The
animated series sequel to the hit Nickelodeon show Avatar: The
Last Airbender lands on Blu-ray disc in one set as The Legend
Of Korra: The Complete Series (2012 - 2015) with all four seasons
(known here as 'books' and reviewed in detail separately in all four
parts elsewhere on this site). which include Book One: Air,
Book Two: Spirits, Book Three: Change, and Book Four:
Balance. This is a great watch for anime fans and fantasy
fans in general as there are plenty of colorful characters and unique
fighting sequences that will hold a child's attention as well as an
adults.
The
show centers around the next Avatar, who is a waterbender from the
Southern Water Tribe named Korra. The seasons follow her journeys to
Republic City to master the sacred art of Airbending so that she can
the Equalistics - who are starting a revolution against all that she
stands for.
The
Legend of Korra features the voice talents of Janet Varney, David
Faustino, Seychelle Gabriel, J.K. Simmons, Mindy Sterling, and Dee
Bradley Baker. Directors for the episodes include Joaquim Dos
Santos, Ki Hyun Ryu, Melchior Zwyer, Ian Graham, Colin Heck, and
Michael Dante DiMartino.
Presented
in 1080p high definition with a widescreen aspect ratio of 1.78:1,
the image presentation is comparable to a digital broadcast release
only sharper. There is no doubt that this is the most detailed look
at the show you can get. The sound mix is impressive and a step up
from the broadcast with a DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) lossless 5.1 track
that doesn't disappoint.
There
are over five hours worth of special features on the disc which
include various featurettes, audio commentaries and more that will
satisfy fans. Also included is the Blu-ray-only book: The Art
of the Animated Series, which is included in the release.
Fans
of the show won't want to miss this release, nor will fans of Avatar:
The Last Airbender.
