Animated shows have been discounted for Prime Day, but if you’re looking for one of the best series on Blu-ray, you can’t go wrong with Avatar: The Last Airbender and its sequel The Legend of Korra. Amazon has several box sets available of the Nickelodeon series, ranging from one almighty collection to individual editions. If you never watched it, the world of Avatar revolves around people who can bend the elements of fire, earth, water, and air, a great war between the four nations, and the prophesized savior of the world, who went missing for over a century when he was needed most.
The Legend of Korra is set decades later and during a more peaceful time. The latest reincarnation of the Avatar, Korra, finds herself caught up in various conspiracies and battles as she struggles to maintain balance between the human and spirit realms. Originally meant to run for a single season, the show was so popular that several more seasons were commissioned. Each series has a distinct anime-inspired design and a novel way of depicting how people bend the elements through the use of traditional Chinese martial arts.

Beyond the TV series and other upcoming projects, the world of Avatar has also been fleshed out through several books and graphic novels. Dark Horse Comics has released several of these, including the well-received mini-series The Promise. Then there are the novels, like The Rise of Kyoshi, which delves into the story of the Earth Kingdom–born Avatar, and the Dawn of Yangchen, which follows a new Avatar’s journey toward becoming a revered leader during dangerous times.
