So freaking good! He is an astonishingly excellent narrator!

Those cheapskates are still selling it as a trilogy and not as one volume?

That was an incredible moment...and the other bit that broke me internally was

Well that was a weird dream.

What have you lot been up to?

ARCANE....fuck me.

Just finished ep 6 of S2 and I'm about ready to call this the BEST animated show made in North America in the last decade, possibly more.

The animation is next level gorgeous. You can feel every last cent of the budget on the screen. Every single shot....no lie....every single shot is worthy of a painting.

But the thing that's made this such a phenomenon is the storytelling, the writing. I'm trying to think of something that even comes close...certain eps of Vox Machina, maybe? But even then, ARCANE is playing on a completely different field. The intricacies, the human relationships, the emotions....like multiple episodes have brought me to tears...and others have made my pump my fist in the air, and others have dropped my jaw at revelations.

I will be buying this as a two season BluRay set when it comes out...it's shelf worthy and I want to watch it again and again and pick up details I missed.

If you are not watching this, you should be. If you plan on watching this but haven't? RECTIFY THAT...the second and final season ends this Saturday with the final 3 eps dropping, so you have no excuses. If you don't have any interest in this show, then I pity you for avoiding prestige storytelling and animation that punches you in the face.
