Korra Time!

Calling all those who have been missing Avatar: The Legend of Aang; the Legend of Korra is already out. I repeat, the Legend of Korra is already out.

So far, this is the one thing which I've been fangirling about for the past few months. Join Korra (waterbender), the new Avatar, as she travels to the Republic city. Korra has mastered the first three elements--- water, fire and earth; so she trains with Tenzin (son of Katara and Aang ) in order to learn the ways of Airbending.

Everything about the series- the artwork, the plotline, the characters-- is amazing. I especially love how none of them are Mary and Gary Sues (well, so far, I've only watched two episodes, but the idea for each character is already good). Let's not forget about the humor as well; Bolin, Korra and even Tenzin are hilarious. As well as the concept of pro-bending and such. The only real complaint I have for this series is the fact that the supposed love traingle in the series is too complicated; in fact, it isn't even a triangle anymore.

From episode two, I have shipped Makorra (Mako/Korra), but there have been dozens of characters proclaiming their attraction to each other. Asami is flirting with Mako and Bolin suddenly considers Korra as a potential girlfriend. No offense to the people who love complicated situations such as these but I prefer non-complicated romance... and realistic ones as well. Although I would admit that a Mako and Bolin rivalry over Korra would have been cute, I wouldn't want the love to overpower the main point of the whole show.

Also I'm disappointed that among all the original characters, Katara was the only one who made the cut. The rest either did not appear in the first few episodes or died long before the series started. Though the fresh new faces did fulfill my appetite, I will definitely still miss Aang, Katara and Zuko.

So all in all, this series is another must-watch! You guys would love it, trust me. So, suit up benders and non-benders! This will be one hell of a journey.
