I feel like it's fair to say that it's difficult to adapt anything to the silver screen/TV these days, not that there hasn't been plenty of movies/shows that have tried and failed. But Arcane is proof that it can be done, and be done exceptionally well. By the time you reach the season finale you can tell that the ending was thought out from the start. Even giving depth to the villian Silco who seemed two dimensional at the start, but growing to care and love a little girl, showing that even the darkest soul can have a heart. It has been a long time since I've been truly impressed by a series(animaton or otherwise) and the fact that it came from out of nowhere makes it all the worthwhile. The amount of work that went into the details is outstanding. This is an animation that Riot Games and Fortiche Productions can be proud of.
The fact that it follows multiple story lines and there all unique in design is no easy task to pull of, but the writers rise to the challenge. Mark my words Arcane will pave the way for future adaptations. I loved the characters and there motivations made sense, they made mistakes, they grew and some lost sight of reality, This is testament to the writers knack for building the foundation to flawed and vived characters. It's a bitter-sweet feeling that an animation can have so much depth while most live-action characters feel like there hollow and without soul.
