The Legend of Korra
Avatar was my first real introduction to the fandom experience- I was a lurker, really, but it was the first time I had felt such a burning need to see what others thought- and when it was over, even though it ended at exactly the right time- I always missed it. I'm so glad it's back! I love Korra, and how she's brash and headstrong and impatient, but willing to learn from her mistakes (and how nice is it to have the female character in an action cartoon a) be the lead and b) not be the 'responsible one'?). I love Bolin and how enthusiastic and confident he is, and I guess I'll warm up to Mako (I suppose I can't blame the boy for the legions of fangirls who are seeing him as Zuko 2.0). I teared up at the bits with Katara, and I am absolutely in love with Lin Bei Fong and Tenzin and his family.
(side details that were amazing: flying lemurs. Korra rolling up her air nomad sleeves to show off her guns. Mako and Bolin sharing eyebrows. The conversation with the tramp in the park that was both hilarious and heartbreaking, because Aang's bright city is already rotten at the core).
The team has really stepped up and delivered a quality sequel to ATLA, and it really shows in the animation, the design and especially the music. Dear sweet heavens, the music! I just want to roll about in it and download it and have it be the soundtrack to my life forever.
