You like Arcane AND Hollow Knight? You got some good taste

@@brandonm1708 why do you talking about Hollow Knight?

@@brandonm1708 A fellow connoisseur, I see.

@@Antibot01 the original commenter has a Hollow Knight profile picture

I mean it's their baby essentially. They created it 13 years ago. Now imagine everyone suddenly starting to appreciate and praise your creation. It's a very very overwhelming feeling.

its so good that freak is beside t1

@@a.a677 I don't know the exact title for everyone. You understood me xD.

@Tech lmao ok sigma

Can't wait for your feature length film once the season 2 trailers drop!

Well we knew that already 😉

Highlight of the documentary imo you deserve all the praise for your analysis they’re so detailed and just r i g h t

Looking back at it now, your trailer breakdown video is actually insane

I physically jumped out of chair and wooped when I saw they included you skyen, seriously love your content man

They deserve an Oscar. All of them.

@@Antibot01 Oscar's are only for movies. Emmy is the TV version of the Oscar's

Agree.......but i want that season 2 do, and i want it as good.

I’m excited and nervous for season 2. As even though season 1 is a masterpiece a bad ending could hinder themes previously implemented in the show(Game of thrones, and to a lesser degree Attack on titan) but if anyone could create a season extremely better then it’s predecessor it’s these writers and animators.

@@Treck533 the good thing is that Arcane will probably just never end. There's not single story to tell, and they can go in as many or little detail as they want, going from character arcs to world decimating gigantic stories (like the Noxian invasions or the Ruination). There are just no ends to this, and I love it

I suppose once they get the ball rolling it's easier to keep working on the project, so I'm sure that s2 is gonna be lit. But they should do a clean finish on s2 and not milk Arcane to oblivion

Shoocharu!! suprised i saw your name looking through the comments! 😄 Much love from a Grumps/NSP fan! Keep up the great work dude 🙌

They wanted to make every possible screenshot be like a painting you can hang on your wall.

I would have missed that for sure. It does make me think that there's at least some other very minor detail I would have noticed at some point if they didn't put this level of detail into it. I have no complaints about this show. It's a work of art, frame by frame

That small handful of people that notice it makes all the effort worth it. Because they're the ones who love these minor things.

@@danielhughes3758 devil’s in the details mate. You may not notice it but your subconscious did. Cause lets be honest do you really think about how your glass is transparent and you can see objects behind it? No you take it as granted. Same works here it works towards immersion, makes the world more real

Looking at how people like to pause and disect every scene possible for lore, Easter Egg, etc... this is kinda important... They even pausing on teaser videos... so it's correct move...

I feel you!

NOT JUST ME??? 😭😭😭

IM WRITING THIS COMMENT WITH TEARS IN MY EYES

This. It's one of the most inspiring things I've seen.

Absolutely, I think I cried more seeing the Journey of the people behind it than Arcane itself. 👍

So let's wait another 5-6 years. :)

@@petrholusa5855 2-3

@@petrholusa5855 it took that long because they had to assemble the team and work through all the bugs of formatting a schedule over multiple companies. They have all that and as they mentioned they have all of season two planned out so the animatic is probably already finished, so just high quality animation and painting needs to be done which does take many hours to reach their level of excellence. id say 2024 November release or summer 2024

@@petrholusa5855 quality > quantity

@@petrholusa5855 im a year late but its hilarious that its coming out this year in November when we thought it would take longer. But we have to remember that it took them this long because they had to start from sacratch which isnt the case here anymore, they have a studio, a cast, musicians etc

same man

I was waiting for it to be finished to binge watch it is this the last episode ?

love this comment, put my own feelings in to words.

Truer words were never spoken.

totally agree with you, like when the cgi supervisor pointed out the problem with the glass shard at 19:00, i actually felt ashamed for half-assing my work.

🎯1000%

The best is that it is nod finished yet

You know this show is incredible when even the making of makes you feel something.

I just want them to not rushed the next plan season whatever it is, they deserve masterpiece

@@foxtaco hey you're here!

Thank you Thomas! There was so much passion in this story, it was inspiring just to be around these artists. Glad to hear you’re moved by it.

I'm asking myself the same question. Really struggled with tears at every moment I saw the passion all of the involved put in talking about this project. It just cuts through you like a knife.

And to think it will end in Season 2... everyone wants more... but so does every character in Arcane.

@@nonenone6704 why are you saying it will end in season 2?

@@FatRogSlim People said that they might end the story in Piltover&Zaun at season 2 and focus on other area on the next season. Which I'ld agree, 2 seasons is quite enough for one city. Let's expand and show other places in Runeterra

@@FatRogSlim read the lore

@@satitlertritsumpun8930 There's no "might end" with Piltover & Zaun. It's "will end". They said it themselves. Now in which tweet? I don't remember, but it's out there. I think it's in one Necrit's videos too 🤔.

Yeah true - noticing the shard missing behind the glass was well spotted. Such dedication!

I agree. I work in 3d art and I gotta add that rendering overlapping transparent onjects is a pain no matter what art medium you are working in

You said it as an Artist self thought i've actually been inspired after a few years of improving my Art and finding a Unique concept of my own Art style i'll like to join LOL and gain as much of experience as possible....They actually got what i'm yarning for...SOMETHING NEW AND REVOLUTIONARY!

Oh yeah, lots of geeking over everything in my circles ^^ It's amazing to see the innovative processes they went for and actually were able to apply to a big-ish production... Much respect on literally ALL the levels.

Am artist, can confirm

i rly am glad they pulled this off

As a hopeful artist yes this series truly means a lot

so true!!!

youre absolutely right. it feels like they got pros sitting behind pros, while filming them

There should be a documentary about this documentary

That was insane. It was just a glass nobody gonna point that lmao

@@fabricebalan exactly why i love that they did lol especially the people who rewatched the show more than once will appreciate those details more and more. Theres always something new to see precisely because of the perfectionists. You can watch Arcane 10 times and still find these little easter eggs or pieces of realism and it makes for a timeless classic. Arcane has become a new era of storytelling for animation and its all thanks to the people who added 1 or 2 more pixels here and there for hours on end and made sure every single item had sound. Its something that makes us inspired by their dedication

@@fabricebalan well League has a lot of fans, someone will points out the mistakes even a nuance one

Completely agree. Every frame is a screensaver.

I mean, they where dealing with the league comunity. Those people are animals, I would have been worried abot getting shot too...

Fortiche has its role but nothing would exist without him. And to think that he started as warring bug and cheating tickets. 😂 Dudes insane

I mean this Documentary is good.... but like...

Yes, its a love letter from the production team of Arcane and i hope it inspires many other animation studios to create even more masterpieces like Arcane!

daym right, never have I imagined of anticipating a sequel for a youtube clip.

The Ekko and Jinx bridge fight scene alone can define a new artform. That sequence is a masterpiece.

@@solo_alien My favorite part

@@StarrySwirly agreed, absolutely love that scene.

Honestly I admire the whole team's passion, their hard work and the whole show. It's really inspiring as a someone who's always been an art kid (+a gamer) and is at that point of life when you start really considering your career paths

Now imagine playing this game for 7 years and Finally getting a series from it.

Same

Facts💯👌🏼

Can't relate, I'm waiting very very impatiently I'm so excited. (but obviously something like this takes time so I guess it's done whenever it's done.)

The animation is truly amazing to me , you can feel and see all the emotions in the faces of the characters. Everything was good in the show , I have no bad things to say about it. You don’t even have to know anything about LoL to enjoy it. I hope season 2 will be a masterpiece as well

made me hype for season 2

"NOW we're done!" XD

I think they were actually waiting for the feedback of the director

What I expected: People jumping left and right, embracing each other. What I got: "Now, we're done."

@@Gaberaum this

Well to be fair it's not the first animated show to do that. I'm not that old but the first I can think of is Miyazaki's movies for example.

@@erwannicolas3515 dude you can’t compare the animations. Arcane is on a different level

I’d say the main thing is that Arcane has successfully threaded the needle of proving animated doesn’t equate to kids stuff by being *really* good. There have been previous works, but they’ve all tended to be really niche or of limited cultural impact; think the works of Ralph Bakshi and the Heavy Metal movies. Totally adult focused but landed and faded almost as fast as they arrived.

@@erwannicolas3515 Ghibli tried to do that for a long time and they are failed. The industry move away from 2D to 3D during that time even with influence of their movie. If there's one other movie that could the same as Arcane. It would be Spider verse not Glibli.

It's almost like they showed them. They showed them all.

Maybe they'll make another who knows I'm just so happy they made this to show how much they loved doing this

so true, as @Necrit said

I won't say separate. There are many reasons to believe that noxus not as a nation, but as a political contender will be involved in the second season. And will probably drag the third out towards noxus. From there demacia, freljord and ionia will start to get involved. On top of this, there is viktor and the void knocking on our door already, leading into just general referencing to Icathia and Shurima. Targon will then end up riding off the back end of shurima. Literally bildgewater, shadow isles, and the jungle place, are the only places that currently have no set up in the current narrative. And would be the only places that may end up feeling like separate stories

@@ospreyau2759 Yes, I'm hoping we'll naturally discover new cities, civilisations and characters, in a natural flow. A bit like Game of Thrones, where everyone ends up being interconnected in a way that would not feel forced, but motivated by common threats or conflicts.

I wanna see Lux' story next. Since playing Legends of Runeterra I started to get more into the lore and I think Lux is such an interesting character. A mage in a nation that rejects them.. must be awful to live a second life

Noxus and Ionia seems the most likely to me. There's a ton of crossover between the two and Singed is the connective tissue I feel. Edit: also I saw a video of Christian expressing that he really wants to get into ionia. So there's that too

Don’t play lol. But you can play supporting products. Ruined king rpg is pretty good and it’s fairly cheap on steam. Legends of runeterra is fair card game you don’t need to buy anything (or so I’ve heard). Honestly mate I love lol without playing lol for almost 10 years now)

Don't play lol, don't make the same mistake as us fools, don't even consider it, it's not worth the pain and suffering

​@theden5409 god go away man. LOL is a great game just play with friends casually and it's an awesome experience. It's the starting point of this great world and masterpiece of the show and many more great things to come. If you had a bad experience then go to rehab. LOL is not heroin. You make it heroin. It's a fun game millions around the world can enjoy without getting obsessed.

Perhaps its due to my longtime keeping up with hollywood/gaming industry news channels like Jim or Gundam, but I have an extremely negative perception of ceo's. So seeing them cry made me think, no wonder Arcane exists if even the people at the highest levels are so passionate, so invested.

Same Arcane became a part of me and I can’t imagine my life without it

Ur not alone my man 🤠

Not me highlighting my upper lip because Iliterally saw that in arcane and thought it was cool and pretty🤭

Totally didn't get vi at the start of the snakes fight tattood on my arm lmao

Arcane has very diverse characters that have enough depth that no matter how different they may seem to you as a person, you'll find some aspect of them very much relatable. I love it.

they worked those both seasons together so I doubt that

@@miyakothug3142 ok, you might be right, it seems they launched themselves into the second season right away, so at least a long much needed break after those 2 seasons then! (And obviously, hoping for more than 2 seasons, but only after everyone was able to cool off hopefully.)

It is common for TV productions to work on multiple seasons simultaneously. The key is that once writing finishes up the animators start working on it, and while the animation is being done writing can get started on the next part. So while animation and post-production of season 1 is in progress, writing for season 2 would also be in progress.

of course theyd work on season 2 during season 1… They dont want to dig themselves into a hole and write something in season 1 that stops them from doing things that they want in season 2. its common for this to happen lol

@@simplyepic3258 and Beerody: yeah, the fact writing for season 2 already began before they finished season 1 is good, I'm not contesting that. What I was worried about is how Christian seems to put so much pressure on himself, and how he didn't take a much needed break between the 2 seasons.

Yes! The sound in the fight scenes and any action scenes are great, and just the hextech sounds, for me, have already become iconic!

The best music / sound effects are the ones that you don't even notice. That your mind just goes "Yeah, that's what that sounds like, of course" and pays no further attention to.

I am so obsessed, I started playing Arcane on Netflix with headphones while I do dishes / go for a walk, and realized that’s one of the best ways to appreciate the immaculate sound design and soundtrack. (and voice actors, of course!)

You all made something truly amazing, I doubt it will be forgotten even long into the future. Though I wouldnt be surprised if more of it's still being made at that point.

Patiently impatient at least...

@@mortenlu i personally dont want them to rush the second season, but god i need it

@@martingomez6644 I think that's how everyones feeling

@@martingomez6644 No need for them to rush, just to not lose time, so than they can get the full quality product in the shortest time possible.

After watching the first season, the only thing I was worried that the second season might not be as good as the first one. It's hard to imagine anything being better than this. This series is just a definition of perfection in every level.

Thanks for being involved! Cheers.

Glad to see you get the deserved recognition!

I am so happy for you Dean! I was gladly surprised to see you on this.

I was proud to see you lol!

You're a legend too so they had to include you.

seeing Necrit was really a treat!

And Ross in his iPad. As soon as they showed the rolling tablets i was looking out for that goblin

Even though the depth, that necrit and Skyen went to is something completely different then Ross’ “I am silly man” bit. Just made me laugh.

i dont ike tb skyen , but necrit i respect

@@candidaserpens Why? I think at the very least his Arcane analysis videos were very informative, as this doc mentions.

Lmao right?? Love that man

The guy is such a pointdexter. But competent

just pray tencent never lay their hand on this IP

Comparing this to Peter Jackson's LoTR trilogy.... what a compliment. And ABSOLUTELY and TOTALLY deserved!

@@mfmr200 it’s funny how people like to hate tencent but they supply the funds available to make it possible. Tencent owns most game companies. They don’t intervene as what people say they do with stuff like this.

Me too)

That honestly feels really accurate. Both productions sort of had things stacked against them as far as expectations at the beginning as well. It really shows what kind of beautiful things can be made when you get a bunch of people together that genuinely care not just about the quality of the work but also the content. I feel like a lot of times its either one or the other.

I would definitely be uncomfortable standing next to him too, but if I were to stand behind him...... 😩👌

And caustic as well lol

Oh, good kind of killing. Ok

@@parisulki729 yep yep!!

I reckon after they're done in piltover/zaun they'll move to noxus. With Mel and her mom we have been introduced to the culture of noxus already, making it easier to introduce From noxus they can go to shurima, Ionia, demacia and wherever else noxus is involved, or add the void or demons like swains

You can say they are a League of Legends

I've not played LoL in ages, but Legends of Runeterra has a really fun single player mode called Path of Champions, if you like MtG-style card games.

Eh, don’t need to play the game to enjoy the lore

people still trash on league to this day man, its really sad, the game is amazing

The game isn't bad, it's a well made game, otherwise, why would it be successful? Most people who say the game is bad are people who have spent years on it and have grown accustomed to the nice aspects of it and are now sensitive to the little bits that makes the game not fun for them(even though it still is fun, they just don't care as much). The game is competitive, and losing in a competitive game that you care about hurts, but you want to win because winning feels so great. People can be obsessed with this. Generally, veteran league players say the game is bad because they either don't want you play the game & risk getting addicted to its dopamine feedback loop of losing & winning, or they just want to vent their bottled frustrations of losses in their games. Edit: I'd like to add that one of the frustrations that come from this game is from the players themselves. Most players are ok, and some are loud-mouth, obnoxious, toxic players. It's online so anonymity makes these toxic behavior worse. Other than that, game is fantastic for me, loved it to my core. Just be careful when you try it and you start having too much fun. It can be addicting.
