“Arcane does a fantastic job of introducing new fans to Runeterra while letting old ones get to experience a deeper dive into the world they have spent so much time with.”
Season one aired in 2021, meaning that fans have waited a while for the return of some of these characters. This wait is further impacted by the climatic moment the series left us on with Jinx making a major decision that changes the course of her trajectory. With a blend of animation styles and strong worldbuilding, the series amassed a strong group of followers — both fans from the original game and newcomers alike. As Netflix continues to push the boundaries of it’s animation Arcane’s popularity remains unchanged.
