Anime – Republic City Dispatch

Tag: Anime

The always excellent PBS Ideas Channel asks the question that has lit a thousand fires: Is Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra “anime?”

You might remember the most lengthy of the several times we’ve brought this up on the episode “If There Was A Korra Movie” HERE (from last year’s haitus).

As for this year’s haitus, we’re producing another episode this week. We’ll for sure be back soonsies.

Until then: Cartoon or Anime? The never-ending debate.

For me, illustrative quality of the spirit world is the highlight of Korra Book 2 trailer. I think the “real world” animation — especially the work on the bike chase — is detailed, fluid, and as kinetic as ever, but man, these above frames are on a whole other level of artistry.

The spirit designs have had a Miyazaki/Spirited Away quality to them. The scenes featuring Wan feel distinct — more storybook, emulating ancient Eastern artwork. My mind jumped to the animation of Isao Takahata (Grave of the Fireflies) and Shoujirou Nishimi (Tekkonkinkreet).

What do they recall for you? Where do they take your imagination?

REPUBLIC CITY DISPATCH #7: BONUS EPISODE!

BE FOREWARNED – Discussion includes Avatar: The Last Airbender, Chapters 1-7 of The Legend of Korra and could expand to include The Promise (Part One), Nick.com’s “Welcome To Republic City” at any time.

Good Morning Benders and Non-Benders alike and Welcome to The Republic City Dispatch, a radio programme covering Nickelodeon’s Legend of Korra series. This week: a special bonus episode while time stands still in Republic City. This episode goes out to Air Temple Island with this special message from our listeners: “Korra, Tenzin, Mako, Bolin, Pabu, Naga, Assami, Pema, Jinora, Ikki, Meelo – everyone take a moment to relax!” It’s time for Matt, Da7e and Devindra!

This week-without-and-episode, we talk about internet fandom and how it relates to criticism, how we got involved in online fandom, if it’s fair to apply straight criticism to Korra before it is over – PLUS – a Lightning Round covering our most frequently asked questions and posed theories and each member of the podcast has something you should check out to tide you over until next Saturday when Korra returns (or that’s what it looks like – that’s on the podcast too).

Hosted by Devindra Hardawar of the /Filmcast and Da7e and Matt Patches of Operation Kino.
