So that's weird, I thought Netflix ordered 78 Episodes for this show? And now it'll be 72?
EDIT: Oh no, just realized season 7 will also have 13 Episodes, thought it'll be 7 again.

I'm a little sad to know the series will be ending soon since I've finally caught up with all of it, but I'm sure I'll live. Also excited to know that Shiro had a male significant other!

2.5 years is a pretty short life for a successful American cartoon. Did the fujo death threats finally get to them?

I'm only on the 2nd season, so I guess it's time to catch up.

It has more episodes than The Legend of Korra (52) or Avatar (61), and it's definitely successful, so I think this is just their pre-planned ending point.

Yes, but the first episode was the 3 first episodes combined into 1 and that is why it is still 78.

70+ episodes in 2.5 years is pretty damn good.

Neither. We knew it was going to be 78 episodes since last year.

I hope they give the relationship a bit of depth and not just a final scene hand holding. Give people a little something to chew on this time.

It's DreamWorks' production cycle for their shows ever since partnering up with Netflix.

"Adam"? That a funny way of spelling "Keith"! Seriously though, I gotta see what the shippers are gonna say on this one! There's just SO much Shiro/Keith fanart (especially after the end of s6). But the Avatar/Korra staff has long been known to mess with the fans on stuff like this.
Sad to see it end, but better to see it go out on a high note! And 26 eps still left, that's actually a lot!

So 26 episodes left, total? That sounds like the perfect amount to end the series on a high note!

I am really glad the creators found a way to reaffirm that Keith and Shiro were like actual brothers to one another without making Shiro straight, heaven knows how many shows have shoehorned in a straight love interest just to appease conservative TV execs or concerned parents.
