The Legend of Korra, which takes place after Aang has died and a new Avatar has risen in his place, is considered by many to be an even better series, and is well known for its strides in LGBTQ+ representation in kids’ TV. The obvious pick for a show to watch after Avatar: The Last Airbender is its sequel. The Earth Chakra, focusing on survival, blocked by fear

Brew yourself a cup of jasmine tea and settle into one of the series below, based on how they apply to each of the chakras and how they are connected to Avatar. So in the spirit of Avatar: The Last Airbender, we’ve used them as a rubric to identify works of animation that echo Avatar’s themes, narrative choices, and character arcs. The chakras, in other words, are useful, as well as meaningful and beautiful, in how they illustrate Aang’s journey. “The challenge there was to make it not just an educational lesson,” DiMartino once said of the episode, “but to dramatize it and see how Aang struggles to deal with his past mistakes in order to grow, which is something people of all ages can relate to.” Positioned roughly two-thirds through Avatar’s run, “The Guru” is almost a clip show, giving both Aang and the viewers a narrative report card ahead of the second-season finale and the final season. The seven chakras serve as a thematic road map to the development of Aang and, thus, the whole series created by the episode’s credited writers, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. If you’re reading this list, odds are two things are true: (1) you just finished streaming Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix and want more, and (2) you likely remember what goes down in the show’s 39th episode, “The Guru.” It’s a classic in which Avatar Aang has a long conversation with Guru Pathik, a spiritual guide who helps him open his seven chakras, which are based, of course, on the real-world focal points for meditation.

Then Volpe chimes in, even more hopeful than Ehasz. I know there’d be a lot of people who’d be thrilled.” However, he couched his statement with an admission, simply stating, “I don’t know.” “I would be thrilled if there was another series. The answer was surprisingly candid - and optimistic. In an interview with, Aaron Ehasz (head writer for Avatar: The Last Airbender) and Giancarlo Volpe (who directed 19 episodes of the series), and Justin Richmond (director of Uncharted 3) about Wonderstorm’s new series The Dragon Prince, we couldn’t help but ask about the possibility of new Avatar episodes. Back in 2014, the show’s creators made it pretty clear that they had no plans to continue the series with a third Avatar, but maybe that’s no longer the case. It’s been four long years since The Legend of Korra brought a thrilling finale to the saga that began over a decade earlier with The Last Airbender.
