I'm stoked! I wonder if Koh shall be making an appearance. (shudders) Super creepy!

 

Oh man I bet you they are going to give him at least an appearance. Yeah he was super crazy. Well, we only got a little glimps of the 'Avatar' universe spirit world so I think it is really cool that book 2 will be focusing on it. Major potential in it. Excited!

 

I hope they announce a premiere date soon

....I might be the only one that doesn't like the animation that much XD........... moves too much like an anime..

One major problem i have while watching legend of korra is the new Nick 10 studio which is a block program that will interrupt your enjoyment of any TV show airing on Nickelodeon.

This info proves it. ^

 

Worse news is the fact that this programming block has official twitter account tweeting about how their show is in fact funny and it shouldn't be cancelled. Personalty, when you get a lot of negative reaction you shouldn't delude yourself to the point were you don't even hear the rational reasons why people hate that show or block. I hope the rational complains will get to them and knock some senses into them.

don't worry they don't do this interruption thing during Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (I would go into rage if they did)

 

I'm sure they won't for LOK.

 

I'm guessing they don't do it during the "important" shows (the 30 minute ones)

To me anime is some of the worst animation I've ever seen. LoK doesn't look like anime to me. Avatar from the beginning used anime heavily as inspiration but it's also always been higher quality. I noticed in Book 1 of LoK that the animation was a little inconsistent but still great. Understandable considering their time-frame and budget for Book 1. Now that Nick has gotten fully on board and ordered several more seasons, I imagine the animation from here on out will be a bit more polished. If I remember correctly, the animation studio in Korea that are doing the show just moved offices and hired a lot more people.

I'm sure the animation will be fine ^_^ but....from that clip...it reminded me alot of anime animation.....the way everything goes too fast..... 

 

in the first book, you could see all their bending moves perfectly, they took the time to do the right stances and everything.

 

but maybe I'm just worrying too much :)  we shall see~

I watched it a couple more times and I guess I just don't see what you are mentioning. The clip was probably too short for either of us to make a final judgment though  . It is interesting because the speed of the animation is why I don't think it looks like anime   to me anime always seems so slow, like they are trying to get the most time out of a still shot as possible.

 

 

You really think that?

 

Yes   keep in mind I'm talking about strictly the technical qualities of the animation itself. But I still watch a lot of it still for the rest of it's awesome qualities. Not many forms of entertainment can you get such cool stories on a huge scale. I mean, Naruto has had more than a decade to build an epic story.

 

Also: saying anime animation is bad is a HUGE generality on my part. There are some anime movies with kickn' animation that I love. For example, "Sword of the Stranger" blew my mind.

IDK......maybe it's the frames??? in anime it seems they use less, but in avatar they seemed to use more, so you can clearly see what's going on.

 

man....it's so hard to explain animation sometimes....some see it the way you do, and others see it their way. lol

[jworks]

Yeah it is tough. It's like we all learn how to watch movies when we grow up. We have been brought up so that we can sit and watch fake things on a flat screen and accept it and let ourselves believe it for the duration. For example if you were to take an adult out of the 19th century and show them a movie, they could never experience it the way we can. But that concept works across everything even small things.

 

Anyway I'm being verbose  haha

So I've been re-watching the series on NickToons, and something came to my mind. Now I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, haven't checked this thread in a while , But I was thinking, should the Pro Bender Tournament had its own season and reserve season 1 strictly for the Amon/revolution arc?

 

I always thought the tournament was a good idea, however, we all know that it never got to have a good completion. Not only that, but I feel that it made the Amon plot more rushed.

 

Would it have been better making the Amon arc be all of season 1 and just leave the tournament stuff for season 2?

[jworks]

@Lid

 

I can certainly understand the desire to have both amon and pro-bendiing more fleshed out but I think the pro-bending was put there FOR story telling purposes of the other elements. For example it was a perfect way to introduce Mako and Bolin to the story and when Korra joined their team, it forced the three of their relationships to develop. It was also a perfect example to be used in opposite of Amon and his movement. It introduced us, the audience, to how people treat bending in Korra's time and give Korra a way to rebel against her mentors. Lastly, although I always loved watching the matches, there isn't much more to be done with pro-bending as far as story goes. 

 

Although that is all sort of conjecture so take it as you will

I guess I'm just a big fan of tournament arcs lol. Yu Yu Hakusho Dark Tournament Arc was one of my faves so yeah

[merryGOflava]

I knew it!! the animation is like anime!!! 

 

cause season 2 is being animated by both Studio Pierrot (ya know..........Naruto...nuff said, Japanese company)  and Studio Mir (the people that did the first legend of korra, Korean company)

 

and the reason......is complicated.......Here's the reason ---> http://avatarthelege...have-an-answer/

A better news they cancelled the nickstudios10! it got too much hatred on its offical twitter page and facebook that's how it got cancelled.

I know can't wait to see what made the avatar spirit attract wan and how the avatar spirit was created! 

 

Maybe its due to highest spirituality he had compare to other people.

 

Judging from the back round of the picture the avatar cycle started in prehistoric era which isn't to surprising.
