I left out the "league of legends" from the title purposely because I feIt that would decrease the number of individuals interested in this show. I had absolutely no interest in this show because I thought it was just another cr*ppy video game adaptation, and having never played League of Legends, I had 0 interest. But I have seen a ton of positive comments regarding it, so I gave the first episode a shot, and I think it really has potential.

The animation is absolutely beautiful. The story so far seems to be interesting, I think the voice acting has been solid, and this seems to be more geared towards, teenagers/adults than children.

There are currently 3 episodes out and will be six more released, 3 each week for the next two. I have only seen the first episode, but I am intrigued. Hoping others have given this a shot.

As far as I know they game never actually had a story to it really. This could literally just be a random show with LoL name attached to it. Doesn't mean the show can't be good.

Here's hoping Annie plays a role in the next one.

I don't know much about LoL, but Netlflix's DOTA anime was awesome, I'd be willing to give this a shot just because of that.

Watched the three episodes last night and I thought it was enjoyable. I know a little about the game and the world they set it in, but if you go into this knowing nothing about it I bet you'll still enjoy it.

Started today and loving everything about this. The world and story, art direction, animation, and just everything are outstanding.

This show is actually the sort of thing I've been wanting to see in animation for a while, a (slightly) more mature sci fi/fantasy story with outstanding visuals. Parts of this remind me of a side project I've been working on for a long time, really excited to see where this goes.

Found this thread a few pages in. Havent played the game it originated from in several years for many reasons but this show was fantastic. Have a few friends who know nothing at about LoL and they enjoyed it very much as well.

The art is amazing, the voice actors smashed it, and the music (while not really my preferred genre) suits the show perfectly. My only complaint is not having any more of it to watch... for now.

Will check this out. Netflix has done a pretty stellar overall job with their anime content.

Don't know that I'd consider this anime, the style is really something unique.

Yeah, I tend to use that word interchangeably with animation.

Watched trailer. Definitely unique.

There's a Tibbers in here as well. I had this username before Jinx was announced as a champ so not technically a league reference, but I still roll with it anyways.

Just finished watching this series with my teenager. Really enjoyed it and I was the one insisting we keep watching the next episode! Beautifully drawn and the story was great. Thumbs up.

This was shockingly good with really good animation too

Season 2 confirmed, but for 2023 or later.

On November 20, 2021, following the conclusion of Arcane's first season, Riot Games and Netflix announced that a second season was in production for a post-2022 release.

I just finished, and I'm really disappointed it will take that long. Probably worth it though.

Wife out of town so I may check this out tonight.

So I'm five seconds into this and immediately realize this is the Dishonored universe. Makes sense because it's called Arcane and that game is made by Arkane Studios.

However, I research further and discover they aren't related. Really? This show has blatantly ripped off the Dishonored games unless those games first ripped off league of legends which I know nothing about.

I don't really care either way but watching this is basically watching cut scenes from Dishonored.

7 eps in, and it's one of the best animated shows I've ever seen.

Finally got a release date for season 2, dropping in 3 acts, all in November

Season 2 is the last, unfortunately. I wish this show would go on much longer.

I just watched this show a few weeks ago and echo that it's amazing. Never played the games or know anything about them
