First season was great! However...

It's funny to think that... and correct me if I'm wrong... but all the love triangle business in anime dates back to Macross.

Don't read if you haven't finished the first season.

Started season 2. The art really dropped off after the first episode. All this southern/northern water spirit stuff is kinda meh so far.

Posted (edited)

A few of the early episodes from Book 2 were farmed out to a different animation studio, if I'm not mistaken, and it shows, but it reverts to the better quality animation and the story picks up 1/3-1/2 of the way through. Then, there is the flash back to the first ever Avatar, which is drawn in a different (simpler, and more pastel) style which is a bit jarring at first.

Good to know the art gets better. Season 1's art was great.

I've also decided on who my first cosplay will be... I'm going to do Amon haha. I don't know if I can make a costume in 3 months though.

Amon's costume shouldn't be all too difficult, really. The only part that wouldn't be accomplished through sewing is the mask, and masks are fairly easy. The really hard part will be imitating Steve Blum's panty-creaming voice portrayal.

Woah, so I just finished season 2. I'm kind of blown away that this was on an American kids network.

The art jumped backed up to previous levels with the first Avatar story, and then got even better.

Awesome Kaiju fight at the end!

Also, "You will always hold a special place in the organ that pumps my blood." is my favorite line for sure.

I thought season 2 could have done with some rearrangement of the plot... it stuck a bit in the first 4-5 episodes, but it def got more better toward the end. Still, as good as it was I really liked Amon's story and the cohesiveness of Season 1.

Season 3 is boss so far! Henry Rollins!!

Everything is really well done. We're finding out more and more about each character... except Korra. She isn't really developing much as a person or that interesting.

Finished season 4. Really well done.

Meh.. I kinda saw that coming. I guess it's a big deal for a "kids" cartoon for sure. But it's not that amazing really.

Such a canon ship :p

Personally I'd like to see Mako and Lin get together. Where's the love for the MILFS?

It was nice to see Korra develop a bit... it kind of turned into the Beifong show though.

Yeah, it was kind of The Beifong Show for the last season, but I actually really agree with you on the Mako-Lin thing. A friend and I were talking about that, and I think it'd be a pretty good chance for a nuanced romance.

The whole Korrasami thing is pretty groundbreaking for American kids' TV though. I mean, the lesbian couple in Sailor Moon were changed to cousins in the US localization.

I hope the comics give us more depth to their relationship though. While I'd like to see Mako-Lin happen in the Dark Horse comics, I can almost guarantee they won't do it. Partly for not being ballsy enough, partly because I don't think Bryke ships it. (But I ship it. Secretly. Because being in that kind of relationship with your boss can be scandalous if it gets out)

No, Book 4 was the end of Korra, and probably the end of TV Avatar universe. Nickelodeon won't greenlight any more animation production, but they also won't sell animation licensing. Of course, with Nick's financial straits, it may not be long before they don't have a choice.

Comics are pretty much for-sure at this point though. The last Avatar comic is supposed to be coming out in September, and after that we'll probably see some Korra comics.
