rather boring, and sometimes annoying
An absolute disappointment of a show. Poor handling of Obi Wan and Vader. Atrocious storytelling. Terrible chase and action scenes. The list goes on...
It carries the name but this show is a soulless shell of its legacy. I'd instead burn money than watch this again.
This tv show is very current. A lot of nothing, empty and soulless. Pure boredom.
I couldn't make it thru this series due to Moses Ingram's terrible acting skills. It was just too much to endure.
That Moses is such a bad actress, damn. I get so bored. Aren't there any good actors left?
They shouldn't give parts only because they are black. They should be good actors!
Holy, so much of this was just straight up bad. Visuals were pretty good, costumes too, but that's about it. If they had just put some more money into the script and acting and less into a need for ticking every box a modern piece of film seems to need (maximum diversity, "unexpected" twists, catering to the fans etc.) then they might have created something much better. This however, I am not going to continue to watch.
Horrible, they killed the show from the beginning with that horrible cast for the antagonist. it is difficult to watch that potato face any longer.
Sigh, what a disappointment so far... Seems like target for this is 10 year old kids while it should be 30 y old fans raised on old SW and ObiWan.
And then there is acting and the story which is utterly crap. So many scenes are just pure cringe. Who signs off these shows? Are they all just horrible at their jobs or they don't care about SW anymore.
I loved Mandalorian but this is just crap so far.
to put it short and simple, I'd give it 15 out of 10 if I could
more please, I am totally in for this!
What a legendary show! Really amazing 10/10.
I'm not even sure I can describe this series with words. I'll try. Groundbreaking, phenomenal, jaw-dropping, inspiring, simply a masterpiece! The world and the characters are complex, interesting and engaging. My favourite new series for sure! This is the most I've cried while watching anything and that's coming from someone who's new to this world, haven't played the game. And I haven't even talked about the action. It was SO GOOD that I was close to crying almost every time. The soundtrack, Oh my! I've been listening to the three act ending songs too many times now and I can't stop. Couldn't imagine this show being any better. MASTERPIECE
This show is absolutely amazing.
From the visuals to the characters or the story and the pacing everything is handled perfectly and with tremendous style.
Incredible, can't wait for season 2.
You know, I'm not really into animated shows or movies.
I play many games but League of Legends isn't something I'm interested in.
When I saw this on Netflix, I thought "well not for me".
Boy, was I wrong.
After reading many articles, I decided I should give it a try and launched the first episode.
And the second, and the third and so on and on.
I was blown away. I am still blown away.
The story is great, and far reaching. I know nothing of league of legends, didn't need to.
The setting, this steampunk/victorian/magical world is so unique.
The characters are full of life, full of emotions, doubts. They are not empty shells but full on humans/humanoids. More so than many live-action characters.
The graphics and animation are the most amazing I've had the pleasure to witness. I mean, every scene is grandiose. Like moving paintings. What a feast for the eyes.
And last (but not least), the music is perfect. The main title by imagine dragons is on point, and the score complements the story so well. Case in point, many scenes don't have any dialogue, the animation and the score being sufficient.
Emotions are high at the end, I can't wait for what's in store next year.
Please, please, please, do watch it. Even if games are not your things, even if League of Legends isn't. Even if animated video aren't.
Watch it.
Never played league of legends, know nothing about the characters. In fact, to be honest, I was a bit prejudiced against this show. I thought "It's based on a game, It must suck". A few months after it ended I saw it has a rating of 90+% on Trakt. And however subjective ratings are, you don't get scores north of 90% if you're shit, so I decided to check it out.
Was not disappointed. This is the best work of art I've seen in the last several years. The animation is stellar. You could pause it on almost every frame and set it as your desktop wallpaper. This is not an exaggeration. Almost every frame looks like it could have been painted by an artist. The voice acting is phenomenal, the expressiveness of the characters is spot on.
In terms of story, I only saw 5 episodes so far, so take it with a grain of salt, but I think there are many storytelling tropes here that people would find familiar. However, this is by no means a bad thing. Story-telling tropes exist for a reason - they make good stories. You only need to do them right. And this show does. There were too many modern shows and movies that tried to "SuBvErT eXpEcAtIoNs" just to fall on their face.
To summarize, I'm not one to give 10/10 ratings lightly, but I think it's completely deserved.
I knew very little about League of Legends beyond some character names, but this show absolutely blew me out of the water. It's clear they spared no expense in the animation and writing of this show, every episode kept me captivated and wanting to watch the next one. The TV-14 rating is a bit of a misdirect, the show tends to be pretty adult-oriented and can catch you off guard with some story elements.
I hope they continue adapting the universe they've created into stuff like this, they've clearly put a lot of care and effort into their characters and world-building.
Must see even if you don't know the game. Characters with character, interesting steampunk world, an amazing art & rendering style and fitting music. (judging from the frist three episodes).
This was hands down one of the best animated (any show really) shows I've seen in 40 years. I hate LOL as well but am a huge gamer and played it a bit 10 years ago. My girl doesn't know anything about the art and LOVED it as well. So good and so impressed.
Music, characters, hand painted on top of 3d models, story, voice acting. Just soooo good.
I've played LoL on a handful of occasions throughout the years but never enough to be familiar with the world/lore. So I went into this show pretty much blind and with little expectations because of previous games to TV adaptions.
But boy were my expectations completely blown out of the water. Everything in the first three episodes was damn near perfect. Animation. Score/soundtrack. Voice acting. World building. Captivating Story. Interesting Characters. Fucking insane. I cannot wait for the next episodes.
The story is captivating and doesn't shy away from violence and more adult themes.
The animation is gorgeous.
The character development is on point. The characters are deep, relatable and they each have their struggles and growth.
Don't worry if you know nothing about League of Legends. Solid character development and world-building make Arcane an enjoyable watch regardless of having no background knowledge of the universe.
This show is a masterpiece.
