I kinda forgot Arcane was coming, so was a nice little surprise when it showed up.
The story is pretty straight forward but I think they do a good job with it. I don't know anything about the game or characters, and I don't think I ever felt "this is dumb/makes no sense this obviously is done for fan service or only exists to explain some game only origin/event/etc" which is something that a lot of non-game related stuff can't even stop themselves from doing. It's probably there, but it's done in a way that doesn't distract or in a way that serves the show's story or world building.
They do a pretty good job of the world building, which given the huge reservoir to draw from makes some sense but they could have done it poorly too with so much to draw on, so that's good.
The characters are pretty stereotypical but again I think they do well with it. Basic food with good quality ingredients is still good.
Will definitely watch the rest.
Between this and the really good first K/DA music video they seem to have some good creators there.
