I wonder if there is a show where they explore the impact of the bending or just magic in general. Basically Dr.stone but with bending/magic. I love seeing this stuff being used with scientific intent. The nation is basically steam punky.
Ashamed but not ashamed to admit it, but I have quite a fascination with this, and am working/thinking on a fanfic that explores Avatar lore more scientifically. A major perspective is through a Zaofu engineer-type character who looks at spirits, his own bending, and other lore like the portals or vines more scientifically.
That’s where my brain goes. Shrug.
I was hoping we’d get a “bender engineer” character in canon, but that doesn’t appear to be the direction they’re going.
It's a style, not a genre, it's also more than one style. Anime comes in every genre. There are many diverse anime films and series.
Of course some are made for children and others for adults. If all you have seen is children's series you probably haven't got any idea what anime has.

Have a looooooooooooooooong train ride ahead. I'm absolutely grabbing these off Anna's archive.

Why do you need to study turbines? We’re not studying airplanes? Shouldn’t it be like thermodynamics or even just physics?

For airbending? Yeah, atmospheric science and fluid dynamics is probably the better manga.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 288d
Fluid dynamics could apply to both air and water.

Fluid dynamics are evil.
iloveDigit@piefed.social · 3 pts · 288d
Could be fluid dynamics but that's already water. Maybe they should be hydraulics and pneumatics or something

Airbenders fly now?
sga@piefed.social · 1 pts · 232d
(do i have a surprise for you)
yes. in the legend of korra third season, there is a character who can fly. I will not spoil any further cause this a very major plot point

Doctorate material on sub-elements:
Metallurgy and crystallography (metalbending).
Volcanism (lavabending).
Circulatory systems (bloodbending).
Electrostatics and plasma physics (lightingbending).
Quantum mechanics (spirtbending and astral projection).

They are in the wrong order 😔
And if you flipped the top image you could have them in order + a fifth book for an extra joke layer

Maybe aerodynamics for boomerang?

Biochemistry for the blood bending.

Uh, Stryer's 4th is very pretty and the name sounds like destroyer. Doesn't make him a punchline though :(

Where's Metal Working 101 and Basics of Electrophysics?

I've read 3/4 of those, heat and mass transfer was evil.

Easy. I don't like anime.
I find the total style of the genre off-putting. Pokemon is as deep as I go and only because it had commercials before I could skip them.
So I will not read the manga and just say I don't like the anime 🤗

(Avatar: the Last Airbender is not based off a manga)

That reading list might just make the series unwatchable.
Magic/superpowers and thermodynamics usually don't mix.
