Legend of Korra

[Lester C.]

Avatar: The Last Airbender is streaming on Netflix if you want to take a look at it. It has plot, character development, humor, action, tension, great art and voice work, accessible to a wide age group ... it's the total package as far as I'm concerned.

I'm sure it is, I'm not knocking it. I just prefer anime that is skewed to an adult rather than an all ages audience. That said I'm interested in this show because the character is an adult, or very close to it, and it seems to be a 26 episode story driven anime series with heart and budget and I go crazy for those. Once the whole series is out on Bluray I plan on watching as much of the first episode as I legally can on youtube and buying it outright if I like it.

Not knowning anything about Avatar, I have to admit when I saw Korra I thought she was white. Thankfully Spiffy cleared it up with the post below yours.

Some of the scenes she appears a LOT lighter than others. It's just lighting, but the fanart community is a mess right now because of it.

The first ep is already available for free legal screening, you have no reason not to watch it.

A word from one of the creators on the issue of Korra being female:

“Some Nickelodeon executives were worried, says Konietzko, about backing an animated action show with a female lead character. Conventional TV wisdom has it that girls will watch shows about boys, but boys won’t watch shows about girls. During test screenings, though, boys said they didn’t care that Korra was a girl. They just said she was awesome.”

Hopefully other producers will pay attention.

And this just in: The show was Nick's most watched animated premiere in three years. Take that, idea that girl led shows won't draw viewers.

That is pretty badass

Here's a clip for this week episode:

It's not anime. All-ages does not necessarily mean 'crap'. Avatar is a fantastic, involved story, and if you miss out on it because you've labeled it to be something you don't like, it's your loss.

I never once mentioned that avatar was crap or in any way disparaged the show. I just mentioned that programs that are all ages don't appeal to me beyond that I would never review a product I haven't tested because I find it highly unethical when people do that.

Can't seem to get the Korra episodes to load on my PC. I have the latest version of Flash, but it's just showing the black buffering screen. Every video on the site, except for full episodes work. Any idea why this may be happening folks?

How fast is your web browser? If your browser is slow then the video is going to load much faster than you can watch it and it will freeze untill it loads no matter how expensive your PC is or what you have on the machine. When this happened with my old server I'd start the video, pause it, and do something else for a while then start the play button once the clip was ready to play. Anyway you can test your pc speed at the link below.

Not even that. I had it for like a halt hour and
It simply was just the loading screen. Play wouldn't even work.
