Finally Got the Name Right

I know that the quality of SpiderMan animation (SpiderVerse) is revolutionary, with a good script and, of course, a great character. The Sony Animation team made a great job. But...

But this series, Arcane, and this specific episode, it's almost perfect! Everything is stunning, beautiful and absolutely necessary to tell the story at the pace and tone in which it is needed. And I don't know who started to use that mix of animation styles (Sony or Fortiche), but the french guys are making history ...

The Academy should create a special Oscar for this episode. Few movies have as much energy and quality as this episode.

I never played League of Legends, I'm almost sixty years old, but I know when I see a good movie (or episode or series). And Arcane is gold.

I'm fully serious this was peak Game of Thrones level of action, emotion, and storytelling. For a show based off league of leagues (which ive never played) this show deserves all the praise. The music blending into the fight scenes, Vi, Cait, and Jinx finally clashed and it was hands down the greatest episode I've seen this year. Arcane season 2 has somehow topped the first season so far. It's mindblowing how good the story for this show is. Every single character is written correctly and made to feel important and you care for them all. I can't wait to see how this story ends cause it's building up so good.

Personally, arcane season 1 was the best "animation" adaptation of game/book all time. Well, it turned out season 2 can and possibly will deliver more. Visuals are stunning, action scenes are phenomenal, character backstories are developping, story is building well. On the other hand pacing is a bit slow, we don't get to see the reactions of people except the main characters of the show. Anyways let's don't care much about these big pros and little cons, let's talk about MUSIC and SOUND design. Man! Riot, please you cannot be this GOOD. Every music, little rythms building up, enviromental sounds are synched perfectly. I don't know how many more songs we are going to listen but man I am into all of them. Can't wait for the other bands, singers' bangers. Overall; quite strong start with Act I, this episode was the best, can't wait to see where this season goes.

-Team JINX.

I hate to say it but with three episodes in, the second season is a step down from the brilliant first one. Arcane was such a strong show because the writing worked on a very deep, almost intimate interpersonal level between the main characters. The second season, though beautiful to look at, really zooms out and present a weirdly paced exposition dump held together by montages devoid of dialogue. I even had flashbacks to memories of watching late-night MTV "back in the days" as some of the show felt like a series of over-produced music videos.

My hope is that the writers simply had so much story to tell that they crammed the first three episodes of the second season with much of it, so that they can return to the better-paced story-telling and writing of the first season.

It just feels like crompromises were made. Let us hope that the show has time to recover.

Last time i saw something like this perfection was in my dreams!

There's an incredible finesse in the animation, the framing, and the colors - how they've made everything into such a masterpiece! Every time I paused to admire a frame I liked, everything in it was perfect. The fight scenes, the explosions, and each character's movements in the show were amazing. The character designs, the costumes, the accessories, each character has a unique, elegant, and highly professional style-flawless. The surrounding environment, rich with colors, effects, and forms, is just as captivating.

I wanna be one of those artist so bad.
