@@GutaIcast Globally, Yes. Actually it is a mix of 2D and 3D animation, they also use 2D to camera project hand painted drawings on 3D models (backgrounds, objects and even for characters) the FXs are hand drawn tho.
One detail I really love is how most of the teaser has Orianna's music in the background, you can hear the clockwork ballerina tune right up to the moment where Singed closes his locket.
Singed was a student from Piltover, didnt like the whole hextech idea instead gearing more towards alchemy. I dont think he was a student under Warwick@@solandras666
I am so hyped for the next season. The first one was an absolute masterpiece in storytelling and I want the people working on the next one to take as much time as they need to deliver yet another banger.
Dont get fooled by singed tho. Renata will be our main villain this season. Essentially connecting us to noxus and with noxus neither demacia nor ionia is far way. I am hard guessing we wont see demacia, ionia, freljord. Because thats what the comics cover. There is not much left. Other then shurima. Shurima then connects us to maybe mordekaiser or void. Which then would be really fire to see void on action
I think arcane will end when the "two worlds collapsing" ends. What I mean by two worlds collapsing is that there is basically characters in zaun and characters in piltover, two different dimensions. I feel like Noxus was there just to give Mel some character and background. I don't think the story will connect anywhere, 2nd season will probably give us only the civil war- end of arcane. Characters will be broken, shattered, dead. But that is it, I feel like they will just leave it there and see what happens. So yeah, I doubt our main villain will be Renata here... doubt she appears at all! Singed and Warwick will be like a side story for us, interconnecting with the main fiesta going on. So nor is Singed our villain, because there is no villain. There is two parties that we love(piltover/zaun) against eachother... it all goes downhill from here. I think our main character might switch to Ekko... that would be cool. Imagine if they all die right before the final episode and the final episode is an Ekko clip... JUST IMAGINE IT MAN, THE HYPE WOULD BE GROUNDING! ... (Ekko shows up... it's a band. They start the coolest song ever written.) (As the song goes on the group members figures disappear one by one, leaving only Ekko.) (And finally when lights disappear, Ekko sits down, takes a look around.) Ekko: Sigh... (re)wind! End of season. @@ItsJustKaya
@@candleo. Yes! They can do so much with ekko! I hope they don't abuse the time travel too much, or it's gonna get repetitive. I also don't think Renata is gonna be the main villain, I'm not sure the show even needs one but maybe jinx is gonna be one, that would be fun.
You can tell one of the themes is gonna be transformation : Vander / warwick Singed and chemical enhancement Viktor and biomechanical enhancement What remains of them ? What has changed? What does it mean for the plot and Piltover/Zaun ?
Can introduce blitz and Camille. Transformation of atomaton into a conscious being and a conscious being into automaton. Both in the name of protection. One that rebuild himself and one that made others rebuild her.
I hadn't played LoL in a few years. Watched the first season of arcane and it was incredible, so nostalgic. I used to main Vi and play a lot of jinx. The art, the style, the storytelling, and the respect to the original content. Fantastic, for both fans of the game and not.
Vi was my favourite jungle pick when I played league. I had so much fun playing her. Coincidentally I started playing league when she was released (her and zed my oldest memory).
See this is a show we’re you can truly say that they had an unlimited budget for animation. Beautiful fluent animation feeling realistic and yet it still also feels like a different world. This is true absolute ART
@@Destroyer2150it took that long but there were long breaks in production while the script was reworked. Riot then had to find something for the animation studio to do or lay people off so they made K/DA and other projects.
I might have to go rewatch season 1 again, there's always something to appreciate with each rewatch especially in the animation which is so wonderfully done.
Warwick is already pretty bone-chilling, I really hope he gets a scary and terrifying like introduction and can't wait for his Violent onslaught to begin in the Grey allies of Zaun🥶
I think, he won't be about only that). There are other things like remembering his past and struggling with the "beast" inside of him. I only wish they're not gonna turn him into a generic dumb evil character like Convergence did.
Also imagining his interactions with the girls. It's gonna be insane seeing his first look with Jinx and Vi. So excited because not only will we get some of the most bonechilling action, but the potential for some downright gutwrenching character writing is off the charts. So excited
I’m actually obnoxiously excited for Warwick in whatever form. We’ve seen what they can do with what were, at least originally pre-arcane, pretty one note characters in Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn, Jayce, Viktor, Etc. and make absolute archetypes and deep characters out of. I can not wait to see what this studio can do with the bloodlust, the lack of control. My mind goes to one of Warwicks voicelines in League as he’s rushing in a frenzy at a target. “In… Control!? Can’t.. Save you..!”
Jesus, take a breather before writing. I totally agree with you, but the structure of your comment was a mess. *Here's hoping you don't take offense on my petty critique.
@@paulogmf You know, I'm just happy you have the time and room in your day to even critique the structure of random youtube comments. You could have just skimmed past my comment knowing all it's saying is "I'm excited about the show", but I'm glad you didn't. I think I speak for everyone when I say we're all better off for it.
I can't imagine them showing up since Warwick will likely fill up the "monster" role in this next season, but I still want to see Zac and/or Blitzcrank so bad. I forgot what got changed in Zac lore but I love characters that were designed to be weapons and don't want to be, which may apply to Warwick but he's always depicted so feral that there's usually not as much palpable struggle. Perhaps this season will make me like warwick more.
I don't play League of Legends but I absolutely love the series, The artwork is amazing, and The animation, And the characters, it's what I would call a masterpiece
I never play or even heard League of Legends before Arcane comes out. Yet the story, character and its animation are so compelling that makes me instantly fell in love with its lore.
Same here, I knew a couple of songs but that's it, after Arcane, I immersed myself in the lore and watched the show over and over. Yes I'm a League fan now even though I never played the game
it's so cool to have my main (Singed) finally have the spotlight. I absolutely love what they did with the character in season 1, and how they managed to give him a proper personality, and deep characterization. People seem to really like Singed in Arcane and it's a really endearing thing to see, i can't wait to have more of him this upcoming season
"The man I was... I killed him first." "Can't save you all... don't want to." "The beast grows stronger." All those Voice Lines hit differently seeing this
I personally think that maybe Singed and Viktor will be the spotlight for this season. Both are brilliant but tragic geniuses the only difference is: - Singed is already driven mad by possibly grief and tragedy, created something monstrous that in his eyes is beautiful coming the depths of his sad broken soul - Viktor is on the road to madness driven possibly by betrayal, depression and confusion but he might create something beautfiul that came from the goodness of a shard of his deep inner soul. Possibly maybe Blitzcrank like in the old lore
I don’t think I’ve seen anybody mention it, or maybe they did, but THIS? This is quite possibly the second to last stage of Warwick’s transformation. People seem to forget that he only achieved what we all know and love on the rift… After death. What’s keeping me in suspense is will we see a change or a shift? I don’t wanna wait forever to see my boy as a small scene!
how can you take a human and completly change his specie like this. I'm fascinated by this world. Never played LOL but this worlds just drawns me in...
Apart from the amazing artstyle and references. I do love how the different champs know each other, and how their stories intervene with one another in a natural flow. This series shouldnt be rushed. This series should be fleshed out, explored and milked for what it is worth. It has a relatable feeling to it that I enjoy. And a horror vibe that matches the characters struggles.
I didn't expect how big he will be, from the in-game model, ww always looked small, but considering the guy who got turned into it really bulked up before his end, makes sense, why proportions are like that
@@andrjsjan4231When Warwick was reworked a few years back they released a cinematic for him. In it he chases two thieves in Zaun and kills them. Warwick looked roughly this size in that cinematic, is what Wabbajack is saying.
One of the things I wish for in Season 2 is more scenes of Vander and Vi together as a flashback and how he was training her. Honestly, I think this would be an excellent helper for their story if Vander returns in the form of WarWick.
I would enjoy that, seeing her development. One character, if hes alive still, that I want to see is Viktor. I would also like to see how the other two kids met Vander, VI, and Jinx
This TV show is an absolutely flawless masterpiece. I can't believe it made me actually download and start playing league. Can't wait for next season!!
@@MetalHardcore1000 Nope, if we read the lore of all of the characters we will see what they can bring to us and i don't think that riot and the animators will disappoint.
@@justsauce391 they have all the materials to make one of the best video game shows ever, I hope they take their time and know how special an opportunity this is!
Music box tune plays while Singed is gently touching the upper part of his watch as if there sits a picture of somebody he holds dear. Yeah Oriana is definitely his daughter.
I was devastated by the tragedy of the first season. I am excited but I’m worried my heart still isn’t ready even after the years between S1 and now S2. 😭 Also a part of me wonders if Silco would have ever allowed this to happen to his former friend (assuming this is Vander), or if Singed was doing this secretly while under Silco’s employ. Guess we’ll have to watch to find out.
I think Silco AFTER being confronted with the "you can have everything but I need jinx" proposal from Jayce would be sickened by this but I also think he commissioned the project. He told vander himself he saw vander as a lapdog to piltover and that he "will show him what he really is", and I think when Silco finally understands vander's perspective on the conflict is when he foesn't think of him as a simple lapdog anymore, but it's too late by then.
Even with their bad blood and how much Silco hated Vander in the end, he wouldn't have let Singed do this to Vander. The only reason this happened is because Silco isn't in the picture to run the streets. There is a huge power vacuum with Vander and Silco gone and Singed, on brand as usual, is seizing an opportunity with no regards to how it will affect Zaun or all of Runeterra.
having a monster creature in the show doesn't automatically make it a horror. They could literally add an army of zombies in the show but that doesn't make it a horror.
@@Chan-md2hbBut when the creature was used in a horror (or at least an anxiety inducing) cinematic and its creator is the protagonist of one of the most twisted and cruel lore pieces, it's not too farfetched to think there will be some horror in the second season
This is heartbreaking. I played WW when i started to play League. And i read his story. Then i watchet Arcane and WW became a face for me, a wonderfull Man that take care of the kids. And then an evil man like singed turned him into a monster :(
This show better not get cancelled at any point after this season. It’s literally my favourite. Seeing how much care and effort goes into this just blows me away. Even just seeing this pop up on my screen got me all pumped up!! It’s gonna be so good
I always thought Singed was a mad man, but thinking about it and the events of Arcane and of his look on this trailer, it feels like he's forced to do what he's doing now. I love it! the deep meaning of survival in this little part of Runterra. Now can we please get something from Noxus too? I can only imagine the amount of story and depth with characters like Darius and Swain.
Season 1 of Arcane was a masterpiece. 💙💗 The story, the characters, the animation, the music. So I am really excited for Season 2 of one of my favourite TV shows ever! 🙌
i am no LOL player but this stuff is amazing. Love you so much for this Anime ♥♥♥ I look always the World openings too and its so amazing and the tech behind. Dont forget the soundtracks always.
Would be cool if Riot screened Arcane in theaters. Imagine watching Season 2 with your friends in a comfy movie theater with a giant screen. The surround-sound would be pretty good given how talented Riot's audio team is.
I had some fun imagining the opening of season 2, and i made an animation of Powder(her name is powder) with Brutal by Olivia Rodrigo playing whilst she realises what she did by using the weapon
Love. Much love for Fortice. Much love for Riot. For ever single person involved in the creation of this series. Thank you so so so much ... This truly is an artistic masterpiece and while I hope there will be many more seasons to come - what we have already up until now, will always hold a special in my heart.
I was literally just thinking about Arcane before watching this. In fact, I can't stop thinking about the masterpiece that was Season 1. There's so much depth, subtlety and nuance that I find something new every time I think about it.
you guys truly created an amazing universe with great characters and lore. please keep the shows coming for decades and please bring us that MMO one day in the future. Love you thanks! :)
i cant wait for the mmo and also the fighting games it dope how they turned a MOBA into a expanded universe of lore and different genre of games a tv series Theyre doing a mmo a fighting game and also other unannounced games then you have their turn based RPG , the stardew valley type a couple mobile games im sure im missing some as well kind of crazy it all came from a MOBA
@@justinbaker2184 agreed 100%! Even like team fight tactics and mageseeker: a lol story on steam and bandletale or w/e truly amazing how much spawned from a moba! Also their cinematics are incredible! And thanks for you comment! 😊
@@madisonmccann1195 Ori was implied at the end of season 1 when Singed says "I had a daughter once" when Silco is demanding he put the crazy juice in Jinx. The implication is that Singed had a daughter but did 'anything to save her,' which resulted in losing her. The only champ that fits is Ori, who happens to be Piltover/Zaun located. There's no way it's NOT a champion, or they wouldn't have had that line in there. This scene all but confirms it. The clockwork ticking in the background, because Orianna is the Lady of Clockwork.
