Like its first season, ARCANE season two was met with rave reviews, garnering widespread praise for its striking animation, emotionally complicated characters, thrilling music, and overall production quality. It is currently nominated for “Outstanding Animated Program” and “Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) and Animated” at the 2025 Emmy Awards. The series made a full sweep at this year's Annie Awards, taking home awards in all seven categories it was nominated in. Throughout the series’ run it has garnered widespread praise for its striking animation, emotionally complicated characters, thrilling music, and overall production quality, and has been praised by critics as one of the best video game adaptations ever created.
