Spiderman (from the hit Sam Raimi movie Spiderman 2) standing on the right holding a finger up in the air reprimandingly.

A dialogue bubble coming out of him on the left that says “Don’t talk to me or my family unless you’ve watched Arcane”.

Arcane is a beautifully animated 2-season-long Netflix show with phenomenal character writing, immersive world building and a noteworthy soundtrack. It’s about to air its final episodes this weekend and as a certified nobody, I highly recommend watching it.

    I kind of wish this beautiful animation, huge effort, high budget and excellent storytelling hadn’t been the product of a fucking Riot game. That company, its business model and its players are so toxic the success of the Arcane series feels hollow to me.

      I played the game once and immediately dropped it, but Arcane had me gripped all the way through. The people who worked on the show absolutely deserve the praise.

    I also highly recommend watching it! The fight scenes are awesome and the animation is soooo fluid. Such a good example of adapting a game’s world to a series

    Any way to purchase the series instead? I canceled Netflix when they added a subscription tier that shows ads to people who pay.

    I don’t want to support a streaming service whose customers are advertisers instead of viewers.

      There are multiple physical releases for the first season but you’ll have to use alternative means for the second season for now
