Story

Korra is a rebellious girl from the Southern Water Tribe. As the Avatar, she has already mastered Waterbending, Earthbending and Firebending. She will learn Airbending from Aang and Katara's son Tenzin. The primary and only confirmed setting is Republic City, a "metropolis powered by steampunk-type technology", "inhabited by people from all four nations". There are Anti-Benders in Republic City who are strongly against the art of bending. Here, Korra must deal with rampant crime and an anti-bender revolt.

A recently leaked video shows what appears to be an unfinished line test from a scene in the upcoming series (screenshot located directly to the right of this section). In this 9-second clip, we see what looks to be Korra fighting two opponents without the use of bending. Actually, she demonstrates various forms and fighting styles that resemble techniques from several bending arts.
In the first panel, Korra is setting up a move that was used several times in Waterbending, specifically a form that involves the turning of an opponent's force against them. Korra uses this form to block herself from her first opponent's attacks, then uses it to destabilize him, allowing her to effectively overwhelm him with a series of jabs and punches aimed at the chest and head. She then transitions into a rooted stance seen in the second panel to finish him off, which is quite similar to the stances used by Earthbenders prior to and during the performance of a move. A second opponent charges immediately following the first opponent's defeat, and Korra continues to use earth-based forms to counter his attacks. We see in the third panel that Korra directs an upward kick towards her opponent's face in order to stun him. This kick is the same move used by Earthbenders to lift boulders, as well as the same form used by Firebenders to create blazing rings and arcs of fire. Another Firebending-inspired move is seen in the fourth panel, where we see Korra utilizing a move similar to the one Zuko used to throw Azula off her balance during their Agni Kai.

This clip has not been confirmed to be legitimate, although the fact that it originated in Korean studios and that it bears striking similarities to the concept designs used in the first series suggests that this is a reliable clip

Not a lot of stuff but it's better than necroing the other thread.

Supposedly it starts this November and runs 12 or 13 episodes, it's a mini-series.

She's been training for years so..yeah, dem shoulders.

We knew she was going to be pretty buff even from the first picture we saw.

I remember seeing that video a while ago. Can't wait.

[Rulke]

Hell yes on this! As long as the writing and animation quality is on par with the first series; this will be total win!

[zoobernut]

I'm actually pretty excited for this. Hope they don't fuck it up like the movie did the name...

Well this new series is made by the same two guys who did the first series and from what I read (I forget where since it was a long time ago) they are using the same animation studio and many of the same writers as they did for the first series.

The movie sucked so bad because it was made by Shamalamadingdong and the creators of the show had nothing to do with it.

Hopefully they don't mess up their own creation.

[Dantrag]

I doubt they will. I hope it ends up spanning a larger time frame than they currently have it at(12 eps was it?).

Thinking Mako may be Zuko's decendant kind of like a tribute to Uncle's VA.

I have to keep reminding myself not to have unrealistic expectations so I won't be disappointed when this comes out. With images like that it is pretty difficult.
