Have you watched Arcane? I only ask because the second series is coming out in November and the first one was fucking spectacular - genuinely the best thing I've ever watched, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and I'm so excited for the second series - and I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. The tragedy, the writing, the animation, the immaculate execution of everything *chefs kiss* 10/10 would highly recommend if you haven't seen it.

i thought it was fine! arcane was very funny with how bad the surface level oppression metaphor is but let's be real i didn't watch it for the writing i watched it so that i could look at something pretty and go ahh how pretty

i could say a lot about my thoughts on it but overall it's mixed. i didn't like the setting or most of the characters, i did like the release schedule, and obviously i liked the animation. 99% of the show's appeal is in its animation, colour direction, composition etc. a lot of it falls flat if you aren't invested in the two main plots (the sisters & whatever the hell jace and viktor are at) and i didn't really like either of those stories. i liked silco & mel tho, i feel like it's probably no coincidence that the more interesting characters were original to the show & not from league of legends.
