Appreciation post: I finally gave that weird animated show a shot and it's actually amazing

For a long time, I kept seeing people talk about 'Arcane' and I just wrote it off as another video game cartoon. I finally watched the first episode about two weeks ago because my friend would not stop telling me to. The animation style alone blew me away, it's like a moving painting. I ended up watching the entire first season in two days, which is something I never do. The story about the two sisters from different cities just hooked me completely. Has anyone else been surprised by a show they thought they would hate?

Huh, I had the total opposite experience. I watched it because of the hype and found it kind of a slog. The animation is cool, but the story felt really slow to me, like they spent forever on the childhood stuff. I got bored waiting for something to actually happen and stopped after a few episodes. Just felt like a lot of style over substance.

Yeah, that slow burn thing happens a lot now, feels like everything needs to be a huge build-up.
