This show is for fans of Alita or Mad Max: Fury Road, fans of beautifully choreographed action scenes against stunning backdrops.
I just finished watching episode 1, and it felt as good as a Disney feature movie in terms of quality; many animation movies or series have visual faults that look like financial or technology short-cuts; but to my eye, Arcane's quality is 10/10 - meaning there is nothing that I would reasonably say that could be improved.
The story is also engagingly realized. It's rare that good writing is perfectly integrated with good direction, good acting, good pacing and good effects. When all these elements are combined you end up with Arcane or Mad Max: Fury Road. I would go so far as to say that Arcane is superior to "Dune (2021)" and "Bladerunner 2049" (sorry Denis), as much as I loved these films also.
I also ought to mention the soundtrack, which haunts you in their integration with the scenes that accentuates the mood and emotional connection. Previous to this series, I had never heard of League of Legends, and I am quite impressed that such a quality series and soundtrack can be associated to a game.
After seeing so many failed game adaptions or poor action/fantasy/sci-fi movies, it is just kind of amazing when a show like this comes out that is so high quality. It forces you to go to imdb to write about it.
