2022-12-24 21:50:03 +0000 UTCYeah, just seems like a weird personal hangup rather than anything substantive

2022-12-07 07:48:08 +0000 UTCToday was very long and something about that "yes you" opening was very good. Excellent little hit of dopamine.

2022-11-29 01:48:29 +0000 UTC/K.N. I should easily be able to contrast and compare how characters deal with trama and loss.
Mastervodo
2022-11-29 00:21:42 +0000 UTCI would agree to disagree Smoke. The show has overwhelming positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, it's swept practically every award it's been nominated for, and is undeniably an evolution in animation. What's stopping it from clearing this bar? What sort of impersonal standard is it not meeting?

2022-11-28 20:19:53 +0000 UTC@Yani Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a very graphic, violent, and gory anime set in a dystopian future where giant corporations pretty much run everything, poverty and crime are rampant, and everything is generally terrible; lol. Cybernetic alterations to the human body are commonplace; people will replace their arms and legs with cyberware prosthetics, have chip slots in their skulls where they can input software to learn martial arts Matrix style. It's based off of a Pen & Paper game similar to Dungeons & Dragons, and a videogame that recently came out called Cyberpunk 2077. The show so far (I've only been able to watch one episode with all the holiday madness lol), seems to be about a young poor kid who is struggling to make it in this dystopian world. @ Myles Yea, I hear that a lot that people who were into the game didn't enjoy it as much who just found the series on it's own. That's why I'm hoping that giving it a second viewing now after so much time, and having Nat's commentary along with it will help me appreciate it a bit more. It's definitely a decent show in general, and I bet Nat will enjoy it a lot. I just didn't think it was quite deserving of so many people hyping it up hardcore calling it some sort of masterpiece. It's good, but it's not THAT good. Geez. lol. Sorta like James Cameron's Avatar. Sure it was incredibly pretty, and a fun watch. But holy shit did people go crazy for that movie, when many aspects of it were just really really lame. Like, come on, you're gonna name the precious metal you want to obtain "Unobtainium".... o_O...... *facepalms so effin hard. Even aside from that the story itself was very basic.

2022-11-27 18:18:17 +0000 UTCPlease watch Doctor Who after Arcane is finished. π€©
Jonathan Wiking
2022-11-27 16:17:08 +0000 UTCThis show and the video game have almost nothing to do with one another. I had no idea what League of Legends was and absolutley adored this show.
Myles Away
2022-11-27 01:14:26 +0000 UTCYeah, I've never been a part of the league community, but I hear it can be pretty bad. I hope you enjoy it on second viewing! I keep hearing people mention Edgerunner, might have to check it out soon! What's the premise?
Yani Dodge
2022-11-26 16:09:20 +0000 UTCAlso Bridging the Rift! The have a whole episode talking about the storyboarding, animation, and compositing. As an animator, it's mind-blowingly good π
Yani Dodge
2022-11-26 16:07:03 +0000 UTCWasn't a big fan of this my first time watching, but I'm a bit bias against the League of Legends community in general. Gonna wait until Nat finishes so I can binge it in a day with her commentary and see if that along with a second viewing gives me "fresh eyes" on it. In the meantime, I hope Cyberpunk: Edgerunners makes it on the poll for next animated series! Looks incredible so far, and nothing but super positive reviews from what I've seen.
SmokeAndACoffee
2022-11-26 14:15:58 +0000 UTCThe Expanse is six seasons and is Excellent. The animation for Arcane is very unique in that it's a mix of 3D animation and hand coloured animation. The characters and the objects in the environment are computer generated but the colouring/shading/lighting aspects are all done by hand. It's a truly gorgeous piece of work. You can find out more about it on the Corridor Crew channel on Youtube, but don't watch THAT until you're done the series or you'll hit ALL the spoilers. And as far as I know it has nothing to do with the actual League Of Legends game other than the characters. But then I never played the game so I can't be sure. But I do know the story is excellent and there will be parts that will be scary and there will be parts where you'll want to keep tissues handy. Saying any more wold be spoiling.

2022-11-26 04:58:41 +0000 UTCThat was fun to watch again.
Powers209
2022-11-26 02:26:54 +0000 UTCS2 hasnt actually began development yet. Its probably not coming out until late 2023 or early 2024. Its a really good first season of TV
Joshua Kon
2022-11-25 23:45:14 +0000 UTCInvincible is a good cartoon animated tv show. The second season is coming any day now
devin flynn
2022-11-25 23:44:07 +0000 UTCIt doesnt need to happen that way. The show is more than strong enough to watch one by one.
Joshua Kon
2022-11-25 21:45:25 +0000 UTCI had my fingers crossed that we'd get 1-3 right away but I don't think she was ever clued into that method.
Myles Away
2022-11-25 20:19:06 +0000 UTCMastervodo, thank you. I can't wait to read your comparisons between Arcane and Euphoria S2.
K.N.
2022-11-25 17:27:02 +0000 UTC@Mastervodo it is an Easter egg but they mention it later in the series so... #spoilers :)
Yani Dodge
2022-11-25 17:14:54 +0000 UTCI hate imagine dragons
Thomas Richter
2022-11-25 17:00:39 +0000 UTCI thought you were leaving for a month,no?
Boomcity
2022-11-25 16:48:24 +0000 UTCI feel like this episode is the weakest, but I'm so excited for more! Wonderful as always!
Jess E
2022-11-25 14:16:44 +0000 UTC'choice in licenced music' is a bit misleading, the whole soundtrack was created for the show and in most cases as a collaboration between Riot and the music artists
Rich House
2022-11-25 10:07:54 +0000 UTCBit early in the season to be dropping any lore/game knowledge in the comments I would think
Rich House
2022-11-25 10:04:02 +0000 UTCGreat reaction as always, can't wait for more!
Smoolio
2022-11-25 09:25:03 +0000 UTCfun fact, Vi is voiced by Hailee Steinfeld (Kate Bishop from Hawkeye)!! also big yikes, i do remember that troll lmao. they were everywhereee on your Patreon, but i'm glad they didn't put you off from watching the show! i can't wait for you to get further in :)
alejandro
2022-11-25 07:09:03 +0000 UTCThis show is so insanely good. I cannot wait to watch you react to this!!!
Josh Schwarzbauer
2022-11-25 06:31:49 +0000 UTCI didn't think this day would come but Natalie is finally reacting to Arcane. I joined Patreon again just for this amazing series. I hope you enjoy it!
xanderman
2022-11-25 06:20:47 +0000 UTCEven League players know our game is toxic lol, but Arcane is a whole other thing from the game. Its definitely not a requirement and adds very little. Its just cool to see characters we've played come to life. I really hope you enjoy this! Its so good!
John
2022-11-25 05:20:30 +0000 UTCMind dropping a time code where it was? I'll take a look.
Logan Kerlee
2022-11-25 04:48:24 +0000 UTC/Logan I thought the cupcake thing was something to do with the game, like an Easter Egg for the gamer fans.
Mastervodo
2022-11-25 04:45:20 +0000 UTCEr, why are you asking me?
Logan Kerlee
2022-11-25 04:22:54 +0000 UTCso happy you're enjoying it so far, and yea the music is phenomenal in this series, both the score and the choice in licenced music, it all fits so well, cant wait to see your reactions for the rest of the series
Tesh
2022-11-25 02:32:24 +0000 UTCRiot music team really flexing their composing skills, also doesn't hurt having Ray Chen as your violin soloist
Rich House
2022-11-25 02:28:17 +0000 UTCThe reason you're getting emotional is the SCOREEE
adrianR31
2022-11-25 02:11:22 +0000 UTCThink about it as a Movies using animation as a medium. The first thing that hit me when I watch it, is the use of focus and lighting for an animation. Arcane was release in blocks of 3 episode, so most the question you have in the 1st are gonna be answer by the 3rd one.
Daniel Vezina
2022-11-25 02:10:07 +0000 UTCYou don't even need to know this is based on league of legends to enjoy it. It's incredible
adrianR31
2022-11-25 02:04:30 +0000 UTCCan you explain the cupcake thing Logan?
Mastervodo
2022-11-25 01:58:12 +0000 UTCHappy Thanksgiving! Very much looking forward to re-watching this show. I love this animation style and am hoping to see more studios do this in the future. Great reaction as always!
Riolkin
2022-11-25 01:49:20 +0000 UTCHappy thursday Nat! I've been waiting for your reaction since I watched this show. Enjoy!!
Laurie
2022-11-25 00:57:05 +0000 UTChappy thanksgiving! LOVE this show, its criminal how long we have to wait until season 2
Trinity Davis
2022-11-25 00:52:50 +0000 UTCThis episode is the long line to the roller coaster. You meet all the people you are going to ride with. You get the setup and anticipation. It ends when that lap bar comes down and you are locked in. Get ready because the fun is about to begin.
Wild_Lee_Coyote
2022-11-25 00:45:07 +0000 UTCI think one of the best things the creators did for the show are the facial animations, they convey so much with just facial expressions. I donβt think any animation from any continent has ever done facial animations so well.

2022-11-25 00:13:04 +0000 UTCThis episode isn't the usual. It gets much, much better. Hope you're still here for it!
pedantech
2022-11-24 23:58:02 +0000 UTCGlad youβre enjoying the show, Nat! One of the things I liked most about it is the animation in this show is so similar to that of Star Wars: The Clone Wars! Another fantastic animated show that has some of the best character development/story progression/animation in general, that Iβve ever seen! Really hope you get around to checking it out ππ
Daniel McGuinness
2022-11-24 23:34:15 +0000 UTClol, she saw it onscreen but yeah, she had a feeling. :)
Logan Kerlee
2022-11-24 22:49:50 +0000 UTCGlad that you enjoyed the first EPISODE! xD Not season. :P hahaha I'm watching this for the first time as well, but I've played the game for many years now so I've got a lot of the back knowledge that you don't with many of the characters that may (or may not) be included. If this first episode is going to be the usual then I'm here for it. This was a lot of fun for me to watch. :)
Logan Kerlee
2022-11-24 22:46:28 +0000 UTCCalling me a golden retriever was way more cringey than calling me a cutie lol
Travis
2022-11-24 22:32:35 +0000 UTCThank you for reacting to this. I hope you continue to enjoy the show. Avoid spoilers and hang on for a ride. The art is as amazing as the music. The voice acting never ceases to amaze me.
Jim Gooch
2022-11-24 22:10:09 +0000 UTCTo be fair, Arcane *is* the show to compare to all other animated mediums. Between Last Airbender and this, there is no more animated shows worth watching if I'm being honest; they just won't compare to the writing, animation, and audio/music quality of these two shows.
Cuttlefish
2022-11-24 21:33:44 +0000 UTCVery promising! The opening were a bit confusing but music and visuals were amazing
Danishprince
2022-11-24 20:33:39 +0000 UTCseasons?? think u mean episodes lol season 2 coming out soon though :D
Simon Bauer
2022-11-24 20:31:46 +0000 UTCBeing very careful!
Mastervodo
2022-11-24 20:05:29 +0000 UTCYeah! :D
Yani Dodge
2022-11-24 20:04:12 +0000 UTCI am sooo excited! :D What did you think of the first episode?
Yani Dodge
2022-11-24 20:03:24 +0000 UTCI agree, the music is incredible! Be careful with giving too much away though! :)
Yani Dodge
2022-11-24 20:03:06 +0000 UTCI think the air is toxic to a good extent, the people down there just have to deal with it though :(
Yani Dodge
2022-11-24 20:02:25 +0000 UTCThat dedication to spite gave me a good lol
Myles Away
2022-11-24 19:53:31 +0000 UTCHave you listened to any of the song in the soundtrack D.L? If not - check out "Goodbye" by Ramsey, "Guns for Hire" by Woodkid, "What could have been" by Sting. Those are my top 3. But every single song on the soundtrack is good.
Mastervodo
2022-11-24 19:45:36 +0000 UTCI swear I will make it a mission in my life to compare every other series to Arcane in the comments just for you.
Mastervodo
2022-11-24 19:41:30 +0000 UTCThis show came out of nowhere for me. I don't follow League of Legends, don't know any of the characters, but this show is a great introduction. I'm excited to see where it goes in future seasons. But everything hits in this series; the VA, the animation and art direction, the sound design and music are all top tier. You could tell the people in charge took a lot of pride in their work. A couple of things you may or may not know: The season is broken into three acts of three episodes each. And the layout of Piltover and the "undercity." I've seen confusion from other reactors and was even a little confused myself, but it's all built on a hill. So "topside" is the upper portion and where all the rich and influential live, and the "undercity" is the lower portion...where all the trash and filth (figuratively and literally) from topside gets dumped. And yes, the enforcers wear the masks because, to them, the air is dirty.
Tony Sanson
2022-11-24 19:07:07 +0000 UTCNot only is the show great, but the added benefit of never having to hear about it again in the comments makes this doubly great!
K.N.
2022-11-24 18:59:12 +0000 UTCI am so excited to watch this! I have waited forever. Whooo!
Isaiah Mesa
2022-11-24 18:37:54 +0000 UTCWe have finally arrived! I bet all the Arcane fans must be so happy right now :D - I have waited on this show until you got around to do a reaction so it's time to see what it is like <3
Danishprince
2022-11-24 18:37:04 +0000 UTCHappy Thanksgiving!, very excited for this \o/
john takacs
2022-11-24 18:15:50 +0000 UTCThe music in this show is A+. The title of this episode, (Welcome to the Playground) fits the midway song "Playground" which introduces Zaun is so great! It oozes. The song oozes. Gives you this sleazy vibe. Like the undercity... it's Piltover's runoff. It's a smoky, sleazy dive bar that only the locals know. I really hope Nat focuses on the music for this series. Especially the ones in the end credits. With the climax being Sting's "What Could Have Been".
Mastervodo
2022-11-24 18:15:32 +0000 UTCHappy Thanksgiving!!!!!!

I'm not American but I'm thankful you are watching Arcane today π Looking forward to watching this show with you and seeing what it's all about. Wow. Looking like a great show. An interesting set-up. You weren't the only one getting emotional at the start Nat. That music! Looking forward to watching the next one with you next week. Thanks for a great video today Nat. P.S. Saw your new merch over on your store and it's so cute, I love it, but please tell me you spotted and corrected the spelling error on the back of your new shirts ππ
