Arcane: 5 Crucial Reasons Why This Show Is Something You Have Never Seen Before

If you haven’t already seen the nine-episode 1st season of Arcane from Netflix, you should do it right away. Even if you’re not a lover of motion graphics, or if you’re unfamiliar with Riot Games’ League of Legends (the shows’ inspiration), Arcane does more than merely raise the standard for animated movie and pc game adaptations. It’s an outright masterwork. This engaging futuristic fantasy series will be a difficult act to follow for upcoming animation and live-action shows since it is beautifully designed, multi-layered, and sophisticated in its narration.

Arcane has appeared out of nowhere to provide yet another surprise, just like one of Vi’s uppercuts. Those who have seen it have seen it know creativity is at the pinnacle of greatness. Arcane has permanently altered audience expectations of serial animation media. Here are a handful of the answers to why you should see it, with no spoilers.

#1 The stunning animation

It’s breathtakingly creative and stunning in every aspect, giving viewers things they have not yet seen on television screens previously. It’s nearly hard to talk about Arcane without mentioning its graphics, with the subject frequently taking center stage in any discussion of the series.

null
The striking design of Arcane is the creation of French animation studio Fortiche Production, which blends 3D and 2D graphics to generate a unique mixed-media aesthetic — a design the firm is recognized for. Backgrounds are digitally hand-painted, and 3D character designs are also given 2D texturing to provide a more unified graphic feeling with the characters’ surroundings.

Arcane is beautifully complex, from its massive Steampunk-meets-Art-Nouveau cityscape landscapes to the slightest flickers of shifting facial emotion (which isn’t built on motion capture). As a result, it draws you into its world.

#2 Easy accessibility to newcomers

Arcane: 5 Crucial Reasons Why This Show Is Something You Have Never Seen Before

Arcane is centered in the League of Legends world and contains some of the game’s most recognizable heroes. However, you don’t need to know anything about LoL or MOBAs to appreciate Arcane. The Netflix series provides an introduction to the universe, focusing on one area of Runeterra: the separated metropolis of Piltover. This immediately makes the show more approachable, understandable, and unimposing to non-Leaguers.

null
Arcane focuses on two levels. The show tells the story of a city that has been turned into a timebomb as a result of socio-economic injustice. While the “topsiders” live in a pleasant, prosperous ideal elevated to worldwide dominance by its capacity to merge technology and the arcane, Piltover’s nobility has ignored the “undercity” on the other side of the bridge. Its population is suffering from an impoverished, polluted environment and they are subjected to brutality from crime bosses and mass arrests. Addictions to the deadly yet potent substance Shimmer are rampant in this harsh world where technological advancement has taken a nasty path. Arcane is a Steampunk fantasy series, although it addresses real-world challenges.

null
Meanwhile, for viewers who are uninterested in big-picture issues, Arcane functions on a micro level at the very same time. Characters take varied perspectives on Piltover’s difficulties, yet they all deal with their own issues, which range from eroding political beliefs to mental illnesses and fatal sickness. The slum-dwelling siblings’ Vi (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld) and Powder/Jinx (Ella Purnell), whose damaged relationship is ready to ignite the big Piltover ticking timebomb, are perhaps the most crucial to Arcane at this phase.

#3 Game of Thrones vibe

Arcane does not saturate the frame with sex, nudity, and other R-rated scenes in order to look edgy. It is, nevertheless, clearly aimed at older audiences, as seen by its gloomy tone and expert treatment of its issues and personalities. In regards to the latter, the Arcane cast is only present in shades of grey. There are no contrasting blacks or whites. Everyone has several layers that are driven by genuine emotions and concerns. Even antagonists have redeeming traits, but even the most honorable of heroes have glaring flaws that they are aware of. Arcane is intriguing and sophisticated in a manner that most live-action shows could only dream to be, recognizing the shifting concepts and constant trade-offs that are central to human experience. It’s also worth mentioning Arcane’s other major Game of Thrones correspond: it isn’t scared to kill off important characters. Be mindful about clinging to favorites. You have been warned.

#4 The diverse women role

Continuing from the previous point, Arcane is a good example of female portrayal done correctly. The series depicts women in a variety of positions, from elegant, ever-diplomatic counselor to a veteran fighter to manic barbie horror girl. All of these personalities are represented by a diverse range of physical shapes, sexualities, races, and age groups.

null
While the main female characters, Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn, and Mel are all young, gorgeous women, they each have their own outer and inner wounds that enrich their personalities. They are also joined by an unusually large number of elderly ladies, which is uncommon in our youth-oriented culture. These veterans aren’t compelled to play the “weak older woman” stereotype. They are all regarded as women of strength and knowledge, with unique interests and valuable counsel to provide to the younger women they guide. Notably, unlike most other titles, Arcane refuses to isolate its female characters and confine their relationships to males exclusively.

#5 The combat choreography

One last topic to mention is how fantastic the fight scenes in Arcane were. In this day and age of easily thrown CGI rubber dollies and crazy rapid-cut filmmaking, Arcane’s combat is precisely organized and cohesive. While conflicts have a lot of visual flare – which animation clearly allows – hand-to-hand combat in Arcane is based on realistic combat sports and self-defense concepts. The ultimate product is exhilarating and satisfyingly crunchy, with characters frequently receiving damage as anticipated.
