"Legend of Korra", Eastern Views, T.V & Ethics: What Can Christians learn from Anime?

[Zoness]

I'm going to be very disappointed if it turns out that Appa is actually the Avatar.

My hopes and dreams!

Yip yip

Avatar and Shinzo are on my list of the worst animations of all time.

Apparently you haven't seen Loonatics Unleashed.

My hopes and dreams!

Heaven forbid if that were the case....I would throw something at the computer screen....

But it would be cool if Appa were somehow someone powerful behind the scenes like some sort of influential spirit who's pretty hardcore.

They actually made a Hip Hop song on the issue - hilarious as it is.

I'm not really a fan on Appa; he's ripped out of "A Never Ending Story" and he's a bit too convenient when he shows up at the last minute so the heroes can jump on his back and escape.

Yeah - I caught that too the first time I saw it. It's 100% Falcor...and easy escapes do happen a lot. But at the end of the day, I can't hate.

If it happened to be the case that Appa helped me remember my childhood in cartoon form, I'm good with it....as that film always got me emotional.

They already have it where they've thought on battles between the 2 of them...but you can't do that to Falcor...

That is epic

That is epic

I agree. They had a couple of others to my knowledge that I had to give props to...

This might be the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Among the most epic things....and the other videos made by him are amazing:

The quality voice acting is absolutely key! Also yes, book 2 and 3 for the win.

If interested,

As mentioned earlier, they actually made a book series that was a continuation of "The Last Airbender" to show more fully ..

About a quarter of the way through season 2. Just heard Joe Alaskey (Plucky and Daffy etc) as the commoner who made Iroh dance for the gold coin.

How you liking Season 2 thus far?

On Iroh, yes indeed...he is amazing and the scene with the commoner and the gold coin was wild

Definitely liking it. Zoku's arc is the most interesting and his sister seems like the villain you love to hate.

Why is Zoku interesting to you in his arc? Azula is complicated as well, by the way.....

Just met Azula, so other than being really...um...nasty, I don't have much of a backstory to go on.

We know Zoku's supposed to be the bad guy, and yet he's not all bad. He's motivated by his rejection instead of the war, but completely misses his Uncle's care. I see him very slowly switching sides. He's more of an outcast than Aang.

Interesting points, and I agree completely with your assessment so far. I think Zoku is a neat character.

Saw the flash back episode (season 2, episode 7) last night. Hoping to find out more about what happened to Zoku's mother. My hope is that she is still alive somewhere, is rescued by Zoku, then they team up with Iroh again and overthrow the fire lord. That doesn't leave much use for Aang though.

Got ya on that...

Good analysis - as the dynamic of being rejected has led to him doing things which may not be true to what he is really about
