Arcane review

Arcane far surpasses its video game inspiration in that it rolls with complex characterisation and story beats. It is fundamentally a show about not only class divide, but also the humanity inherent in warfare. With some exceptions, its antagonists are sympathetic and above all nuanced, and thus the conflict is less about good and evil and more about the consequences of one’s choices.

The animation is peak. Its a painted CGI style as we’ve come to see in many works for the past few years, but still manages to feel fresh and authentic. The 2D elements are especially vibrant. If I have one critique, is that I don’t like how the teeth are done.

Overall a stellar recommendation
