GUYS PEY HAS A SPONSORSHIP
I have cried 5 times watching arcane season 2 and 4 of them have been in episode 4 5 and 6
I think this show is one of the greatest pieces of art to ever be created. The writing, the animation, the sound, and even the shot-style are all perfect. It sets the bar so high that every other type of animation seems less than by comparison. I don't even play League of Legends so I can watch this as pure entertainment not necessarily something that is on my game radar.
Most hyped I’ve ever been to see an ad (happy for you, Pey)
i also think this structure is really benefitting the show's pacing. Its pretty obvious that arcane is having to deal with the technicalities of fitting all of this amazing stuff in a very short season that i don't think was originally intended. I feel like these breaks in between acts gives time for the story and the audience to breath and process things, rather than having to have slow scenes embedded in the show and take up valuable time for progressing the story!!!
Another great example of long pilots having a great impact on the success of a show is Oshi no Ko. The premiere was an unheard of 90 minutes, practically a movie. However, it fit the story telling structure so well and is considered one of the best first episodes of an anime of all time. I love that TV shows and anime are getting more experimental with their release formats. I really think it's proving to be a great idea
I think what also benefits from the 3 episode drop is attention span. People do not like waiting on set up and world/character introduction. They want to get to the pay off so dropping all the build up at once makes it seem like they are getting to the "good stuff" faster and thus, they are willing to stick around longer.
Pey talking about Arcane? I'll be there no matter what!
The 6 days 22 hours between acts is torture, but it works
pey talkin about schnee is a vibe since i watched all 3 two hour long analysis videos while at work lol
schnee mentioned, video liked
What's cool is that each music number in S2 Act 1 mirrors in presentation a similar sequence over S1 (e.g. Firelights music intro vs Caitlyn's strike force music intro). S2 Act 1 is introducing not just the story that came before, but also it's cinematography and artstyle to a new and returning audience.
Congrats in getting a sponsor! Also great video :D I hope you continue to make Arcane videos as the season comes out :]
ayy congrats on filling the sponsor space
I love schnee, his arcane writing women was amazing!
Obsessed in 2021, obsessed in 2024. Arcane is unbelievable.
THIS VIDEO IS NOT SPONSORED BY PEY!!! Congrats!!! You deserve it!!! I will also say, every time you release a video, I get renewed motivation to write my DND content.
A good way I stop myself from having super high expectations for a media is to consider what we have as the start. Season 2 is the end, not a continuation, this mindset let me turn off the critical part of my brain and have fun with every episode. Part 2 comes out in 6 minutes and I am watching it asap
wow you really put into words what i was thinking about the 3 act release too! it creates the perfect balance between having enough to talk about while not waiting too long for the next episode, i really hope shows like stranger things will adapt this form of release as it is just sooo exciting! i also really appreciated the schnee mention, as he was the one that really got me thinking about entertainment as art and deeper meanings of shows, im also excited to check your channel out! great work!
