I'm pretty sure it was a big thing when this show was airing, just how much money they put into this show, per episode. Like, I think it was something like ten's of millions. Overall it was $200-$250 million for both seasons; only 18 episodes btw.

2025-07-12 22:21:58 +0000 UTCOmg, I didn't breathe for 15 minutes, then I made an ugly cry face - without the tears - for the remainder of the show. Whew!

2025-03-28 04:34:43 +0000 UTCThe way he reacting to this, he ain't ready for this master peace, this gonna be a great fucking ride xD
Kim Ross Jensen
2025-03-27 18:49:37 +0000 UTCI've teared up watching a show or movie before but I have never full blown cried, until Arcane.
Josh Thompson
2025-03-27 04:14:04 +0000 UTCLove that you are watching the show, but please do NOT play League of Legends it is like taking crystal meth after watching Breaking Bad. Just not a great Idea for you sanity. But i can't wait for the next few episodes.
Barthel
2025-03-26 18:35:15 +0000 UTCJust so you know Alex something else I think you’ll like the series more for is that every song in it including the intro song is original songs made for the series. A lot of the artists that made songs for this series including Imagine dragons and JID were big fans of league prior to the series
Shafiq
2025-03-26 17:32:02 +0000 UTCwow, i had heard that this was a good show, and had it on the watchlist backburner, but i am surprised at how good it is. glad i tuned in
Sterling Mallory
2025-03-26 16:37:35 +0000 UTCI had zero interest in this show. But decided to give it a shot since Alex was reacting to it. Now I'm hooked.

2025-03-25 22:25:07 +0000 UTCWe lost another man with free will to league
Cole Romero
2025-03-25 19:28:15 +0000 UTCThey also specified that something mentioned in Arcane is the new canon, there aren't 2 canon versions of the same thing for example, it's just on hold until further developpement. Just like Rell for instance. She has her game's lore but with Ambessa's book, her canon self is now different
Rocketboy
2025-03-25 17:25:12 +0000 UTCWait I recognize that person in the thumbnail. I think it’s from a meme😂
Piipiipoopoo520
2025-03-25 15:26:28 +0000 UTCyeah, fuck that blondie and her not so handsome boy, we shall join the glorious E.
Arkadiusz Bień
2025-03-25 14:58:11 +0000 UTCYou are clearly misinformed. Although Riot is canon, there is more to it. Riot is soo lost in their own words that they made a statement that EVERYTHING what was shared, games, novels or the show - is canon. Except for the lore with summoners.
Arkadiusz Bień
2025-03-25 14:56:54 +0000 UTCOhhhhh trust me there will be more tears to come 😂 P.S. I wouldn’t recommend playing league of legends, that game will piss you off
Elaina
2025-03-25 10:50:02 +0000 UTCOh I cried again watching this with you. This episode is so incredibly heavy.
Trent Tellier
2025-03-25 07:37:27 +0000 UTCGotta check out Mickey 17 when it comes out that shi was fire
Hunter Angell
2025-03-25 07:29:18 +0000 UTCthis episode is amazing beyond words but SO hard to rewatch 😭
Jamie
2025-03-25 05:48:21 +0000 UTCI told ya.
Jared Johnston
2025-03-25 05:10:16 +0000 UTCYou say that now, but you and Alex have no idea how shocked y'all will be
James Kroeger
2025-03-25 04:53:37 +0000 UTCI had never seen Arcane before. Watched it for the first time right now with Alex and wow… what a show! I’ll be looking forward to next week’s binge!!

2025-03-25 03:03:23 +0000 UTCOne year. Infinity War came out in 2018. Endgame came out in 2019.
Diana
2025-03-25 02:50:54 +0000 UTCMORE MORE MORE MORE I will go to tier 3 if you binge the whole show 😭😭😭

Jacob Casdorph
2025-03-25 00:45:05 +0000 UTCalso Severance in my opinion is also as great as this show
Down D. Stairs
2025-03-25 00:31:41 +0000 UTCand i gotta wait a week for more this will be tought but worth it
Down D. Stairs
2025-03-25 00:31:18 +0000 UTCFyi Arcane is 100% canon. Arcane is as of season 2, officially the CANON lore of League of Legends so they actually have to rewrite everything that don't make sense anymore. They actually already rewrote a lot of lot content in game for the arcane champs. They're on their way but arcane is the true canon lore of LoL If you're interested about it you can find articles/videos of LoL devs talking about it but it is 100% confirmed, Arcane is the canon
Rocketboy
2025-03-25 00:16:28 +0000 UTCYeah this show is gonna stress you out even more trust me😂 but it's peak
Thunder⚡️
2025-03-25 00:06:07 +0000 UTCI cant wait for the next episodes oh my god 😭 Arcane is a masterpiece both visually and story-wise!
justjennyi
2025-03-24 23:56:02 +0000 UTCNot fking wrong league has some damn good lore and stories but the game is meh and the community is hella toxic
Nightmareman99
2025-03-24 23:22:59 +0000 UTCWell you can now see why we wanted you to watch these. Show is way to damn good. But Vi didn’t abandon powder she stepped away completely overwhelmed for a moment. She was completely ready to jump back in to save powder despite what she did but she was knocked out before she got the chance. So yes now powder believes she was completely abandoned But yeah man imagine having to wait a week to get act 2 after that. (Arcane season one was dropped in batches of 3) Honestly this shit was more painful than the end game wait and we had to wait a year for that
Nightmareman99
2025-03-24 23:14:09 +0000 UTCI would have loved if you had let the music run at the end of this episode, it's goes so well lyrically with the story. I'm not mad tho I differently missed that the frist time watching to. Can't wait for next Monday now 🤩
Shandie H
2025-03-24 22:17:54 +0000 UTCI just wanna say Vi didn’t abandoned Powder. Vi just experienced something traumatic and lost her cool she stepped away to compose herself. She never left her and was coming back but Marcus drugged her and took her away. Vi is a child too. Also powder definitely should have listened and stayed home. Best arc is the last 3 episodes ofc
Ana
2025-03-24 22:08:26 +0000 UTCIt genuinely only gets better from here, like there are 18 episodes, none of which got scored below 8.5 on IMDB and only 5 episodes got scores below 9; 2 of which you just watched so it's really no exaggeration. This show is about as good as it gets
Luca Storminger
2025-03-24 22:07:58 +0000 UTCVi is such a baddie. Straight hands
Ana
2025-03-24 21:47:11 +0000 UTCAh okay thank you! I litch re subbed the second I saw he finally got round to watching this 🤣🤣
Sarah
2025-03-24 21:45:47 +0000 UTCNext Monday most likely. And the soundtrack goes so hard especially season 2
Ana
2025-03-24 21:45:09 +0000 UTCI say skip tangled and let’s just do the next 3 ? Who’s with me lol
Ana
2025-03-24 21:26:13 +0000 UTCI knew you’d love it! So glad ya finally watching the show! I can’t wait to see your reaction to the rest of the season and then season 2! I’ve the shows soundtrack on repeat on my Spotify . When will eps 4 to 6 be out? Yes I’m that impatient haha
Sarah
2025-03-24 20:59:47 +0000 UTCyeah I get that, I really want him to check out jjk cos it's my favorite but personally I think AoT is probably the best one for him to start with.
dar7krides
2025-03-24 20:33:06 +0000 UTCI hope he does either FMA:B or Chainsawman in the near future. They’re both pretty short so you don’t have to watch 500 episodes lol, yet despite that they’re still S tier 10/10 shows. Demon slayer and AoT are also great but I think those might be too “Japanese” for him, if that makes sense lol (at least for now), whereas the former 2 are more Americanized.
DropBear
2025-03-24 20:24:44 +0000 UTCYeah the first 3 are amazing and it only gets better from here. This is why we constantly asked for you to watch it lol
Antivalentine
2025-03-24 20:16:49 +0000 UTCNever had an interest in this show. Now I do. And now that I got fired. I guess I'm just going to have to binged the rest of the series. Not sure I can wait a week. Lol
kenny mannino
2025-03-24 20:04:29 +0000 UTCNo motion capture for the animation either which is crazy. Animators would make faces in a mirror next to them or film themselves doing stuff and animate it based one just watching themselves.
Matthew O'Brien
2025-03-24 20:00:25 +0000 UTCPeople who don't play LoL: DO NOT PLAY LoL!!! LoL players: DO NOT PLAY LEAGUE!!!!
Matthew O'Brien
2025-03-24 19:58:20 +0000 UTCYeah I wanna sob uncontrollably again. I’ll rewatch arcane with you
Lee Smith
2025-03-24 19:58:00 +0000 UTCI gotta say that my favorite ark throughout the series is ekko or little man and just his story
James Kroeger
2025-03-24 19:18:37 +0000 UTCThanks for watching man! Really love how much you're appreciating it. And to answer your question, it only gets better from here if you ask me, you have no idea yet. And yes, as others have said, League is not worth it, at all. Too toxic as well. Keep up the great work! Can't wait for the next episodes!
MSephiroth
2025-03-24 19:01:54 +0000 UTCNova? Is this true?
David Ivaškovič
2025-03-24 19:01:46 +0000 UTCAnd then imagine nova saying the show was story-wise just okay because she couldn’t bond with the characters…like what?! Girl you are crazy
Oliver
2025-03-24 18:50:17 +0000 UTCI hope Alex will make a reaction video to his music channel with all music from Arcane. Especially music from 2nd season. Favourite acts: Act 2 season 1 Act 2 season 2 It just broke me when I first saw that
PU DI
2025-03-24 18:49:03 +0000 UTCPlaying league of legends after watching arcane is like doing meth after watching breaking bad only at least meth heads are happy on meth
Agus Mercado
2025-03-24 18:31:36 +0000 UTCOh god, here it comes...I don't want to cry again
grimreapercz
2025-03-24 18:31:12 +0000 UTCThis episode definitely is one of the best ones, but the show definitely doesn't downgrade, no episode in season 2 is rated below 8.9 on imdb. That being said, the first two episodes are the worst rated ones of the entire show so you're in for a treat.
David Ivaškovič
2025-03-24 18:17:23 +0000 UTCThat’s not true lol. Only the backgrounds are hand drawn not the characters they are 3D animated
Oliver
2025-03-24 18:04:16 +0000 UTCThis episode is one of the best, but that doesn't mean the quality drops after this at all. It continues to be amazing all the way through.
Sneaky Haines
2025-03-24 17:56:05 +0000 UTCI REPEAT. DO NOT PLAY LEAGUE OF LEGENDS!!! It's nothing like the show.
David Ivaškovič
2025-03-24 17:52:26 +0000 UTCAnd also if Arcane will be to your liking, I highly suggest Edgerunners next. Seems to be funky and shit but that's some real trauma waiting there
Arkadiusz Bień
2025-03-24 17:47:54 +0000 UTCIt definitely gets more intense and it progresses. I love it
Lucas Husli
2025-03-24 17:44:09 +0000 UTCAnyone that tells me they don't enjoy the art style in this show, I just can't agree. Because the art is top tier! So beautifully made. I want every frame as a PC background.
Destany Johnson
2025-03-24 17:31:38 +0000 UTCIt's GUTWRENCHING, it's Beautiful, and it's action packed. What more could you want? Lol
Destany Johnson
2025-03-24 17:25:28 +0000 UTCjust so you know the entire animation is hand drawn, the animators act out the scenes before animating so thats why it seems real. and all the music was made specifically for this show including the opening credits.
Mohammad goodarzi
2025-03-24 17:25:06 +0000 UTCbro needs to start watching anime lol 😂
dar7krides
2025-03-24 17:24:55 +0000 UTCI love that you mentioned that the animations look like they're acting. I would also like to highlight the camera angles. The animators managed to achieve camera angles that are shakey like hand held cams. It looks like a filmed movie but it's animated. AND every frame looks like it could be a framed painting. For me, everything about this show, from the writing, to the art, to the acting, and the MUSIC, is 10/10. There's very little that can compare.
Destany Johnson
2025-03-24 17:23:55 +0000 UTCWelcome to the shitshow, Alex. This is going g to be the ride of your LIFE 😁 And you are going to love every bit of it.
Destany Johnson
2025-03-24 17:20:55 +0000 UTCYep 100%

2025-03-24 17:12:39 +0000 UTCPeakkkkk
Kenobi7jn5
2025-03-24 17:12:26 +0000 UTCDon't play league. Game's not worth your mental health. Dive into the lore, it's fantastic, I highly recommend YT Channel "Necrit".
Arkadiusz Bień
2025-03-24 16:52:05 +0000 UTCPlease don’t play League! It is NOT like the show.
