Watching this and sometimes jumping to the youtube vid to see the editor's takes is peak. 10/10 commentary. Whoever you chose to edit this knows this show well haha. Amazing reaction man! 100% worth the 10 bucks. Can't wait to sink my teeth in the rest of your reactions to this masterpiece of a show🙏💙 thanks for watching this(uωu 人)

7:20 From what i hear? No. The game is not worth your sanity apparently. XD never played it myself tbh but each youtuber i watched that suggested this immediately had like a gazillion comments telling them to "omg whatever you do pls dont ever play this game"😂😂

Noa Almanzan

You’re absolutely correct

Andrew Freeman

I’m attempting to watch this for the third time instead of watching midsommer. I’m sure this is good but it hasn’t been able to hold my attention the last two times I tried to watch this. The last time i got a good idea of the episode but I defiantly need to get though the episode and hold my attention on it to get the charecters established.

MP36BRAVO

It is the reason I almost didn't watch this gem.

Syed Ali Rizwan

I recognized her from Expanse

Alex

It's genuinely funny how everyone who watched Arcane asked themselves if they should play LoL, and the reaction of the community is always negative.

Alex

All the music in Arcane is original. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all songs that appear are written for the show.

Ava

After seeing you’ve posted this reaction, I’ve never subscribed faster! Arcane is one of my favourite shows so I’m excited to hear your thoughts!

Kyra Sharp

That actress was in Grimm, but she's been in lots of stuff.

Kyra Sharp

I immediately thought of Butcher too. There's a little or a lot of Butcher in all of us.

scwyd

this will be awesome

Robytcz73

For your own sake. Never play League of Legends. You'll regret it.

James Kroeger

Considering later events of the show calling claggor cupcake is insane

Jacqueline V

I asked like 20 times, I'm so happy you're finally watching it

Cory

Perhaps rewatching with Alex might spark a new appreciation for this show I didn’t have before lol

Cory

I personally didn’t love the show as much as many others do, BUT I’m definitely looking forward to these reactions!

Cory

Your original comment was you talking shit, then when someone responds you try gaslighting “you proved my point!”. Don’t act like others are the asshole for responding to your asshole comment 😂

David Hunter

So excited that you're starting this show up! I discovered it via online word of mouth and I went in totally blind but it quickly became apparent how awesome it was (to the point I got the art book off Amazon after S2).

Niels

Okay 2 things. 1. All music on the soundtrack from Arcane S1 & S2 are made FOR this show. Enemy by Imagine Dragons was written for this show as well. Imagine Dragons did another song (Warriors) with Riot Games for the World Championship Anthem a few years back. 2. As for the game League of Legends. Its funny to see everyone hate on it this much, and warning others to not start playing it. It is a fun game to play, especially with friends. The reason everyone tells you not to play is basically the "toxicity" in the game itself. This game is a lot of fun, as long as you don't take it too seriously with "Grinding Ranked Games". There is also a mute all option which people seem to forget. There is another option. Riot Games created a sort of board game based on League of Legends called "Teamfight Tactics". This is a lot of fun to play and pretty easy and fun to get used to. Glad to see you finally started your Arcane journey! :D

“Matches my humor “ ohh boy …

Parker Seils

LETS GOOOOO!!! So hyped we’re getting to Arcane now!

Trigo

Yes Alex do not touch that stuff, is evil 😅

Nightmareman99

The officer chick who you recognized the voice of is Shohreh Aghdashloo she’s agent madani’s mother in the punisher

Ana

Daddy silco at the end I’m on my knees😩 lol

Luca Storminger

The woman playing the main enforcer is also in The Penguin as the wife of Maroni and she's also one of the leads in The Expanse (highly recommend if you haven't watched it yet, the best scifi show out there in my opinion)

Luca Storminger

No Alex DO NOT play League of Legends. Trying LoL after watching Arcane is like trying meth after watching Breaking Bad, trust me just don't lmao

Lukcy

YOOO WHEN TF DID ARCANE WIN A POLL SIIIIIICK

Oliver

Absolute bangers in this show 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Shandie H

I can't tell you how happy I am that you are FINALLY watching this. It's just gonna get better and better and better. This show left me in a chokehold for soooo long, still dose. No wonder it took them YEAR to make this.

RandomAndysChannel

These comments are further proof how toxic yall are. Any other post about anything else and there would be no toxi comments like this.

Ana

Soundtrack goes so hard

Oscar A

i hope ur nan chokes on lego

Ana

Let’s gooooooooo

Kim Ross Jensen

U dont need to play League to enjoy this, actually, save your self, dont touch League, its more addictive then crack.. There is only 1 thing u need to know, Riot Games, takes an already astablished thing, and makes it better then it ever was, that's what they do. Arcane Season 2, is the only series ever, with a rating of 9/10 on every epside on IMDB

Thunder⚡️

I haven't been this hyped for a reaction series since you started the boys

dooba dooba

It's a dense show, so I would watch it yourself first

Destany Johnson

I have played league. I enjoy the game itself. However you gotta have a tight knit group to play it well. It's very strategic and team/role based. If one person falters, it could cost the game. And most of the people who play regularly, do NOT leave room for mess ups. The internet trolls SWARM league I stg.

Weirdchamp

FINALLYYYYY!!!! This show has CONSUMED my being since season 2 ended. It single handedly got me into writing and I will forever be shouting its praises from the rooftops.

xSimplyBlu

oh btw the actor of that deep voiced enforcer is the same actor for Salvatore Maronnie's wife in The Penguin

Peppa

OMG ITS HAPPENING

Agus Mercado

THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!

Tim

Oh fuck yes

Down D. Stairs

YESS DINALLY

James Skates

Definitely if u wanna catch all the little details by yourself, but I'm sure watching with Alex will be just as fun 👍

Oliver

nope that Imagine Dragons song in the intro is written for this show, so is every other song that will come

Sneaky Haines

Don't watch these videos if you don't like arcane then, no ones looking to argue with you.

dakota

Should I watch the show by myself first

Lukas Weimar

Unnecessary provocation

David Ivaškovič

I love how at the beginning Alex thought this was a light hearted humorous type of show, while it is in fact, the complete opposite. Edit: do NOT play League

David Ivaškovič

Here we fuckin go

Oscar A

omg finally arcane, it's all over the screen now

RandomAndysChannel

And starts the toxic Fandom of arcane. Can't wait for this series to be over in a month

Sneaky Haines

Don't worry Alex, you don't need to know anything about league to enjoy this.

pellaeon

Absolutely peak show. NEVER play league 😭

BuddyBoy

This is the greatest thing to ever come across my eyes! Don't play the game 🙅🏽

fadyq1326y1

So, at the beginning of this reaction, you asked if you should play league. Under no circumstance should you ever do so, just forget the game exists.

Arkadiusz Bień

On top of your very early question. "Enemy" by Imagine Dragons was created just for this show.

Joovain

I've never seen this so watching this with you is SO AMAZING!!!!!!!

Arkadiusz Bień

Arcane was the second animated series that made me cry. Especially first season is so complex and it sticks to the ground with the plot.

Mandy Sherratt

Yaaaay!!

eseannn

Alex you NEED to watch Attack on Titan, if you are going down the route of more animated shows. The storyline is unbeatable and i think its something you will really like and appreciate.
