This show truly broke the 'video game series' mould in so many ways none of us were expecting. You can really feel just how much heart and soul went into it from each and every individual who worked on it. And it needed someone like you to spearhead the project 💕 grats to all!

I've watched this show with multiple friends, many of which didn't know/care about League, and they all wanted more when it was over. Arcane is a masterclass in animation and writing.

No offense to the other nominees but there was no way they had a chance of winning, honestly I think if anyone other than you guy won it would be a Jethro Tull moment.

Why is it always the western animations that win something and never Japanese animation such as s2 of demon slayer or jjk 0 I'm not saying this isn't well earned bc they did earn its just that Japanese animation doesn't get the respect it deserves from western outlets

After the excellent first season of Arcane, it would be exciting to see season two. We can only hope for season two to be as exciting as the Emmy-winning first season.
