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?

The Legend of Korra Book 2: Spirits trailer is here!
Let’s discuss this thing. Drop highlights, thought-provoking moments, and theories below! This is grander than I could have ever imagined
– Patches
Update: JuJuSeed and Empyreankosmo say that there will be two episodes that introduce Wan was the first Avatar. To that I still wonder, how? How do we just throw two backstory episodes into a narrative that’s trucking along? What do we think will be the segue that allows for the main storyline to take a two episode break?
Book 2 will introduce the very first Avatar, Wan. He’ll be voiced by Walking Dead actor Steven Yeun.
Here is my big question: How do we get there? Flashbacks were a big part of Book 1, but they were born out of the narrative. Aang was communicating with Korra. I would suspect that, if we see flashbacks, it would be Wan needing to make contact. No willy nilly jumping backwards in Legend of Korra.
Here’s my real theory: We meet Wan in the spirit world. The background of this picture is what clinches it for me. The surreal shapes of trees and the colors of the sky…. has to be the spirit world. Right?
That is just my (Patches) thinking. Let the theories fly. How is Wan going to figure in to Korra’s Book 2 adventure?
Listen to Two Exclusive Clips From the Legend of Korra Soundtrack
Was happy to bring the Korra love to New York Magazine’s Vulture. Head over there to hear samples from the music and an interview with composer Jeremy Zuckerman of The Track Team.
Plus: They’re having a soundtrack signing at Comic-Con! I am super jealous if you’re going to be there.

I’m sorry, Season 2 is so far gone. We’re already doing Season 3 now so everything’s so muddled.
– Seychelle Gabriel, Asami, to IGN at WonderCon
Well, we knew Book 3 was coming, but – GOOD NEWS – they seem to be going non-stop. Which means we might get to go through Korra fully before we have children!
Voices are on Book 3, scoring is half-to-¾ the way through Book 2 and a handful of episodes are in color correct. Fall looks pretty close.
-Da7e-
Grey DeLisle, voice of Azula has tweeted that she will be returning to the Avatar universe in The Legend of Korra: Book 2 as “The Dark Spirit.”
Is this our big bad?
Hey, I’ve been at Comic Con. But this is true and I imagine it will be one of the first things we hear on the panel Friday (BTW – I’m (Da7e) is going to be live-blogging that panel at CINEMABLEND.COM – I’ll link you)
The word has come from an Entertainment Weekly exclusive:
Nickelodeon has picked up a second season of the animated adventure seriesThe Legend of Korra, EW has learned. After averaging 3.8 million viewers for Season 1, Book 1, which concluded June 23, the Avatar: The Last Airbender sequel received an order for 26 more episodes (which presumably will be divided into two parts called Books 3 and 4.)
The show is already set to return in 2013 with the premiere of Season 1, Book 2 (which consists of 14 episodes, finishing off the original 26-episode order)
We hadn’t heard that Book 1 and Book 2 were a 26 episode series split into two “books” because it was initially just the shorter mini-series.
BUT – this does mean there are 12 episodes of Korra down and THERE ARE STILL 40 episodes to go!
Great news for Korra fans…
… So I guess the podcast just got picked up for 3 more years? Who wants to grow old together? Am I going to name my first child after an Avatar character or a Korra character?
