Personally, I didn't notice a steep drop in quality as others did when the episodes were airing. They were filling in for Studio Mir, which animated all of Book One and, later on, Book Two episodes seven, eight and 10 through 14. The first studio was Studio Pierrot, which animated the first six episodes and episode nine.

IGN's Korra: Book One Blu-ray ReviewHowever, there is a downside to the 1080p high-definition video - that is, Book Two was animated by two different studios, resulting in somewhat uneven animation. In terms of video, the lines are clean (with no aliasing), and unlike Book One's mostly brownish palette, Book Two is immensely colorful and vibrant (especially the Spirit World sequences). The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio is top-notch, with an even balance of clear dialogue, dynamic sound effects and, of course, Jeremy Zuckerman's beautiful score.

Sure, Book Two had a few weak points - including a waterbending villain that felt awfully similar to Book One's Amon - but overall, the season was markedly strong.Īs Nickelodeon's only TV series to get the Blu-ray treatment, The Legend of Korra's second home video release features a gorgeous Blu-ray transfer. Not only did it offer amazing insight into the Avatar canon, but it also told a great standalone story with allusions to ancient eastern mythology. That's not to mention Book Two's hour-long episode "Beginnings," which delved into the history of Wan, the very first Avatar (voiced by The Walking Dead's Steven Yeun).
At the same time, we were introduced to a wealth of new characters like Varrick (MVP?), Tonraq, Kya, Bumi, Eska and Desna. The Civil War between the Northern and Southern Water Tribes, for example, added an intriguing element of political drama. Where Book One pretty much all stayed in Republic City, Book Two expanded the show's horizons to include other parts of the Avatar world. Still, there was a lot of good stuff leading up to that moment.
Despite being called "Spirits," it took about nine episodes for Korra to even reach the Spirit World. Of course, many fans would probably call Book Two a slow burn, and, admittedly, it was.
