I've never even played League of Legends and I'm absolutely obsessed with this show and its characters. Its genuinely beautiful. The animation. The story. The music. Everything.
We’re happy to hear that. We were a bit unsure of how it was going to be received, since we’re not very well versed with the Game and its lore.. -Nekko
you all should add hashtags to help with algorithm. season 2 will be out later this year and i imagine more peeps will be looking up react videos for season 1 :P
There's no assumed knowledge. There's little Easter eggs like for instance when we first meet benzo he's examining what looks like a turtle shell with gold accents. That is an ollllld item called "heart of gold". In this episode there are only three main characters league players will know easily: Vi, Powder and Ekko. Also the game itself has no story telling in it. It's a top down combat Moba. Trust me when I say we learned as much as you about VI and Powder this episode as you did.
I finished the series not long ago, so I'll jump into your reaction now ^^ I just wanted to clarify, and sorry if that was said in comment on another video, but it is not Riot who made the series, they are the producer. The series is made by the French studio "Fortiche production". They are already responsible for the clips associated with LoL such as K/DA or even the clip "Freak of the week" for the metal band Freak Kitchen (whose directing was made by Juanjo Guarnido, the author of the comic book Blacksad and formerly from Disney Montreuil (France)). I'm french, so allow me to be a little proud of my country for once ^^.
"this kid reminds me of junkrat" Me: this is actually the story of junkrat and roadhog before they -respawned- went to overwatch. edit: very late advise but, it would be better to watch this without trying to think of the game, especially if you have little knowledge of the lore. It was made for people who go in blind, and the people who know the lore get the same experience but have a few easter eggs here and there that are not crucial to the story, except for the major spoiler on who lives because they're champions. Trying to waste every second of the show trying to think of what part of the game this is will only make you lose focus.
I need a Junkrat skin with his voicelines now…. 🤣 Yeah, we just take now every episode at face value, and whatever else we say about the game, is mostly random jokes from the 2nd episode on. We’re enjoying every little bit of this show. -Nekko
The song is by Bea Miller and "the playground" simply refers to the Undercity of Zaun where the main characters live in general.(Which is a polluted, crime-infested, impoverished, chaotic wasteland where only the strong survive and drugs and toxic chemicals flow freely but also a place of great economic opportunity and chance for wild, illicit pleasures, destructive 'fun' and sexual freedoms not generally enjoyed by Topsiders).
No way... I played vainglory as well 😂 I havent played any LoL and have no clue about anything as well, but this is just amazing i every way. Already 100% invested after not even 1 episode
There’s so much more out of us in the rest of the episodes… While watching this one, we were kind of conflicted on the idea that we may be lost due to not knowing anything about League of Legends. But we then realize that your dont need it, and starts absorbing the rest way better.
Calling the Golden Heart "worthless junk" (17:31) upsets me. Now, I know you haven't played lol, so you don't know the items. Still, I am very upset. Plus, it is an old item that has been removed from the game, which saddens me deeply.

That’s really good to know! I couldn’t shake the feeling that I might have been missing a ton of lore. Thanks for letting me know!

there is also Singed the mad alchemist on this episode
that cop character (grayson) is absolutely a woman, and she's pretty famous for her voice. she's been in shows like 24 and the expanse

@@TheWeebsCloset "was" sad days man. Sad days.
"5 years ago when league had only 30 characters"
I got some bad news for you hahaha it's been a little longer
The dead couple at the beginning were Powder and Vi`s parents.
The only time the guy on the left showed any reaction was when he was laughing at his own jokes.
Better not to react than to fake a reaction 🤷🏻 found the first episode slow. Watch the others though!

sorry for the spoiler, but the characters available on LoL are the ones who are still alive
You're MUCH better off not knowing anything about the game, because you won't get spoiled on anything.
couldnt give a fuck bout league of legends but this show is the best ive watched in a while
SHEEESH
Arcane is basically just an Anime adaption of LoL lore that have nothing to do with actual game.
