[Anime] Avatar The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra

[Tragedia]

Here is the trailer!

[etubrutei]

Set 70 years after the first series, it follows Korra, the newest avatar, who has already learned fire, water and earth bending at the time of the start of the story. She goes to learn air bending from Aang and Katar's son. The main plot seems to involve an anti-bending rebel group that Korra must stop.

It seems to be a smaller story, taking place mostly in one city called Republic City that was created by Aang and Zuko as a place for all four nations. Biggest theme sounds likely to be the battle of the old ways, bending, against the newly emerging technical boom and lots of steampunk-like weapons and tools.



Not really. Aang's story was already told. I like that it gives a chance for a totally new story with a new character. One of the biggest themes of Avatar was the idea of growing up and taking responsibility for ones actions. Aang has already learned that lesson so any new story involving him would not be all that interesting from a character perspective.

couldn't of said it any better

[etubrutei]

yep she seems to be the polar opposite of Aang

http://theavatarportal.org/ is a nice site to check about infos about Korra & Co. Including a Q&A, panels, arts, infos and videos.

Ya I feel the same way but later is better then never i suppose.

My point was more I'd rather they had waited until say, 6 months before release to tell us there was a new series coming out.

[Hanto]

The whole idea kinda seemed off to me at first until I read the wiki (I responded before but had to revise it because apparently I misread like 3/4 of the entire damn entry) and was pretty amazed by how interesting the story looked from 70 years in the future. I find it very interesting about how the new Avatar's ability to control fire so well and how she seems to prefer fire bending. Aang's weakness/fear is her strength/passion, quite intriguing.

Meh I still would've preferred a story based around Aang after he grew up.

Meh I still would've preferred a story based around Aang after he grew up.

It would be a very boring series hes a full powered avatar who can energy bend it would be like a wolf vs a kitten

Airbender was a great show, easily one of the best animated cartoons in a long time.
When I first saw the trailer for Korra a few months back I was instantly excited.

Also cant wait to see the Last Airbender book 2

I loved the original series so if the makers put as much work into this series(which seems likely) then I will be very happy to watch this as well

It's not Anime just saying.

[Horrify]

No one else disapointed? I liked the old series with Aang, i'm not keen on new main characters replacing old ones in anything.

Aang will still be around. He'll just be making his appearances from the spirit world when he's helping Korra out with Avatar-related things, the same way Roku helped Aang in the first series.

Personally, I can't wait to see adult Aang teaching Korra how to be the Avatar.

It's not Anime just saying.

It has strong anime influences and it is kind-of made in the anime style, albeit in the U.S.

David Faustino told me "It's gonna be a good one." on Twitter!

It's not Anime just saying.

It is as close to anime you can get without being anime. P.S. Anime is just the Japanese name for animation so technically, it is anime. To the Japanese people at least.

I hope the series touches on what happens to Zuko's mom :/. DAMN YOU CLIFFHANGER!

[pickley]

I hope the series touches on what happens to Zuko's mom :/. DAMN YOU CLIFFHANGER!

I seriously doubt it will. Its set 70 years in the future. Its very likely Zuko is dead. His mother definantly is.

[Hambon]

It has some very large shoes to fill, I hope I wont expect too much and only end up disappointed.
ps uncle is the best

[Sand Person]

omg is this for real? you better not be trollin, sir!!! D

where have you been. it was announced over a year ago.

[Skizzit]

I hope the series touches on what happens to Zuko's mom :/. DAMN YOU CLIFFHANGER!

That will most likely be dealt with in this:http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/The_Promise,_Part_1
It is going to be a 3 part comic series by Dark Horse that deals with what happened just after the war. Both the creators are involved with it so it is totally canonical and it will link the two series together. First issue to be released in January.
