Since it reemerged on Netflix in August The Legend of Korra has taken on something of a second life. As a sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender, it expands on the original series worldbuilding while exploring the consequences of choices made in the original series. It also built up a new cast of lovable characters while exploring slightly more mature, and more nuanced political themes.

Fans left wanting more after binging all four seasons of The Legend of Korra do have a few options that might satisfy that same itch.

10 Adventure Time

Often hailed as the origin point for Cartoon Network's current style of animation, Pendleton Ward's iconic series needs little introduction. The heart of the show is the friendship between Finn the human and Jake the dog as they go on assorted adventures. While the show often delves into absurdity it features impressive world-building and the self-destruction of our world as a constant, bleak, backdrop.

While The Legend of Korra connects to our world through extended political allegories, Adventure Time positions itself as the post-apocalyptic consequence of the modern nuclear age.

9 Over The Garden Wall

Over the Garden Wall follows two brothers named Wirt and Greg who end up in the surreal forest called The Unknown. The pair encounter a host of supernatural creatures, from the monstrous Beast to Beatrice, a human girl cursed to live as a bluebird. It's gradually revealed that Wirt and Greg are in a limbo-like world that exists between life and death.

The Legend of Korra delves much deeper into the spirit world than its predecessor did. Both stylistically and thematically The Unkown is very similar to the Avatar Universes' spirit realm.

8 Runaways

The Runaways gang

Marvel's foray into the teen drama genre sees a group of teenagers coming together to fight their supervillain parents. The group must learn to use their assorted abilities and work as a team while navigating their own interpersonal problems.

Like Legend of Korra, Runaways examines how adult mentor figures can often fail the young people they're trying to help. Both shows also explore themes of growing up, trama, betrayal, and emerging queer identity.

7 Steven Universe

Steven Universe and The Crystal Gems

Steven Universe follows it's titular protagonist, a half-human half-alien, as he's raised by a group of alien heroes called the Crystal Gems. It's a show that wears its influences on its sleeve, paying direct homage to video games, Western animation, and magical-girl anime all in equal measure. With gorgeously animated action, goofball comedy, an interesting light sci-fi setting, and fantastic musical numbers it's a show with something for everyone.

As protagonists, Korra and Steven are both largely defined against a predecessor. Korra has to deal with the consequences of past Avatars while Steven struggles not to live in the shadow of his mother, Rose Quartz.

6 Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Since it aired in 1997, Buffy has been a pop-culture staple, spawning a spin-off show, multiple comic series, and an upcoming reboot. It follows Buffy Summers, a superpowered teenager destined to fight the forces of evil. With her close-knit group of friends, she prevents numerous apocalypses and slays countless vampires and demons.

Like Korra, Buffy is the latest in a long line of heroes, forced by fate to bear the weight of the world on her shoulders. Both manage to survive the constant stream of world-ending threats by relying on their found-families.

5 She-Ra: The Princess of Power

The Princess of She-Ra

The modern update of the classic Masters of the Universe character follows Adora as she finds a magic sword that turns her into the legendary hero She-Ra. She sets out to reunite the Princess Alliance, a council of fellow magical girls. This puts her in conflict with The Horde, an evil army that raised Adora, and her lifelong best friend and love interest, Catra.

Adora is a headstrong, powerful woman with a group of powerful friends all of whom would feel right at home in Korra's universe.

4 RWBY

Team RWBY and Qrow

When it released in 2013 RWBY took the internet by storm. With over the top weapons, smooth action animation, and clear anime influences RWBY is a rollicking adventure. The plot follows Team RWBY, a group of new students at Beacon Academy, a school that teaches students how to protect the human cities from monsters called The Grim.

Like Legend of Korra, RWBY features a group of friends that must protect their world from both supernatural and human threats. It also features similarly high emotional stakes.

3 Full Metal Alchemist

Full Metal Alchemist Main Cast

Both the original Full Metal Alchemist and its reboot, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood are very well regarded. Both series follow the Elric brothers, who try unsuccessfully to resurrect their dead mother with the power of Alchemy. The process cost Edward an arm and leg while it cost his younger brother his entire body with his soul being trapped in a suit of armor. The Elrics pursue the fabled Philosophers Stone to restore what they lost trying to bring their mother back.

Viewers who were drawn in by the strong political and social themes in Legend of Korra will find much more to enjoy in either version of Full Metal Alchemist. 

2 The Dragon Prince

The Dragon Prince was created by Aaron Ehasz who worked as the head writer for Avatar the Last Airbender. Like The Legend of Korra's predecessor, it follows a group of young, reluctant, adventurers trying to stop a massive war. The central conflict of the world they build is between humans and the alliance of elves and dragons. When the princes of a human kingdom find a dragon egg, thought long dead, they team up with an elven assassin to take it to the Elven kingdom and avert war.

The shared DNA between the Avatar universe and The Dragon Prince is impossible to miss from character archetypes to world structure.

1 Avatar: The Last Air Bender

Obviously The Legend of Korra is a sequel to Avatar, picking up one generation after the original show. The original follows the avatar Aang, an air bender who was trapped in an iceberg for one hundred years. With the Avatar missing The Fire Nation launched an imperial war, conquering much of the world and wiping out the air nomads entirely. Aang and his companions' journey to reestablish the Avatar and defeat the Fire Lord.

Fans who watched the sequel series without seeing the original are doing themselves a disservice. Many of the plot points in The Legend of Korra are direct consequences to the actions Aang and his friends took in the original series. The two shows also work in tandem to establish the world and history of their universe.
