@@diatonicdissonance Not this fandom. Someone joked on insta a few months ago that if Avatar Studios doesn’t release the animated Kyoshi novels the fans are going to animate it fanart by fanart. I never guessed they’d actually take it seriously
@@sanije6428 They made Korrasami in the comics. Nickelodeon, like most kids show channels along with Disney doesn't have a lot of lgbt representation. But Avatar is their own studio now so it could be a possibility.
The kyoshi Fandom literally said: if avatar isn't going to give us a kyoshi series WE WILL JUST DO IT OUR SELVES! Seriously though! This is great! Almost every single one of my favorite artists are in this, all except Cazzarts. Add on the fact that the intro! Its voiced by rangi! THATS AMAZING!
[director here] fun fact, we originally didnt have a name for her. We decided to get a bit cheeky 3/4 into production and decided "yup, perfect, lets call her this."
I love this! Props to Kelsang's va, this is almost exactly as I imagined him sounding in the books. Gotta admit, though, I was a bit surprised to see so much of Kuruk's story revealed.
She is my favorite avatar, so strong and kick ass spirit. She is a perfect mix between anng and korra. Thank you so much for this video, I can't wait for the chapter 2.
[SPOILER WARNING: do not read unless you have read the novels] Pretty great all around, but not a fan of the decision to reveal so much of Kuruk’s story right at the start. I love the way the novel initially frames the reader’s perception of Kuruk through the very critical eyes of Jianzhu and Kyoshi, then eventually reveals him as a misunderstood hero in Book 2. By putting all of that at the start, you spoil that twist for new viewers, and thus weaken the effect of Kyoshi’s arc with coming around on Kuruk. Personally, I would have opened with Jianzhu narrating, like the book does. Not only does this establish the general contempt for Kuruk, which we later get the catharsis of tearing down, but it also unconsciously biases the reader towards thinking of Jianzhu as a primary protagonist, making his later betrayal all the more shocking.
Director here. So I understand where you're coming from but there is a method to the madness, while the circumstances were unknown, it *was* well known that Kuruk was a great hunter and that his "most dangerous game" was Spirits. It was also implied by both the books and the TLA series that Kuruk losing Ummi to Koh the Face Stealer was common knowledge at the time (at least to those in Kuruk's circle). This was more to establish a rough idea what kinda Avatar Kuruk was to those who didn't read the books. I'll still leave the circumstances as to why a surprise for those who haven't read the book. Also all following episodes will have a much shorter opening with that stuff not mentioned, much like how TLA and Korra had shorter openings after their first episodes opening. But I do appreciate the feedback all the same!
@@thejackmage9656 Okay, I guess I can understand the rationale. I still don’t know if I agree, but I understand. Sorry if I came across a little harsh - I really do think that what you’re doing here is amazing. With the amount of work that’s gone into it, it’s obviously a labor of love. It’s my own love for the material that makes me feel so strongly about what is ultimately a minor detail. By the way, I don’t know if you noticed, but I added this series to IMDb.
@@TouchTheGarlic I just saw that! Thank you! Are you able to edit it to establish that its a fan project and not an official thing? We aren't affiliated with Avatar Studios or Nickelodeon, its just a bunch of fans working on this.
@@thejackmage9656 I've edited the plot outline to mention that it's a fan project. I'm afraid that's the most I can do, as IMDb doesn't really have a field designed for specifying the studios that something ISN'T affiliated with.
kyoshi stans aint playing around. IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!! ETA: Banger first episode!! yall really captured the humor and the feel of the chapter! ROOTING FOR YALL!!
Aight I'm gonna watch it over and over again because I will never get enough of this perfection. Comedic transition, soundtracks changing as emotions and situations differ, artwork and priceless effort had been spent, which one I should focus on more? Thank you for giving Kyoshi books life with your work. We are truly lucky since we have people like you in this fandom.
OMG A KYOSHI SERIESSS AHHHH I HOPE TO SEE MORE. Cant wait for the part when Kelsang discovers Kyoshi is the Avatar when she recites the love poem by Kuruk (for Hei-ran) which was disclosed only to Kelsang.
Holy crap this is so cool! I just recently read the Kyoshi novels, so I'm really excited to see more! I love the way you guys drew the characters, especially Kelsang and Kyoshi.
The voice acting is seriously on point here, and the video game aesthetic is definitely an interesting take on the narrative. This kinda feels like a JRPG like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy.
i know this video has been 2 years but thanks for making it because i have adhd and it so fking hard to just focus reading a book or a novel. so thank you
Omg this means the WORLD I've been obsessing over the rise of Kyoshi and reading every fic in existence, basically sobbing because I'm running out of content and was going to start writing my own fics soon AND THIS COMES ALONG and WOW it is the best thing!!!!! Please please please continue, even if it takes years, I'll follow every single episode 😭💛 I can't wait to meet Rangi omg my heart is dying, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS OUT INTO THE WORLD
I'm pretty impressed with your work. I'm a Russian blogger and I'd like to ask your permission to translate it to Russian. Please tell me how I can contact you
The same goes for the Indiana Jones series, the "Matrix" series, the X-MEN series, the recent announcement of Sonic SatAM revival, the "Jurassic" series, and so on and so on of the other few dozen series that are still remembered and demanded years later. "Korra" and "The Last Airbender" are no different.
I personally think Netflix should have made this into a live action and left Aang alone but this is great I've already read both books can't wait for more
Hype! Edit: I read that in order to make longer episodes you’re going to need more people to do work. I’m not a great artist and an even worse composer, but I would love to help with voice acting. I’m not a native English speaker (though fluent) and haven’t really done any voice acting work before but I’d love to help with this project anyway if you would be willing to give me a shot.
I just started listening to the rise of Kyoshi on audible. Let me just say, Ima need more of these videos to paint a better and clearer picture in my head plz. Because the kelang i image was completely different looking for some reason. And I didn’t even have an image for jianzhu, rangi, or the other characters. Thanks mate
This is so good I almost thought it was a real series! Just finished watching Avatar and Korea and it brought me back to when they first premiered… You just HAD to be there
This was so cool!! I love this style and editing so much incredible work!! James Dijit (Kelsang) reminds me a lot of Travis Willingham who’s a VA from like a ton of shows/anime
Can't express how happy I am upon seeing your recent upload "Episode 4" that on my recommendations. I was shocked seeing a Kyoshi contest and I immediately subscribed and stalked your channel. This is so good!! I love Kyoshi so much.
Ok imma be a criticism person cause, yeah. At that point in time, Kuruk wasn't know for his struggles and sacrifices as the avatar in a massive vantage, it was rare enough information that Lao Ge took interest. Otherwise, this is beautiful
I'm in awe that you guys are making this, seriously didn't know if I'd ever see this animated! So, so cool, and I can't wait to see how you handle the crazier parts of this story.
I was so happy with finding this! i really enjoyed it. But then... I realized you just uploaded this episode a few days ago and I was sad I could not continue haha. keep it up!
This is good. The voice actors really bring this to life, and I like the instrumentals and sound effects. As a voice actor, this project would have been a lot of fun to work on. :)
Please pleas PLEEASE make the whole series ! 🙏🏻 I’ve tried the audio books but with the robotic sounding voice it’s almost strenuous to stay listening to wich is no hate to those who make/ listen to them .. but this, I love this sm ❤️
The fans really carry this fandom
edit: I intentionally worded it this way. Imagine getting mad over shitty wordplay.
It's called fandom for a reason
that’s... how fandoms work

Hopefully Avatar Studio can see this and might look.
Damn this video was so good that NASA noticed!
Lol
they can’t make it a show because kyoshi is bisexual
@@sanije6428 because they're homophobic

Wtf is wrong with Cazzarts?
What did you mean by "Except Cazzartz? And what's wrong with the dude?
I'm pretty sure that they meant Cazzarts is one of their favourite artists too, but not working on this series.
@@Szystedt Thanks for the info bro, but Milly’s a girl name
@@tintincruz8660 Oops! Thank you, and I'm sorry, Milly. I corrected my comment!
2:23 Kelsang:Most avatars live twice as long
Kyoshi:How about 7 times more
Aang did live to be 66 years old.
Aang : 166 years
Kyoshi: Weak, 230 years
in a sense, she made up for their lost time.
@@srtaaprilOFC actually aang lived 66 not 166, as it is called "life"
Omg Ka-Rin wants to speak to the manager 😂
[director here] fun fact, we originally didnt have a name for her. We decided to get a bit cheeky 3/4 into production and decided "yup, perfect, lets call her this."

Yeah that was to much to soon it wasn't revealed till the second book

This was executed beautifully!!! This is the avatar series we all need! I hope avatar studios really pursued Kyoshi!
Legend of korra is good but im not a fan of a more modern avatar world.
Kyoshi is now into 2 of the 3 avatar intros and couldn't be happier
The music, the voice actors, the timing and overall design and the ART?? Incredible work
The art, the voice acting, it’s all so phenomenal! Subscribed! Also, little Kyoshi’s voice is so cute!!! :D
The voice acting and the art are amazing!
Oh I cannot wait for the rest! I hope Avatar Studios sees this! This is amazing, the voice acting is great!

This was brilliant. Thank you for the effort can't wait for more. Kiyoshi is my favourite avatar yet
As someone who has read both novels, I can't wait to see what's next in the future.
it's just wow! I've read this book and so glad you did this job I can't wait for the second episode!
The voice acting is seriously on point here, and the video game aesthetic is definitely an interesting take on the narrative. This kinda feels like a JRPG like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy.
WHY WOULD I PAY YOU IF SHES NOT THE AVATAR?!?! XD. You guys are off to a great start. 😅🤣
i know this video has been 2 years but thanks for making it because i have adhd and it so fking hard to just focus reading a book or a novel. so thank you
I just finished the novel’s yesterday, and I’m loving this.

Yo, Kkachi95 must be involved. They love Kyoshi
Oh yeah, they're in the credits. Oh this is a big project actually with a lot of people involved. Awesome work!
Ohhh snap
I know Kkachi95 draw the whole Episode
Things could’ve been so different if Kyoshi hadn’t run off and stayed to pass the test.
can't believe i wasn't there for the premiere, this is incredible! really excited for what you all do next!
It is unbelievable how the fans are simply so amazing.
WOW! Amazing work from you guys, I'd love to see the novels animated. Kyoshi is such an amazing character

Cool. What do you blog about?
@@thejackmage9656 looks like I can't send private messages to @KyoshiTeam
I volunteer to translate it to German for the subtitles!
Im in Indonesian
I would translate it into Spanish and french
It's amazing that this show has had such an effect on its fandom that we still love and appreciate it THIRTEEN YEARS after it ended

Absolute perfection, ZERO complaints! Freshly liked and subscribed, looking forward to MOAR!!!

Absolutely outstanding
I feel really bad for Kyoshi

I'm interested too !
omg this is terrific....truly carrying the fandom i see

Can't wait can't wait can't wait !!!!
I’m really liking it so far, your team did an incredible job dubbing and drawing the comic.
This was so cool!! I love this style and editing so much incredible work!! James Dijit (Kelsang) reminds me a lot of Travis Willingham who’s a VA from like a ton of shows/anime
Love that someone is putting this out there… i cant help but feel sad knowing the end and stuff tho

Oh- this is so wonderful! Really liked your voices, they fit so well.
Good luck to you and thank you for doing God's work

Thank you very much for creating this fantastic episode ❤️🍪
I’m so excited for the next episodes !
Beautiful episode. Great jobs with the voices and ofc the art is awesome!
omg you're giving us content. this is amazing!
