I love that he highlights the EFFICIENCY of the storytelling. Nothing is oversaturated, it shows you all the possible angles of the same events that occur, and it shows how each character reacts to said events.

Another reason Arcane is so deep because the story isn't just told in the writing, everyone was basically allowed to add on to the story. The animators add on to the story, the voice actors added on to the story, and the music added on to the story.

The example of the Ashstray is really good, but for me the best example is the Ekko vs Jinx fight on the bridge, it told their full story and dynamic in such a gripping way in under 5 minutes. Its especially really good at nonverbal story telling, which is super fucking impressive for an animated show. Arcane has mastered 'Show, Don't Tell' so well and everyone understood the assignment to its fullest.

Hell, even the promotional materials understood the assignment. The Enemy music video adds more depth to Vi and Powder's relationship as well as Ekko and Powder's friendship. During each act, Riot had a website where its themed after a certain character's workspace, like Caitlyn's investigation files, which adds more detail and depth of backgroubd stuff and her thoughts on people and events. Around Act 3, Riot partnered with Secret Cinema to make a set of the Undercity where you can explore and roleplay with actors and it enhances the atmosphere and experience of the show to the people who got to visit.

😂I’m 7:44 minutes in and I’m going to have to stop and start again properly and watch when my mind is ready😂. So much is happening in this inception of videos.
1. Schnee literally deserves and honorary Arcane PhD at this point.
2. Nux’s reactions to the mind-blowingness is so refreshing 😂
3. Arcane’s team is freaking insane and at this point they might just be not human. I’m thinking extraterrestrial lifeforms🤔

"Geniuses having Genius problems, Idiots having Idiot problems." is probably the best joke anyone has made about Arcane.

i love schnee! his videos go into so much depth on story structure and characters. im so happy to see nux reacting to him!

This show is a master class of "show don't tell", I've watched it like 4 times, and I notice something new every time. The parallels with Viktor's backstory, and him finally running for the first time, and overtaking boats in the distance... Chef's kiss. When Echo is spying on Vander and Benzo in EP 1, his little periscope invention looks through the mask he wears later in the series. Echo and Silco both mention that Jayce "didn't even haggle" showing his return to his original values after diverging midway through the series. That's just the tip of the iceberg, there is so much foreshadowing, so many Easter eggs, so much emotion and storytelling just from facial expressions and cracks in voices. It is, by a long shot, some of the best writing I've ever seen in a show- animated or otherwise.

I want to write an essay on the air and water symbolism in Arcane...

And also one on perceived identity vs internalized identity.

And also one on whether Silco is symbolically the rat or the cat from the shimmer experiment.

And ALSO...

Riot needs to hire schnee to advise on arcane season 3.

Arcane doesn't fill a cup, it fills a bucket; & if the Stanley Parable has taught me anything its that buckets are truly something special.

[TorManiak]

I have to say, the animators at Fortiche(the ones who animated Arcane and many of the big League of Legends cinematics like the different Worlds AMVs) are god tier. They don't just animate well, they even are writers too, with how much small details to even the special effects and the sounds add extra depth to the abyss Arcane already is with its overall story and narrative.
And I swear, this show has to be set in history and be shown to anyone learning how to make art. It's just way too good not to be used as an example to students in class(and they'll be entertained too).

[ragnarian]

Aaaand now nux is gonna binge schnee's videos just to find out what he missed!

[shika]

I just don’t understand, *HOW* do you make a show this good??? There’s not one single show that’s ever been THIS well executed. It truly is the pinnacle of writing in a television medium

[fireguardianx]

Honestly, having something like arcane happen is exponentially difficult, and the fact we got it once is amazing. IMO, like other people said, arcane tells the story not just in dialogue, visuals, or audio, but in all of them, and, what I find is INCREDIBLY hard and made it so good was the direction. Every person in this understood the tones, themes, story, etc. They added it in a way that played off of one another instead of creating an incongruance. With arcane having dozens of people working on it at any point, the fact that they were able to bring this to life with such cohesion is almost more amazing than the show itself.

[supermac]

Holy shit, aren't some of these great themselves in Cyberpunk edge runner's? I hope these aninimated series are a good sign for the future of storytelling because I'm excited

[leovk]

7:46 about holding the object: every objectif in Arcane is imperfect, in the sense that it is hand drawn. The only thing made to be perfect, a perfect circle made via computer, is the stabilized hex ball. This is symbolic in its own way, as the show resolves around the hex ball, which itself symbolises absolute power.

[upRicky]

Arcane was one of the best shows I watch during that year 😭🧡

[Toymachine]

Schnee makes amazing videos, and I highly recommend watching more

[darkstarplays]

I’ve watched some of his videos and he is really good at picking apart this show and showing you why it works and inside the characters head. Great content.

i like to propose an addition to the cup theorem. to some degree you can add things to the cup without overfilling it like whipped cream. just details that add a layer of extra care to those who want it but can be missed without hindering the strength of the story. but if you ´get´ the whipped cream you can enjoy what's in the cup in a whole different way adding extra layer to it. also known as detalle de fina coquetería
