Based on the game series, this is proving to be one of the most popular and critically acclaimed video game adaptations ever, 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and 9.3 on IMDb (and the latter are hard to please!), anyone else watching it?

This will probably be a long shot, but I hope at least someone else here is watching. I'm four episodes in but it's already looking like one of my favourite shows of the year - the animation reminds me of Into the Spider-Verse and is absolutely gorgeous and definitely feels like a step forward for the medium, and the characters and voice acting is wonderful too, especially from the two leads.

 

And I know diddly squat about the games it's based on!

This is definitely on my watch list, if it's finally killed off the video game curse then that's big.

I've seen lots of talk about it because it of course, it's appealing to the demographics of... weebs.

 

I have zero interest in League even as a gamer, it's the sort of game you either devote your life to or know to stay well away from, but I've heard good reviews for this one, I should give it a shot.

I've never played League of Legends and was utterly captivated by the fantastic animation and story of this. Can't wait for the second series.

 

As mentioned above this feels like breakthrough for video game adaptations.

Very good series overall, finished it last night, and the last few episodes gave me the hint (even if me knowing more about the game would likely confirm this) that there's a big world outside what we've seen already and there's a lot of directions the next season could go.

 

Love the setting of steampunk + magic fantasy, can never really get enough of that and there were even a number of great messages sprinkled throughout the show. The most obvious of course being the inequality between the two parts of the city.

as the end drew near I felt that both the Council and Silco represented different ways leaders could fail their people, the former with elite "shows of concern" but no action, and the latter by making himself an authoritarian figurehead who depends on his power being unchallenged - and then of course the unhinged Jinx gets into the mix with an act of terrorism

. Potential for a lot of good class commentary and also war commentary given how the series has so far treated the deaths of even minor characters.

 

Plus the action scenes are FANTASTIC, they've really taken a lot of styling from anime in how to choreograph cool-looking fights with these ridiculous but awesome weapons.

 

so basically season 2 when
