Arcane used the fact that it was based off of the game as a pro instead of a con. Most adaptations are purely fan service and are very poorly done, but Arcane uses the story of League as a basis for the show instead of just relying on it.

This one actually has some thought behind it, I reckon the story has been on the drawing board for years and years.

@@superghost6 Arcane was in the making for 6-8+ years. They started making the storyline as they created the characters of Jinx, Ekko and VI, all the way back into 2014 for the game. Luckily Season 1 and 2 have been made at the same time (They are currently working on season 3 now) I think they will hold onto season 2, before releasing it for a year or two after s1.. until season 3 (4 Maybe?) have been made. Arcane will be a multiple season series. But I assure that Season 2 will NOT disappoint as it was made with the same staff and time frame as the first.

When I watched Arcane for the first time, I thought it was a good show. When I watched it for the second time, I thought it was the best thing I've ever seen. I know there are many movies and shows that seemingly hold even greater value when rewatched, but to this extent??? Nothing ever came close to Arcane in this department. The amount of new details and subtleties I was able to see on the second watch was out of this world. And even then, there was still a lot left undetected. I have seen the show 5 times by now. Only on my fourth watch I realized that the thugs that fought along Deckard in episode 1 are the same thugs who appear a bunch of times in act 2 and 3, or that you can actually *see* Jinx in the last scene of episode 8 when she kidnaps Caitlyn (it's hard to notice Jinx is there because she's out of focus, I would always just keep looking at Caitlyn), or how Caitlyn's eyes actually glow when she saves Vi in episode 5, or how Ekko's theme plays just before he fights Jinx (that's on me, I have never heard his theme before). Also, Ekko's theme at the end of the video there, very nice.

[@hawkins347]

Mel's character works with this a lot. Especially her romance with Jayce. On rewatch you notice that there's way more build up towards it than you might notice initially, and also that she's not as manipulative as many initially infer, she's just really good at politics. For example, she puts Jayce on council after he complains to her about not being able to move forward with his and Viktor's projects for helping the undercity, something that's been going on for years from Jayce's rant to Viktor about how "we've done what they wanted us to do, so it's time they let us use hextech the way we want" so she puts him in a position where he doesn't have to ask for approval anymore once the opportunity arises.

Arcane was literally one of my favourite things ever in a matter of days, and I’m not even a League fan, I had no preexisting predisposition to liking it just because it was a League property. I didn’t even know about it until the reviews came in and people started talking about it, so if my first exposure to it hadn’t been me hearing everyone rave about how incredible it was, I probably would have been cautious thinking it would just be some edgy League stuff. It’s just that good. It’s really just as simple as “Everything about Arcane is amazing”

As someone who likes both, Arcane's writing is in a completely different league from AoT. AoT's plotline and themes are genius, yes, but the writing of the actual dialogue can leave a bit to be desired at times. Arcane has a lot more subtlety in its writing, and the animation is well beyond anything AoT could pull off.

[@Olterior]

Never played LOL other than back in 2009 to try it out for a game or two. After Arcane, I watched all their cinematics. I still am not interested in any of the Ruinterra games but by God do I want to learn more about this world. The show is handsdown the best serious animated show I've seen. As good as Invincible was, it still has some weaker moments/episodes in season 1. Arcane I watched start to finish with every episode hyping me up over and over again.

[@jonathonpolk3592]

Agreed. I went in completely blind with zero knowledge of LoL, and I was glad because I was just able to enjoy the amazing story without getting distracted by scouring for Easter eggs. One question that didn't make sense though. Zaun aka the Undercity was portrayed as being a lower foundation level upon which Piltover was built. However, it was ALSO portrayed as a sister city built across a river and separated by a large bridge. Would anyone kindly make sense of this discrepancy for me? Thanks

[@spookybananas7119]

I'm pretty sure it's because Zaun is a city that is built vertically. The very top of Zaun would be on the same level with Piltover, so there would be a bridge that connects the two cities. I think this is why, but not completely sure.

[@BeGo127]

Watch Schnee's video about it. It is just one minute, but he even uses maps to show the layout of the cities. I promise, it makes sense. He explained really well. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6fOfGCDhryWj6M&ab_channel=schnee

[@rumq9305]

Zaun pretty much doesn't exist, when it does they will be sister cities, a large event in the next 2 seasons will make it clear.

[@SeventhSolar]

@@rumq9305 I'm pretty sure Zaun used to exist as an actual sister city, but it sunk.

[@williamou3005]

Zaun and Piltover were, according to lore, originally 1 city. I believe that Zaun sunk below ground level when they tried to dig a river between the city for trading (because airships didn't really exist at the time), and thus became known as Zaun. It's not technically a city of it's own yet, and in Arcane it's the underworld of Piltover, but by the time League of Legends rolls around Zaun is it's own city

[@justhaku9240]

Dude this is so well made and exactly what I wanted thank you. I love how you actually noticed a lot of the show don't tell parallels, one of my favorites is Silco at Vanders statue. It may sound crazy to some but this was easily my favorite show of the year if not the decade from the story to the animation, fight scenes, voice acting and the incredible amount of detail, even the music I personally loved even though a lot of people said it felt forced and awkward. My only criticism is that sky should have been a more developed character but I think they just didn't have enough time with all the characters it already covers and how well they're fleshed out. You can tell how much love they put into this, and it shows. I can't wait for S2, I'm hoping we get one more season in piltover & zauun before going to another region Once again, thank you for coming to my tedtalk I just couldn't help myself

[@Yatoru1]

Honestly considering we're only two years into the decade, I believe it. It was easily one of my favorites from last year and I'm hella excited for s2 when it comes around.

[@Ic-gv2eo]

Based on the S2 trailer having voicelines from cait vi and jinx (plus a hint at them adding another character from league that's also from piltover/zaun), we're staying with these characters for at least another season. Honestly I think if they make a show about another region or following a different set of characters they'll call it something else.

[@kitolz]

I think Sky was intentionally left out of focus until that moment so that the audience would share Viktor's sense of loss that we never got to know this wonderful person before she got snuffed out. It was only after she was gone that Viktor noticed her and by then it was too late. Another one is the princess that was in Mel's flashback.

[@seankeeley4345]

Silco at Vander's statue was the best indirect scene of the show imo. The way that they didn't feel the need to tell the audience that his decision with Jinx was the same as Vander with Vi, and how he now understood the reason that Vander had chosen a more peaceful route, and even why Vander had betrayed him. They do very little to come out and directly explore that past conflict, but all the pieces are there, and they let the audience do their own work to put it together, brilliant.

[@justhaku9240]

@@Yatoru1 Totally understandable

Became a fan of League's music, lore, and cinematics through learning about Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn, Ekko, other Piltover/Zaun champs, and K/DA so I'm really glad about how Arcane gives several characters depth such as how Vi has a caring heart and streetsmarts, Jinx being a genius while having much more grim side with lifelong guilt, the amount of trauma they've been through, Caitlyn and others being more open-minded, the bond Vi and Cait share, and how there are other champions that want the best for Piltover and Zaun based on their potential instead of continuing the divide between both cities.

One thing that no-one ever seems to catch about Powder's story.. even her home life was stressful. In the kids' playroom, Milo's face is drawn on the punching target... obviously by Powder. Why? Well, consider every single interaction involving Milo and Powder... he is constantly shitting on her, almost to the level of outright bullying. But, why? Think of Milo's interactions with the "cool kids" of the group.. Vi dumps on Milo a lot too... he feels inadequate in the light of Vi and Claggor. In the fight, Milo gets his butt handed to him.. Vi and Claggor win the fight themselves, basically. So, there is a clear hierarchy in the group of kids. Vi, Claggor, Milo, Powder. Vi dumps on Milo, Milo passes it on to Powder.. shit rolls downhill, right onto the head of the littlest one... EXACTLY like it works in a real-life family, right?

Before Arcane, Invincible was my top animated show of the year. I loved the overall story and the originality of its take on the superhero genre. However, I was still excited to see what Riot would do with this show. They blew my expectations away. Orchestrating an array of unique characters, each with different motives and values, into an extremely cohesive story is something that is incredibly hard to do. Not only that but the focus on its core characters and their development was phenomenal. While I still debated with myself on what was the better show (Invincible vs Arcane), ultimately Arcane just has more to offer. Unique animation on par with Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse, compelling story, original soundtrack, and an insane amount of understanding and detail to the source material all contribute to this show. I'm not only looking forward to the next season, but also any additional projects they do (I really hope they make shows covering the Freljord and Noxus).

What got me interested was the comment on the technology Gap between the upper class and the rest of society. Then of course there's the relationship between Jinx and VI. As well as every other character in the show. How it didn't feel like some fan service show. Or relied on the fact that you needed to play the game to understand what was going on. Because you don't. Everything felt well cooked and fleshed out in terms of writing. Except for the fact that sometimes the dialogue seem to come from video game cutscenes. The standard ones not the above the rest kind that are worth noting. Then of course then the art of the animation. Point is the show's great and I'm glad I got introduced to it.

[@andrewpenny4676]

Give jinx an aeroglider and she green goblin.

[@nikoisuglyjk1694]

@Daniel the Maniel I Highly respect our opinion but that's debatable.

[@joaoffmoraes]

@Daniel the Maniel agreed. And I'm a Joker fan.

ARCANCE IS THE the King & Queen of Animated Series😍🤩🎇 “There’s a monster inside all of us.”- silco

[@theindexfinger3434]

I cried like a baby when Vi hugged Ekko, and before Arcane, I had no idea of LoLs lore, never played the game.

[@djturbo89]

11/10 .... I've watched it 5 times since release =P

[@RobinsMusic]

Love the persona music fits very well

[@LegionZGaming]

yep arcane touches my soul and my heart

[@Lumberjack_king]

0:05 that doesn't mean it's players aren't toxic as hells swamps

[@outsidethebox262]

The most well made animated feature of the last decade. The combination of 2d and 3d techniques is incredible.

[@daikhairai7194]

Jinx supplants Joker-esk characters like Harley quine, as for joker. really depends on the run but as long as the leto joker is out of the running from the start

[@wespertalk]

It was sooo beautiful!

[@Caretoexplainwatchamean]

The shot at around 18:28 to 18:30. I can't remember it being a part of the series. Did I just miss it or am I stupid rn?

[@elijahcontreras3261]

If your talking about the scene of little man and powder that is from the music video that dropped before arcane was released. It's called Enemy by Imagine Dragons ft JID.

[@zardon_zane1630]

thats from the music video of the main song as the other fellow said before bud

[@Caretoexplainwatchamean]

oh, Ok, thanks

[@jademaverick8291]

What game is 0:24 ?

[@cestpasmoices3550]

nice video

[@tamizharasan7623]

I don't play league of legends but when I saw that series it really blowed me🤯🤯

[@Ticking-time-bomb]

I feel like If champions could be killed in the series...then I believe Jinx and Vi could end up patching up their differences and just except each other’s change...making their opposite personality a magnet way better then Caitlyn x Vi....but I feel like if they still could kill champions either Vi or Jinx would die or both after accepting changes in one another

[@Quts_]

I watched Arcane 5 times within a week sometime around a month of it coming out. I think it's safe to say that it's my favourite TV program. I am now having a break because I don't want to watch it so many times that it becomes less enjoyable for me. Never mind it's Arcane what am I talking about that shit will never be less enjoyable no matter how many times I watch it.

[@axowotahl]

I don’t know… This is the best series I’ve watched so far. Everything about it is so well made, so strong, inspiring. I don’t have any words to describe how good it was.

[@Sacto1654]

I think _Arcane: League of Legends_ , if view in the context of all nine episodes so far, sets a standard overall excellence in scripted entertainment we haven't seen in many years. It's arguably better than any TV show or movie released in 2021 in terms of pacing, character development, and flat-out awesome artistic design.

[@lydiaruby89]

I believe going in blind is probably best. I did. If I had known who was a champion or not, that would certainly take some of the stakes out of the story, because obviously they're not going to kill off a champion, not this soon anyway.

[@idiotengineer3925]

I never played LoL and this show completely floored me

[@mukamuka0]

Yup! League is really a good game. There's bugs but Dev continuing to fix it and constantly updating. It's free to play and you can achieve rank1 without pay a cent. Most of the bad side came from community itself... but with the nature of MOBA meant game experiences is tie to the healthy practices of player base.

[@333kenshin]

1:38 - "given one's NOT lack of knowledge" um, also known as "one's possession of knowledge"

[@alphamorion4314]

I used to fantasize about something like Arcane many years ago, only made by Blizzard and telling a story about StarCraft. Precisely with this formula: TELLING the story, not just relying on it for simple fan service. I'm not even mad: thanks to Arcane I started being a bit curious about the lore of Runeterra since all I knew before the show about LOL was... well... nothing. Only that "it existed".

[@ThomasGodart]

Arcane is by far the best entertainment of 2021... Enjoy, people! Thanks for the video Yatoru

[@vaporwave4880]

I’m not sure the world deserves Arcane, but I’m so glad we have it.

[@SaraSong-mw3zm]

When we get S2 of Arcane Ik exactly who I want to see "its time to let the monster out"

[@slaaneshhedonite7068]

I know nothing about the game. I just watched the show. Fooking loved it.

[@damefame8921]

1:58 I beg your pardon 😂

[@paulhugo1623]

Awesome

[@JinxMarie1985]

Of course JINX is my favourite. Her back story hits me so hard because of what has happened to me. I honestly can say she is much like myself in a way. I love her. And her and VI hits me very hard as well due to me and my twin sister. There is so much I can say about her character progress. And I love Vander. His connection with JINX is very heartbreaking but also so sweet. He took care of her. He loved her. Very much amazing character development. Also I cannot stand Ekko. Just a typical character to me. He is no legend. He's a bratty boy with a cool name with the gift of time. However that's all he is to me. Feel free to respond to me about what you think about Ekko. Thanks!

[@mito-pb8qg]

Best show in the world to me. Bar none.

[@brittvaughn9447]

I think Powder's reaction to her entire family marching off to possible death after already losing so much was reasonable. Her panic was totally understandable if you're really in her shoes.

[@sebastiansiedler3829]

i know you dont mean it like this :) but stealing means taking stuff that doesnt belong to you and oh boy does every price and praise belong to arcane :)

[@kingace6186]

Arcane is cutting-edge in every regard.

[@agnostikidn3426]

I love her..
