This acclaimed series, considered by many to be Netflix’s best program, ended after three years on the air. Its ending did not leave fans indifferent.
It is often very difficult to say goodbye to a series that has accompanied us for several years. Netflix subscribers experienced it again. After three years of broadcast, this acclaimed series, considered by many to be the best series on the streaming platform, ended this Saturday, November 23.
Since fans watched the last episode, everyone has commented on I didn’t feel a void like that when finishing a work,” comments another. For a third, who believes that this program has “marked the world of animation forever”, “it will take me several days to fully recover from it. I don’t have the words”.
And yes, Arcanait’s over. The last episodes of season 2, which had to wait the years during a blank year, conclude with great fanfare the stories of Piltover and Zaun. Without spoiling, know that this finale was particularly tragic for certain protagonists, or strong in emotions, which explains the fiery reactions of fans. Episode 7, which highlights the character of Ekko (and an unexpected duo of Pomme and Stromae!), is particularly commented on on social networks.
If we can criticize this last season for its faults (too many characters, too many plots condensed into only 9 episodes, key themes reduced to a sketchy state…), this one still has offered great moments of animation to spectators, multiplying graphic styles and moving scenes.
The defects of this season 2 can be explained by lowered ambitions: the creators wanted to last Arcana over five seasons, but the series cost too much ($250 million according to Variety), the number of episodes was reduced. That didn’t stop Netflix subscribers from being impressed by this final season.
But don’t panic for fans, if the story developed in Arcana is indeed over, this does not mean that the world of video games League of Legendswhich inspires the program, will not continue to expand… with possibly the return of old characters. In any case, this is what the final plan of the series may suggest, and what the creators of the program, Riot Games and Fortiche Studios, have suggested, who have announced that they are working on three spin-off series.
Fans of the animated series will discover other parts of the universe, and in particular the lands of Noxus mentioned many times in Arcanabut also Ionia and Demacia. In the meantime, fans can relive some of the best moments from this definitive series on Netflix. And if you’ve never seen Arcanawe strongly advise you to take a look.
