Anime Review: Legend of Korra: Book 4
10 years ago
It's been another long while that I have done a review on particularly any animated series or movie at all because you should know where my place of work is. It is being a Mod here, if you haven't figure it out. So I finally get to finish the final book of the Korra saga and here I am going to give you what my review on not just this book also the rest as in a whole.
SO LET'S GO!
_____________________
STORY/PLOT
"If you haven't followed the whole saga up from the very beginning until now, you first should do it otherwise you won't understand the whole thing."
3 years have passed since Korra have battled against the leader of the Red Lotus, Zaheer, and came out victorious. The world has changed, peace is being established throughout the nations. Even Team Avatar is changed. Yet something is brewing within the Earth Kingdom. A young woman Captain and Earth Kingdom Leader, Kuvira also known as "The Great Uniter" who wants to establish the Earth Kingdom back to it's former glory. By ruling it all with the iron fist (no pun intended). Causing a great unbalance between Earth and Spirit. The spirits are leaving and the world is once again plunging into chaos. Korra and Team Avatar must act fast before there could be another Great War.
___________
(Positive ratings: How much I like it. Negative ratings: How much I dislike it.)
**Positives**
"Character Relationships" - Between Asami and her father, and Varrick and Zhu Li. Everything went well as I really hoped. Unfortunately, too sad with Korra and Mako. 4/5
"Return of Toph Beifong" - I love to see her making a cameo and not a thing about her changed.... only a little. If you haven't read the comics, Toph disappeared to find "True Enlightenment". She has truly found it (even though she's not showing it.) Became a hermit within the swamp. She can really see things throughout the whole world not just one particular area. Still, not even she knows how to bend platinum. She only appeared on a couple of episodes but that's fine by me that she is still awesome. 5/5
"The Final Battle: Day of Colossus/The Last Stand" - I don't want to jump on the bandwagon on how "Epic" this battle/fight is with every character on board on stopping Kuvira's mech. This battle is Great but not too great for me. On how everything is going on I can say it's cliche and can be very predictable on how it all goes. I can say is Kuvira's soldiers are no pushovers not like Aang's saga. They can really put up a really good fight with Team Avatar. 3/5
___________
**Negatives**
"Rushed out the door" - Book 4, no actually, the rest of the books (except Book 2) are REALLY felt they've been rushed out the door. It didn't established a foundation into really liking the characters and picking favorites for me. Everyone is good to their own way. 3/5
"Episode: Remembrance" - This... Episode.... sucked major guro balls. To make this kind of episode if this saga have 6 or more books before it. After that, then the audience reminiscent through the ALL episodes have happened and years of battle. With only 3 books before it and the whole thing feels rushed out, I don't think there's not much to remember. 5/5
"Each episode is too short and arm cutting" - Each episodes I have watched, they all felt to be only one big giant scene after another. one episode ending after another is like you're being choked to death for me. That is not good for having it dragged like that. 4.5/5
"Controversial Ending" - Just to clarify, I am not against gay/lesbian but how this have ended makes my skin crawled just a little bit. Korra and Asami have confirmed to be more than just "best friends" from all these rumors. I am not really buying it still unless if they kissed each other, then I would totally go jawdropping that it's truly confirmed. This animated show is REALLY big in the US and it is the first for me to see this take the whole thing into a very different turn. 2/5
________________
Verdict:
Knowing it's confirmed from the creators, this is the end of the Avatar series unless they have confirmed to make bits and pieces like comics as such. Book 4 for me is a meh. My most favorite book out of all of them is Book 2. This final book could have done and made better if it is the last Avatar to make. I would not compare Aang and Korra sagas. That would just make me a very biased Zebra on here.
Book 4: 6/10 - Slightly Above Average
Korra Saga: 7/10 - Could have been made better
