Northern Arc Capital IPO allotment – How to check allotment, IPO GMP, listing date and more

The Rs 260.04 crore IPO of <keyword id="23568743" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Deepak-Builders" source="keywords">Deepak Builders</keyword> and Engineers, which went live yesterday, received a thumping response from <keyword id="19972907" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="retail-investors" source="keywords">retail investors</keyword>, who oversubscribed to the issue by 16x. In effect, retail investors bid for 7,20,24,282 shares as opposed to 44,83,500 shares, or 35% of the issue that is reserved for them. The issue, worth Rs 260.04 crore, is a combination of a fresh issue of about Rs 217.21 crore and an OFS (offer for sale) of Rs 42.83 crore. With a price band of Rs 192-203, the company will list on the bourses on Monday, October 28, 2024, with allotment finalization happening on Thursday, October 24, 2024. Retail investors can bid for a minimum of 1 lot, which consists of 73 shares. The minimum required investment to participate in this IPO is Rs 14,819, while the maximum is Rs 1,92,647. The company's last traded GMP (grey market premium) today was Rs 61. This takes its estimated listing price to Rs 264, and the expected listing gains at 30.05% per share. <h2>Should you invest?</h2> The company has a strong presence in northern India, with multiple projects across Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Chandigarh, and Delhi. The company currently oversees twelve ongoing projects, including seven EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) projects and five contracts based on item or percentage rates. As of June 30, 2024, the company’s <keyword id="20162999" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="order-book" source="keywords">order book</keyword> totals Rs 13,803.89 million for FY 2024, up from Rs 11,126.88 million for FY23. The company's revenue from operations also went up from Rs 3,630.52 million in FY22 to Rs 5,114.02 million in FY24. Consequently, its PAT (profit after tax) jumped to Rs 604.1 million in FY24, up from Rs 213.95 million in FY23 and Rs 176.79 million in FY22. Its EPS (earnings per share), considered a reliable measure of profitability, also inched up substantially from 4.92 in FY22 to 16.84 in FY24. Per the company's prospectus, proceeds from the IPO will be used to repay borrowings, meet working capital requirements, and for other general corporate purposes. Financial analysts have recommended subscribing to the IPO for long-term investment, citing the company's steady <keyword id="20748625" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="financial-growth" source="keywords">financial growth</keyword> over the past few years. However, the issue is not without its share of risks. For instance, most of the company's projects are concentrated in Punjab. As of June 30, 2024, about 33.02% of the company's revenue from operations came from Punjab-based projects. Moreover, the company's finances have seen meteoric growth over the past few years, raising questions about its sustained continuity. While its EBITDA margin increased from 12.20% in FY 2023 to 22.98% in FY 2024 and 29.92% during the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. Similarly, their profit after tax margin increased from 4.94% in FY2023 to 11.81% in FY 2024 and 13.52% during the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. It Despite these concerns, Bajaj Broking and Anand Rathi's research both recommended subscribing to this IPO. "The company has a diversified project portfolio, which reduces its reliance on a single market segment. As of June 2024, the company has some litigations towards projects amounting to Rs 884 million (6% of the total order book). We believe that the liability of this should not impact the going concern of the company's profitability. With a strong order book, Deepak Builders has growth potential visibility in the infrastructure sector, which aligns them with government initiatives. At the upper price band, the company is valued at a P/E of 15.6x with a market cap of Rs 9,455 million post-issue of equity shares and a return on net worth of 52.9%. On the valuation front, we believe that the company is fairly priced. Thus, we recommend a “SUBSCRIBE” rating to the IPO," noted Anand Rathi.

Deepak Builders & Engineers IPO closes for subscription tomorrow. Here's all you need to know

The <keyword id="19950208" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BSE-Sensex" source="keywords">BSE Sensex</keyword> climbed up by as much as 1,400 points during the day, to close at 84544.31. Nifty wasn't far behind, inching up over 1% during the day to close at 25790.95. What is driving this rally? And this is not just the secondary market. The primary market, i.e. IPO subscriptions are also witnessing a stellar surge in investor interest. The IPOs of Northern Arc Capital and Arkade Developers, which closed yesterday, were oversubscribed 117 times and 113 times, respectively, largely on the back of significant investments made via the QIB and NII categories. But the question is, what is driving this frenzy, which comes on the heels of the Fed's recent announcement slashing interest rates by a significant 50 basis points? Experts explain that the most direct impact of the rate cut comes in the form of higher <keyword id="20078820" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="foreign-capital-inflows" source="keywords">foreign capital inflows</keyword> into emerging markets like India. The impending anticipation of this is what is driving the rally witnessed in the stock market today. As per data from NSDL’s FPI monitor, foreign investors infused a net total of Rs 2,341.64 crore in Indian equity markets via stock exchanges, as of September 19th, 2024. Data shows that September has seen inflows of around Rs 27,862 crores in first half of September. This is around 4 times the flows seen during the entire month of August. Just within this week (till September 19), FPI inflows have touched Rs 5,419 crores. Palka Arora Chopra. Director, <keyword id="23251477" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Master-Capital-Services" source="keywords">Master Capital Services</keyword> Ltd explains that the current upswing in the stock market results from market forecasts of increased foreign inflows into India following the Fed rate decrease. “This, combined with the fact that US jobless claims are at their lowest since May 2024, have alleviated concerns about the US labor market failing, rather, it is simply slowing down. This is also why the Dow Jones Industrial Averages and S&amp;P 500 index surged to 1.7%, and Asia saw a rise in markets across Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong”, she continued. Riding on the tide of higher foreign inflows is the strengthening of Indian Rupee. Already, the rupee has regained strength from a high of 84.0 to 83.7 over the last week, and this trend may continue in the near term. Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd notes that historically, emerging markets tend to outperform during the onset of a rate-cut cycle in the U.S. “Indian markets, backed by robust fundamentals, remain resilient despite concerns over valuations. Large-cap stocks, particularly in the private banking sector, continue to look attractive, fueling the current bullish momentum. This positive trend is expected to persist unless significant negative developments arise on the domestic or global front”, he highlights. Mr. Pradeep Gupta, Co-founder &amp; Vice-chairman, Anand Rathi Group notes that this rate cut comes with some short-term benefits for the country, which means stronger rupee and potential capital inflows. "A stronger rupee would make imports cheaper, potentially improving India’s trade balance. However, these advantages may be temporary if the US economy continues to weaken. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may follow the Fed’s lead but not immediately. Improved global sentiment could drive a rally in <keyword id="19991358" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Indian-markets" source="keywords">Indian markets</keyword>, as emerging economies like India become more attractive to investors", notes Gupta. But note that in the longer term, the direction of the Indian stock market will depend largely on global economic conditions, and particularly the health of the US economy. If the US achieves a “soft landing”, as is targeted by Fed, and avoids a recession, Indian equities may experience gradual growth. However, if the global outlook deteriorates, Indian markets—especially mid and small-cap segments, could come face to face with increased volatility and market downturns. <h2>What should your investment strategy be?</h2>SEBI registered Investment Advisor Gaurav Goel advises having a thorough look at your portfolio whenever the equity markets hit a fresh high. Look, it is practically impossible to time the markets. But, as a smart investor, markets hitting a fresh high is a good time to rebalance your portfolio, so that you can cushion your funds from any significant downturn that will invariably stem from any market downturns thereafter "When equities hit all time highs, there is a natural tendency of equity component of your asset allocation to breach the prescribed asset allocation. In such a situation, on should reassess the asset allocation and shave off excess percentages from the equity allocation to revert to the mean". Goel also suggests hedging a portion of your portfolio by buying naked long dated put options on benchmark index like Nifty 50. This way, you'd be able to benefit from a decrease in the prices of underlying assets, without having to own it. But most importantly, "At these crests, its important to shuffle your portfolio. Remove the crap, low-value stocks that might have made their in your portfolio during bullish phase, and replace with high quality stocks. Shift your assets more toward the large cap stocks/index funds where the volatility would be less or towards sector/market caps, which are less expensive on valuations", Goel continued. As for traders looking to make the most of the ongoing upward trajectory of the market, Osho Krishan, Senior Analyst, Technical &amp; Derivatives, Angel One, advises "capitalizing on the upward momentum by taking profits, rather than adopting an aggressive stance in the overbought territory". "From a technical perspective, we have entered a phase where the market is overbought, as indicated by various metrics. Therefore, it is crucial to avoid complacency and instead adopt a practical and realistic approach to the current situation", he continued. Anirudh Garg- Founder and Fund Manager at Invasset PMS explains that "When markets hit an all-time high, investors need to reassess their strategies to navigate potential risks while still capitalizing on opportunities. However, it’s essential to understand that not every market high signals overvaluation. There’s a key difference between markets reaching record levels and being fundamentally expensive. Identifying this distinction helps avoid premature decisions based solely on market peaks". "In particular, when mid-cap and small-cap stocks exhibit stretched valuations, investors should shift their focus to high-quality companies. These are firms with robust balance sheets, consistent earnings growth, and strong competitive advantages, often found in sectors linked to steady inflation", says Garg. Naturally, quality stocks tend to be more resilient in volatile environments, offering stability and better protection against downside risk. Also, don't forget to keep an eye out for the risk-reward ratio, which becomes critical during expensive markets. This involves diversifying portfolios, avoiding overexposure to overheated sectors, and focusing on capital preservation while seeking reasonable returns.

"The Night Manager" is the only entry from India across 14 categories at the nominations that were announced on Thursday in New York by the International Academy of Television Arts &amp; Sciences (IATAS). The series, directed by <keyword id="23240351" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sandeep-Modi" source="keywords">Sandeep Modi</keyword> and <keyword id="23246289" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Priyanka-Ghose" source="keywords">Priyanka Ghose</keyword>, is adapted from both -- the John le Carre's novel and the British show, starring Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman. "The Night Manager" will compete with French show "Les Gouttes de Dieu" (Drops of God), "The Newsreader - Season 2" from Australia and "Iosi, El Espia Arrepentido" season two from Argentina in the category. Kapur, who essayed the titular Night Manager, said he is happy that his series debut received an International Emmy nod and it is a "big moment" for the entire team. "An Emmy Nomination for my first series.. wow! From day one, we knew that we were creating something special with The Night Manager but for it to receive so much love and recognition across the country, and the world was not something any of us had imagined. This is such a big moment for us all!" he said. In the Indian take, Kapur played Shaan Sengupta, a hotel night manager, who goes undercover to bring down the empire of arms dealer Shaildendra 'Shelly' Rungta (played by Anil Kapoor). Kapoor said he is "ecstatic" over the nomination, which is a "worthy reminder" that hard work always pays off. "It's just been brought to my attention that our Indian adaptation of 'The Night Manager' has been nominated for an International Emmy. I remember when the offer came in, I was conflicted. It offered me the opportunity to play a character so complex, but also, on the other hand, the huge responsibility of trying to add newness and authenticity to a part that had been played so masterfully by Hugh Laurie. "This validation from the Emmys, in addition to the tremendous love that we have received from fans worldwide, is a worthy reminder that hard work always pays.. I am ecstatic and hungrier than ever before for what's to come," the actor said. Also starring Tillotama Shome, Saswata Chatterjee and Ravi Behl, "The Night Manager" is produced by The Ink Factory and Banijay Asia for Disney+ Hotstar. Dhulipala, who played Kaveri, said the news of the show's nomination is "motivating and moving". "This is such fantastic news! I'm so happy for the directors Sandeep Modi and Priyanka Ghose as well as our phenomenal technical crew. Big shout out to Anil Sir, Aditya, Tillotama and the rest of the cast for this exciting moment and shared joy!" she added. Modi said he is beyond happy that "The Night Manager" is the only Indian nomination at the 2024 <keyword id="23246288" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="International-Emmys" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="International Emmys" meta.hostid="83" meta.entityid="International Emmys">International Emmys</keyword>. "With The Night Manager, the most challenging thing was to tell the story again in a way that it would appeal to the audiences. Each character has been crafted meticulously, in a way that they connect with the Indian audiences and the ethos," he added. The International Emmys, to be held in New York on November 25, will be hosted by Indian comedian Vir Das, who won an award last year for his stand-up special "Landing". Nominees for International Emmys come from different countries such as Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, India, Chile, Colombia, France, Japan, Germany and many others. "Every year the international television community competes to be recognized on the International Emmys' much coveted global stage," said International Academy President &amp; CEO Bruce L Paisner. "We congratulate the Nominees for their outstanding programs and performances, they are once again a testament to the universal appeal of great storytelling across all genres, countries and cultures," Paisner added. The other nominee categories are for best performance by an actor, actress, comedy, documentary, non-scripted entertainment, short-form series, sports documentary, telenovela, TV movie / mini-series, kids: animation, kids: factual, kids: live-action.

"In view of the payment of the amount of Rs 6.57 crore due under the certificate, the said certificate is hereby completed," the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) said in its recovery order. The amount included interest and other charges. The regulator in December ordered the attachment of bank and demat accounts of Sahara India Real Estate Corporation (now known as Sahara Commodity Services Corporation), Subrata Roy, <keyword id="1595961" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ashok-roy-choudhary" source="Orion">Ashok Roy Choudhary</keyword>, Ravi Shanker Dubey and <keyword id="15891249" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="vandana-bharrgava" source="Orion">Vandana Bharrgava</keyword> to recover Rs 6.42 crore for violating regulatory norms in the issuance of OFCDs (Optionally Fully Convertible Debentures). This amount included interest, all costs, charges and expenses. The recovery proceedings were initiated against these entities after they failed to pay Rs 6 crore fine imposed on them by SEBI in June 2022. The case relates to the issuance of OFCDs by Sahara India Real Estate Corporation and Sahara Housing Investment Corporation during 2008-09. The companies raised money through the public issue of securities by issuing OFCDs without following the various procedures intended to protect the interest of the investors, in respect of public issues, prescribed under the norms. According to SEBI, the subscription towards the OFCDs was solicited by the two companies from the general public throughout the country, without adequately informing them about the risks involved in the instruments. The issuance was allegedly done in contravention of the provisions of the SEBI's ICDR (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations and PFUTP (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices).

And analysts say it could be just what Dropbox needs to execute on its promise to refocus on selling its services to larger businesses. Jackson <a href="https://twitter.com/tjack/status/983380917103165440">announced via Twitter</a> on Monday a new role at First Round Capital as its first-ever founder in residence. His job will be to advise startup founders in the First Round portfolio, and to launch a Los Angeles edition of the firm's Product Program - a masterclass for early-career product managers. "We're grateful for all the contributions Todd made to Dropbox over the past 2.5 years. While we'll miss him greatly, we wish him all the best in his new role at First Round," a Dropbox spokesperson tells Business Insider. Jackson could not be reached for comment.Dropbox hasn't named a replacement for Jackson yet, but for the time being, the company has confirmed that its product organization will be managed by Quentin Clark, Dropbox's senior VP of engineering, product and design. Clark, who was Jackson's boss, joined Dropbox in September, after two years at SAP and two decades at Microsoft - which is to say he's extremely familiar with business-to-business technology products. "From the looks of things, one would say this news was a hard-to-turn-down opportunity for Todd, but also a leadership adjustment to put Dropbox on a more solid money-making path. That might be welcomed news for investors," Gartner research director Karen Hobert said. Before joining Dropbox in 2015, Jackson spent his career doing product management across some of the biggest companies in tech: Google, Facebook and Twitter. He's a big name in Silicon Valley - but not one associated with enterprise-grade subscription market that Dropbox is looking to conquer. <div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">First RoundDropbox VP of product Todd Jackson left the company this week.</div></div></div>"Todd's background is predominantly startups for consumer products over pure business products," Hobert said. "Given that, his leaving might be an indication of more investment in monetizing and growing the enterprise side of the business - which Dropbox needs to do." When Dropbox filed for its IPO at the end of February, the 11-year-old company made public for the first time that the company isn't profitable. Only 11 million of Dropbox's 500 million registered users <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/dropbox-11-million-users-and-300000-work-teams-pay-for-its-service-2018-2">pay to use the service</a>, according to its S-1. But the company has 300 million users that it has identified as likely to convert to the paid model, and winning over these users is part of its strategy to become profitable. "They need a solid enterprise leader for that plan," Hobert said.And while it's a big deal for any company to lose an executive so soon after its IPO, analysts don't foresee there being a big impact on business in the near term."Customers are a trailing indicator and product changes will begin to show up in the roadmap in six months or beyond," IDC research director Terry Frazier said. "If the current product and roadmap are acceptable, they will buy. If that changes in six months or a year, they will not. That's when customers will begin voting on the change. "<h2>First Round was an early investor in Jackson's startup </h2>What may have been a liability at Dropbox is an asset in the eyes of First Round. "This career arc makes Todd a rare breed," First Round <a href="https://medium.com/@firstround/welcoming-todd-jackson-as-a-founder-in-residence-at-first-round-5aa53780d125">said in an announcement</a>. "He's experienced enough to have helped build some of the most iconic products in tech, including Gmail. But he's also worked at the scrappiest end of the spectrum, scaling high-performance teams from scratch."Jackson first met with First Round in 2013 when he was fundraising for Cover, a startup he founded. Cover, which made a smart Android lock screen, was acquired by Twitter in 2014, and Jackson became Twitter's director of product management. In 2014, his wife Arielle - a veteran of Google and Square - joined First Round as a marketing expert in residence. Jackson left Twitter for Dropbox in 2015, just a few months after CEO Jack Dorsey reclaimed his role at the helm of social media company.Incidentally, when Jackson first joined Dropbox, he replaced Ilya Fushman, who left the company to join Index Ventures as a general partner. Fushman has since moved to another VC firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield &amp; Byers. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/dropbox-ceo-drew-houston-on-rejecting-steve-jobs-offer-2018-3">How one CEO went from rejecting an offer from Steve Jobs to an $11 billion IPO</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>

The series, which initially ran from 2005 to 2008, is a masterclass in animation, character development, and complex storytelling. Moreover, it still resonates with audiences today, coming to Netflix in full on May 15, much to the joy of the series' fans.It's easy to recognize the ways that "Avatar" set a precedent in Western animation in the 2010s, precipitating a wave of ambitious, character-driven storytelling that's easily seen in series like Wonderstorm's "The Dragon Prince" (it's showrunner, Aaron Ehasz, is an "Avatar" alum) or Cartoon Network's deeply empathetic "Steven Universe."What sets "Avatar" apart in 2020, 15 years after its debut, is its incredible worldbuilding, fleshed-out characters, and ability to make topics like war, trauma, and death comprehensible for younger audiences without pulling its punches. [Ed. Note: This article contains spoilers for "Avatar: The Last Airbender."]<h2>"Avatar" deftly crafts an immersive universe that its characters inhabit. </h2>For the uninitiated, the series takes place in a fantasy world split into four elemental nations: The Earth Kingdom, the Northern and Southern Water Tribes, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. As <a href="https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/5943jz/avatar-the-last-airbender-is-still-one-of-the-greatest-shows-of-all-time">Nicole Clark reported in Vice</a>, the series draws from a variety of Asian cultures, particularly that of China. The series brought on the vice president of the group Media Action Network for Asian Americans as a consultant in order to check that everything from character design to the show's art style was done sensitively. In the show, certain people have the ability to "bend" one of the four elements, with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iisrUSi7Kgw&amp;feature=emb_titleitle">bending styles drawing upon martial arts styles</a> ranging from Tai Chi to Northern Shaolin Kung Fu. One individual known as the Avatar is gifted with the power to bend all four. In return, they're tasked with maintaining balance in the world and serving as a bridge between mortals and spirits.<div type="image" title="aang avatar cosmic power crossroads of destiny" height="663" width="884" msid="75753567" hostid="261"></div>In "Avatar: The Last Airbender," that's Aang, a whimsical 12-year-old Airbender who learns in the series' first episode that his people were wiped out as a result of a genocidal war waged by the Fire Nation while he was frozen in an iceberg for 100 years. In turn, the world has been without an Avatar for a century, leaving the balance skewed. The initial device of Aang being an Avatar displaced in time helps to flesh out the history of the universe. He consistently harkens back to things he remembers from his childhood, whether it's bygone Fire Nation slang or old schemes he used to get up to with a friend in one of the Earth Kingdom's biggest cities. From the get-go, it's clear that "Avatar's" vibrant history is key to understanding the political machinations of its present. While the Fire Nation is the indubitably the biggest enemy, the Earth Kingdom capital city, Ba Sing Se, is fraught with corruption; the Northern Water Tribe closed itself off in the face of the war, leaving the Southern Water Tribe to fend for itself.The "Avatar" universe is so compelling that its creators have regularly revisited it. There's "<a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2014/12/korra-series-finale-recap-gay-asami">The Legend of Korra</a>," a sequel series that follows the next Avatar, Korra, through her own struggles 70 years after the events of Avatar. Going into the past, there's "<a href="https://www.polygon.com/2019/7/24/20703880/the-rise-of-kyoshi-avatar-the-last-airbender-fc-yee-interview">The Rise of Kyoshi</a>" and its forthcoming sequel "The Shadow of Kyoshi," YA novels penned by F.C. Yee that dive hundreds of years into the past to focus on Avatar Kyoshi's origin and life. <h2>"Avatar" is character-driven, exploring complex themes through personal stories</h2>While Aang is the Avatar, he's not alone in his quest: early on in the series, he groups up with Katara and Sokka, the pair of Southern Water Tribe siblings who awaken him from his 100-year slumber. Along the way, the trio picks up accomplices like Toph, a blind Earth Kingdom heiress who teaches herself how to use her Earthbending to "see," or Suki, a warrior from the Earth Kingdom who follows traditions set by Avatar Kyoshi. Each of "Avatar's" primary characters go through extensive character development across the course of the series' three seasons, suddenly seeming much older than their 12 to 16 years by the end of it all. <div type="image" title="aang katara hugging sozin's comet" height="649" width="866" msid="75753570" hostid="261"></div>Just as crucial, however, is the show's ensemble cast, who ground the show's narrative by showing the impact that the war has had on people outside of the Avatar's inner circle.<h2>"Avatar" features one of the best redemption arcs ever.</h2>Zuko, the disgraced Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, is arguably the series' most compelling character. He's first introduced as a villain, attempting to capture Aang in order to bring him back to his father, the Fire Lord, and restore his honor. Like others, he's also been wounded by the Fire Nation, and he bears it in a visible scar that occupies half of his face.Guided by his uncle Iroh, a military hero who typically prefers to wax poetic over a cup of tea, Zuko's change across the series is the most dramatic. Initially guided by a single focus — capture the Avatar to restore his honor — repeated interactions with Team Avatar and others outside the Fire Nation continually challenge Zuko's worldview. In one pivotal moment, he and Katara learn that even as rivals, they share something in common: both of their mothers were taken by the Fire Nation. Down the line, Zuko and Aang learn the secrets of Firebending side by side.<div type="image" title="aang and zuko firebending masters" height="651" width="868" msid="75753574" hostid="261"></div>Zuko's journey is far from simple, and involves quite a bit of prodding from his uncle Iroh, who serves as one of the series' moral centers. Across three seasons, Zuko's worldview fundamentally shifts as he comes to terms with the fact that his honor isn't tied solely to appeasing his father. From the get-go, it's clear that his path will be the least straightforward out of any of the main cast, particularly as he falters, realizes his mistakes, and tries again and again.<h2>"Avatar: The Last Airbender" set a precedent for cartoons in the 2010s</h2>At this point, "Avatar" feels like canon in the world of cartoons — returning to the series in 2020 makes it clear how its empathetic storytelling and ambitious worldbuilding set a precedent for series like its sequel spin-off, "The Legend of Korra," or shows like "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power," a Dreamworks series helmed by "Nimona's" Noelle Stevenson that released its final season on May 15 as well. Elements of "Avatar's" ruminations of inherited trauma and war are apparent in series like Cartoon Network's "Steven Universe," which focuses on a half-human, half-alien boy who is <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2019/9/2/20842447/steven-universe-the-movie-review-spoilers">continuously forced to deal with the implications of his deceased mother's decisions</a> while ensuring alongside his mentors that Earth doesn't become part of an intergalactic conflict. There are echoes of Zuko's redemption in <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2018/12/4/18124396/she-ra-netflix-noelle-stevenson-interview-catradora">Catra, one of "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power's" villains,</a> as she grapples with pursuing her ambitions in an organization that's tearing her apart and her lack of willingness to admit defeat in any way to Adora, her former best friend turned sworn enemy. The <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2018/9/23/17883268/the-dragon-prince-writers-season-2-video-game-world-building">ambitious worldbuilding in "The Dragon Prince"</a> tackles a new universe with the potential to be just as vast as that of "Avatar."<div type="image" title="the dragon prince netflix" height="800" width="1067" msid="75753576" hostid="261"></div>That's not to say that the animated canon of the 2010s drew directly from "Avatar's" pedigree. Rather, "Avatar" set a standard in storytelling, proving that it was possible to tackle difficult stories in 23-minute chunks ostensibly targeted towards children and young adults. Continued interest in the franchise today and across the past decade is also testament to its impact: aside from the fact that there's still new canon yet to be added into the universe, the series also established the <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Alternate%20Universe%20-%20Avatar%20*a*%20Benders%20Setting/works">popular "Avatar &amp; Benders" fanfiction subset</a> in which writers imagine characters from other franchises taking on the Avatar role. That's not to mention <a href="https://www.insider.com/avatar-the-last-airbender-netflix-nickelodeon-reaction-gifs-zuko-meme-2020-5">the "Avatar" memes</a> that are still pervasive online.<h2>It's not a reach to call "Avatar: The Last Airbender" one of the best TV series of all time</h2>While it's easy to be dissuaded by overarching, superlative claims that certain series are "must-watches," "Avatar" truly fits the bill. Aside from the aforementioned points, it has a laundry list of redeeming qualities ranging from its anime-influenced animation style to its lush, percussive score to its unflagging goofy sense of humor. Ultimately, though, the series' compelling characters and overwhelming sense of empathy is what makes it truly great. With the series coming to Netflix, it's once again set to be easily accessible for those with a subscription, opening the door for everyone to re-experience one of the best animated series together — no matter if it's for the very first time or the 50th.<ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/avatar-the-last-airbender-netflix-nickelodeon-reaction-gifs-zuko-meme-2020-5">'Avatar: The Last Airbender'c omes to Netflix on May 15.
