What to Know

Critics Consensus

Expansive in scope while hurtling towards the endgame at a rollicking pace, Arcane's second and final season is a supremely satisfying capper to an epic saga.

Nic Autostraddle In true Arcane form, the visuals literally paint a sad but gorgeous image of Jinx feeling unmoored without someone to follow. Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Valerie Anne Autostraddle They really hit the ground running, and at the end of the first episode, I knew this season wasn’t going to let up. Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Rendy Jones RogerEbert.com "Arcane" continues to be the most visually stunning and dense series on television today, demonstrating why animation remains the most daring medium for creatives to convey a potent narrative. One can only hope for more stories from this vast universe. Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Austin Burke Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation Once again, Arcane proves its worth as a spectacle and one of the more impactful animated show of our time, even if it can't quite capture the magic of season one. Rated: 9/10 Nov 28, 2024 Full Review James Hanton FILMHOUNDS Magazine It is stratospheric. Rarely have the goalposts for what animation can do moved so dramatically, not only on a technical front but on an emotional one. Rated: 5 / 5 Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Frantz Jerome Black Nerd Problems There’s a consistent interplay between the relationships between characters and the real-life tensions they symbolically represent.

salah n ARCANE S2 9/10 (AMAZING BUT FLAWED) (ACT 1 9/10, ACT 2 9.5/10 & ACT 3 8.5/10) (NO SPOILERS BTW) > Arcane S2 has somehow EVEN higher heights than the 1st, at it's best it's EASILY one of the best seasons in TV, (the Viktor & Jayce plotline, EP07, Jinx Arc & a FEW others), > HOWEVER at it's worst it makes VERY confusing & mediocre writing decisions which PARTIALY damage the experience (the direction for 1st half of the finale, Mel & the rose storylines), + this season somehow MOSTLY improves on the main cast of S1, Ekko, Heimerdinger, Jayce & Viktor, Singed + few others are GREATLY improved compared to S1 with VERY compelling Arcs this season. + the peaks THIS season are EASILY in my T5 in TV so far (my definition of peaks are 9/10 or above scenes BTW, highlights) S1 had 8 - 10 OUTSTANDING moments, S2 has 12+ MINIMUM. + the Action & Visuals are stunning & somehow surpass S1 again (level of detail & nuance is GROUNDBREAKING, learn new things on EVERY watch + makes me appreciate this season EVEN more). + the emotional impact this season AGAIN surpasses the 1st there is a VERY good reason this season is 9.3/Episode on IMDB, because it successfully BROKE it's audience (ESPECIALLY E5 - 9). - the pacing is VERY bad in E8&9, too many issues to resolve in 2 Ep, Act 1&2 it was SOMEWHAT fast & questionable but Act 3 was too far, many MAJOR moments are skipped past WAY too quickly which truely made me miss the pacing of the 1st season, where it took it's time. - a FAIR few plotlines & characters felt abandoned by the writers to me Cait's arc was rushed WAY too much, Vi is overshadowed in the finale, the class conflict is ALSO overlooked in E8&9 + Mel story is BORING, it reduces the complex character in S1 into a 2D shadow of herself. IN CONCLUSION, ARCANE S2 is definitely worth a watch, it's not perfect, many issues the 1st one didn't & will lose u at times, but AT IT'S BEST it's EASILY one of the best seasons I have seen & makes me WISH it was given an extra 3 episodes (1/Act) to help iron out the issues as then it WOULD'VE surpassed the 1st one. I WOULD HIGHLY recommend it as it's probably the best of 2024 (ARCANE S2 => THE PENGUIN & SHOGUN ARCANE S2 > FALLOUT & X - MEN 97' ARCANE S2 >> INVINCIBLE & THE BOYS). Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review VIKARN V Get some hype for a fan like me, but I like SS1 more. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Andrew P Whereas Arcane S1 was like Avatar: The Last Airbender when it comes to groundbreaking and strong storytelling. S2 was like James Cameron's Avatar, still amazing and groundbreaking in it's own way, although a little weaker in some aspects and not as perfect as S1. Still, absolutely loved it and people who genuinely say this is bad TV are tripping. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Emma B Embarrassingly bad writing. The orange juice after toothpaste of writing. Finish preschool before writing a TV show. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review Dubglive G Better than season 1. Some would complain about the pacing, but it’s such a small thing to criticize. Each episode is a roller coaster. The emotional impact is unlike any show I’ve watched. The animation is the best I’ve ever seen. The story is so well written. The ending lives up to the show, unlike many other endings. Overall, my favorite show of all time. 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Audience Member Gw sebagai orang yg ngikutin lore LOL, dia ngerombak abis abisan Lore dari LOL, dari dari samping itu ini series gila banget, RIOT lu membuat Masterpiece Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
