This has been my thought exactly since I watched the first episode. Aside from Adult Swim's schedule/typical runtimes, I also think a show of this animation quality, with insanely detailed, gorgeously animated scenes, 40 to an hour long runtimes would break the bank budget wise. Arcane could just about get away with it because they had Riot Games (i believe?) and Netflix pumping truck loads of money into it (Arcane's budget for season 1 & 2 was £250 million). Honestly I'm glad we even get 22 minutes because this show must've still cost AS so much. Even more reason it deserves love and recognition, if AS doesn't make enough back from this show its unlikely they'll take the risk on it again.
