lemme just say, Legend of Korra is NOT anime.
It is a fantastic show, but it is not Japanese.

Wait why the hostile reaction to the guy who's pointing out the funny title of this thread? It's true Avatar isn't an anime, it'd be like calling Justice League an anime. Did I miss some forum rule? Nothing on the first page o_O

Every time someone brings up the "This isn't an anime" stuff again, Zuko kills a kitten.
Oh. Right. Well it's a bit sad that people get instantly reported under the assumption of "99% chance trolling" for something that's a point of genuine discussion and 100% related to the thread topic.
I had assumed it was widely accepted that only in Japan does the word "anime" refer to any and all animated production. Meanwhile in non-Japanese countries (i.e. 99% of the world) the word "anime" specifically refers to a Japanese production due to their distinct art and language style. All other 2D animation falls under the "cartoon" category. When I ask someone "do you watch anime?" I don't expect an answer like "well I sometimes watch Tom and Jerry", because that would be stupid :P
edit: uh oh zuko killed another kitten

You can call this whatever you want, call it an Anime, call it a cartoon... even call it a reality TV Show. Frankly I don't really care how you call it because it's an awesome TV Show that me and many others like to watch. And every time someone will point out again that it's not an Anime, Zuko loses a Pai show game against Iroh.

Playing since 2007.
I also really like how they have tasefully implemented steampunk elements in the series.
The weapon glove and the Equalist equipment are good examples.
It also creates this technology vs bending front, which is quite interesting.
Zuko is still alive in LoK, as Firelord he resigned, passed leadership to his daughter, and is now traveling the world.
I noticed that there's plenty of good info in the exploration website feature, I haven't done much of it but I'll get around to it.
