-Naruto manga: Once again, I have nothing much to say except for eeeee uzumaki/namikaze family. ;^; waugh.


-Bweee!! They're making a sequel to Avatar the Last Airbender -- and I don't mean a second live-action movie, I mean the original authors are coming back with the story of the next avatar after Aang, who is a girl. She looks really badass from this... okay, this lone concept picture which might be totally misteading. But! Water Tribe avatar! IN A STEAMPUNK WORLD. AND PEOPLE PROTESTING BENDERS. be still my heart. God please make it not suck. *_*

Q: The new “Avatar” is a woman. What inspired you to change the sex of the protagonist of the series?

Michael DiMartino: It’s not so much about changing because we had Avatar Kyoshi before Aang. We’d established that the Avatar can be male or female and we just thought let’s explore one of those more in depth, because Kyoshi was a popular character with a lot of fans and it seemed like a great opportunity to not retread what we’d done with Aang, who was a great hero, we all loved him, but we really wanted to try something different. And we have so many great female fans out there, who really responded to Katara in the first series, we thought we have the fan base who are really going to enjoy seeing the Avatar be a female.

Konietzko: Mike and I, we love those characters too, and we’ve encountered countless fans who are male who really like those characters too. We just don’t subscribe to the conventional wisdom that you can’t have an action series led by a female character. It’s kinda nonsense to us.
