Arcane on Netflix: I do not even like Lol, but the series is madness

Video game adaptations are often a double-edged sword. They are either bearing only with the pink fan glasses or really well succeeded. The Netflix series to the MOB League of Legends, although I am absolutely no fan of the game, is definitely classified into the second category. The prelude of Arcane convinced me all the line.

Oh, League of Legends, if you can say nothing nice, you prefer not to say anything. But we are not here, so I explain to you why Data 2 is the better MOB. Before the LOL fans can now jump out triggered: honor, whom honor deserves. The better series adaptation definitely has her.

LOL? Isn t that the movie with Miley Cyrus?

Lol, i.e. League of Legends, Riot Games Mob is based on a whole world with places and characters, which will now find it in other games with the same lore background. But yes, the movie with Miley Cyrus is there, and he is not very good. Arcane takes on the background history of two LOL champions and accompanies the sisters Powder and VI through their difficult childhood in the gloomy lower city of the actual rich metropolis of Plover. Between poverty and dirt, the two beat through as part of the road so and go on predators in the wealthy upper town.

With the LOOL, I have never been very busy. But this is not necessary for the series and should not scare you. Of course, fans recognize one or the other minor character and understand a few allusions, but the story works wonderfully without prior knowledge.

Absolutely stylish

Optically, the animation series is a mix of 2D and 3D and has something of moving paintings. The scenes only strode before details and the color contrast between the gloomy streets of the lower town and the bright upper town is worked out very well. The soundtrack knows also with a mix of atmospheric background music and strong songs to convince. These strengths evolve developer Riot Games and the responsible French animation studio forties Productions for years with their cinematic and music videos too lol.

Arcane is significantly more brutal and gloomy than the comic Mob template, even if the degree of violence does not reach the level of adaptations of Castlemaine or the Witcher Animation Film.

Good characters: a must for every story

The story of Arcane grabs me from the first second. How the little powder clinging to his sister s arm, got me directly. From my I ll look in became a Oh, I looked the first act in a piece. Already over the first three episodes of the first act unfolds a complex and above all comprehensible history. Each character has credible motivations for their own actions and the main characters are not just black and white. There is a noticeable development with the most important characters and I would definitely know where to lead them. Incidentally, Deutsche Synchro has also become very good.

The three episodes of the first act can already see Netflix. The second act follows on Saturday (November 13) and the third act again a week later on 20 November. If you can do something with the style of the series and the fantasy steampunk setting, I can really just like Arcane. Such a moving and exciting story in such a cool look can not be found in every animation series.
