Arcane’s second season has wrapped up, leaving many of us in awe of its stunning animation and deep storytelling. However, some of us felt that the final episodes moved a bit too quickly, trying to tie up numerous plotlines in a short time.

Christian Linke, the show’s co-creator, addressed these concerns on Reddit. He explained that while they didn’t face pressure from corporate greed, they did have to work within certain limits, like budget and time. He emphasized that dealing with these constraints is a normal part of the creative process.

Linke also highlighted the close relationship between the Arcane team and the animators at Fortiche. He mentioned that their collaboration is tight-knit, allowing for creative freedom and the development of magical moments. He found it disappointing that some of us thought otherwise.

Despite the challenges, Linke expressed pride in what they achieved with Season 2. He acknowledged that while it’s not perfect, the season succeeded in making us feel deeply connected to the animated characters.

Looking ahead, the team plans to expand Arcane’s universe with three new stories set in different regions of the League of Legends world, including Noxus, Demacia, and Ionia. This promises more exciting adventures for us to look forward to.

In the end, creating a show like Arcane involves balancing creative vision with practical limitations. Linke’s insights remind us of the hard work and dedication that go into bringing such a beloved series to life.
