‘Arcane’ Season 2 Review: One of the Best Animated Series Ever Made

There’s never been a series quite like Arcane, and there might never be again. Based on League of Legends, a wildly successful video game and esports giant with the most generic name imaginable, Arcane: League of Legends is the most expensive animated series ever produced at a total of $250 million. The first nine-episode season took six years to make; the second, an additional three. Visually, its only peer are Sony the Spider-Verse films. Dramatically, its only peer is Game of Thrones. And, tragically, it’s too good to last.
