Arcane is more than a series about League of Legends, it s an animated drama loaded with personality

He said the master of the animation Hay Miyazaki that The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos. To create worlds he knows a lot of someone who generated movies with an imaginary as captivating as Princess Monotone, the trip of Chirico or El Castillo in Heaven, and only he and his team know the enormous amount of discarded fragments and The chaos that looms over production months before the pieces fit and create first level visual art.

So we can think of arcane, the Riot Games animation series on League of Legends that premieres at Netflix, but in the world of RENATER that the Californian developer has been creating over the years. The most veteran fans of LOL we remember the Journal of Justice, the ancient Lore, the remodeling of the mapping and the events narrated during these last times through kinematics, the descriptions of letters in Legends of RENATER or even a novel as Garden: First shield. As Miyazaki says, RENATER has been built with many fragments and a little chaos.

Some of the great worlds that are created now, are through the digital and interactive format, in the form of video games. The immersion potential of the video game is beyond doubt, but it is also true that the cultural moment we are living is the Transmedia. Riot Games understands it well since it creates all kinds of experiences, but arcane is called to be a before and one later for the IP League of Legends.

But let s start by summarizing what is arcane. In addition to being a series of animation centered both in the relationship between the sisters vi and jinx, as well as between the sister cities of Faun and Plover, it is the project More than 15 years of life Riot Games. This is so because it has been a development of several years, tremendously expensive and in an area totally alien to the study, beyond that they have created some excellent kinematics over time.

That is what is on the surface, what is seen from the barrier. But once you see the first chapters of Arcane, those that make up what Riot and Netflix have come to call Arc I, you realize that there is also an ambition within the series. This is so because, although the story does not stop being quite classic in general, yes that strives to have personality.

Sometimes that personality comes with a pretty striking atmosphere even for the League of Legends fans, a fairly explicit violence or a very high dramatic load for an adaptation of a PEG 12 game. But it will always do it with a really worked animation and quite unique. This is so because within the great budget animation, we will always recognize for issues such as lighting or movements if a film or series is Disney, Disney-Pixar, DreamWorks or Sony.

But what Riot Games proposes is a tremendously realistic animation, which almost flirts with the capture of movement in certain unusually realistic actions of its protagonists, and that with the approach Cartoon graceful the disturbing valley. It is not easy to marry this sickly realism for an animation with flashes that remind us that this is nothing more than a drawing, like the smoke of certain explosions or the paintings of Jinx.

At the narrative level, we are presented by Jinx s childhood, VI and her brothers at low funds, protected by Wander, his adoptive father and responsible for the bar the last drop. In parallel to that story, we are told by Jayce, a student at the academy, who is developing the technology hex tech that seeks to emulate arcane magic that only a few virtuous in all RENATER can use.

As it is natural, this begins to cross from the first moment, allowing us to take a look at what is to come, but focusing at the moment on the presentation and development of the main characters during these first episodes. A solid presentation, but that we want to see evolve in the next acts.

But if there is an aspect in which it is worth centers is in the musical. It is no longer that Enemy is a ball, and that imagine dragons have an incredible pit in the lol community, besides being a giant group, is that the songs are an authentic barbarity.

This house with a series of animation in which a very specific part stands out and faced with this as they are silences. It is not easy for a series of animation to get that your characters convey a lot with silences, looks or gestures, and Arcane proposes it.

In short, Arcane has seemed one of the most interesting animation proposals of recent times. It seeks to have its own personality and can be tremendously enjoyable for those who do not know the world of League of Legends.

Gracie s to Riot Games and Netflix Spain for allowing us to see Area I of Arcane before the premiere.
