I've seen a lot of things in my life. Great things, bad things, crazy things. But Arcane has given us something that leaves us all speechless. 10-20 years ago, the most we could get was things like Ghost in The Shell, films from Ghibli Studios, etc. But who would have thought that a French studio founded in 2009 could shock us all. Fortiche Production SAS is the name of Riot Games' secret weapon. And what the guys and girls have put together has never been seen before. Apart from the fact that the story has its weaknesses here and there and the pacing isn't quite up to scratch, everything else about this show, this masterpiece, is masterful. Direction, characters, style, action, camera work and the right use of music. The latter is so well done that it takes my breath away every time and I'm completely immersed. The emotions that are celebrated are simply unbelievable and unbelievably beautiful. Especially in flashbacks or memories, the story is simply turned 360 degrees and takes us into another little world. And I think that's what many modern productions have forgotten how to do. Have a vision of your product and tell it consistently to the end without giving a damn about any rules. That's how incredibly good products are created. Like The Last of Us or Life is Strange. Or Detroit Become Human. Please don't lose your creativity and don't let people tell you what to do when it comes to creating something really special.
