History YMMV / Arcane

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: And how! Arcane features prominent artists such as Music/ImagineDragons and Bea Miller. And that's without mentioning the absolutely phenomenal soundtrack.

* EpilepticTrees: In spite [[spoiler:Vander's onscreen death]] from Episode 3, those whom are familiar with the ''League of Legends'' lore are already theorizing (in various ways) how [[spoiler:Vander is potentially Warwick]].

* TearJerker: The very opening three minutes set a clear tone as to the bleak and emotional tone as a young Vi and Powder walk through the ruins of their hometown, with Powder softly singing to herself whilst covering her eyes[[note]]presumably at Vi's request to shield Powder's innocence[[/note]]. It's only upon finding the bodies of her parents that Vi completely ''crumbles'',

** [[spoiler:And then in episode three, in her desperation to help Vi and friends and despair at being left behind before the rescue mission, she winds up causing ''massive'' collateral damage through a hex crystal-imbued explosive monkey, leading to the deaths of everyone in the gang except Vi.]]

It's only upon finding the bodies of her parents that Vi completely ''crumbles'',

* TearJerker: The very opening to Episode 1 sets a clear tone as to the bleak and emotional tone of the narrative, as a young Vi and Powder walking through the ruins of their hometown with Powder softly singing to herself whilst covering her eyes[[note]](presumably at Vi's request to shield Powder from the violence)[[/note]].

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Did Vander relent out of guilt when [[spoiler: strangling Silco for the second time, or did he run out of strength after being stabbed?]]

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Hooray, an animated ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' series! That means it's got to be just as cartoonishly cute and silly as the original game, right? ''WRONG''. Despite the show stemming from a rated teen IP, the series itself is rated 16+ for [[DarkerAndEdgier violence and some particularly brutal sequences]].

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: With the recent controversy surrounding League's lackluster ''Sentinels of Light'' event and Hollywood's general aversion to [[VideoGameMoviesSuck video game adaptions]], there were doubts from both fans and non-fans alike that Arcane would be able to succeed. However, since the premiere of Act 1, both League fans and non-fans agree that Riot knocked it out of the park, with some even calling it Riot Games's MagnumOpus; As of November 8, Arcane currently sits at the [[https://flixpatrol.com/title/arcane/ Top 1 TV show spot]] in ''38 countries''.

* HoYay: Jayce and Viktor sometimes have a few moments that make them come off more like a married couple than a pair of visionary scientists working together. It's particularly egregious in episode 3, where Viktor off-handedly tries to pass off his attempt at breaking into [[spoiler:Heimerdinger's lab]] as mistaking it for ''his bedroom''. In the middle of the night. While Jayce is standing right next to him.

* HarsherInHindsight: Up to the release of Arcane, ''many'' fans speculated that Silco was, in fact, a younger Singed due to his [[MadScientist occupation,]] emphasized eye design and similar builds. After the release of the show, it turns out this isn't the case, but Singed ''is'' his close partner in science work.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The animation is nothing short of ''breathtaking''. Drawing from the painterly style of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' and the hand drawn elements of ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheMitchellsVsTheMachines''.
