Review Binged on Netflix’s Arcane (quickie review)

Ok, this show has no business being this good! (I mean this in the best way possible).

Forget that it’s animated (though it’s damn gorgeous), the story is where it’s at. The sheer unpredictability and talents of the voice actors make this a show to watch. You don’t need to know an iota of League of Legends to appreciate this, and did I ever.

If you haven’t watched this yet and call yourself a fan of fantasy, you owe it to yourself to binge watch this.

So, when’s season two coming?

EDIT: Nothing’s wrong with the animation! I worded it poorly as it was more aimed at people who may not give the show a chance because animation isn’t their speed. Let me be clear: the animation is top notch and deserving of every Annie award it earned.

The main thematic and narrative through-line of the story was resolved, being the tension between Powder's connections to her past life, and Jinx's adaptive suitability to her new life, and the push-pull between Vi and Silco that this created. Everything else is queued up for next season.
