Description Something I need to put up on this group first. In honor of the memory of the great Mako Iwamatsu, who was the voice of Uncle Iroh on Avatar the Last Airbender. Today is the anniversary of his death. Take a moment to think about how he impacted both Avatar the Last Airbender and Legend Of Korra.

Mako Iwamatsu - December 10, 1933 — July 21, 2006

--------------------------

Alright. So this is the majority of the commentary they made while they were showing the concept art! Unfortunately, the concept art itself wasn’t recorded in the video - it just shows the panel talking. Also the first few pics with the Water Tribe festival are missing.

Wonder if Mako in LoK was named after him? This is probably a stupid question and has already been answered somewhere >.>

Rest in Peace Mako, we'll never forget you.

Y'know speaking of the fire nation and General Iroh I, I had a dream about a month or so ago that I had kids, and they had come to love Avatar: The Last Airbender. They loved it so much they actually asked me if we could have "Authentic Avatar food" for dinner sometime.

Well naturally I couldnt ACTUALLY get foods fresh from the four nations (though that would be awesome beyond all meaning of the word), but there were other ways of making dishes from the four nations...

I looked up the different foods the four nation used and I came up with four different meals based on the foods eaten in the four nations. I told the kids we'd not only have an Avatar food day, but FOUR, one for each nation.

The first day was Water Tribe Wednesday, on which we had...

Seaweed Noodle Soup, Boiled fish (cause they steam or boil fish in the water tribe), and Blubbered Seal Jerky (which was actually just regular jerky), with water to drink.


the next day was "Earth Kingdom Thursday"

on which we had Roast Chicken, white rice, bread rolls, cabbage (in honor of the Cabbage Merchant), Mango fruit smoothies to drink, and Rare Jennamite (plain ol' green rock candy in honor of King Bumi) for dessert.

the next day was "Fire Nation Friday"

on which we had Komodo Rhino Meat (which was actually just steak with a few added spices to make it a little spicy, fried rice, and lettuce. (Let us leave! .....Lettuce Leaf? *eats lettuce leaf*) The kids had fruit juice with a slice of peach in it (in honor of Master Piandao), while I and the Mrs. had Hot Jasmine tea (in honor of Mako Iwamatsu and General Iroh I).

The final day was "Air Nomad Saturday"

on which we had authentic Ramen noodles with vegetables in it, Bananas/Apple's (depending on what the kids wanted), with Monk Gyatso's Fruit Pie (Angel Food cake with strawberries and colored whipped cream so it actually LOOKED like one of his fruit pies.


If my future kids (god willing I'll have some my own someday) actually do come to like the show (and I do plan on showing it to them cause I'm gonna try to get all the season box sets, I might actually do that...I might tweak a few things here and there, but...yeah.

Man talking about food's made me hungry...

Iroh's son wasn't Mako XD His name was Lu Ten. It said "Memory of Mako" Because it was talking about the voice actor.

PolyMune In reply to AvatarTaggerung [2012-07-22 17:29:46 +0000 UTC]

yes they named Mako after the passing of Mako, iroh's voice actor (they confirmed that awhile before LOK came out). They even had a couple episodes and tributes to that voice actor. The team cared for him very much it seems.

yeah thats what i was thinking. in "tales of ba sing ss" im pretty sure that Iroh's @ the end says "for Mako" (i could be wrong) but i always thought it was for one of the animator's sons or something.
