What Would Your Favorite Iconic Anime Characters Look Like if They Were in the Universe of Arcane?

Welcome, anime fans and stans. Millions of people have been fooled, tricked, and bamboozled into unknowingly consuming League of Legends content by the captivating plot lines, colorful cast of characters, and jaw-dropping beautiful blend of 3D and 2D art of Arcane. Despite being a prequel series explaining the lore to online video game League of Legends, the series has enjoyed massive success and has reached audiences that have not even the remotest interest in gaming. This is in part because streaming behemoth Netflix is the show's distributor, but it is also because the series is genuinely incredibly well-made, entertaining, and beautiful.

While the series has several commendable aspects, the distinct visual style might be the most talked about. While the characters are modeled using 3D software, their environment, special effects, and some facial expressions are hand-drawn and painted, giving the world an artistic, gritty, yet grounded feeling. After an Arcane binge session, you might wish every show were animated like that. While that is impossible, you can scroll down and check out AI renders of what your favorite manga would look like if they had been adapted by the animation studio Fortiche.
