Watch It All Burn

Arcane continued to deliver the same emotions and quality as the first season in every aspect. The animation is just beyond great. Viktor's story and journey is by far my favorite on the show. I couldn't imagine dealing with the things he has had to and continuing on, along with trying his best to help people. The fight near the end of the episode is the best part for sure and the casino slot effect on Sevika's arm made by jinx is absolutely awesome. I have to admit I didn't care too much for Caitlyn as a character in the first season but she is growing on me. Her and Vi's relationship is another great addition to the show. I cannot wait to see what's next!!

This second season does not dissapoint at all with its amazing storytelling and character development! Instead this shows potential of being amazing, based on what we have seen thus far!

What really stuck with me after this episode, was the character of Viktot! His character have really developed since season one! His character seems to be one who could ælay a key role at some point, and reveal more of the Arcane!

We also get to see Jinx in this episode, which did not dissapoint either! She is just as I would expect, qnd i just cant wait to see her journey In this season!

The fight was incredibly satisfying to watch as allways! Great animation with some creative weaponry!

The opening sequence and song, artistically crafted to feel Jinx's emotional state was perfect. Not only is the hybrid art with 3d cgi, 2d hand work, and multiple artistic layers phenomenal, the soundtrack is perfectly executed throughout the episode and both seasons. "No red rose of your grave."

The story continues to drive superb storytelling, character development, and artistic expression that cannot be replicated through live-action movies. They have a genuine gem, that sparkles and keeps surprising.

Dirty little animals You cannibals, eat your supper One by one, all these vultures keep coming Pretty little lamb, don't come down here You're gone, sucker.

This episode contrast to episode 1 focuses on the undercity and the power struggle between jinx sevika and the remaining chem barons. The opening music video featuring all this was especially entertaining. Every arcane episode you can at least expect a really cool music video you can replay over and over.

Sevika and Jinx especially have some really good character moments that ensures their characters stay evolving and not stagnated. The final fight of the episode was ultimately the lowest stakes fight of the whole show, but definitely one of the funnest and funniest. It was much less about choreography and more chaotic, which makes it really unique compared to other arcane fights.

This episode also furthered viktors storyline, the pace at which his storyline has gone in just 2 episodes is very surprising, yet doesnt feel rushed. Of course the show is called Arcane, and his plot really seems to be the driving force behind the magic storyline in this show.

I really hope we see more development and radical change in jayces character, since vi cait viktor jinx sevika have all gone through a lot of development but jayce is still very cookie cutter good guy in bad situation as he was in s1.

Overall great episode, not as impressive as the movie like quality of episode 1, but still felt very fast paced (in a good way) despite being a buildup episode.

...but still a great episode.

The focus turns on Jinx, as she is hiding in the undergrounds of the city. She takes a child in her custody and a woman joins her as she gets attacked by the enemy. Meanwhile Victor reawakens with the power to heal the infected. This could be a gamechanger in future episodes. But the enemy does not sleep and we see someone working on more weaponry based on the green fluid.

All in all a slight let down from the first episode, but that's okay since the oremiere was outstanding. Now there is one episode left of the first act and I cannot await to watch it right away.
