Keyser_Soze Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Watched the first episode and so far off to a slow start. What really turned me off is the top 40 radio soundtrack. I agree that the art is impressive on a technical level but it has an ugly style. It's like a nicer looking borderlands. Maybe something cool will happen in the next couple of episodes.

I'll agree that some of the show looks like a juiced up Telltale game, though. And I'm against imagine dragons just like in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 It feels odd to me to say you don't need to know anything about League to enjoy the show. So far it seems like most of the appeal is seeing the origin of these league characters. Like at the beginning when the dude says Jinx "Jinxes" every mission she's on, maybe a bit on the nose. Or in the second episode when you see what looks like her shark gun. And then dripping in a bunch of other popular characters. It's like, look look at this guy and they're talking, amazing!

I went into this knowing pretty much nothing and came away very impressed.  Maybe fans of the game enjoy it even more, I'm sure. I already started Ruined King: A League of Legends Story and that's been very good so far too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said you won't like the show if you know nothing about the characters. In fact it might do you some good as you won't know who's actually alive in the games.

elbobo Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Did a rewatch of the series with my fiancé. I think I enjoyed it even more the second time around, she loved it too. There are just so many blink and you miss it touches in the animation it is astounding. I would love to read a deep dive article/interview about the studio where they go into detail about what they did on this show vs how most shows are made. It is not just more time and money, obviously that plays a huge part but there is more going on here.  Still obsessed with Echo vs Jinx fight.

Massdriver Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 My wife and I binged it yesterday and today. Good shit.  I put this in the same tier as Castlevania and Invincible for recent animated shows that are damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Looks like we're gonna have to wait longer for the second season:  Arcane Season 2 Won't Be Ready This Year - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Arcane fans are eagerly awaiting the second season of the League of Legends animated series, but the wait will extend beyond 2023.  Quote "I just watched the third episode of Season 2 before my flight to China, so we're making progress on it," Laurent said. "It is not ready yet, and there's two reasons for that. One, you want the quality, you just don't wanna rush, and so that takes time. So that's the good reason. The bad reason is honestly like, we didn't know if Season 1 was gonna be a success… If I had known we could have started Season 2 way earlier, but we didn't know so we kind of waited a bit and so now we're paying the price, so it's unfortunately not going to be this year."  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if it 4 years between seasons if they can keep up with the quality of the first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Very excited to see more of this series, but November remains a long way off. I'll definitely enjoy revisiting season 1 before this arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
