Now, after the first three episodes are out, we can tell that fans and critics both really love the show. The "freshness" rating for the second season on Rotten Tomatoes stands at 100% based on fifteen reviews, with a user rating of 96%.

The series continues to be one of the best modern animated shows, celebrated for its stunning animation, captivating storyline, and well-developed characters. The new season draws viewers into the characters' emotional journeys, especially those of Vi and Jinx.

Some critics note that the second season has minor pacing issues and occasionally overly straightforward dialogue. However, the breathtaking animation and emotional depth elevate the show beyond a typical video game adaptation.

It’s worth noting that, according to journalists, approximately $250 million was spent on Arcane’s two seasons, making it one of the most expensive animated series in history.
