Arcane’s first season definitely impressed us at Kakuchopurei for telling a great story with interesting characters, an out-there setting, and gorgeous animation, music, and sound work. Even if you hate League of Legends’ toxic online meta, you’ll still love the Netflix fantasy show. Plus, that theme song from Imagine Dragon is infectious as hell, and I’m not even a fan of Imagine Dragons.
