Video game adaptations can be terrific if given the correct attention to detail. Arcane: League of Legends, a Netflix series based on characters from the well-known e-sports hit “League of Legends” eventually demonstrated. In order to produce a rich blend of hand-drawn and CG graphics that offers eye candy in every frame, Riot Games hired the French animation studio Forstiche. These stunning images are combined with complex characters that are brought to life by some major voice acting prowess. Things considered, the result is a presentation that, regardless of one’s feelings about the video game source material, can be enjoyed by all.

While there are many characters in “League of Legends” Riot made the prudent choice to focus on only a handful. In Season 1 of Arcane viewers will follow mad scientists Jayce (Kevin Alejandro) and Viktor (Harry Lloyd), as well as sisters Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and Jinx (Ella Purnell). Focusing on these personalities allowed the program to create a rich emotional tapestry that transported viewers to the nearby underworld of Zaun and the steampunk utopia of Piltover.

Both audiences and critics praised the show, which presently has a coveted 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The show has already received nominations for two Emmy awards: outstanding animated program and outstanding sound editing for a comedy or drama series and animation (via Variety). Even though it wasn’t the most powerful award, it was nevertheless a tremendous distinction for a production that completely exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Other than these aspects there are actually not many similarities. There is a high amplitude of aspects that go into the making of an animated show. Even more, go into properly assessing an animated show. It arises the question, is it really even fair to compare Arcane and What if as the fanbase.
