Nic Autostraddle In true Arcane form, the visuals literally paint a sad but gorgeous image of Jinx feeling unmoored without someone to follow. Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Valerie Anne Autostraddle They really hit the ground running, and at the end of the first episode, I knew this season wasn’t going to let up. Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Rendy Jones RogerEbert.com "Arcane" continues to be the most visually stunning and dense series on television today, demonstrating why animation remains the most daring medium for creatives to convey a potent narrative. One can only hope for more stories from this vast universe. Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Austin Burke Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation Once again, Arcane proves its worth as a spectacle and one of the more impactful animated show of our time, even if it can't quite capture the magic of season one. Rated: 9/10 Nov 28, 2024 Full Review James Hanton FILMHOUNDS Magazine It is stratospheric. Rarely have the goalposts for what animation can do moved so dramatically, not only on a technical front but on an emotional one. Rated: 5 / 5 Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Frantz Jerome Black Nerd Problems There’s a consistent interplay between the relationships between characters and the real-life tensions they symbolically represent.

Kate R Sisters are the best and also the worst. You love them as much as you can and if you're lucky, they come back to you. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Gunny S Season 1 is very good, great. Season 2 unfortunately is a disappointment Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Jaroslav K (NO SPOILERS) Arcane - Season 2 is a continuation that not only matches the quality of the first season but, in many ways, surpasses it. The series once again immerses us in the captivating world of Piltover and Zaun, where the characters' stories grow deeper, more intense, and dramatic. What immediately stood out to me was the noticeable improvement in animation. Smoother movements, more detailed character expressions, and precise use of color make the second season a visual masterpiece that’s a joy to watch. The music, whether orchestral scores or curated tracks, remains exceptional and enhances the atmosphere of each scene. The second season picks up directly after the dramatic conclusion of the first, immediately grabbing the viewer’s attention. The story not only revisits beloved characters like Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and Jinx (my favorite, Ella Purnell) but also introduces intriguing new faces and develops their relationships. Jinx’s character arc, filled with both internal and external conflicts, adds a new emotional depth to the narrative. Supporting characters like Jayce, Caitlyn, and Viktor are given meaningful development, with their stories feeling well-crafted and purposeful. The action sequences are one of the series' biggest highlights. Every fight scene is choreographed brilliantly, visually stunning, and takes full advantage of the signature use of color that defines Arcane. The tension and emotions from these scenes are conveyed with incredible intensity. At the same time, the series balances this with quieter, dialogue-driven moments that advance the story and deepen character development. Episode seven, for example, presented an intriguing experiment with the multiverse, offering a fresh perspective on the world of Arcane and its characters. The finale of the second season was emotionally charged and full of twists. While some viewers may not agree with the direction the story took, it’s undeniable that the series concluded on a high note while leaving ample room for future developments. The open-ended conclusion suggests that the world of Arcane still has much more to offer, and I’m hopeful for further seasons building on the strong foundation of these two. Overall, the second season of Arcane is a thrilling experience, combining visual excellence, a compelling story, well-written characters, and phenomenal music. While some episodes had weaker moments, the season as a whole feels like a carefully crafted piece that satisfies both League of Legends fans and newcomers to this world. After much deliberation, I’d rate this season a solid |9/10|, and I can’t wait to see where the story takes us next. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/26/24 Full Review Audience Member Sorry but season 2 is so boring, heroic. All characters have plot armor. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/24 Full Review Audience Member Anyone who claims “poor storytelling” simply didn’t comprehend the story being shown. Arcane was a masterpiece that explored the human condition through the intertwined relationships and various plot lines each character faced. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Ashton L Honestly, it’s a fine show, season one has much better story writing than season 2 but then season 2 has better animation. Season 2 has a notable drop in story writing, the dynamic of piltover and zaun feels like it has disappeared, the noxian storyline feels like it’s been forcibly added by riot, but then I love the show due to its animation, episode 7 in s2 was great and that’s all I need to leave a review of this show Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
