OMG OMG OMG YES

[tessspoon]

Yaaaaay! We're re-watching the first show in preparation

[Delling]

Episode 1 was leaked online... it is all of the amazing things!


EDIT: "leaked" is somewhat inaccurate--Nick put it up on a press site with a password protection and somewhat leaked or guessed the password.

I had no idea what this was, and found out it was a sequel of sorts to Avatar: The Last Airbender.


Why can't Nickelodeon produce a sequel series to something good, like "Mysterious Cities of Gold"?!?!

[KatieHal]

You didn't like Avatar? The series, of course, not the movie. That was shite.

[Blackthorne]

Nah, I liked the film Avatar, but think the animated series is gloop.


Now Mysterious Cities of Gold.... that was awesome.

Nah, I liked the film Avatar, but think the animated series is gloop.

I..buh...wha? Does not compute!

I vaguely recall cities of gold...I recognize some of those characters, but can't really remember anything about the show.

[Blackthorne]

Heh, yeah, it was on Nickelodeon when I was a kid.  It's about a boy, Esteban, who travels from Spain to South America and ends up looking for the Mysterious Seven Cities of Gold.  He and his friends find a flying vehicle the Incas made, shaped like a bird.... it was just a crazy adventure show for kids, and a co-production between a Japanese Animation Studio and a French Company.   As a child, it was my first exposure to Japanese Animation.

I think there's some episodes on YouTube.  Worth a glance at, from a historical standpoint if you enjoy Japanese Animation.

I liked David the Gnome.  Anyone remember that show?

[KatieHal]

YES! I used to watch that one all the time.

[Delling]

Nah, I liked the film Avatar, but think the animated series is gloop.

I..buh...wha? Does not compute!

The giant blue people movie, Katie; not that thing they made out of the animated series.

At least, that's my interpretation.

[Blackthorne]

Correct Delling.  I'm talking James Cameron's flick, not the Last Airbender M. Night Shamalyan debacle.



Also, the end of David the Gnome is one of the most powerful finales I have ever seen in a children's animated series.



Bt

[KatieHal]

Phew! You really had me worried, Bt.

I can't recall the finale of David the Gnome. I'm not entirely sure I saw it. My memories of that show are more general--I know I watched it, but specifics of it elude me now.

[dark-daventry]

If anyone is interested, the first two episodes are now up on Korra Nation, courtesy of nickelodeon themselves. I am in love with this series. IN LOVE I SAY!!!!!

[KatieHal]

I came into this thread to remove a spam post, but also, man, Legend of Korra is getting good! Lin Bei Fong is a total badass. It took a week or so at first for me to get into the groove of the show--it's not the same lighthearted fun and humor that Last Airbender was, but the characters are older and facing a different sort of threat, so that really does make sense. It's different, and the characters are getting more interesting, I'm really enjoying it!

[Delling]

*saw Katie had posted here* GAH! I'm at least one episode if not two behind!

[KatieHal]

I stayed spoiler-free!

[Delling]

Oh, I know. It just reminded me that I should watch that.

*gets caught up* So, yeah... Lin Bei Fong is her mother's daughter.

[KatieHal]

Right?!?
