Arcane

Rating: 9

Arcane is an exceptionally directed and visually implemented series.

The series plays in, or uses, characters from the video game League of Legends. I watched it without any character knowledge about it, and that was not an issue.

At times, it has huge shifts in visual approaches and alternative scene directing approaches. Which can make it feel experimental. At the same time, it’s impressive and - for the most part - interesting.

Only a few things felt forced or annoyingly unnecessary or extensive.

Most of it is great. The visual direction and implementation is exceptional. Not perfect, and through its shifts and experiments not consistent, but unique and high quality throughout.
