It's a rare thing for a television spinoff to recapture the success of its source material--rarer still for an animated spinoff. But in the case of The Legend of Korra, Avatar: The Last Airbender creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino have really outdone themselves. Not only did this series live up to the name "Avatar," but it also established itself as a wholly unique and self-contained adventure, boasting an immersive world, beautiful animation and a dynamic cast of characters--not to mention some good laughs along the way. From Korra's rich emotional triumphs to the comedic stylings of Bolin and Pabu, The Legend of Korra has something for just about everyone. That is why it earns our pick for Best Animated Series--and you gotta deal with it!
