The first season of “Arcane” received widespread praise for its animation, story, world-building, action sequences, characters, emotional charge, sound, and voice acting.

Arcane Synopsis

The story takes place in the cities of Piltover and Zaun. Although Arcane focuses solely on these two cities, they are part of the world of Runeterra. Piltover is the academic, scientific and wealthy city, while Zaun is the complete opposite, with suburbs full of crime, poverty and infested with toxic chemicals, where there is no authority whatsoever. The tensions and rivalries that exist between these two cities divide families and friends, as in the case of Vi and Powder, two Zaunite sisters; or Jayce and Viktor, two inventor friends and apprentices of the legendary scientist Heimerdinger. All these relationships will overflow with the creation of Hextech in Piltover, a technology with which anyone can control magical energy, while in Zaun a new drug transforms humans into monsters.
