Visually, Korra is striking. It's full of little tricks and nuances that only true fans will notice and savor, but nothing prevents civilians from enjoying it as well. The same holds for the mythology.
When her Airbender training is postponed, Korra travels to Republic City, where Aang's son Tenzin lives, so he can teach her. And that's when the fun begins.
This season was jam packed with introductions to characters and setting, but it was such an enjoyable watch. It was a brief but fun season. The equalists were an interesting group and would've loved to have explored them more.
I wasn't expecting much from this, I had seen a few episodes of the original series and it didn't stick with me but Legend of Korra left me wanting more. After watching the four seasons, I can say that this is without a doubt my favorite "anime" of all time.
The story of Korra is good, but weak compared to its predecessor. There is not much imitation and lack of plot of each chapter, passing in each episode is the desire to end soon without having emotion in them. But I liked the images and the topics covered.
I love the voice acting cast and the animation is right on par with the original Avatar. Sadly, The story is not. It's interesting and then it kind of fades in the final episodes right on down to the very anti-climactic season finale. It's also annoyingly quite predictable at times and the pro-bending fights took up too much of the run time during earlier episodes rather than establishing more of a story.
This show is so awful compared to ATLA I almost don't know where to begin. 1) Korra is a completely cliche static character-- headstrong, feminist and obnoxious. She never changes, never learns, and yet everything is handed to her throughout the show.
2) No suspense-- the protagonists are captured dozens of times and they always escape. It's like watching a James Bond movie with idiotic serial villains who never achieve anything.
3) Character inconsistencies -- Amon's character is completely altered at the end of the season for a haphazard conclusion. This is just one of many.
4) There are a great number of plot inconsistencies to the point that it becomes very jarring. I can't go into detail without spoiling anything. 5) The love triangle that persists throughout just stalls the story and never resolves or ties in.
The visuals and voice acting were good, however. Not much of a bonus, nut the initial setting was very interesting and had a lot of potential.
