Description The Legend of Korra: Beginnings 1 & 2 was great!!! The first avatar was everything I hoped him to be, and did I mention goatee ?! Surely, I'm not the only one to notice many loving tributes to Hayao Mizayaki movies. Now here's something from me.

i am writing a story, and its coming along, i had this idea where i would ask different artists (those i deem worthy) to do one drawing for it, if you are interested, tell me in a reply, and i will tell you about the story and what needs to be drawn, and in return, i will send you a copy of the finished product. sound good?

There's no relation, but I think it's still cool.

The parallels between the two are uncanny: Both banished and set out on a journey in an act of duty with a deer companion in search of spiritual help, and in the process change their entire world.

OMG there were SOOOOO many miyazaki tributes in Beginnings 1 & 2! It was hilarious. I think most of them were from spirited away and princess mononoke

No, you were not the only one who noticed that these two episodes reference a lot from Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. The creators of this series did stated that they were inspired by Hayao Miyazaki works, too, and it definitely shows more with Wan's story.

Anyway, awesome work here with your fan art.

The similarities between the two struck me as well! I think it's beautiful how you chose to bring this idea about.

Ha-ho, those are some nice comparison right there - I'd never thought their would be some parallels between the two.

Did anyone else notice that Wan also got his bending powers in the exact order of the benders who become avatar:fire, air, water and earth.


Now we also know the plan Unolok has in store. I cannot wait for the lemur spirit toreturn, see Korra and be like "stinky? you turned into a girl!"

Jeez! This episode was absolutely stunning! Great landscapes, great music (hello Avatar soundtrack) and yeah, Wan and Mula definitely made me think about Ashitaka and YakuruΒ  and also the spirits which seem to come straight out from Spirited Away!)

Gosh, long time I haven't enjoy the show that much!

Were you also reminded of spirited away for some reason when you saw the parade of spirits?

No doubt, one of my favorite was the carrot parody of the radish spirit from the bath house

I really need to rewatch Princess Monokoke sometime soon.
