ARCANE [2021] REVIEW

Been watching a lot of animation and cartoons last year and the few days in 2024 and one thing I can really say from my heart is Art is amazing. I really love and adore these animations I watch. I don't think I'll ever outgrow 'cartoons" for real.

Arcane is a 2021 animation. Funny how I haven't/ didn't hear of this epic animation that year. It's a series that is set to the same universe as the game, League of Legends! It serves as a prequel to the game. The story revolves around technology,the world of piltover and the lanes of Zaun.

With its main character being Vi,I couldn't think of a more suitable person that fits it.

Piltover is the central location in the series.Piltover is known for its advanced technology, wonderful architecture and a bustling atmosphere. It's a home to brillant inventors,wealthy people and scientist. The city is located amongst the cliffs above the district of Zaun.

Vi is a strong young female that was brought up in a rough world and had to work and fight to earn her place in the world. The animation series tells us about her relationship with her sister. It shows us their growth and progress.

Arcane also mixed a lot with technology and magic. With the higher ups trying to us technology to create 'magic' with a good intention in heart; solely to help those sick and to make the world a better place. They're being taken advantage of and this technology is abused and falls into the wrong hands.

Arcane takes us through an emotional rollercoaster between the two sisters. It shows us how relationships can easily break and people can split apart like they never knew each other. It also shows us the discrimination between two worlds of the same kind. Vi grew up in the rougher parts of piltover,the Undercity which was located under its glamours surface. This explains why she was so tough.

One thing I really loved about the show was its animation! The animation was great,looked great! I also loved the fact that you could feel the characters emotion through the TV/phone/ laptop screen. Vi is a really lovable and relatable character. A pretty one too. She plays her elder sister role perfectly, has some flaws but hey,who doesn't?

There's a lot of violence and explicit content in this series. It's PG-13 nevertheless. It's a good show. With its first season out in 2021 with a total of 9 episodes,we expect a new season this year.❤️‍🩹

I'd rate the show 4 stars. It's a good one. One to feed your eyes good!
