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.

Audience Member Is a disappointment compared to the first season. for lark of a better word this season is "trash". I am glad they are not coming back for season 3, with so much potential from all the characters in the game, and the best they could come up with is this, then they definitely don't deserve to be on my screen Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review John K Whilst the first season had only one bad plot progression moment (the water tower scene with vi and jinx and how echo ruined the touching moment for no apparent reason.) at least the show writers had a reason to right that moment in (to progress the story to the point that it is at at the end of the season) and in my mind, they can get away with it since the story lead smoothly into the lore of the games and somewhat made sense for the overall tone of the show, however, the second seasons' story as a whole is objectively senseless, and I'm baffled that reviewers and critics didn't pick up on it. The season does a good job at getting rid of the insanity that caused jinx to do the things she did in season 1, however, rather than actually mending the trauma and fixing the sisters relationship in a touching, logical way (like they could have done in the water tower scene in season 1) the show writers instead opt to completely ignore the trauma between them and show them arguing and bickering like two siblings who were just temporarily fighting and didn't have extremely traumatic and life changing events happen to them. Even if you try and ignore the obviously stupid way the sisters reunited, it still doesn't make the story make sense, the ending to the show (whilst admittedly would've been touching and meaningful) completely disregards the tone that the first season has, and although we didn't get a clear answer to whether powder is dead or not, the ending remains stupid for two major reasons, #1 it ends the show in a major sacrifice/suicide, with jinx saying "ill always be with you sis" despite not clearing up there traumatic past to a point that would justify this statement let alone this action. and #2 if they did keep her alive, there is no reason to leave it on a cliffhanger since there will not be another season, and from what we saw the grenade is capable of there is no way that she is alive anyway. Overall i would consider season 1 to be the definitive "Arcane: league of legends" and season 2 to be more of a directors cut for fun, since there is just no way to ignore the stupidity in the overall plot of the second season, it is very disappointing because for the first half of the show or so they actually wrote the mending of jinx's trauma pretty well, its only after jinx and vi meet again to ally with each other that the show descends into ignorance and senselessness. I will say though, e 1,2,3, and 4 were nearly perfect and a great example of what the show could've been, they just shoved what should've been the rest of the show into e5 and then wasted everyone's time afterwards. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Rob M This season doesn't disappoint. As amazing as the first. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Juan Sebastian M I dont remenber the Last time a serie make feel this Way, was absolutely a Master piece Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Jonas R Out of order second season that renders close to perfect season 1 almost worthless.. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Jake B If there is one show you must see its this one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
