There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Arte Season 1 is worth clearing space for. Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious, Arte Season 1 operates well above the genre average. Season 1 of Arte includes 12 episodes. It aired from April 2020 to June 2020. This season stars Mikako Komatsu. Mikako Komatsu leads a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2020. Arte Season 1 uses the freedom of animation to tell stories live-action could not attempt. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you have been sleeping on Arte Season 1 because of the format, the format is not the issue here. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Mikako Komatsu's voice work is a big part of what makes it distinctive. If you have been sleeping on it because of the format, the format is not the thing here.
