

[@ThatCheekyWalrus]

Whaat?!? That's funny. You actually watch other reaction content. I just watched through your arcane Playlist like a week or 2 ago. You're adorable. 😘

[@VeggieGamer]

@@ThatCheekyWalrus I do, Cheeky! I find it fascinating seeing other people's reactions to these, especially this episode as there are so many different takes on it! 😄

[@ThatCheekyWalrus]

@@VeggieGamer arcane is really the only thing I have ever watched reaction content on for the most part so please don't take offense I don't watch future videos ❤️❤️❤️. I used to write over a decade ago, stories, new character ideas, book ideas, reimaginings of characters etc on the LoL forums so Arcane had a special place in my heart, it exceeded my expectations. Although the singular thing I am sad about is Vi never says "Sometimes you gotta make a door!" after breaking down a wall. Haha.

[@ThatCheekyWalrus]

@@VeggieGamer Oops sorry I guess I never said it directly but I really loved your reaction ❤️ that's what I meant by you're adorable. I love your vibes.

Jinx in the games:"Who`s this crazy blue-haired, pink-eyed Harley Quinn-looking chick?" Jinx in the show: "My poor baby Powder, please let me protect you!"

[@kenjutsukata1o1]

I love how almost every reactor starts with commenting on how little children singing is always creepy in movies and shows, then immediately get sad when they realize it's an *actual* terrified little girl singing to block out the horrors around her and not just the background music. I had the same reaction my first time.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Honestly, it was haunting to watch... There've been a lot of times that an eerie sound of a little child singing is used for BS purposes, but in this case it hit like a gut-punch. Those poor kids...

[@kenjutsukata1o1]

@@OfficialMediaKnights Agreed. And knowing how much detail and thought the creators put into the show, I feel like it was done on purpose. Very effective. Also, want to say I'm loving your reactions, you strike a nice balance between talking and paying attention :)

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Exactly, it was so nice to see how much nuance they added, still showing the stakes but not making it melodramatic. They let the acting and storytelling do the work and elicit the emotions. Thank you so much for the compliment, honestly, it means so much to us to read these kinds of comments 😊😊😊

[@aspieanarchist5439]

Not just the horrors around her, her own mental illness as well.

[@batu5180]

You're the first reactor that I've watched who noticed the sound effects in arcane, which is awesome. There's nothing in arcane that was half bad, everything is good, but few actually paid attention to the sfx, bgm, and folley. Good job to yall

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you so much for the kind words, this made our day!! This show is truly something unique and we're in love! Can't wait to see what more audiovisual spectacles we'll get to witness!

[@bthsr7113]

A punch doesn't hit half as hard for the audience if they don't hear the damage.

[@diadorim273]

Arcane is nothing less than stellar on every aspect. Design in all aspects, Cinematography, Animation, Lighting and Colour Scripting, Sound Design, Music/Score, Script/Narrative design and Voice Acting and anything I've missed. All so far beyond 'good' it's simply astounding. This is what happens when you give ample time and ample budget to quality artists in all those professions. I sometimes still can't believe it exists, it's just that unique in the animation world (which is plagued by low budgets/underpayment and inhumanly tight deadlines that basically kill any kind of flourish pre-emptively) I don't think many people truly understand how excruciatingly rare it is something of this caliber was made at all. I wish you two an absolutely wonderful time with it! I wish I could watch it for the first time again but reactions are the next best thing! I'm reliving it through you and it's so nice to see how engaged you are with it already. Enjoy this magnificent ride!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

You made our day with this comment. We wish nothing more than for you to enjoy and relive this. As a duo with filmmaking background we couldn’t agree more with your statement. It breaks our hearts to see projects where the creators have poured so much love into world building and amazing script quality only for the production company to squeeze the deadlines, low ball the budget and ruin the creative experience all together. This show is outstanding. They went beyond the game’s audience and gifted us a unique experience that honestly I am in love with! I hope for more projects like these in every aspect of entertainment. I don’t care if it takes long to make if the quality is purely superior in every single aspect. Thank you for the amazing comment and the support. Sending all the love 😃

[@diadorim273]

@@OfficialMediaKnights Thank you so much for your lovely reply! Seems I missed it sorry! I see I have some catching up to do on your upoads and I'm honestly so excited for it \o/ It's going to be such a treat for me when I can make the time! I absolutely love it when creators in the same or similar fields give an extra insight from their perspectives as well as strong emotional engagement , and I simply can't wait for yours!! (so here's to me catching my deadlines hah)

Trivia: Vander's voice actor also voices Braum in League.

Whaaat, no way?! Thanks so much for sharing, I had no idea!

[@NatashaSalgado]

The intro and this episode in general is a great introduction to this world with amazing visuals. Also I love the song they used as an intro and Hallie's voice acting is perfection as Vi.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Yeees, the intro was absolutely fantastic in both setting the tone and world-building! The actors are also incredible!

Thank you soo much for the wonderful comment and welcome to our reactions!!! We're so glad you're enjoying them 😊 Honestly, this show has been such an emotional rollercoaster thus far - in the best sense possible. The way they make you care about these characters and what they're going through, is truly unique and so so special!

[@Newborn_God]

Oh! You two are in for some good stuff ^^ . Glad to see you that you are really getting in to it since the beginning. You two are reacting to the she show so genuinely its great, love that you comment on how great the music is. And no wonder… All and I mean ALL of the music was made just for this show alone. You can see and feel the love poured in to this masterpiece. I envy you guys cause knowing close to nothing is a blessing, be careful of the comments cause fans just cant help them selves, even thought they don think they are spoiling most of the time, it does happen. Enjoy the best show of al time ^^

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you so much for your kind comment, it means the world to us! This show is truly something special, spectacularly executed and crafted. Stay tuned for the rest, we'll be posting the episodes back to back all week!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you for watching this again with us! It means the world to us 😃

[@cubablue602]

Wow! Didn't realise you guys have never watched this. It's a masterpiece. Simply one of the best animated shows ever made. Best advice for anyone watching it for the first time: pay attention to every detail because there is so much going on that isn't immediately obvious. There's a lot of characters here but stick with it, you will not be disappointed.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Right?! We received a lot of comments recommending this and now we can't believe we didn't get into it sooner! We're so glad to have found this thanks to all you guys! Thanks for the advice haha, we'll be sure to keep our eyes sharp!

[@chipstarshine8150]

Yes, the show doesn’t have fluff in its storyline, everything you are shown is important to know in one way or another. But I wouldn’t be too upset with yourselves if you do happen to miss something. Like I’ve seen arcane like 20x by now (not kidding) and I’m still finding stuff I missed from before. There’s a huge amount of replay ability with this series but it’s sooooooo good! I’m still fangirling and in a mood to keep watching reactors to this series!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Whoooa, that's so amazing though! That's such a credit to the creators for adding so many layers to the story, it just makes it more fun to kind of easter egg hunt with each re-watch! Definitely joining you on fangirling, this show is fantastic!

[@j.f.fisher5318]

@@OfficialMediaKnights there's a lot of details you can't notice the first time which makes the rewatch value amazing. Like you caught on that the folks at the end are what vander meant by "worse than enforcers" but he rubs a brace on his arm when he says it, which would mean nothing in Episode 1 but later on the show why he got the brace on his arm so when you rewatch it then that means something. Everything is so tightly written and woven together it is just stunning.

[@PaleImperator]

I hadn't seen you guys prior to this, but it looks like you're on board and getting what's going on. All I will say is, welcome to Arcane. Sit down. Buckle up. Get ready. It's great!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Hey! We’re glad you found us. Honestly we are all the way invested now. This show is nothing short from brilliant! Can’t wait to share with you guys the rest 😄

[@Archangl]

Love your commentary and that you've decided to start this show! Bar none has been one of my favorite media experiences in a while. Your observations are keen to so many facets of this series so far and itll only serve to enhance your experience as we get further along! Like many have already said, there are many interlocking pieces to the story, but for me, the dialogue, facial expressions and music in particular really hit! I play League, but I'm almost jealous I didn't get to see this with fresh eyes as the narrative really lends itself to a new audience/those unfamiliar with the game. I'd even argue it might be better to come in blind! Regardless, it's a good time and I can't wait to see yalls reaction to the rest of the show. No rush and keep up the good work! Excited for you guys!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you for watching with us and taking the time to write something nice! We are absolutely loving the story so far. Honestly the characters are so well written, the score hits different and the emotional beats take a moment to be addressed. I love the amazing work they did with this show and can’t wait to share it with you guys 😃

[@aspieanarchist5439]

Keep in mind Silco`s an old man(Well, middle-aged technically) so unlike most Zaunites, he remembers when there was only Zaun whereas most Zaunites nowadays are desensitized to being second-class citizens to Piltover breathing in the toxins from their sewage lanes and instead of empty words about promise, progress, equality and innovation people rose literally from the bottom through grit, determination, hard work and doing whatever it took to survive without compromise or apology.

[@ninjatoriumnova2483]

You're gonna love this show! The first 2 episodes are a bit slower, mostly introducing the characters and the world, but once it gets going, it REALLY gets going.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

If these were the slower episodes I can’t wait what the next ones will bring! This hooked us from the start! Immediately wanted to keep watching which doesn’t happen with every show. Sometimes we do need some cooldown time specially with the ones that get us all emotional. With this one we were in it! We’ve watched Act 1 so far and man…this show is not playing around!

[@kaizen5023]

1. Don't be a d!ck, don't spoil them by even hinting at anything in upcoming episodes! 2. How to help your fave reactors avoid spoilers: If you see anyone hinting at anything in a comment, REPORT IT by flagging the comment as inappropriate. This is more likely to remove the comment than saying something like, "Hey man don't spoil them" or whatever.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

It truly is, what a rare and incredible gem! The show is so wonderfully crafted and such a joy to watch!

[@johnbowersox738]

A couple of spoiler-free notes to help you get the most of the season. 1) before you watch episode 7 I highly recommend that you watch the Imagine Dragons "Enemy" video. The episode will mean a little bit more. 2) After watching the season watch the Worlds 2021 show open. The tie in to the series is insane! Oh, and thank you for a good reaction!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you so much for the recommendation and such kind words, we truly appreciate it so much! Aaaand, we did watch the video for Enemy, so can't wait to see the connection there!!

It’s such a wild ride man! Top notch writing, music, action and cast 👌

[@tarinindell8217]

Id recommend pre-recording most if not all of your reactions to this show before posting, because the comments here are already spoiler-heavy. Having said that, after you finish the show, its a good idea to rewatch it so you can catch more of the subtle foreshadowing and callbacks that are easy to miss on your first watch. There is also a miniseries called "Bridging the Rift" about the making of this series, so you can get an idea of how fraught the production truly was, and how unsure and uneasy they were while making this masterpiece. It goes into various aspects, origins of the series, the various art and animation aspects, the backing sounds, and the amazing music. Also, you arent the only film makers who have reacted to this, and some say that it will likely be used in schools as an example of animation and filming techniques. Its truly breathtaking how they managed to bring this show together so flawlessly.

[@reynaldolorenzo8409]

Reactions from League players are surprisingly few and far between (or maybe I’m just unlucky with my searching?), so I also can’t wait to see your reactions when other characters get introduced! I’m not a League player myself, so I’ve always been curious as to how this show was received by pre-existing game fans. Edit: “I’ve seen those masks before, too.

Pro tip; you don’t need to know anything about LOL to enjoy this show (or endure it, depending on your perspective), but from what I know, it does lead in to some LOL lore from the game. The show stands alone though, probably one of the most intense animated dramas I’ve ever seen.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thanks for the pro-tip! This show, honestly, has taken us by surprise with how damn good it is! In a way it's good that there are some strong correlations to the original lore, but still retaining some differences - that way the show still has its own identity whilst still respecting the core of the game!

[@SCharlesDennicon]

Cool reaction, let's see if the rest is as inspired. :D Because editing those things isn't that easy, and there are people who are better at it than others. My only issue is 13:45 talking about Jinx in the video game during the ENTIRE, immersive presentation of the underworld... pretty weird! Besides that, it was okay. Oh, and...: cupcakes...

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thanks for the feedback! We try our best to edit our content to keep it as entertaining as possible while still adhering to Copyrighting. Glad you enjoyed the reaction overall!

[@TheFashioncore]

Great reaction but please, keep the music scenes in your reactions, the music is absolutely phenomenal and is integrated to fit as a kind of storytelling tool in and of itself, all songs are completely owned by Riot who created this series with Fortiche animated studios so it should be fine to use in your videos. Do not just brush by the music passages cause they are absolutely on a next level when it comes to being an integral part of a show.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Good to know! We learned today it was actually fine to use the music thanks to you guys. So we’ll definitely be keeping it since it’s one of our favorite aspects of the show as well! Thank you for watching with us 😃

[@stcy000]

After you finish watching arcane, "Arcane: bridging the rift" which is a five episode behind the scenes series is also a good watch if you liked arcane.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thanks so much for the recommendation, we will definitely try to get to that as soon as we are able!

[@heinzerhardt7047]

This seems like a good fit. Will follow for this one for sure.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thanks so much for the follow and support, we appreciate you!

[@monil2447]

YES ! You did it 😃🍾🎉! I'm so glad you picked this show. Hmm... I guess I'll make other recommendations then... But for now, I'll just relive Arcane and see you more and more impressed. I wish this show will bring you thousands of new subscribers and may your channel grow like crazy this year. Love from a non League of Legend player crazy about Arcane. ❤❤❤

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you for the recommendation! This show is incredible! Amazing voice acting, great writing and the score! We’re in love with the score 😃 sending love right back! We appreciate your support and the amazing taste ❤️😄

[@QWERRR7771]

Cool response, keep up the good work! But please turn off the subtitles in Arcane, they give mini spoilers and spoil the atmosphere..

[@SvetlinDimitrov]

You are in for a ride :)

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

This show is sooooo good!!! Can't wait to share the rest of our reactions with y'all!

[@absolut738]

Hello. So just a heads up: you don't need to mute the music since all of it is copyright FREE. Riot made ALL the songs and the score, and they allow people to use them fully in videos, like these f.e. The only song you have to be careful about is the intro song of imagine dragons "enemy", since ofc its not copyright free. Alright, gl

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you for this information! It really makes it less of a headache when editing the reactions! We can now fully share our enjoyment of the incredible music in this show 😄

[@christiantheknight7218]

Honestly, it would be bad as hell if they made marvel or DC comic adaptations with this animation style. It would look just like a comic book.

[@christopherkaiser9576]

Watch the enemy music video right before episode 7.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Haha we got you!

[@christopherkaiser9576]

@@OfficialMediaKnights has a ton of story elements that aren't shown in the show. Will help the episode hit harder.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Yess!! We ended up loving the music video, and like you said, it does add some really interesting context and layers, especially to both Vi and Powder/Jinx! All these things just come together so wonderfully to bring us such a nuanced and well-crafted show!!

[@christopherkaiser9576]

@@OfficialMediaKnights ohh you already watched it. Tbh I feel like it should have just gone into the show opening for episode 7 and completely replaced that bit.

[@TheOtterBear61]

This is an amazing show. From my understanding it gets its unique look from the fact that the characters and their surrounding environment are 3D modeled while the textures the models have were hand painted. That's why camera angles, movements, and such look so realistic while still have an overall animated look. It is truly a piece of art!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

It really is! It's so funny you say that, because we kept having the impulse of saying 'this was shot so well' - it felt so life-like with its visuals, sound design, acting etc! What a gem!

[@DarkKnightBatman420]

Yo I saw this about a year ago. Big fan. Love it. It does a lot of the right stuff. Will be around for this!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Absolutely amazing! We are binging most of the episodes and so far we are loving this. The cast, how the script is written, the action sequences and the music! This show is beyond anything I expected👌😄

Bravo.

Castlevania ran so Arcane could fly.

And flew it did….because my goodness this show is a masterpiece in written, score and voice acting!!

Put some respect on Fortiche`s name!

Damn right

If you think this is good, you will be flabbergasted by the end of this series.

French animation!

[@rrasbe]

Grayson voice is by Shohreh Aghdashloo if you didn't find out yet, didnt finish the video :D amazing voice

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Yes!! Thank you! No wonder we recognized her. She’s been in a few shows we watched! As well as Mass effect and Destiny 😄😃

[@rrasbe]

@@OfficialMediaKnights yep, I recognized her from The Expanse :p

[@LoLGamer-se1sz]

I'm a new person on your channal, hi btw. So I was wondering, since Ari has played LoL, what's the chance that he has seen any of the LoL cinematics? If not, then I would recommend watching them AFTER Arcane, if you guys are still interested in the LoL universe at that point, as it is massive.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Hi! And welcome to our channel 😃 I have not watched the cinematics yet! I’m a fairly new player (only started playing last year!) So far I’m absolutely loving the world of LoL. The one thing I have done outside of playing is go on the league site and read the character description. But I’d love to see more visuals from this world! So you bet we will react to those as well 😃

[@monil2447]

@@OfficialMediaKnights And you could also watch (and maybe react to) the 5 episodes of "Arcane: Bridging the Rift", which are behind the scenes/story of the series. It took 6 years to make the show, one day to make a second of it, and the result might be the best animated TV show ever. As a LoL player and filmmakers, you will certainly find a lot of very interesting things in the Arcane story.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you so much for commenting and the recommendation! We LOVE behind the scenes stuff, so we'll definitely look into that!

[@Sawyer1982OAC]

Nice! Now I finally have a reason to finish the series 🙌🏼 (Also I’m commenting on every reaction channel I follow: let’s just react to whatever’s done on Netflix… we’ve been burned too many times already)

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Haha aw yay! How far did you get with the show?? So far we're loving it!! Yeah, honestly, Netflix has made some questionable choices lately...

[@Sawyer1982OAC]

@@OfficialMediaKnights I think up to episode 5, maybe, during an overnight flight. The visuals, sounds and overall quality of the story were so good I decided to rewatch and finish it on a proper TV but never go to it

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Yes yes and yes! Rewatch in on a proper tv. There’s so much attention to detail that this show truly deserves to be experienced on a nice screen 😃

[@AnxietyOP]

Just episode 1 am I right? Y'all got 8 more 😆😆 Oh, and yeah, 140+ characters now

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Yeah it’s a freaking massive catalog of characters. Honestly they could keep bringing seasons of Arcane. As long as Netflix stops pulling the plug on good shows 😂

[@kyutal920]

@The Media Knights Thankfully, Netflix has no control over the production of the show, only distribution. Riot would go to another service if Netflix didn't want to host it or wanted to get their dirty hands into the production process.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Honestly, that's good news lol, what they've created is honestly masterful, and does not need further intervention! They just gotta keep doing what they're doing!

[@jezzluck]

What do you think the stuff fell in, a 1 meter deep pond? You are not the first one to react that way, but i just don't get how people come to that reaction.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Uhm, this is not exactly a Christopher Nolan production- there are a lot of surreal/supernatural elements to this, so having a character jump into the water and dive down without worry for oxygenation or pressure is not that much of a leap, considering all the other stuff that's happened in the show.

[@autismorepublica8953]

the womans voice of the female enforcer 20:47 i believe also does anna voice from overwatch

[@adriankuban2904]

Hello to everyone who is interested in the League of Legends story. So you have two options, firstly, watch channels and their videos such as: Necrit, T B Skyen, TENEBRIX, NickyBoi, and we have from our KZbinrs like Necrit and Hráčská Divize, Příběhy Runeterry, Baron Rico. Or read a story with comics in one place, plus there are three books for that. Garen: First Shield, League of Legends: Realms of Runeterra (Official Companion), Ruination: A League of Legends Novel. Well, both are best. I myself began to love the story of league of legends for these reasons. Erm. Yes, league of legends is about gameplay and a poisonous community, but that's because they really don't know how to play a dump game. And Lore in League of Legends is way better than Warcraft. You can also write it as Cinematic. League of Legends has 12 comics and three books. universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/ And they have been working on their series for 7 years,... = Arcane. From 2014 to the actual date. Warcraft movie pure real garbage. Arcane Season 1, next one coming soon. And also League of legends Skin lines are alternate and parallel uvinverse. With stories this good, sometimes it's a much better champion story than in LOL. ;) May the force be with you. And may you lead the force. 🖐️

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Nice dude! Thanks for the recommendations I’ll check out the comics for sure. 👌😃
