I'm reading about hazing
I mean, I've been super hyped about Avatar Seven Havens since I first heard about it. So I am kinda impatiently waiting for the final episodes of book 1.
I personally love the fact that they added India tones to the show to really give off a more distinct vibe from the previous 2 shows in the series. Also really like the art style and music choice. Story has me pumped to see how they manage to keep things going. Especially as we very slowly learn about Korra.

I also like that throughout the season up until episode 8/9 they avoid having am Amon or fire lord or some other known overarching villain who is seen as a major threat to everyone who is a big focus of the season. No big evil bad person to have to deal with by the end of a season, which feels refreshing. As much as I enjoy Korra, that's one thing that kinda drags it down just a little for me, so I hope they don't screw that up.
Good choice to have Nisha run out of the Haven, IMO, so they can hopefully focus less on the Faceless and their queen being this books Amon. As much as I kinda wanna see them being taken down, I think something much more interesting would be seeing them throughout the books travel to the other Havens and recruit benders and ultimately have them all end up traveling to Republic Forest in the end... only to realize it's not as safe as they thought. Only to end up meeting Nisha and Pavi and realize that the Avatar is their last hope and their freedom.
As various people have pointed out in comments on reaction videos I've seen, Agam having been hinted throughout the season as the Faceless queen is a nice touch. I personally never expected for a single moment that she could have been their leader, let alone a bender herself. Always fun to have characters sneakily set up to be a surprise villain!
So yeah, I'm kinda invested in the show, if you couldn't already tell.
