I really liked the art style for the backgrounds and bending making it look very much like traditional paintings from China and Japan.

ITA. I also felt the character designs for some of the secondary characters seemed to reflect traditional East Asian art as well.

Well, the statue of Wan makes total sense now: [link]

And as the AVClub review pointed out, a whole lot of Mononoke and Spirited Away.

My DVR cut off slightly early. The last thing I saw was Korra flying off on a flying bison. Anything after that?

Nope. Just the old "I've got to stop it."

Thanks!

Hello thread. I haven't been part of the conversation here, but I hope I can pop in and ask a question. CJ has been asked to be a part of a group cosplay of Attack on Titan as Connie. I know nothing of this anime and was hoping I could get a readers digest summary of the story from someone here - if anyone is familiar with the show.

I haven't seen it, but I know people who have, except I don't want to get a summary from them since I want to watch it eventually. Are you looking to see if it's appropriate?

Pretty much.

I've seen it. This page has a couple pictures of Connie in his uniform. (It's also got spoilers past the end of the anime, so don't tell CJ what it says) Was there anything specific you wanted to know?
