Looks like an animated sequel is in the making for Avatar: The Last Airbender.
It'll take place 70 years after Airbender
Pretty excited about this, particularly with all the negative live-action drama pissing on the cartoon.
You can find some rumors here, and with Comic-Con starting soon more details should come forward:

Super psyched.
Assuming Korra is the Avatar after Aang. Wondering how they're going to get around the lack of Airbenders since the series never resolved that particular plot point.
That city looks industrial as hell.
Seems like she'll be taught by Aang's son.Originally Posted by DarthEnder
she might as well be his granddaughter...
not enough information to tell, but still, I'm not as excited as I thought I'd be.
I'd probably have been more excited if it was more of Aang's group. But this is the next best thing I think.
This looks really badass, looking forward to it.
So Aang has a son? Does this mean he gets it on with Katara? >_>
Yeah its their son. The series will apparently have flash backs to the characters from the original show, there will apparently be some relationship aside just learning from Aang's son. The setting takes place in Republic city where benders and non-benders of from all 4 nations reside (well I can't really speak for the air-benders). Apparently the plot will revolve around non-benders revolting against benders.
holy crap this sounds awesome. thanks for the heads up man!

maybe some of the original cast will still be alive?
Aang, obviously not (maybe if they do a buffy death?). but the rest of the crew can still be alive.
Bummi lived almost 120 years, so Toph being alive (almost 90?) would be reasonable. The non-benders against benders plot... well, not that impressed.

Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Is the first Avatar-show really that good? I never watched it because the character-design always looked so uber-generic, as well as the theme of fighting with elemental powers. Always came off as totally lame to me. Is there some good anime that youŽd compare Avatar to?
Just give it a shot. I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but its worth looking into, certainly.
Flame of Recca? Even then, it's not that much alike.
I also had a problem with the series,
my first impressions were from the "lets go to the zoo"ish filler episode, and from a lousy DS game (yay! lets hunt for EXP!).
after hearing some very good things about the show, I decided to check it out. I think it's biggest selling point is how colorful the world is.
animes like it? maybe a tad bit of slayer, without the non-stop comedy, and a more down-to-earth story (still saving the world, just not from UBER DEMONS!), with more focus on characters.
that's nothing like slayers, I know. but that's the style.

Maybe in some ways similar to Moribito? Similar in the way they both seem to great at building elaborate worlds. with thorough, detailed characters and concepts.
I mean, Avatar is still a kids show, and you can tell. But don't let the heavy Nickelodeon-style humor turn you away from the great characters and scenario. I can't think of any anime that covers "fighting with elemental powers" as great as this one does. I wouldn't call it a favorite of mine, but I'd definitely recommend the series to you.

Even with Aang dead, he's probably the character you'd see the most. When you consider how much Avatar Roku appeared in A:TLA despite being dead.
If Korra is the next Avatar, I'm sure we'll have all kinds of conversations with a cool ghost Aang.
The difference was Avatar was probably the first American cartoon in a decade that older children/parents could watch with their younger siblings/kids and not only still enjoy it, but probably get more out of it than the younger ones do.
It had great universal appeal by using a mix of slapstick humor, great action, philosophical and ethical episodes, romance subplots, and strong character development. It was well balanced at that too. For every comedy-centered episode, there was a serious plot twist to balance it out. For the most part, it wasn't even separated like that, the episode worked in the humor without it seeming out of place.
I hope they don't try to go too "edgy" or "dark" with the sequel, but to me it sounds like suppressing the rebellion will only be a few episodes, maybe a two-parter, not the whole season. It should work out pretty nicely.
Can anyone give me a hand in finding some high quality eps of the first season? I'd like to give it a try.
the avatar portal has them all online in decent quality. http://www.theavatarportal.org/Watch-Episodes.php . for downloading, my favourite site for finding torrents is isohunt.
i'm super psyched about korra. i love the original show, but picking up again with the original characters would've been overkill, since their story is done. mike and bryan can do no wrong as far as i'm concerned, and i can't wait to hear more about it
Sorta. Aang's people are still extinct. Zuko is still looking for his mother, and Toph never did reconcile with her parents.
Also, Space Sword is missing!
They left a lot of threads hanging.
I think you can just watch it on Hulu or something.
