Arcane tells the story of two young orphaned sisters growing up and falling into trouble in the twin cities of Zaun and Piltover. The series is based on the video game League of Legends, and while it drops you right into this fictional world, the necessary time and care is taken to set up the locations and characters in a commendable show-not-tell fashion. Solid character development and world-building means this is a thoroughly enjoyable watch without knowing anything about the game. The animation is downright exquisite.
There’s incredible attention to detail
As an anime fan, I found the animation in Arcane to be beyond anything I’ve ever seen from an animated series before. It’s clear that no artistic talent or financial expense has been spared in bringing the world of Runeterra to life. A great soundtrack, great acting, and a gripping story that pulls no punches when it comes to violence and more on the mature side. Only the first three episodes have been released so far, and I can’t wait to see what else they have in store for us!
