It's a good sized city, I love how they've embraced their cute girls/tank warfare related fame though. They should hold the next world tank biathlon (a real sport) there!
Also I know some of you lot were looking for this....
I beg of you sarge let me lead the charge when the battle lines are drawn
Lemme at least leave a good hoof beat they'll remember loud and long

When I read it, I couldn't believe it. I've googled and my jaw hit the floor.
I want more of this sport. Hell, this is the only sport I'd follow with a vast interest.

I'd be more interested if it wasn't gender exclusive.
Huh, I'll put that show onto the watch list, how could I not after such high regards are thrown mercilessly at it for days
Character development is awesome for sure, it looks like the main character starts out as a child and grows into an adult over the duration, which is excellent.
Stumbled across this song pretty randomly today. Hadn't thought about in years... Which is odd as I used to use it to calm/wind down all the time.. Glad to remember it again though! Thanks Youtube! (Non-sarcastically for once)

I don't think Korra's going to recover from that. I mean, mercury poisoning? That stuff was in there for minutes. Tens of minutes! She may not be fully paralyzed, but if she's not back up and going in 2 weeks (of assumed intense medical treatment from Katara and Kaia, two of the best healers on the planet), I don't think she's ever going to actually recover. The Avatar is a husk, now. How the heck is Season 4 going to go? Or is this the end of Korra's Legend? Is Season 4 actually going to be the first season of a 3rd series? The story of the next Avatar, in a world where people can talk directly to Spirits, and the Airbenders are traveling the world as peacekeepers and moderators, where the Avatar is, quite literally, outdated and obsolete?
I seriously don't understand how Nick doesn't see the potential in this series, and hope the online ratings are reflecting that.
GENERATION 8: The first time you see this, copy and paste it into your sig and add 1 to the number after generation. Consider it a social experiment.

I was thinking they were going to kill off Tenzin. They panned off beating the crap out of him. And they already killed the earth queen. So I was so relieved they didn't kill Tenzin. I was floored when Jinora finally got her tattoos. Very Feel moment. Felt so bad for Korra being a husk of her former self after the mercury poisoning. I loved the season finale. Just wow, Bolin and lava bending.

Resuming the plot, Humans needed to colonize Mars to solve the overpopulation problem they knew it was bound to happen, so 500 years ago they started their Terraforming plan (the present is around 2550 or something): This means they sent a special moss and cockroaches. (The manga explains how the heck this works, the OVA doesn't ... )
Problem: The cockroaches ... evolved. Now there's freakin' living nightmares.
Seriously, it's GG if something like this happened. Humanoid cockroaches, God-Emperor, if there's anything Space Marines should be thrown at, it's that.

Very meh to me. Was really turned off by how the "cockroaches" were all just big muscular dudes with antennae who breathed thru their butts. Too much narration and exposition too for my taste.

From what I understand it's because it's the "prologue" to the main show. They are condensing a lot in 2 eps.
Spoiler:
So far in the manga there has been 3 voyages. The "Zero", the ship they found in this first OVA. The first time they had no idea about the roaches (it was the "prototype" that was first released in the magazine to test the waters). This one, the "First", that's going to be the prologue to the anime.
The "second", that's where the anime will start.
I admit, I haven't read the manga in a while so I'm not sure if there's already a 4th one.

After what happened to the Earth Queen, when tenzin said something along the lines of "As long as there is breath in my body I'll keep fighting" I thought oh no Tenzin why did you have to say that. I'm actually surprised at how dark this season was, nick and Avatar have always had a sticky situation with death in a show with war and then they go and kill someone by suffocation on screen. I can't help but feel that was a bit of fan service as air bending is supposedly a non-lethal form of bending but forums talk about its potential to kill by sucking the air out of peoples lungs.
