So after I got finished sketching an upcoming commission, I watched Avatar, The Legend of Korra. I was IN LOVE with the original Avatar series and thought I would check the sequel out.

I was pretty disappointed.

I don't want to write a full review or anything..because I'm sure no one would want to sit there and read it so I will just point out a few pros, cons, and comparisons to the old series.

First off, Korra is kind of like the Avatar movie...not the one with the blue cat people, but the one that tried to "remake" the first series... which failed.

The new series was too short, like the movie, meaning you did not have the time to get to know the main characters. In the end, you just don't care when someone gets sad or "falls in love"
The series also takes a while to get interesting... just like the film. So through half of the story (REMIND YOU HALF OF THE SERIES IS ONLY SIX EPISODES) it starts getting good, but you forget where your time went earlier on. The final episodes are pretty good.. you feel like you are finally watching Avatar! but it is too little, too late. The "big twist" that would would expect the story to have isn't too exciting and it was just not enough to pull you in completely.

There was good out of the series though.. The fighting was awesome, animations looks good (despite the bad cgi of some objects and machines). The last fights towards the later half of the series were really intense and had you rooting for the main characters and you enjoyed what you were watching, Though the last scenes of the protagonists at the end felt very bland and "yay we are heroes! happy days forever!", the final scene involving the antagonist(s) was very dark and dramatic. I watched this several times over because of the emotion it evoked in me.

I'm going to stop here because I could go on all day. And I know that this is categorized as a children's cartoon, but I was expecting more when "The Last Airbender" was an Emmy award winning "Anime".

In the end, I want my day back
