Quick Important Blog Post: "Legend of Korra Book 2: Spirits" will premiere tomorrow!
11:47 PM
Since
I am an anime/manga fan, it is very rare for me to go crazy over Western
animation series. The last time I did that was with “Avatar: The Last Airbender”
and I got addicted to it because of the story and characters. And because I
still love it, I am reading the comics that narrate about what happened after
the series---and it is still on-going. Apart from that, I was never into other
Western animation series.
Until “The Legend of Korra” came.

For
those who are not familiar, “The Legend of Korra” is the sequel to the “Avatar:
The Last Airbender” that is set 60 years after and “follows Avatar Korra as she
travels to the metropolis of Republic City to learn airbending and face an
anti-bender revolutionary group called the "Equalists".” (Source:
Wikipedia – The Legend of Korra). It was
created by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, the same people who
created “Avatar: The Last Airbender”. And since I was addicted to the prequel,
I was super excited for the sequel though there were some mixed emotions
because “Avatar” garnered millions of positive reviews and have a large
fanbase. I was worried that LoK might turn out bad or crappy.
Good thing I was wrong.
Just
like “Avatar: The Last Airbender”, I became addicted to “The Legend of Korra”
where the Book 1 ran from April 14 to June 23, 2012. I was so in love with the
story and characters that I followed almost every “Korra” blogs in Tumblr and
did a lot of posts and reblogs. As if that wasn’t enough, I decided to cosplay Asami
Sato---my favorite character from the series.
“Asami Sato is the only child of the
former wealthy industrialist, Hiroshi Sato.
Although a non-bender, when she discovered that her father was working
with the Equalists and he invited her to join him, she stuck to her beliefs and
turned against him, later becoming part of the new Team Avatar.” (Source:
Avatar Wiki – Asami Sato)”
It
was (I think) one of my few cosplays that I did out of the blue and really had
my costume made as soon as I had the time. I super admire and love Asami as she
is someone that I really want to be: strong, a fighter, and independent. I was happy
when I found out some of my cosplay friends also wanted to do a Legend of Korra
cosplay photoshoot and had it done last October 2012. And here are the results
of the shoot:

While
I became lie-low in the Korra fandom the past months because I haven’t been
active in Tumblr too, my love for the series never died down. I was always looking
out for news on when Book 2/Season 2 will come out since it has been more than
a year since Book 1/Season 1 stopped.
Then
at August 15, 2013, “The Legend of Korra: Book Two” premiere date was revealed.
It will premiere on Friday, September 13 at 7pm on Nickelodeon in American
time. Here in my country, if my calculations are correct, that will be seven ‘o
clock in the morning. After hearing this, I got so excited that I suddenly did
some reblogs and posts on Korra in my Tumblr. I was super happy that in just a
month, I will be able to watch Book 2 and know more about what happened not
just to the characters of ATLA, but also on what the Team Avatar will be
experiencing next. The Book 2 is entitled “Spirits”, so most likely the
characters will have adventures involving the spirit world and is connected to
Korra being the Avatar.
And
finally, September 13 will be here. Despite the fact that I will watch “The
Legend of Korra: Book Two” online around Saturday morning, I am still excited
for its premiere. And the best part? It is a one-hour special premiere—which
means I’ll be watching two episodes instead of one. :D If you check my Tumblr,
you will see a lot of Korra-related posts than my usual---that’s how excited I
am!
So
if you haven’t watched “The Legend of Korra: Book One”, you can still catch up this
weekend before watching Book 2. For those who have watched it and are waiting
for its premiere tomorrow, let’s wait together! I will probably write about the
premiere this weekend after I have watched it. :D
For
now, I leave you with this (sorry for the crappy editing hehe):
