THIS SHOW LOOKS...✨ ARCANE Season 1 Ep 1 REACTION & REVIEW!

[@BOLDcast]

FINALLY AT LONG LAST WE HAVE ARRIVED LETS GOOOO!!! Remember to LIKE the video to show your support for this great show! We got some banger analysis and discussions coming your way with this show, so we hope you're ready for it!

[@donatszabo8300]

I hope you considering code geass movies. Especaly the latest one. 😁 Its really goood

[@Tfk-mf6bs]

Wow I didn't expect this reaction, ty so much

[@We_see_all]

Im kinda surprised you guys haven't watched this show sooner considering how popular it is and I've always presumed you two watched it offscreen, xd. I'm glad that we get to see your reactions!

[@MrrGervais]

Same

[@nlsndr]

me too

[@lichtx5628]

same fr

[@emanymton713]

It came out at a time they had a lot of other videos planned and released.

[@seananime_copying]

I thought that they already watched it😂😂 (Maybe I confuse them with Auto save or someone else

[@toxicmercyonetrick8736]

I never comment but this show is really one of a kind! The 2 hour discussions are gonna go crazy ❤

[@blackshard641]

I can't wait for them to come back and listen to their predictions after they finish the series. ;-)

[@bakuhakudraws5603]

Something they don't explicitly state, but imply several times throughout this series, is that the water in Zaun is extremely toxic. They might could swim down and get the stuff from the canal, but whoever did so would come back up with like 7 different kinds of cancer and 15 parasitic infections. Once the bag is dropped, it's over.

[@pedroluca9778]

Really excited for this one hope you guys like it

[@BOLDcast]

We love it so far! We're up to ep 3 right now (also on patreon) and its obviously very well made!

[@thelankywanderer]

"...the compromise of being alive." Wow, that's a great quote.

[@VashTown]

Ah, finally, a new long form Arcane reaction series appears and with pretty good discussion. Looking forward to the whole thing.

[@morganwebber]

Just stumbled across this reaction, seen multiple people react to Arcane. Interesting listening to their theory where they predict Jinx would join Piltover and Vi would join Silco, which is the opposite of what actually happens.

[@BerbaUTD]

I love how you called out Yuri Lowenthal's voice immediately xD

[@Naugur]

The geometry of the city is not explained the show, and it causes a lot of confusion. There's a canal going through the city, east to west. The rich side, Piltover, is the on the north side of the river/canal, while the south side is the poor side. When the canal was built an accident created a big ravine. This ravine is on the south side of the canal and is where the Undercity is located. I hope they give good bird's eye of the layout in S2. I was also confused when I first watched.

[@invi022]

It really is the moment we've been waiting for Carson, you are right

[@filipivis9427]

LoL Fans, LoL Casuals and Arcane fans rejoice once more for the absolute brilliance that is just a small fraction of the juicy LoL lore, hope you guys have fun with this one, It's been a while but I'm always down for a rewatch with the BOLDcast. 🎉

[@markmagie48]

Lindsay is rockin' her Best hairstyle period! Looking like a 1970s Rockstar!! #myonlytakeawayhere #impressive #haironfleek

[@boggless2771]

From my understanding, the literal underground is from a ravine where there was mining. The "undercity" is the south part of the city, south of the brige/river, which also has the underground as a part of the undercity. Topside = rich Undercity = poor Underground = terrible, polluted air in a ravine. Enforcers wore masks while outdoors. Organized Crime region.

[@aspieanarchist5439]

Also, in The Game Piltover was built directly above Zaun(Named for its two founding tribes, Oshra`Va Zaun(Southern Zaun) and Kha`zhun(Northeastern Zaun)who worshipped the wind spirit Janna and their mages were so feared by Piltover and Demacia they banned magic to keep the Zaunites down which led to a lot of poverty, pollution and crime in Zaun, particularly when Pilties sent their undesirables down there, mad scientists, gangsters and corrupt pharmacists etc. who became the first Chem-Barons, the Chem--Barons are generally liked by average Zaunites about as much as Topsiders and Yordles which is to say not much at all.)

[@tenkiforecast]

You’re recognizing VI’s actress Hailee Steinfeld because she played Hawkeye’s daughter in the MCU…and also plays Gwen Stacy in the Spiderverse movies. It says a lot she got the/a lead role in one of the greatest TV shows of all time, and one of the greatest animated films of all time. Either way…Arcane is a lot. It’s a beast of a show and looking forward to your thoughts

[@aspieanarchist5439]

Kate Bishop is the second Hawkeye, Clint`s daughter is a different character entirely!

[@Drake844221]

Welcome to the ride that is Arcane. You're going to love it. One of the things that always gets me is that people think of Powder as being an innocent kid... but... here in episode 1, she is 100% ready to nail-bomb a kid in the face. It's the environment that they're in that has fostered that... but STILL. Also, it is a 3D show, yes, but all of the textures on the models are hand-painted, and the effects like flashes or smoke are all 2D drawn in over the 3D footage. It's pretty amazing how they did all of this.

[@DXDragon38]

Wait, you guys haven't watched this yet? I could have sworn otherwise lol Well, you are in for a treat! I believe Season 2 is announced for November!

[@silver9wolf6]

Yes! I'm so jealous that they don't have to wait as long for season 2 😂

[@Ryuu44]

This is a clear example of the Mandela Effect. Clearly, we've been transported here from a reality in which everything is just as it should, and where BOLDcast reacted to Arcane a long time ago. Hello, multiverse traveling compadre. :D

[@KeitieKalopsia]

Yeah, I also feel like I’ve watched their reaction before.

[@LenaKolchuk]

Vi is voiced by Hailee Steinfeld, you might know her. She's a singer/actor🙃

[@PenguinsAreColdish]

arcane is my favorite show of all time, right up there with adventure time and attack on titan. def watching this reaction, never gets old rewatching this show

[@Phlookem]

Arcane season 2 hype . Glad you are trying this show out. Its one of my favorite shows in the past few years.

[@LogicUnpublishable]

loving the extended review. So many react channels just have a couple minutes of conclusion... you both really get into it, the themes, the architecture, the symbolism, the characters, the music... I really appreciate it. It shows that you're paying close attention, and have a high level of comprehension.

[@NeoNaoNeo]

I have to say this, my immediate reaction when I saw this pop up on my feed was 'Wait....BOLDcast HAVENT WATCHED ARCANE?!' Like if you asked me with a gun to my head if I'd seen your reaction to this show in the past my brains would be on the walls

[@KeitieKalopsia]

“My brains would be on the walls” That’s a fun way of putting it

[@aspieanarchist5439]

The show retconned Zaun`s location to across the bridge from the River Pilt after which Piltover or "Topside" is named.

[@newkidman101]

Ya’ll have some of the most interesting theories and analysis of this show I’ve seen. Looking forward to the rest, ya’ll are great at this.

[@johnbowersox738]

A couple of suggestions to help your Arcane experience. 1) Before watching episode 7 watch the Imagine Dragons "Enemy" video (it will add context and make the episode hit that much harder. 2) after finishing the season, watch the "Worlds 2023 show open". Consider it a live action version of Arcane.

[@chriscolombie4135]

This series is indeed peak , I genuinely never expected that I would go back to play league in any circumstances but this series made me do so , which those who played that game know that going back to play it is just madness that’s how good the series is

[@aspieanarchist5439]

This is Mia Sinclair Jenness(Powder)`s second voice role and Ella Purnell(Jinx)`s first.

[@athaer7504]

The geography isn't super obvious from the show, so a brief summary: the upper class area is called Piltover, it's entirely above ground. Across the river, the slums and undercity are called Zaun. Most of Zaun is underground, but there's a small section at the surface, where Vi and Powder are chatting at the end of the episode. As for how the rich profit off of the underground, Zaun has a lot of mining operations.

[@KeitieKalopsia]

I’m listening o the post-watch chat and this is batshit insane. The irony is _killing me._ Based on your predictions, _I’m_ going to predict that the next three episodes are going to be very entertaining.

[@jackjack3472]

Arguably the GOAT of animated series. Looking forward to your thoughts!

[@wooshbait36]

Actually there are better cartoons like Sponge Bob

[@charliebaker1427]

bro dont gotta glaze that hard greatest of all time animated series for you is arcane?

[@aspieanarchist5439]

Funnily enough, both Mia`s first and second voice roles were in French/American animated series.Incidentally, I`m also Basque, Ashkenazi, Yemenite, Mizrahi and Sephardic Jewish, Romani and Alsatian so I`m both French and American as well.

[@lumanianilin1198]

Hi guys, welcome to THE best animated show of 2021. Enjoy the ride :)

[@silver9wolf6]

Ooh, new Arcane watchers!! Can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of this amazing show! 😃

[@asianck]

Boldcast reacting to Arcane? Let’s goooo! I love how u guys analyze shows and the characters in this one have some great deep personalities. Can’t wait to see more.

[@MT-yd4ht]

Love your predictions! And can’t wait for you guys to watch more!

[@raec5426]

*FINALLY* put on Arcane! 👌 Good time to do so with S2 coming this year.

[@matman730]

So it's not super clear from this first episode, but the poor side of the city extends all the way from the surface to deep underground. At the end, Powder and Vi are on the roofs of the uppermost level of the poor side.

[@math9172]

Oh my god on this day I just realized : Boldcast had never watched Arcane !!!?!! I'm very glad to have discovered that issue with my life the very day it gets solved. You're going to adore this show I already know it. The first episode is probably the "worst", in the sense that it's the least good and it has the least plot, but it's aaaaall up from there. Made by Fortiche Studios : french animators in all their glory ^^

[@SomeDudeOG]

Watched 3 episodes of this a while back and I liked it, gonna watch the rest with you guys (shout out to my full time patreon bros)

[@BOLDcast]

W

[@klairvoyance]

Same lmao I forgot to continue it after ep3 so them reacting to it now is perfect^^

[@Bunny2319b]

Can’t wait for both your thoughts on the last episode 😭💕 I really hope y’all enjoy this as much as me and my friends have, when it first came out lol

[@Draka10.]

I could've sworn you already watch this, it's perfect for this channel.

[@Narutonarutonaruto85]

I didn't know much about League of Legends when I started watching this. I had played the games years ago but ran into an issue and couldn't get it to load. I hadn't been playing very long so I just gave up. I had a vague understanding of who some of the champions where, not all of whom are in this. I was still able to enjoy the series with little knowledge of the source material.

[@Nathplays_Z3]

This reaction was amazing and so cool and I am so glad you guys are reacting to this series.. you guys make some awesome and very interesting observations and I like how analytical you guys are and how much you take the opportunity to theorise and analyse in most of your reactions, and that's just so cool because not that many reaction KZbinrse do that.. I also can't wait to see you guys react to the next episodes of this series.. Keep up the good work :D

[@rromano158]

The best thing about watching this show is that you don't have to have any prior knowledge of the video game in order to enjoy this series. The animation, the story, and the voice acting are superior.

[@SinSiricheDu]

Welcome to the Arcane rabbit hole. Come to the dark side of the underground we have cupcakes.

[@johnbowersox738]

Also, to give context, the season is split into 3 parts of 3 episodes each. If you are going to watch them in sections, that's the best way.

[@kiryukaimemorial]

Hearing you talk, it makes me think this show is right up your alley, got those cogs turning in that big brain of yours! Hopefully no one spoils future events, since just about everyone has seen it now! Have fun with the show, I'll be looking forward to hearing your theories as they come to you!

[@charliebaker1427]

hopefully they actually finish it lol

[@Ricardo-0]

Nice! I always imagined you guys watched it offscreen hahaha. Really happy to see you reacting to it!

[@yoinkyyoink]

They also already dropped the trailer 2 weeks ago for the second season.

[@willo1171]

This show is masterfully crafted

[@sweet-nessu]

Every time I watch this show I come to love it more

[@ThaNinjazTube]

Season 2 soon. Y'all chose a good time to watch it. Only a few months left !!

[@Besomar_Surahat]

Im really excited to watch my favourites reactors covering one of my favourite shows

[@nether_prince3021]

Is that glasses guy in the negotiating scene ...Twitch ..? After wild rift short animatic I kinda see him as twitch. Idk much about twitch story so maybe I'm way off.

[@areharu1428]

Such a good surprise seeing you guys react to this show, always a pleasure to watch your reactions and discussions !

[@kokichiyo]

Glad i havent watched Arcane yet so i can watch it as you guys react, i also put it off for like two years lol (also love the SEELE shirt)

[@jacjacobisrael]

If you haven't already watched episode 7 yet it is encouraged to watch the full 'Enemy MV'

[@CSM_Kobeni]

Didn't expect this reaction to pop up today. Hope you two enjoy it and will watch season 2 at the end of the year.

[@bolt2134]

I could have sworn that guys said that already saw this show on your own time,

[@willjones5755]

What a great surprise, hope u guys enjoy the show ❤

[@chadbailey7038]

Excited for this journey!

[@kareemtaha9963]

iam surprised you guys didn't watch it ! , but wow iam excited now

[@seancurtis1199]

about damn time, amazing show, one of the best of the last decade

[@williamklett6660]

IF that is the river, seems likely, it explains why their bag of loot was lost... lol

[@Folkmoot]

I got to like episode 8 and didn't finish it, because I really wanted to watch Monster. Its pretty good, like the animation.

[@DarksideGmss0513]

How I look at this show is it's split up into 3 acts. Act 1 is 1-3, Act 2 is 4-6, and Act 3 is 7-9.

[@hichamabou-nour7226]

The greatest show ive ever seen.

[@turinnturambar]

Piltover(upside) and Zaun(downside) used to be a whole city above ground. It was a strait city. Later, the administrators who wanted to turn this city into a trade center wanted to turn this strait into a canal. However, during this process, things did not go as planned and the south side of the city collapsed underground as a result of an explosion. The collapsed part was called Zaun, and became the home of those who wanted to do business without the laws of the upside (Piltover).

[@zavs350]

my favorite reactors and arcane. Finally!

[@lordycagas]

Give us the 2nd Ep Already... we need it Asap 😭

[@gifem507]

24:20 ugh this hurts because there is some truth to it

[@Alastar_6.6.6]

Наконец данный шедевр настиг этот канал Благодарю за видос

[@BOLDcast]

Hope you enjoy!

[@gizel4376]

the bag is lost because the water is toxic and there's sea monster in it

[@blackshard641]

OHHHH BOY. You guys are in for a ride.

[@rgstudio3911]

Carson: I don't know anything about League of Legends. Lindsey: Me neither. Good for you lol

[@kavishka6593]

this is truly a masterpiece of fiction

[@maxmustsleep]

holy crap i fully expected you to have watched this show already lol, super excited to experience again with you!

[@Fionalah]

Great reaction and discussion!

[@otakuza5012]

U guys in for a treat. Enjoy!!! 😁

[@Elementisphere]

you are in for a treat. this is the best show I have ever seen

[@Regless0000]

Damn good show. Watched it with my buddy. You're in for a treat.

[@lainstructure]

Enjoy the ride !

[@adrianbyg5553]

00:24 some mysteries are better left unsolved

[@santoselizalde4403]

I see so many reaction chanels, that i thinked that you guys haved react to this already.

[@Okini_Hasa]

"Either help or run"... C'mon, Powder is just a child. Try to put yourself in her shoes. And Vi too is not a grown up either. It's easy to judge others (even when they're just cartoon characters) when you have never been in their place.

[@swapnarupbarua4668]

Finally you guys are so late to it but still looking forward to the reactions❤

[@gabrielsotillo6249]

It's never late to watch this awesome show

[@Folkmoot]

I think this show is good, but I also think its over hyped in terms of writing. Its a serviceable story, to me it doesn't feel that unique (I still have 1 or 2 episodes, so hopefully that changes). Visually its stunning, I just found its story to be fairly run of the mill and predictable, I would say its still worth watching just based on visuals and some character beats. Based on what I've seen (roughly 80 percent of the show) I'd give it a 7.4/10. Also, the last episode I watched was the best, so it is getting better every episode. Edit: I would say writing wise its okay 50 percent of the time, and about 30 percent of the time its good, and about 15 percent of the time its phenomenal, and the last 5 percent is a little too boring and predictable to be okay, but I wouldn't say its so unbearable that its bad. There are two scenes that come to mind when I think of this show that are amazing, and the rest is just ok for me.

[@thema8871]

YESSSSSS U DONT KNOW HOW BADLY IVE WANTED THIS TY
