ARCANE: Episode 1 Reaction

Bummer, I haven't been watching live, but I want to let you know that many (including myself) believe season 1 is a masterpiece. Amazing writing, animation, world building, character work, etc.

oh,dude let's go,I just re-subscribed for the Helluva shorts and I was looking for some other content to watch on your Patreon! This is gonna be peak! You're gonna love this show,it's insanely good!

Arcane!hell yeah❤️‍🔥

I am SO EXCITED that you are starting to react to this show!! It has beco.e one of my favorites and I can't wait to go on this journey with you!!!

Something you’ll notice about anime and or cartoons. Each one has a very distinct animation style.

Omg I didn't know you were watching arcane this is so exciting

Definitely on board for this one! I really liked season 1, but since I only sub to Netflix intermittently, haven't seen season 2 yet. Looking forward to seeing it with you if you persist :)

Tiiim!! Haven’t watched just yet but I’m so excited to see you’re doing arcane! Such a great show and the way they use music in this show is sooo good! The soundtrack is amazing.

The Arcane animation style is a groundbreaking 2.5D hybrid that blends 3D character models with 2D hand-painted textures and effects. Developed by French studio Fortiche Production, it combines digital oil paintings with traditional animation techniques to make every frame look like a moving piece of concept art. The style is often described as "painterly" or "Living Painting". Everything from skin and clothing to enviroments has visable brushwork, soft shading, and a rough, hand crafted quality. In short Arcane stands out because it treats animation like fine art, 3D provides structure and motion, while 2d painting effects add soul, texture and uniqueness. Its often cited as a benchmarkfor hybrid animation in long storytelling form. This Animation type is extremely labor-intensive: animators often spent a full day or more on just a few seconds of footage due to hand painted 2D/3D hybrid teqniques. It reportedly took around 10 months to animate a single episode in some cases.

Have heard this is incredibly sad.

Never seen Arcane, but I’ve been really tempted to watch multiple times. May have to watch along with you and give insight to what I was thinking like with attack on titan. Except this time it’ll be how I think my first time seeing it.

Super excited to follow you on your journey through Arcane. It´s an absolute fantastic series. From the animation, music, story, characters, couldn´t be more perfect tbh. I never played LoL, but I enjoyed this series so much anyway and I´m sure you will do so as well. Have lots of fun!

Subtitles would be good

Oh this is gonna be a good one.

Suncane? 🤔 ALSO YAY IM SO HAPPY TO SEE U WATCH THIS

"This is going to be emotional" HELL YEAH it is. Ugh I love this show, I legitimately woke up with a pep in my step because I knew you would be posting this today I'm so excited. This animation style is specific to the studio, Fortiche, but Riot is also known for really stunning hand-painted character art. It is 3D animation with a focus on animating by hand (it doesn't rely entirely on motion capture like a lot of 3D animation does). When Arcane came out, EVERYONE was dazzled by the animation style. It's beautiful. It's funny that you say the level of expression MUST be from real faces because as far as I know, Fortiche got this by doing the opposite. By animating by hand they were able to push expressions farther than reality, the way traditional cartoonists do. The song that plays as they go down into the Lanes is one of my favorites, the one that goes "Welcome to the Playground". I personally watch everything with subtitles and always want them on - BUT I've seen Arcane enough I will survive without them! Ahhh I love this show. It's hard to imagine NOT binge-watching it. When it came out it was released in sets of 3 episodes if I remember right. And oh man Silco is one of my favorite villains in anything. So good.

Amazing to see you get on that one, you're in for a ride. As for the animation, it's a masterpiece done by a French studio called Fortiche, and no, as crazy as it sounds, they didn't use motion capture, it's all done by hand, with lots of attention to detail and huge amounts of storyboarding to make sure every scene and detail goes smoothly.

So excited for him to get to season 2

This will be my first time watching it, so im definatly excited!🫣
