Plot: Amid the stark discord of twin cities Piltover and Zaun, two sisters fight on rival sides of a war between magic technologies and clashing convictions.
Season 1 of Arcane was Great.
Pros: The animation looks amazing. Watching this series feels like a new experience. I like this kept its focus on the developments of both Vi and Jinx. Did does know when to use Slow Mo so well to comprehend it’s action scenes. All voice cast were so good. I was surprised how much emotional weight, love and care went into this series and that ending was just mad.
Cons: I wish I had watched this when is officially released and the pacing can be hard to keep up with at times.
