Hopefully something great. Maybe just a whole series of slice-of-life shorts about Korra managing the peace in Republic City, and occasional tournament arcs.
Wait, tournament arcs are always terrible, nevermind.
While I'm happy that a good show gets support I'm not too excited when heavily story based series is continued. We have already seen Korra's story. She learned the lesson, defeated the antagonist and even got the boy.
The future adventures of Korra will probably be alright, possibly good or even better than the first season, but honestly I'd rather see a totally new story. New story with new protagonist.
But she's the only woman in the show that I know off whose character design is basically male with a squiggle to denote tits.
I don't really watch anime with pretty boys prancing about. The latest would be Moyashimon Returns (... fuck), where the only design they improved was Kei's. WHAT DID THEY DO TO OUR MISS ARGICULTURE?!?!

I like it. it makes her look more athletic and, well, human. edit: to clarify, i dont think she looks like a guy. i think most anime girls look.. impossible.

Note how I did not compare her to any anime girls. I compared her to other female characters in the same show with the same graphical style.
Also, since I mentioned it in the last post and don't feel like leaving you folks hanging on that unrelated tangent. Last column, just look what they did to Mutou (top is new design, bottom is oldbest design).
Question: why does Korra look like a dude whenever her tits aren't visible?
Some women have muscular arms like that. Considering she is an athlete, I think it is a good depiction. I really like Korra's design. She actually is closer to my body type than most anime girls, since I have a wide ribcage, defined muscles on my arms and legs, and narrow hips.

No, it's not the arms either. Those are perfectly fine and ambiguous. I just can't spot anything in her design that indicates she's a woman besides a squiggly line. While every other character is distinctively male or female.

Disagree, I found her distinctly female. Her shoulders were not as broad as the males of the show for example.

I will have to see it in motion at some point anyway. I was hoping there was an artist or animator who could've explained why she looks so much different from the other women stylistically.

I think it's purely a case of her having a very athletic build. If you look at women in real life, you do see quite the variation of builds between them, after all. Even among athletes, you often see different builds. A swimmer's build is different from that of a distance runner, for example. In the case of the show, Korra is pretty much the most athletic of all the women we see. Lin Bei Fong comes close as far as athleticism, but she is 50-ish or so and has the look of someone who is physically fit for her age, but not in the same manner as Korra (again, swimmer vs. runner, for example). Asami has the look of the pampered woman who, while certainly not out of shape, has the physique of someone who hasn't had to do much in the way of physical labor. Pema looks like, well, a mom, and the other girls are her and Tenzin's kids who, well, look like kids.
Even amongst athletes facial features are very recognizable as male or female though. Having an athletic physique shouldn't make me go "Wut? Tits?" when I finally see an image of more than just face + shoulders.

Maybe it's just me, but I found her face plenty feminine.
