Arcane (2021– )
9/10
Very unexpected..
22 November 2021
I don't care about LoL. It's not my type of game and I had no interest in it whatsoever. I had heard about this show though.

Animation is something I always cherished and this show has gorgeous visuals. The lighting and shot composition is breathtaking.

Story-wise I didn't know what to expect at all and I was hesitant to believe the hype since it's a well known IP with a great many fans, who usually don't make for the best critics.

First episode in I liked it all quite a bit. The soundtrack was distractingly mediocre though, especially the intro, and it didn't seem very inventive from a story perspective. The pilot episode of any show has the daunting task of introducing the world, it's characters and conflict, but it was all handled very competently and I enjoyed the journey.

A few episodes in I was completely hooked. The characters, story and world-building were working in tandem so flawlessly, that I had a hard time pointing out even the tiniest mistakes, because the show-runners took great care in every aspect.

Can't wait for season 2. I have high hopes for this show.
