New airbenders are also introduced in the season including the young thief Kai Skyler Brigmann and Suyin's daughter Opal Alyson Stoner , both of Earth Kingdom origins and the love interests of Jinora and Bolin respectively. Jim Meskimen voices a Republic City merchant and later airbender named Daw, as well as Suyin's husband, the architect Baatar.
Philece Sampler voices the aged Toph Beifong, another returning character from Avatar whose young adult version was voiced by Kate Higgins in Books 1 and 3. The art design of Republic City, described as 'if Manhattan had happened in Asia,' was inspired by the s and incorporates influences from American and European architecture from that time period.
The design for the metalbending police force is based on s New York City police uniforms, crossed with samurai armor. The fighting styles employed by characters in the prequel show Avatar: The Last Airbender were derived from different distinct styles of Chinese martial arts. The pro-bending sport introduced in the series was inspired by mixed martial arts MMA tournaments. MMA fighters Jeremy Humphries and Mac Danzig were credited with 'providing a lot of the moves you'll see in the Probending arena,' and Steve Harada and Jake Huang provided the stylized flips and acrobatics of 'tricking' to the series' fighting style.
To illustrate the length of the production process about 10 to 12 months per episode [33] and the overlap of the various phases, Konietzko wrote in July that their team was already developing the storyboards for the first episode of Book 4 while the last episodes of Book 2 were not yet finished. It was originally due for release in October The premiere was eventually delayed to April 14, According to animation director Yoo Jae-myung, Nickelodeon was initially reluctant to approve the series and suspended production because, unlike in almost all American animated series, the protagonist was a girl.
The creators eventually persuaded the channel's executives to change their mind. Konietzko related that in test screenings, boys said that Korra being a girl did not matter to them: 'They just said she was awesome. The creators wrote all of the episodes of the first season themselves, omitting 'filler episodes' to allow for a concise story.
The second season, Book Two: Spirits , premiered on September 13, and concluded on November 22, It consists of fourteen episodes. Animation work was done by the South Korean animation studio Studio Mir as well as the Japanese animation studio Pierrot. Pierrot was eventually called in to fill the void and animate Book 2. Yoo feared that, if Book 2 failed, Studio Mir and Korean animators would have their reputations tarnished for Pierrot's failures.
Consequently, Studio Mir accepted the offer and worked alongside Pierrot. The third season, Book Three: Change , aired its first three episodes on June 27, , soon after some episodes were leaked online.
Episodes nine to thirteen were streamed online, rather than being broadcast as a television program. Book Four: Balance , the final season, was produced in parallel to the previous two seasons.
The crew, at one point, worked on approximately 30 episodes at the same time: post-production for season 2, production for season 3 and pre-production for season 4. After Nickelodeon cut the season's budget by the amount required for one episode, DiMartino and Konietzko decided to include a clip show, which reuses previously produced animation, as episode 8 'Remembrances' instead of dismissing many of the creative staff.
Concerning the development of the much-discussed final scene intended to show the friends Korra and Asami becoming a romantic couple, Bryan Konietzko explained that at first he and DiMartino did not give the idea much weight, assuming they would not be able to get approval for portraying their relationship.
But during the production of the finale they decided to test that assumption, approached the network and found them supportive up to a certain limit. They decided to change the final scene from Korra and Asami only holding hands to also facing each other in a pose referencing the marriage scene a few minutes prior.
The Legend of Korra was produced mainly as traditional animation, with most frames drawn on paper in South Korea by the animators at Studio Mir and scanned for digital processing. Each episode comprises about 15, drawings. While The Legend of Korra was produced in the United States and therefore not a work of Japanese animation 'anime' in the strict sense, The Escapist magazine argued that the series is so strongly influenced by anime that it would otherwise easily be classified as such: its protagonists a superpowered heroine, her group of talented, supporting friends, a near-impervious villain who wants to reshape the world , its themes family, friendship, romance, fear, and death and the quality of its voice acting as well as the visual style are similar to those of leading anime series such as Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood , Bleach or Trigun.
The series mostly abstains from using the visual tropes characteristic of anime, but does occasionally use exaggerated facial expressions to highlight emotions for comic effect.
As in Avatar , the series adds to its Asian aesthetic by presenting all text that appears in its fictional world in traditional Chinese characters, without translating it. For The Legend of Korra , Zuckerman is the sole composer while Wynn is the lead sound designer; the two collaborate with Foley artist Aran Tanchum and showrunner Mike DiMartino on the soundscape of the series.
On that basis, Zuckerman composed a score combining elements of Dixieland, traditional Chinese music and Western orchestration. It is performed mainly by a string sextet and various Chinese solo instruments, [58] including a dizi flute , paigu drums , a guqin and a Mongolian matouqin. It was broadcast in other countries on the local Nickelodeon channels beginning in August The season ended on November 22, The third season Book Three: Change began airing on Nickelodeon in the United States on June 27, , also on Friday evenings, two episodes at a time.
The broadcast was announced one week in advance after several episodes of the new season were leaked on the Internet. After the first seven episodes aired to low ratings, Nickelodeon removed the last five episodes from its broadcast schedule.
The remainder of the episodes were then distributed online via Amazon Video, Google Play, Xbox Video and Hulu as well as the Nickelodeon site and apps.
The Legend of Korra is broadcast subtitled or dubbed on Nickelodeon channels outside of the U. In Germany, the first and second seasons received a German-language broadcast on Nickelodeon Germany. The third and fourth seasons are broadcast in on the German Nicktoons pay TV channel. A fandub project to complete the French dub was launched in According to the Board, the reason was that these series were 'glorifying homosexual behavior'.
