This is best exemplified through Meelo, Tenzin’s son. In this sense, it’s a little disappointing that the show’s art style took a step back towards the lighter, kid-friendlier look. Granted, this is a kids show, and the argument may seem redundant in the first place, but there’s no denying this show’s existing teenage and young adult audience, old fans of Avatar grown up or new fans altogether.

By that I mean they went for a brighter art style more similar to Last Airbender that seems more in line with other American animated series and more accessible to younger kids. In Book 2 however, it seemed that the animators went with a… safer look. It seemed as if the show was not only growing up with it’s audience in having an older protagonist, but also delivering a visual style that it’s now older fan base was ready for.Įxhibit A: Dat Lighting Doe… (See gif here) Last Airbender was already masterfully animated and incredibly smooth, but Korra book 1 introduced an art style that was darker, smoother, and more mature than Avatar with a beautiful emphasis on light and shading. One of the things I enjoyed most when transitioning from Last Airbender to Korra was the drastic difference in animation. Probably my smallest complaint, and therefore the one i’ll get out of the way first. I first want to clarify that I still enjoy Korra’s second season and the series in general very much, but I want to explain why it is that I can’t hop on board with those who feel that book 2 was a big improvement over book 1.
Below I will list a few of my major irks with the second season and how I feel they were better represented in the first book. Though the general internet consensus appears to strongly prefer Korra’s second season, or book, I personally found book 1 to be far better than the series’ second effort. While Legend of Korra is no doubt one of the more exceptional animated shows around right now and is in my opinion, a very worthy successor to the great 2000’s series Avatar: The Last Airbender (which I had only recently binge-watched before starting Korra), I have a handful of criticisms about the second season that I felt compelled to share. Note: I wrote this post after deciding to gather all my criticisms of Book 2 in one space so when asked why I prefer the first Book of Legend of Korra, I can refer to this review.
