It should also be pointed out that it's not like anime is a wonderland of Cowboy Bebop clones. There are like, 3 good shows total I can think of that fit that description, and maybe another two or three mediocre ones, over the past 25 years or so.

There are good anime outside of reruns on Toonami/Adult Swim. Honestly. It may be difficult to find when wading through all the dime-a-dozen shonen, cheesecake, and slice-of-life moei stuff that gets put out (presumably because that poo poo is somehow popular), but there are more diamonds in the rough than you're aware of.

All of the music in Korra is just beautiful. Especially the quieter moments. I have no musical expertise, do they use a mandolin quite heavily in the closing credits?

I asked Zuckerman on twitter about this:



I had figured it was some kind of percussion!

I just started watching it yesterday, watched up to Ep 9, so far. I'm going to have this theme song stuck in my head for awhile, aren't I?

The theme is the only part of the show I have no problems with (other than creating unfulfilled expectations of fun, good-time adventure-y stuff and then giving us...EVA). I had to stop watching a couple episodes after the red-head shows up.

As far as we know, Kuvira would not have actually attacked the spirits and even her assault on the Spirit Vines was accidental.

What about her harvesting the Na'Vi spirit grove for a vine supply? I know they don't actually show much of that, but it's not exactly a side-effect of her conquests.

Honestly I feel as if they were the fake kind of gay. Like the t.A.T.u. of children's cartoons. Playing it up you know? Glad that gay hell claimed two more queer souls for the furnace.

The gently caress?

Someone draw Kuvira as Jetstream Sam.

Seeing Kuvira with a huge poo poo-eating grin would be creepy as hell. I need to see this.
