Okay, You Finished Avatar: The Last Airbender. Now What?!
Congrats! You've just experienced peak television. Avatar: The Last Airbender is amazing, right? Now you're staring at your screen, feeling empty. Don't worry, we've all been there.
But the question remains: What do you watch next?
Option 1: Dive Back In!
The obvious answer? The Legend of Korra. It's the sequel series, duh! We follow Aang's successor, Korra.
She's a whole different Avatar. The world is more modern this time.
But honestly? Unpopular opinion alert! I think The Legend of Korra is…okay. It's good, but it doesn't quite reach The Last Airbender's magic. Don't @ me!
Option 2: Anime Adventures Await
Maybe you loved the bending powers. And the epic fight scenes. Then anime is your friend!
Try Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It's got alchemy instead of bending, but the story is fantastic. The characters are unforgettable.
Or how about Hunter x Hunter? Trust me, it's worth the initial slow burn. It has Nen, a power system that's similar to bending.
Option 3: Western Animation Wonders
Don't think anime is the only way to go! There are some amazing western animated shows too.
Ever heard of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power? It's a reboot of an 80s cartoon. But it's got a great story and diverse characters. Plus, the animation style is beautiful.
Or what about Steven Universe? It is packed with heart. It's also has catchy songs, so bonus points for that!
Option 4: Embrace the Darkness
Maybe you loved the journey. The growth the characters experienced. So let's get into darker material!
Arcane is a masterpiece. It is set in the League of Legends universe. But you don't need to know anything about the game to enjoy it.
The animation is incredible, and the story is gripping.
Option 5: The Unexpected Choice
Here's my wild card pick: Over the Garden Wall. It's a mini-series, so it's short and sweet. It's also beautifully animated.
It has a creepy, folktale vibe. It's also has some seriously catchy songs.
It doesn't have bending or epic battles. But it has heart, mystery, and a talking frog! Plus, it's got Elijah Wood.
My "Hot Take" Recommendation
Okay, ready for a truly spicy opinion? Skip Korra for now.
Try Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood or Arcane first. Get a fresh perspective. Then maybe come back to Korra later. You might appreciate it more!
Ultimately, the best show to watch after Avatar is the one that grabs you. Explore, experiment, and find your next obsession. Happy watching!
