Product Description
From the creators of the Award-winning Avatar: The Last Airbender, comes a new TV series that continues the exciting adventures of element bending. When Avatar Aang passes, he is reincarnated as a girl named Korra, from the Southern Water Tribe. Against the wishes of her guardians, Korra leaves the safety of her home to travel to Republic City. Before long, Korra’s Avatar skills are put to the test when she encounters a group of Chi-blockers led by a masked man named Amon. With his Equalists followers, Amon plots to gain control over Republic City and ultimately rid the world of the “impurity” of bending. Korra and her friends will stop at nothing to capture him, leading to an Avatar adventure like nothing before in Legend of Korra: Book One: Air!

Or perhaps not. While the original series left a great deal of room to continue the narrative -- most pressing, for example, the need to repopulate the Air nation before the next time it came up in the Avatar cycle -- the creators, perhaps wisely, decided to focus on a new avatar, and thus a new age. How perfect is it that Aang's successor would come of age in their world's industrial revolution? It's the same world with a new flavor that builds directly from the old in the perfect way. Michael and Bryan turned their leftovers into a gourmet meal whose only shortcoming is that the portions are a little too small. Nickelodeon's hesitation to produce a full season isn't really that mysterious; A:TLA was the childrens' equivalent of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, minus the pre-existing fan base. What could the odds have been that the creative team could reproduce their first success? And yet how, in good faith, could they deny them the opportunity to try?
Korra comes of age in a world no longer at war. The Fire Nation, under Fire Lord Zuko, has renounced its empire and the nations have begun to co-mingle. Meanwhile, technology has flourished during Aang's lifetime in the same way it did after the turn of our century, and so the wealthy have cars, and factories have begun mass producing what was once only hand-crafted. Radio is a thing, and TV is probably right on its heels. Bending is still around, but benders are now no longer saddled with the burdens of greater responsibility, and the effect has been that benders and non-benders are two sides of a burgeoning caste system, and this series doesn't shy away from it: it embraces it as the basis for great storytelling. The non-benders have noticed. There are professional bending sports that non-benders can only watch, for example, and we gradually see political rallies demanding that benders... well, it's a little like X-Men, what with the whole Mutant Registration Act, only Asian-y*.
The characterization and the existing mythology are seamless. Korra, especially, is a fantastic, dynamic character, perhaps as different from Aang as anyone could be. Aang's son, put-upon and passionate, features prominently and we get a taste of what the rebuilt Air tribe will be like. In fact, the show does an excellent job of making you feel the effect Aang and his companions had on the world, both overtly and subtly. Overt - all the statues, the children of the original show's cast being relevant to the story in some way. Subtle - widespread use of things created during the original, like metal-bending, and the social blending of nations. We meet a pair of siblings, one of whom is a firebender, the other an earthbender.
Essentially, Legend of Korra works very well on its own -- good story, engaging characters, cohesive narrative and tight but thorough exposition -- and just as well as a continuation of the Avatar epic. I can't wait for the next season.
* A downside of A:TLA and LoK is that despite the Asian-centric mythology, the voice actors are predominantly white. I love Mae Whitman, but I can't help but feel they might have been able to find more Asian voice performers than Mako and George Takei. It doesn't so much detract from the work as it does stand as an example that we may not be quite there yet. I don't want to associate it with the live-action movie, but this is probably the only problem both iterations share.
Even though this is just a kids show (but still enjoyable for pretty much anyone), it boldly faces social issues up front and the first season is based off of inequality. The writers also bring in corruption to the mix along with power and the effects of it on a person. But these messages come in a way that everyone can understand and aren't upfront and blunt like a equality march or school textbook, but rather flow with the plot and help to further the characters in their journeys.
On the setting and animation, the picture and show are basically the animation as the previous series, except this is mainly set in a city and just like the previous series mechanical or modern equipment or things look really computer animated rather than draw out. That doesn't detract from this though, its just a little different. On the point of setting, most of the series takes place in Republic city as opposed to the countryside as in the Last Airbender.
The only real complaint I can express is that Korra seems to get beat up A LOT more than Aang did. In nearly every episode she is struggling to find her way, survive ,escape, fight, you name it. Aang could always outwit his opponents and get away, but Korra always seems to be just below par compared to her enemies. She usually ends up being saved but the circumstances seem a little hard to believe or lucky. Aside from that little detail, I have no complaints unless you watch the VERY last scene in the entire series in season 4. personally not a fan of that but I guess that's just the times we live in. Overall this is a must watch even if you've never seen the original Avatar or you just clicked on this by accident. Its really amazing how good this show is, regardless of who you are.

J'ai vu les épisodes en HD et c'est donc, tout naturellement, que je voudrais les acheter en Blu Ray. Cependant suivant les sites, les informations sont contradictoires. Certains disent que le coffret Blu Ray est dé-zoné est donc visionable en France et d'autres (dont Amazon) que c'est une zone A/1 réservé aux USA.
Avant de faire cet achat, je voudrais donc m'assurer que je pourrais le regarder.
Merci pour vos réponses
P.S: Même question pour le Book 2 ^^
En España, sólo han editado la serie en DVD, así que no está en HD, y lo han partido en dos volúmenes. Y aún podemos dar gracias, porque la primera serie de Avatar no la hemos visto por aquí.
At first I was going to purchase the official UK release, As I was impressed at the proposed retail price,.. However,
After reading several reviews I came to understand that the UK box only contained the first 6 episodes, It was at this point my OCD kicked in, As for just a few pounds more I could own the complete series on US import,
Lets face it, If you have a Player that can handle import disc's and the price between the various regions is within an acceptable amount to the individual, why pay £xx for half a box series when for 2 or 3 £xx more you can have a complete set, I know I would be a fool not to,
Overall the packaging is a standard DvD perspex box with an inside divider for 2 disc's, it has an embossed card sleeve jacket that the box slides out of, quality of the video and audio are as to be expected with a modern day animation, sharp an clear, I have no regrets in my purchase.
