On November 9 the second season of Netflix’s Arcane based in the world of “League Of Legends” was released with the final episode being the conclusion to the series. 

Netflix’s Arcane has been a groundbreaking revolution in 3D animating and shows what $250 million can make. It was a critical and commercial success, earning a rare 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program.

Setting in the same universe as its game that it is based on, the debut season introduced audiences to its divided worlds of Piltover and Zaun and blends political intrigue, rivalries and strong emotional depth. Season one captivated the audience on the characters, specifically based on the two main characters who are sisters, Jinx and Vi. Their bond, fractured by betrayal and trauma, became the emotional centerpiece of the series. The narrative also explored the ethical dilemmas of technological innovation, with the rise of Hextech posing questions about power and responsibility.

 The second season builds upon the rich narrative that was established in the previous season and dives deep into the themes of conflict in society and personal redemption. The animation is one of the most gorgeous animated art that sets new standards. Each frame is meticulously designed by blending both 2D and 3D art to create a unique art style that brings the League of Legends world to life from something that’s just a strategy arena game. Developed by French animation studio Fortiche, it set a new standard for animation and art style. 

Arcane creates a legacy as a groundbreaking series. It shows its ability to create intricate narratives as well as create emotional responses and has left a mark on the animation industry and has become one of the greatest video game adaptations, even if it does rewrite the original lore. Watching it is easy as it requires no past experience with the lore or world. It is its own separate story from the game as it is accessible to anyone for viewing experience. While the final act can go by incredibly fast and even feel slightly rushed, Arcane remains a masterpiece of modern storytelling and should be a show that everyone experiences.
