The production team has worked real hard to make something worth the money they were given. The characters are well drawn. And the animation is okay. The effort is obvious seeing the catch lights that are on any character, regardless of lighting. The story is rather boring, and uniform. Stealing is good. Capitalists are bad. Magic exists. It's all a mess. So far Netflix has released only three episodes, and the idea is how good it is to have people live on taxes. Don't worry little serf, your offspring will have a beautiful life thanks to the taxes you paid.

There is a moment of leap. About creative process, it must involve gathering or meeting certain standards at any point given of the chain of production. We may define, latu sensu, the resulting quality as the strength of the weakest piece of a chain. Arcane is not about clichés, although injustice, discrimination, ambition, love and hate, being universals of human nature, are, at the same time, in and out the category of ordinary repetition, plagiarism or lack of insight. There is nothing ordinary about Arcane. All of it is flawless, touching, remaking the animated fiction, between sci-fi and fantasy, as in life,to the next level of realization. Like, after jumps like The Matrix or Inception, Alita Battle Angel showed the power of animation, maybe a transversal frontier that is leveling up the entire human culture, from 2D animation to virtual and augmented reality, this is about the new "real" around entertainment and creative industry. Whoever cannot see and feel the smell of the Tempest blowing is in lack of common sense. Arcane, like many coming from and to the game entertainment industry, a masterpiece, is a truly beautiful thing. It's is not about the script, of good quality, nor about soundtrack or character's animation. The question to consider is the feeling it arises on the viewer, that sense of wonder unbound making those pieces constituting a new distinct Art, once called the seventh. Maybe this should be classified a number above. From Japan, US, EU, China, Canada or Korea, there's a new player in town. Time must pass to understand the reshaping process the creative human experience is passing through. Congratulations. It was a really good wine, and even the bottle was reshaped, Klein like. It is a once in a while event, years, a decade? We certainly hope for more. ASAP. Best don't follow

**Season 1: 9/10** **Season 2: 4/10** I was a staunch Arcane defender when it was only one season. Sure, it was a bit cliche and melodramatic, but the animation was unbelievably good and the characters were awesome to watch. The story as a whole was pretty interesting and I wanted to see where it was going. Then season 2 happened. What a mess, my enthusiasm for the show went straight down. Every single story arc set up in season 1 has been butchered to quickly rush the characters into what they're known as in League of Legends. Every single character was ruined. I enjoyed season 1, but for some reason the writing of season 2 makes me cringe a lot. It's like they asked the Reddit fandom to write the second season instead. Arcane had a lot of potential and threw it all on the floor. What we ended up with is a wannabe MCU superhero flick that also wants to tie into all the movies and spinoffs they've already started making. Do yourself a favor and watch season 1, then imagine how good season 2 could have been. **Spoilers** Caitlyn becomes a war criminal and never apologizes for it. Vi is a drama queen and becomes goth for like 30 minutes in one episode. Viktor becomes a generic villain because he was too good to exist on the show. Jayce is irrelevant. Ekko goes on an adventure to (very easily) discover time travel and literally nobody cares or questions it. Warwick happens for some reason. Prison sex scene happens for some reason. Mel turns into Captain Marvel. Abysmal garbage.
