This week, Nigel and Tazziii sadly put an end to the pursuit of perfection with a Retrospective deep dive into the second and final season of the hit animation series Arcane: League of Legends (starting at 28:52). Joining them are artist and digital content creator Liza N. Cooper and Wesley Louis from The Line Animation Studio.After considering the first season a masterpiece, we explore whether the second season maintains the high standard set by the narrative and technical achievements of its predecessor.We examine how the series has been able to adapt its lore to resonate so strongly with both fans and newcomers alike, debating its most impactful moments and whether the themes of redemption, grief, and the pursuit of perfection bring a satisfying conclusion to this 9-episode thrill ride!Other stories we're enjoying include: Peppa Pig (BBC), Severance (Apple TV+), Jack Reacher (Prime Video), Dragon Ball DAIMA (Netflix), Scissor Seven (Netflix), Invincible (Prime Video), The Penguin (HBO Max), Umbrella Academy Season 4 (Netflix), A Man on the Inside (BBC iPlayer), Kiss Him Not Me! (Crunchyroll), The Apothecary Diaries (Manga), Blue Lock (Crunchyroll), I'm Still Here (Cinema), Blue Eyed Samurai (Netflix).Guest CreditsLiza N.
