Yes I watched it and thought they had been building to that for a while. I was glad they did it but it was a bit of a departure of the general tone of the series in that it ended on romance.
RE: Legend of korra and THAT FINALE! - Martiallais - 12-25-2014
I stuck with the show through all 4 seasons and actually -hated- the MakoxKorra stuff. To me -that- felt more forced than anything. And I won't lie, initially I wanted BolinxKorra because (to reuse a commonly used phrase) it would've been something outside the norm (the somewhat larger/typical comedy relief character gets with the main character rather than the 'omg so hot/so cool' character), IMO.
However with the changes to the characters that happened over the seasons, I have to admit that I too initially thought that Korra only wrote to Asami because they were basically the gal pals of the group. She'd come off a break up with Mako and Bolin was essentially her little brother of sorts. But to me it did feel like something that gradually built up over time and I didn't read the ending as anything ambiguous at all. It didn't need the deal sealed with a kiss (though if it were a hetero couple I'm sure it would've been...baby steps though), as their looks and the music/general set up said enough.
And while I normally wouldn't consider myself much of a 'shipper' I agree that it's nice that they came out to say 'bam! this is canon!' lest the battles of the internet continue to wage on over 'if they were' or 'if they weren't'.
Plus, it was just nice to have the acknowledgement for the sake of the folks in my life who identify "outside the norm" (quotes because lawl in general at norms, normal is variable).

Reminds me of in TLoU DLC - Left Behind
Turns out Ellie was a lesbian. I was like wow, that was deep.

I squealed so loud when it happened. I must have yelled 'WHAT?! WHHHAT? WAIT HOLD UP! WHATTTT?!' in my friend's ear while we were watching it. I've been shipping them ever since they began laying down little hints of a possible pairing. I'm am incredibly happy that they paired them together.
If you think about it really this is a huge step for a a kid's channel. In my opinion this is when we need to expose children to the different types of races, genders, and sexual orientations. To show that no matter who the person is, what gender/race they are, or who they love doesn't matter. That we should all be treated with respect, and decency. I'm really proud Nick did this.

I'm too lazy to check the numbers involved but someone went to do an analysis of Season 3 of how much of Korra's time was Asami with her... and how much of asami's time that she spent with korra.

In a show with four seasons and 14 episodes per season max...with so many different characters, situations, locations and circumstances, it's really really difficult to do any more buildup than they already did. It started in season three, strengthened in season 4 and finally culminated.Â
When people say it came out of left field I feel like they really didn't notice season three and season four's little hints. Mind you, given that the ENDING itself was as smooth and subtle as possible, we couldn't exactly expect a powerful buildup. Not to mention it's still a kids' show that adults can watch, in the end! They did what they could and I love them for it. I will never call a step in the right direction pandering -- because with stepping in the right direction, someone's gotta give.
OTHER THAN THE ROMANCE STUFF. THEY SCARED ME SO MUCH AFTER ASAMI'S DAD. LIKE. DUDE. I know they usually had like two deaths per season max...BUT. AFTER SEEING SATO BITE IT, THAT SPIRIT VINE CORE SCENE WITH MAKO GOT A LITTLE INTENSE FOR ME.Â
Kuvira and Korra's fight was a ride. Short, but just as brutal, stubborn and to the point as the characters were expected to be, with AMAZING music to accompany it.Â
Before that, the scene after Sato's sacrifice when they were running up the machine to get in and Korra had to water/ice bend to keep Kuvira from smashing them. Everything about that. The music, the motions, the sequence of events, Kuvira's expression -- small irises, the sweat, the panic/rage. So so well done. SO MANY SHOWS LEAVE IMPORTANT THINGS LIKE THIS OUT.Â
It was a fun ride, and I don't regret having stuck with the series at all.
It did give me feels, too. Always feelsy when something good ends.
*remembers resisting the urge to sob hysterically when LOST ended*

Not gonna lie. When Sato died I was clenching my cheeks going "OH GOD PLS NO MORE NOT YOU MAKO OH GOD. PLS NOT KORRA."

Bryan Konietzko just released this Korrasami piece that will be at the art gallery. All proceeds are going to go to an LGBTQ suicide prevention hotline.

It's been a long time since the Finale, but some might enjoy this tidbit.
At SacAnime 2015, Seychelle Gabriel (voice of Asami Sato) and Janet Varney (voice of Korra) were at a session together. [David Faustino (voice of Mako) also had an appearance but was kicked out for this act.] Korra proposes to Asami ; ~ ;

Thank you for that it was a lovely thing

You can't make a fantastic show without fantastic actors. It was a terrible and wonderful day when they broadcast the finale.
