Arcane, the animated League of Legends show on Netflix.

Oh MY GOD, every element is seriously SO mind-blowingly good. And imo its animation is at least as good as—if not better than—the Miles Morales Spiderman movies... though they did spend six years working on it tbf.

And to be clear, while I'm vaguely familiar with LoL, I've never played it so I had zero emotional connection to any of the characters before watching.

Be prepared to cry though. Like the loud, punched-in-the-gut, ugly sobbing kind of crying.

Best thing to happen to the "manic pixie dream girl" trope. When you meet Powder, she's a sweet, but traumatized, little girl. All you want to do is stand between her and the things that are hurting her so she can just grow up and be normal.

And then you see her become this hurting, angry, and above-all disturbed person who's been broken by everything she's been through, and it effing hurts. Suddenly rather than an adolescent fantasy, she's a real person you care about who's been driven to madness by circumstances she had very little control over.

Check out Blue Eye Samurai, it's got similar vibes to Arcane and is just as amazing.

Since I rate everything I watch for now a about 4 years, I can confirm. Arcane is one of 5 Series with 10 out of 10. (With 200+ rated items)

Would recommend 100%
