Review Arcance

This show is hands down the best I've watched this year! I'm really looking forward to season 2! 

There are so many things that make this an amazing show: 

Animation and visuals are beautiful, from the cities to the characters. What I especially enjoyed was how expressive the characters are. Many shows rely on speaking information outload to get it across to the audience- Arcane doesn't do that. It can communicate everything it needs to through it's characters facial expressions and their body language thought scenes. 

The action is enjoyable, it never felt over the top or boring. The action is pretty unique for each fighting scene and always hits the right note.

Character development is impressive for every single major character. Many of the characters are morally grey in a realistic way. Most shows are lucky to get a few characters that go through good character development arcs- in Arcane we get to see all the main characters develop and it's never forced or unrealistic. 

My personal favorite characters were: Silco, Jinx, and Viktor. Silco is a realistic and morally grey antagonist that is not so cut and dry. He has genuine development of his own in addition to facilitating the development of other characters. Jinx is a wonderfully entertaining character that navigates what it means to become a new person. Viktor is a heartfelt and self-made scientist who aspires to do good. 

The soundtrack is perfect! The music is the icing on the cake. It's only used to enhance the scenes and isn't overly relied on. 

The story has a wonderful mix of entertainment, humor, and heart wrenching moments that fit really well together. 

Overall, I highly recommend watching!
