The Message Hidden Within the Pattern

The animation is better than any other animation I have ever seen... It's better than anything Disney or Pixar has ever done, and it's not even close. The exact same goes for the audio, which is extremely effective..

The story is truly something special the way they play on your emotions is epitomized in this episode. This is an extremely emotional episode and by the way the voice actors are ridiculously good in this show. I really can't nit pick anything unless you want to say the story is a bit fast paced in places. I can't wait for them to do more of these shows in the rest of the world. Very hyped for what might be the greatest animation of all time, certainly the best game adapted show of all time, by far.

I really can not put together the words for how I feel right now after watching this. This is on the same level as The base violence necessary for change in every aspect and could even exceed it in many ways as well. I'm trying my best to not give too much away about the episode because it is one you have to see without reading anything about before watching. The soundtrack, animation, writing, voice acting, and just every little detail is beyond great. The last 15 minutes of the episode put me through a blender of emotions and I was just sitting in shock with tears in my eyes by the end of it while the credits rolled. I don't want... I need the next 3 episodes now!!

Me and my dad watched this episode. I'm fourteen, and my dad is fifty-four, but we had the exact same reaction to this episode. I ended the episode with at least a good ten minute sob session, and he ended it with a look of complete shock and a hand to his forehead.

I could make a pretty good argue that this episode is better than 1x3 and 1x9. It has to be one of my favorite episodes of media ever, which is saying a lot. It managed to capture so much. The emotion, the dialogue, the storyline, to the animation. It's been almost a full day since I watched the episode, and I'm still in shock.

It really was amazing. Kudos to the Arcane writing team!

No words are needed. Whoever gives this episode anything less than a 10 is just a lunatic. From the smallest detail to philosophical arguments, hands down gave me the same (if not better) feelings/goosebumps as Game of thrones used to. Nothing else needs to be said just a massive bravo to everyone that contributed to this masterpiece. I just hope it will live up to the expectations that it has created up until this episode. Also just be ready for the emotional Rollercoaster this episode is going to create for you. Okay okay I'm for real done now (I will actually never shut up about what I just saw) PS. I never played LOL.

Honestly one should take a 5-minute breath after finishing this episode in order to grasp what just happened when seeing an animated top of the art series phenomenon that comes once in a decade.

The depth of each character, the richness of this universe the visuals and the sound, yes the sounds are really second to none.

When you thought you are already invested in every figure and generate the "right" feeling to them, then this episode enters and shattered it all and force you to cry and reinvest all from the beginning because everything is blown up to pieces.

Right become wrong, villain become hero and friend become enemy. Amazingly this being done in a such way that all this chaos unrealistic script becomes the most beautiful logical human show to see.

I really don't have anything to say except for lets wait for next week's explosion!
