On Anime
While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.
This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.
On Technical Discussion
While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome.

Oh man, I'm so excited! I really like that they're continuing to keep the fates of the people in the council hidden.
"The Arcane is waking up" is hype. I wonder what that means for the story of S2.
Is the arcane linked to the V***? I don't really know LoL lore but a YT comment kinda spoiled some things in that regard.
I think the most obvious part they showed (which very much could be a red herring), was that Mel's mom would seize the opportunity of that power vacuum to potentially take over. She was already interested in hex tech weapons and tried to play Jayce.
I'm not sure about what the arcane would be linked to. I don't know League lore. About Mel's mom, I think her taking power was setup near the end of Season 1, but it's interesting to consider that it might be a red herring. I think Arcane's world and storytelling are nuanced enough that's it's not just going to be a straightfoward Zaun vs Piltover vs Noxus. There's probably going to be a lot more subtlety in the conflicts that the arcane is going to play a part in.
The whole war thing is likely just the surface level stuff, while the teasing arcane things in the trailer are what happens kinda in the background and what's actually important. We'll see. With how story heavy Arcane is, I doubt the obvious interpretation is what season 2 will be about.
