How about a review for each of tonight’s Legend of Korra episodes? Let’s discuss!

"Rebirth” Review

“The Earth Queen” Review

mattpatches:

Read all of my reviews from The Legend of Korra: Book 2.

For most people, recaps are day-after reading. The author files their story, people reflect on the episode for a morning, and that’s that. Next!

But I’m quite proud of the criticism I wrote for Vulture during The Legend of Korra’s second season. It’s a show packed with provocative themes and animated nuance. Compared to Book 1, it was ambitious and a little messy. There was tons to talk about week-to-week. When it worked and even when it didn’t, I was thrilled to spotlight the passion poured into each episode. Thought it made sense to share these again.

I’ll be writing about Book 3 at Screencrush.com. Look at for posts going up after new episodes air on Friday.

KORRA GAME WILL HAVE PRO BENDING…but only for CPU and you.

From the first HANDS ON report from the game (CLICK!):

“Lastly, Platinum is making a competitive arena mode, where you can take on other benders in 3 vs. 3 matches. Although this seems like an opportunity for online multiplayer, the game is only single-player, and these matches are fought against computer-controlled characters.”

Otherwise, it sounds really interesting from a hack-n-slash combo perspective. And it looks great.

A LEGEND OF KORRA Game is Coming From the Best Studio Possible « Nerdist

Platinum Games is developing a game based on The Legend of Korra, according to IGN. The Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance studio is targeting a fall release for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One…

I do not know much about the Korra game yet. But I’m going to find out as much as I can.

Any good posts/info about it you’ve stumbled across? Post ‘em in the comments?

Yip Yip.

KORRA FANS. We must show Nick Animation we rule the Tumblr. Upload soon, upload often. #NickFanArt

-Da7e-

nickanimationstudio:

Calling all artists for the Nickelodeon Tumblr Fan Art Competition!

Draw your favorite Nickelodeon character, past or present, doing their favorite activity and upload it to your Tumblr using #NickFanArt for the chance to have YOUR art displayed on the screens of the Nick booth at San Diego Comic Con!

Submissions will be accepted until July 11th. Full rules here: http://at.nick.com/1lhZog7

Ready, set, SKETCH!

Whoa — where to begin?? There’s a ton of footage packed into this first look trailer and I couldn’t be more excited. The animation is sharper and more dynamic, there are tons of new faces joining the cast (including a few from ATLA), and hints at a plot that could jump back and forth in time. What do you see? Here are a few moments that jumped out:

:32 – Imprisoned ____? Later in the trailer, we see him airbend!
:38 – Is that Bumi airbending?
:42 – Gal with eye on her forehead. You tell me. What are we looking at?
:47 – Crazy-eyed lady who can waterbend. Instantly thought Azula, but this is a waterbender….
:57 – Is this kid a new airbender or just a follower of the Airbender way? He has a staff…
:59 – I swear this looks like a young Lin Beifong. More flashbacks this season?
1:02 – Yes, Asami action!
1:10 – Jinora, back aestral projecting herself in the spirit world. But a very creepy spirit world.
1:13 – Earth Kingdom evil lady who kind of looks like President Raiko’s gal pal (but isn’t, I know)
1:18 – ZUKO. Da7e just sighed a breath of relief.
1:23 – Another airbender, this time in Earth Kingdom-looking threads.
1:24 – A Dune-like sandworm. I am so ready for more Korra fantasy (rather than tech-heavy Republic City)
1:27 – The evil waterbender returns. She really looks like Azula. Offspring? 1:30 – Jinora falling — noooo!
1:34 – Korra with a whale spirit, recalling Star Trek IV
1:40 – Zuko in action. Most excellent.
1:45 Evil Waterbending lady leading some nega-Team Avatar. Terrifying.

What did I miss? What are we looking at? Go to town in the comments!

(And please, please, please, if you couldn’t resist the temptation of devouring those leaked episodes do not share what you know about them. We’re not OK with the leaks, and as fans, we want to experience this show as Bryke intended. Again, no episode talk right now.)

Holy cow! Legend of Korra Sound Designer and our friend Ben Wynn (aka Deru) just released his latest album… as a hand-carved wooden video projector! That’s really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to 1979, which combines Ben’s ambient sounds, short films, and an interactive web element to build a fascinating mythology. Ben teased 1979 on our “Sounds of Book 2” podcast, but we highly recommend exploring the album’s companion website and picking up the album in digital, vinyl, or projector form. 1979 is its own brand of cool.

– Patches

Is this the first footage of Book 3: Change? Sure looks it. Savvy Korra fan youpje uploaded a commercial from the Netherlands revealing what appears to be snippets of Book 3 interspersed with shots from Book 1 & 2. Korra spirit-bending water by some vine-covered buildings (inside RC?), Korra in an elevator, a shirtless Tenzin airbending, Team Korra standing outside a zeppelin-esque vehicle, and a mysterious figure riding a dragon. Our friends at ATLA: Annotations are convinced that’s Zuko (and Da7e is praying that it’s Zuko, because if the ATLA character doesn’t appear in Book 3, he’s going to rip his goatee out).

It’s all a bit of a tease, but with production well into Book 4, it shouldn’t be too long until sharper looks and a release date announcement are upon us. SDCC is always a good bet.

What do you make of this footage? Talk to us — it’s been awhile.

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.

“Queen of Future Industries” by Finer

“This is a song Stacy wrote as a fan song for herself for Avatar: The Legend of Korra, but we loved it so much, we play it at all our shows now. We still love Mako and Korra, but Asami is mysteriously epic.”

Follow the band on Twitter HERE.

Thanks for letting us know about it!
