Surprised we don't have a thread on this show. It's really good. It's an animated series that is a bit anime-like that's based off of the game League of Legends (LoL). Don't let that last part scare you though. You don't have to have played LoL or know anything about it. I never played. The story and themes is between sisters, rich and poor, loyalty and betrayal, peace and war, and everything in between. Really well done.

Season 1 came out back in 2021 and the last 3 episodes of s2 dropped yesterday. I think I'm 6 episodes into s2 now and it's been as solid as S1 and with even better visuals in some episodes. I'm going to have to watch the last 2 episodes that I've seen again to fully take them in. I was honestly overloaded by the visuals last night since I was still drugged up from a surgery on Thursday. I might need a 3rd viewing Cheese style or after some shrooms with how crazy it felt last night. :)

Oh...Arcane got a new season??
Sweet
Yeah, it started on the 9th. They dropped 3 episodes each week. It's all out now.

I've watched through episode 7 now, 2 left, and I'm really liking it. The storytelling has been great and the animation has been amazing. They keep mixing up styles too that I'm really liking. It feels like they came up with an animation language for it where the style matches the type of scene it is. Trying to keep it vague for spoilers but you'll see what I mean when you watch it.
