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.
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.
Fern and Stark are technically in the 18-20 age range though. And fairly teenage-y. But I agree it does explore a lot of more "mature" themes.
I'll always recommend Venture Bros. and Futurama. Especially the first 4 seasons.
That's strange. I'd be interested to know how and what you searched for so I can maybe improve how easy it is for people to find !animation@lemm.ee.
I've been watching Lastman and am about halfway through season 1. It's a french animated show directed by Jérémie Périn who also directed Mars Express. I was inspired by watching that film to check out more work by the director. So far it's really fun. They are short 12-13 min episodes with a lot of swag (for lack of a better term). Great direction as expected and genuinely funny too. I think it's an awesome example of how to do lower budget animation that still looks really good.
Please feel free to share it here when you do!
One of my all time favourite animated films! I'm sad I only got around to finally watching it a few years ago.
Thanks for posting @Blaze@sopuli.xyz but I'm going to remove this as it's a duplicate of this existing post.
Agreed. Porco Rosso is top tier.
I watched Sirocco and the Kingdom of the Winds over the weekend and it's a beautifully made film with stunning art and music. The director was apparently inspired by Miyazaki films and Yellow Submarine and it shows in the fun plot and trippy visuals. Like most great kids films, I'd recommend this to adults as well because of how it deals with themes of family, love, and empathy.
I'll admit the hype from the season 2 trailer got to me. I've been rewatching Arcane season 1 and it's just as amazing as I remember.
