''The Legend of Korra'' is an American animated television series that aired on the Nickelodeon television network from 2012 to 2014. It was created by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino as a sequel to ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'', which aired from 2005 to 2008. Drawn in a style strongly influenced by Japanese animation, the series is set in a fictional universe in which some people can manipulate, or "bend", the elements of water, earth, fire, or air. Only one person, the "Avatar", can bend all four elements, and is responsible for maintaining balance in the world. The series follows Avatar Korra, the reincarnation of Aang from the previous series, as she faces political and spiritual unrest in a modernizing world. The main characters are voiced by Janet Varney, Seychelle Gabriel, David Faustino, P. J. Byrne, J. K. Simmons and Mindy Sterling, and supporting voice actors include Aubrey Plaza, Steven Blum, Eva Marie Saint, Henry Rollins, Anne Heche and Zelda Williams. Several people involved in the creation of ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'', including designer Joaquim Dos Santos and composers Jeremy Zuckerman and Benjamin Wynn, returned to work on ''The Legend of Korra''. Most animation was done by Studio Mir of South Korea, and some by Studio Pierrot of Japan. ''The Legend of Korra'' ran for fifty-two episodes, separated into four seasons ("books"). It is to be continued as a comics series. ''The Legend of Korra'' has been a critical and commercial success, drawing favorable comparisons with the HBO series ''Game of Thrones'' and the work of Hayao Miyazaki. It has been praised by reviewers for its production values and for addressing sociopolitical issues such as social unrest and terrorism, as well as for going beyond the established boundaries of youth entertainment with respect to issues of race, gender, and sexual identity. ==Series overview== (詳細はminiseries. Nickelodeon declined the creators' pitch for an ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'' follow-up animated movie based on what then became the three-part comics ''The Promise, The Search'' and ''The Rift'', choosing instead to expand ''Korra'' to 26 episodes. The series was expanded further in July 2012 to 52 episodes. These episodes are grouped into four separate seasons ("Books") composed of twelve to fourteen episodes ("Chapters") each, with each season telling a stand-alone story. Beginning with episode 9 of season 3, new episodes were first distributed through the Internet rather than broadcast. ''The Legend of Korra'' concluded with the fourth season. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Legend of Korra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
