I’m so in love with this show I’m making a dedicated thread. I’m sure y’all have seen Arcane hyped up to infinity by now, but it really is the shit. If you haven’t seen it and you like fantasy and action with a nuanced narrative, I can’t recommend it enough. Of course I’m a biased League player since high school (Jinx main, thank you very much) but it’s just such a good story, the animation is top-notch, and the soundtrack? Mastapeace. Any fellow cKers into the show? Any favorite scenes/fights/songs? Speculation about the next season? Feel free to post what you didn’t like as well. I could gush about this for pages but I’d like to hear what you guys think!

I am on the last episode!!! Don't know when I will get around to watching it but honestly it has been a pleasure to watch so far. As you said, phenomenal animation and soundtrack, and the story telling/characters are so compelling (although something that got me a little was
I also know negative things about League (refuse to play it bc I have not the head for a moba nor the patience to deal with toxic shitbags) and for others who aren't fans or into the series, it is still a fantastic show to watch if you like fantasy/action/adventure at all!

@(you need an account to see links) Yeah the only reason I could get into League in the first place was because I had a full team of friends to teach me and insulate me from the toxicity at first, but even they weren't the best sportsmen and could be mean in their own way. :') It doesn't bother me nearly as much these days and actually I've noticed my games have a lot more wholesome players lately. Maybe Riot is busting down, though that could just be because I moved out of NA lol.
@(you need an account to see links) Yesss!!! Honestly Jinx is my fucking gorl 5ever, but as I've grown up I do relate a lot more to Caitlyn. Fun fact: her voice actor is Katie Leung, the lady who played Cho Chang in Harry Potter!
@(you need an account to see links) Bro I've only rewatched 3 times damn!! But nah Silco is a big dumb poo poo head. Sevika tho...

As a league player since season 2, of course I had to watch this show and it is just AMAZING. It's a great show regardless if you've ever played the game or not. The animation is chefs kiss and the story is crazy good. Man did it leave off on a cliff hanger though! Hoping they don't make us wait too long for season 2!!

@(you need an account to see links) For sure I definitely agree about that, the world is shades of grey after all. Some parts just felt way too sudden/jarring when one character seemed to push for a certain outcome but then the next scene just flip flopped on their stance on it... maybe I just didn't get the nuance of their actions (since a lot of their behaviors, specifically referring to mel's council behavior) is very two faced to begin with haha
God the last episode is a big cliff hanger, huh? I can't even begin to fathom what's gonna happen in it (since a lot of stuff has been ramping up and suddenly THINGS ARE HAPPENING) but hopefully it's either not too painful of a cliffhanger or not too anticlimactic compared to the rest of the series/the impact of ep 3

YES it's so good omg, easily my favourite new thing in ages. I've never played League but my best friend is pretty into it so I knew from her that there's tons of lore and music videos and stuff, but neither of us were expecting the quality on this. It broke my heart like 9 times, the animation is gorgeous, the worldbuilding is incredible, the soundtrack is fire.. already excited to rewatch it. I almost exclusively watch things in the background while like drawing or being generally online, but this had my full attention and I was riveted the whole time.
I don't know anything about most characters so it was cool kind of guessing who might become a champion, and the most obvious one right away was Powder of course, so I googled who she is in the game like an episode or two in? And went "someone named Jinx, got it" and didn't think about that again until the first time Vi said the word jinx and oh my GOD my heart.
thank you for the gay rights peo ♥ @honeycomb ♥

I'm not into LoL so I haven't watched it, but my SO used to work customer support for Riot Games so he's been playing for forever and he's watched it and absolutely loves it.
