The Awesome Avatar
Bring it on! I absolutely love Avatar. It is so hard to find good, family friendly cartoons these days that teach good morals and values. I mean, I grew up on Digimon and Card Captor which were okay, and then you had the book of Virtues that was good to. But I must say Avatar trumps them all! If there was ever a show that could capture the hearts of all audiences it is, Avatar, The Last Airbender.
Friendship, family, and honor never had a better representative. Not to mention that I love when the seasons come out in these excellent boxed sets so that you can get the whole season without a billion DVD cases. It's almost as fun as buying the extended versions of Lord of the Rings. Okay, not really but you get the point. If your hesitant don't be, this is a family fun film that you will enjoy again and again. My family has seen almost every episode five times already and we're still ready for more. We are anxiously awaiting the release of The Complete book three. Even my Dad can't wait to sit down and watch it with us.
My compliments to the writers and the animators on their hard work with Avatar. The plot keeps you involved and rarely slows. Trust me, this is a purchase you won't regret!! It far surpases Spong Bob Squarepants anyday. I'll admit he looks kinda cute but that's as far as I go. I could never understand a show that was so meaningless in its existance. What can you learn from those episodes? Rating:

Avatar - sensational!
this would have to be one of the best animated series ever created! I am a big fan of all cartoons and menga, but this really tops it. I love the characters, the storyline, and importantly the care they took into researching the kung fu styles. Did u know they're making a movie!!!! CANT WAIT! ... oh and its for ALL ages, Brilliant!

Truely wonderful
If you've never seen Anime before, this isn't it. What it is however is a near perfect synthesis of east meets west, both in terms of Animation and of Content. So much of Western Animation is episodic, where each episode does little or nothing to advance a greater plot or story. This is serial, with most episodes moving the story forward bit by bit, step by step. The four elements are western in design (there are five elements in chinese and japanese ideology, three of which are solids), but eastern in conceptualization.
Ang himself is very Tibetan, a reincarnated individual who's recognition as the newest Avatar (featured in this season) is remarkably similar to the way the Dalai Lama is selected (see Kundun for more about that). A wonderful mixture of childish glee and world weary ancientness, he is everything Harry Potter isn't, responsible, hard working, and self motivating. Plus he seldom whines. Even his spiritual mentor, that wonderful addition to the Bearded Wiseone's club, Roku, the previous Avatar, is helpful and supportive in all the right ways. If you liked Harry Potter, you'll really like this.
Season Two features my favorite addition to the cast, Toph, the blind Earth Bender, who's snarky attitude and general roughness is balanced by her vulnerability and carefully concealed compassion.
This is not just a show for kids, but rather for everyone who likes animation, action, adventure, and good old fashion story telling. Its not too preachy, but does carry a good amount of moral lessions. I highly recommend this show to anyone... and I bought all three seasons (well, preordered the third) based upon watching a total of two episodes. I was not dissapointed, and neither will you be.

My 14 year old son really likes this. I can't get into it, but its not geared at the 30s crowd. |
