But is that such a bad thing? Black and Missing (HBO) So beautiful and intricately detailed are these visuals that they’re liable to distract you from the movements of the plot. Flashes of brilliant neon light endow Arcane‘s supernatural elements with a true sense of magic. A hybrid of steampunk, cyberpunk and punk-rock aesthetics make Zaun the perfect contrast to the gilded opulence of Piltover. Characters’ faces register every flicker of emotion. But what really elevates the show’s solid storytelling is its transcendent animation. While the themes are heady, the characters-a ragtag crew of street kids in Zaun, a pair of young scientists in Piltover-are grounded. And I didn’t even have to slog through a 5,000-word Wikipedia entry on the franchise to appreciate what I was missing.ĭivided into three discrete “acts,” the nine-episode season chronicles rising tensions between the prosperous city of Piltover and the (literally) underground demimonde of Zaun, as magic and science begin to collide in ways both hopeful and terrifying. Which is to say that I approached Arcane, an adult animated series set in the League of Legends universe, with some skepticism. I’m not particularly excited about the convergence of TV and video games-a development whose inevitability has manifested in everything from the gamification of fandom and Netflix’s megahit video-game adaptation The Witcherto the same platform’s interactive experiments, like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, and newly launched mobile gaming hub.
