| dis gon b gud.gif So, why are you grouping every single anime out there and comparing it with one American cartoon? |
| S3 and s4 were pretty good but you can't compare Korra to a anime in general. |
  |
| This is gonna turn into a Korra Is An Anime thread watch |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Let's compare how unrealistic Family Guy is to Ping Pong the Animation, then. |
ImmaMuggleYou said: It's not an anime tho >_>Aqua said: S3 and s4 were pretty good but you can't compare Korra to a anime in general. Actually people argue Korra is already an anime, so I don't see why we can't compare the two :P |

| All I can say is that Legend of Korra has better animation than pretty much every anime release these days. Except when Studio Pierrot did a few episodes. |
| Two things I didn't like about Korra. One, that the seasons were not linked by an ongoing plot with one main enemy, as Aang was. Two, I felt like I was in a history lesson many times. A huge amount Korra is based on real life history, and while that was clever of the creators, it got annoying at times. IMO, that's what makes Korra different from many anime; instead of creating something wacky but interesting, it took it right from history. I agree with you when you say sometimes anime can get out of hand. Korra knew the limits to humor. And they did a good job on the humor, whereas some anime will try to make every moment funny and succeed in only some. While I did find how Korra was based on history annoying at times, the fact is basing stuff on history is the surest way to make things seem believable, and Korra was believable. To be honest, I wouldn't go as far as to say Legend of Korra is heavily influenced by anime, the only similarities are the names of some characters and the style. |

ImmaMuggleYou said: "Out of hand and unrealistic" is a characteristic that a percentage of anime very often intentionally are like. This is by no means bad and what you're saying is your personal opinion, which is okay. Anime in general is vast and I think if you resonably want to get anywhere with this thread you should be asking more identified questions. Maybe, "What do you find better in Korra than adventure anime?" I'll leave that to you.I wanted to see what people thought of the show Legend of Korra vs typical animes. Legend of Korra is heavily influenced by animes, however in my opinion Korra does better than what the majority of anime has done today. Legend of Korra is grounded while sometimes animes can get a bit out of hand and unrealistic. What do you guys think? Thank you :) |

ImmaMuggleYou said: Another thing about Korra which I appreciated is that it doesn't do that "fan service animation" like showing a woman's chest and what not. Things like that take away from the storyline and undermines the show and character in my opinion. Well Legend of Korra is aired on Nickelodeon, which is a channel mainly targeted at kids. |

Okay, sorry for not making this as clear. I think the villains were great. However, I hated how they were not connected in any way, except they all wanted Korra for her power, or to take away her power. The seasons were relatively short, and I wanted to expand on the individual villains. Like I remember this was mentioned in the main thread, that the Red Lotus still had followers lurking about. The fourth season didn't really bring that up. In shorter terms, Korra was too short. |

Everything from the inventions developed by Asami's father to the destruction of the spirit vines was based on history. The inventions in Korra mirror the ones in history. The destruction and exploitation of spirit vines by hand of Kuvira was pretty much like destruction of the environment, which continues today. |

tanteiRE said: Zaheer never wanted Korra's power or to take it away he wanted to end the Avatar cycle once and for all by killing her in the Avatar state so that the cycle would end.Kuvira also never wanted Korra's power or to take it away. I agree that the seasons should have been longer so as to have better focused on the villains (mainly Amon , Zaheer and Kuvira). I hope in the future there is a season 5 where the red lotus is brought back into play.DrGeroCreation said: That was one of the best things about it, you got a different main villain each arc.

tanteiRE said: Well yeah cars, airplanes, cameras existed in history but that doesn't mean it's based on a lot of real life history. On the flip side though Asami's father created mechs and there are no real life mechs in history. I think what you don't like is the steampunk setting.DrGeroCreation said: How was it like a History lesson? Korra isn't based a lot on real life history.

ImmaMuggleYou said: hhitagi said: Well Legend of Korra is aired on Nickelodeon, which is a channel mainly targeted at kids. Of course. This doesn't change the fact of what I said though. Lets say if Korra was not restricted by things like that, I'd hope they wouldn't fall into the pit trap. Personaly the best animes I have seen are ones where the fan service is close to none. Guys most anime is directed towards kids difference is sexual content is considered less taboo and more acceptable in Japan. Also I've never watched it but doesn't Korea have an even worse frame rate than most anime? I recall the commercials. Also I think OPs issue is watching too many of the wrong anime. |

Too bad Japan ranks as pretty much the lowest in gender equality for developed nations. No country is perfect they all have flaws. Japan more than makes up for its flaws with its great cinema. |

| The Avatar franchise has done a good job taking influences from anime, but I do have my own personal beef with it though... The first avatar series is my most favorite out of the pair. Everything about that show was just absolutely flawless, though it would be a while before I realized that it was based off anime though. The second one was generally bad, however. LOK just felt poorly written to me tbh. 1st and 2nd seasons were awful tbh due to all the romance subplots and how they gave Aang the shaft. The last two seasons though I enjoyed greatly, if not for Toph's familial issues, I wouldn't have given it the time of day. |

Lash_ said: There are plenty of anime that don't rely on gore and boobs. Why don't you try looking?Korra by far. Why? Because it doesn't need gore and big boobs to be good. A lot of anime suffers from this problem. They rely on eye candy. |

eXtacy67 said: If Airbender and Korra were anime they would easily be in the top 30 Indeed, especially Book 3 of ATLA, just look at Hummingbird which the top 50/100 consist of most of the same series as here in MAL . ATLA book 3 is ranked #10 there. |

eXtacy67 said: Both seasons of Code Geass are in the top 30 so that's not saying much at all.If Airbender and Korra were anime they would easily be in the top 30 |

| I really should watch the rest of korra (only seen the first season of it thus far), but I'm reluctant to do so because I didn't like it at all. I did really like atla though. |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |

The second season is arguably the worst of all 4 seasons so you might have a hard time at first if you would ever watch it again :p |

| Korra is better than majority of anime out there. |
