  Continue the saga in the world of bending with The Legend of Korra, the sequel series to Avatar: The Last Airbender. Set 70 years later, it follows Korra, the new Avatar, a headstrong and rebellious young woman who struggles to connect with the spiritual side of being the Avatar. The series is divided into distinct books, each focusing on a different antagonist and theme, allowing Korra to face political unrest, anti-bender sentiment, anarchy, and spiritual conflict. Like Steven Universe, Korra is deeply invested in exploring its protagonist's emotional and psychological journey, depicting her struggles with anxiety, trauma, and identity in a remarkably candid way for an animated show. It builds upon the rich world of its predecessor while introducing new characters, cultures, and conflicts, exploring the complexities of a rapidly modernizing society and the challenges of leadership.
