Avatar Rewatch 2018

Avatar: the Last Airbender and Avatar: the Legend of Korra. Great writing, dynamic characters, a deep world, and gorgeous animation… both have cast a long shadow, and have die hard fans to this day.

I’ve rewatched both of these shows numerous times, but usually by myself. So I thought: what if a bunch of us did it together? As a community?

That’s what this blog is all about. Getting as many people as possible, fans old and new, watching and celebrating these two groundbreaking shows all at roughly the same time. Reminiscing, sharing art and fiction, all the things we did when the shows were new. We do that already, but now we’ll be able to do it at the same time!

Here’s the plan:

March: 1st-10th: AtLA: Book 1 11th-20th: AtLA Book 2 21st-31st: AtLA Book 3 April: 1st-7th: LoK Book 1 8th-14th: LoK Book 2 15th-21st: LoK Book 3 22nd-28th: LoK Book 4 This comes to about two episodes per day – less than an hour! If you miss some and catch up, that’s fine. If you just join for your favorites, that’s fine too!

This is all supposed to be in good fun! Participate as much as you like, in whatever way you want! But from time to time, it serves us well to revisit our old favorites–and it’s rare when your old favorites hold up. These shows do. Follow this blog for news, feel free to submit suggestions or ask for details, and hey–make it fun! :D

Day 8 is a– wait for it– doozy!

Today’s reveal in The Legend of Korra: Pro-bending Arena Kickstarter is the Amon Invasion expansion pack, in which there are new game modes including one that recreates the events of Book One: Air Chapter Six: And the Winner Is…, where you can fight the Equalists as a team, or go one-on-one Korra vs. Amon.

The expansion comes with an Amon figurine and four chiblocker figurines, as well as boards for Amon and the Equalists, and Korra as the Avatar*! Plus special box art, decks, and more– find out all the details here.

*If you look closely, it appears there are two version of the Avatar Korra board, one featuring Raava and Korra in the Avatar state, and one with elemental symbols and Korra not in the Avatar state.

This is a $30 add-on, and now would be a good time to remind you that all these extras being revealed are only available in the deluxe Kickstarter version that you get for pledging $65. The campaign closes on September 29th so if you want the extra teams and characters and/or the Amon Invasion expansion pack you have 9 days left! After that, the game will be sold retail without the deluxe extras for a lower price. Amon Invasion will also be sold retail for $35.

More reveals coming! And if all these posts are a bit hard to keep track of, have no fear because we’ll have a masterpost covering everything when the campaign ends next week.

The Legend of Korra: Pro-bending Arena Kickstarter is open! Back it here!

IDW Games has finally unveiled everything for The Legend of Korra: Pro-bending Arena, and it looks amazing!!! Check out the official Kickstarter page here for all the information and awesome promotional imagery and be sure to back it!

The campaign has already been fully funded in less than 3 hours, which is AMAZING, but there’s still incentive to pledge because backers will get a bunch of awesome upgrades including 7 expansion teams. The upgrades will be unveiled daily over the following couple of weeks so stay tuned.

Some tidbits of information:

The game is set during Book One: Air.

The figurines and artwork look amazing. The figurines have beautiful level of detail and actually look like the characters. The poses and bending are really cool.

The figurines aren’t painted but the option is there if you want to do it yourself which could be really fun.

Tahno’s figurine is holding a rose (fun fact: did you know Tahno was voiced by Rami Malek?)

In the game you can cheat (like the Wolfbats did in the finals)– attempting to do so means you roll the referee dice to see if you’re caught and get the yellow fan or not.

And again, SEVEN expansion teams!!!

Overall I highly recommend you check out all the content on the Kickstarter page. It explains all the rules, everything included in the set, backing and upgrade information, and tons of awesome visuals.

Hopefully this is the start of a long relationship between Avatar and IDW Games resulting in lots more awesome products in the future!

Delivery for The Legend of Korra: Pro-bending Arena is estimated for February 2018.

The Pipa, played ‘modern’ and ‘traditional’ style.

If you compare the way the pipa is played, by Jee and by the students, you will notice that they are holding the instrument differently.

Fire Nation School style - traditional Jee - modern

I know it is counter-intuitive (to the Western eye) that the ‘guitar style’ is the older way, but the upright way, like Jee is playing, is the modern way of playing the pipa.

The pipa is held in a vertical or near-vertical position during performance, although in the early periods the instrument was held in the horizontal position, or near-horizontal with the neck pointing slightly downwards.[10][12] Through time, the neck was raised gradually and by the Qing Dynasty the instrument was played upright.

Note: The Fire Nation using Tang Dynasty style is actually amazing continuity, since a lot of the Fire Nation is taken from said dynasty e.g. armor.

Every so often my old tarot drawing of Yue gets a couple more notes and I cringe, so I felt like it was about time to replace it with a redraw.
