Nickelodean's "Avatar: The Last Airbender" Discusion

[Nizuma Eiji]

^^^Wow a live action movie being written, produced, & directed by M. Night Shyalaman. I hope it doesnt end with some lame ass plot twist.

[Graham Aker]

I just cant see how Aangs can win against Ozai when he fails at beating her HAWT daughter...

anyway, ^lol
Shyalaman has a fetish for plot twists

[drache]

Well he actually was doing okay and once he learns fire he should have a much better shot.

[Luckyday]

I don't about you guys but I got a sickly feeling that the show is canceled.:notrust
I really hope the show comes back by the time of September.:cry

[Haruno Sakura]

I want the third season to come out already! Jeez, it's been half a year!

[ReikaiDemon]

Well, from the Avatar marathon coming up on nick, I don't think it would be long until the new season airs.

[Luckyday]

And when will that marathon be?:huh

[ReikaiDemon]

And when will that marathon be?:huh
I forget, I just saw the commercial this morning, it's called the Baddest Bender marathon. Bit of a funny choice of words though <.<

[drache]

Well it has also been confirmed by Nick, that the death of the person playing Ario delayed the show alot. And the creators have confirmed that Nick was unsually late in ordering a 3rd season.

I think these factors are why Fire has been delayed.

[Kai]

LoL @ Avatar live action movie. I have considerable doubts for its success.

I'm growing impatient for season 3!! Reveal Ozai's face!! :yell

[Jeroen]

smile-big Avatar is coolhttp://img341.imageshack.us/img341/6885/avatarjobyg6.png

[rockst☆r sin]

So how many episodes does Book 1 and 2 have? I'm really into it and I usually watch it on the Nicktoons network but they always repeat. I didn't even see Toph yet.

[natwel]

It's called avatar legend of Aang. It's themes go along the lines of Xoulin showdown, and Bo bo bo bo bo where american authors have tried to make a chinese themed show using historical research and failed. I think i'd actually enjoy a show that was ripped off Naruto, it'd be a challenge to see if they can take the best bits out of it and make it better than Naruto.

However I have found 2 brand new shows that are clearly rip offs of Yu Gi Oh(not including Yu Gi Oh GX) and they have been seriously americanised, kiddyised and stripped of authenticity.

[Robotkiller]

I posted this before

This is a quote from Beckett magazine: Pokemon on an article that is about avatar.

"Steve: I understand Nickelodeon signed on for 3 more seasons. That means there will be at least 6. In the past, you said you had a pretty complete story idea that would only be 3 seasons. If this is true, what happens to aang and Co. after season 3?"

"BRYAN KONIETZKO: We havent changed our original plan and aim with this story and these characters since the day we pitched it 5 years ago. Lets just say it's too early to say what we have in store next, but we are excited, so we hope the fans will be too."

"MIKE DIMARTINO: Although this part of Aang's story ends w/ Season 3, we're really excited about the "Avatar" Live action movie that M. Night Shyamalan is writing, producing, and directing. The first movie will encompass all of aang & company's adventures from Season 1- well, mabey not all of them. It's hard to fit all those stories into 2 hours"


not mine, other person's comment from other group
(If what they are saying is true, then there will be 120 episodes in all! AND A LIVE MOVIE!!!! I cant wait.And if anyone wants proof, check Beckett: Pokemon issue 90. May 2007.)

Holy hand basket:wtf

This made my day.

[Graham Aker]

more Avatar? after Fire? Fantastic!

[Robotkiller]

I just hope they don't jump the shark and start adding elements or tacking on new abilities to increase the show's airtime.

Maybe they'll just use an entirely new cast of characters? Or adventures of past avatars!:wtf

[SLEDGE]

wow, i just saw an ep on nickelodeon, and shorta got interested... and i had already seen someone with a "spoiler" :amuse pic of Ank, so i saw some ep on dailymotion.com and so far i've loved it :)

however dailymotion dosen't have all the episodes... and thats unfortunet, so... do any off you know any where to download the eps, or stream them?

[Robotkiller]

Go into the forum search function and look for the "Avatar pimping project"

I believe it's in the library second floor.

[Muk]

sooo any news when season 3 starts? or has it started already?

[drache]

Nothing offical yet, the most reliable I've heard is July 17 i think.

[Morwain]

July 17th huh thats sounds nice better than it starting in fall thats for sure.

[Alálà]

I think if it were to be in July, it would have been advertised by now. And especially not July 17. That's in two weeks.

To be honest, though I really enjoy the show, I don't think it'll be best to stretch the original plans too much. It could be nice for marketing, but it can become watered down very easily. I'm not even too comfortable with their being a movie of it already even though the series isn't over... that's the main reason for such delay for part 3.

I just don't want it to fade like Samurai Jack. Though, Samurai Jack is working on a movie.

[Nizuma Eiji]

Yup yup. Still waiting for the series to start back up. It wouldnt be that bad waiting if we could get an upadte.

[tinhamodic]

M. Night Shyamalan writing, directing and producing this? You just know he'll have himself animated somehow in the movie as he has appeared in most of his movies. Anyway, super exciting!

[Nizuma Eiji]

^^Yaw I guess. But like I said, I just hope he does it right & doesnt throw a plot twist in there.

[Graham Aker]

isnt M. Night Shyamalan's avatar film a live-action adaptation?

[Hat Hair]

Three more seasons after Fire, huh ? I have no idea what's coming next; it actually feels a bit wrong that this is going beyond a trilogy even if it does turn out to be a different story with different characters. I dunno, I'm looking forward to it either way, but three seasons seemed like a lock. Hopefully we won't be waiting a year between seasons.

[Nizuma Eiji]

isnt M. Night Shyamalan's avatar film a live-action adaptation?

Yeap it is. :cry

[Freiza]

lol at OP, i love watching this show, it's very unique and the fights are animated well.

[tinhamodic]

Oops, my bad, I thought it was going to be an anime movie! That's what happens when you speed read! Still the same though, about Shyamalan being in the movie.

[Lord Snow]

From: http://avatarspirit.net/

It's official. San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC) will have a panel dedicated to season three of Avatar: The Last Airbender! The panel will take place on Saturday, at 10:30AM. The SDCC website contains the following description:

"10:30-11:30 Into the Fire Nation: Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender, Season 3 Sneak Peek"

"Get a first look at what's to come in the third season, including clips from new episodes; a visual tour of the Fire Nation from show creator Bryan Konietzko and director Joaquim Dos Santos (Justice League); insider information from the show's head writer Aaron Ehasz (Futurama); and a voice-over demonstration from Dee Baker (The Fairly OddParents), who voices Appa and Momo. Don't forget to come in your Avatar costume—there will be a very special prize for the best one! Moderated by Eric Coleman, VP/executive producer, animation production and development. Room 6A"

# Season 3 will feature an episode with Avatar Roku and Fire Lord Sozin, where "a lot of [our] questions about Roku and Sozin will be addressed" (AvatarSpirit.net Interview with the Creators)
# Joshua Hamilton wrote an episode in season 3 in which Katara and Toph have another altercation (Commentary on "The Chase" on the Book 2, Volume 2 DVD)
# The title of 3.06 is likely to startle the fandom if it's revealed (inside source)
# Season 3 is the last season of Avatar, for now (inside source)
# The season 3 finale, otherwise known as the series finale, will conclude as a three-episode single night event on television (inside source)

Also TV.com has some Season 3 episode titles(although no air date):


The Awakening
The Headband
The Painted Lady
Sokka's Master
The Beach

Episode 307: The Runaway
Episode 308: The Puppetmaster

I am just posting this in case it hasn`t been posted before.

[Freiza]

this show is pretty good, if i do say so myself. the fight scenes are beautiful and the bending powers are pretty original IMO

[drache]

Honestly the concept of bending powers isn't totally orignal, but it's a nicely written story that's very complete and thought out. Though the show has changed subtly from book 1 to book 2

[Zhealot]

I like the show because:

1. Good fighting sequences, very nicely animated and you can tell the writers has put down alot of effort to the them right.

2. Good dialogues, alot of warmth and humour.

3. Minimal amounts of fillers and the few fillers there is are very good "tales of ba sing se".

4. The characters, you just gotta love everyone of them, espec Iroh!

[Tuxx]

Nani!?!?

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=7629

http://i18.tinypic.com/54bpme1.jpg

[Lord Snow]

Aang looks awsome on that cover.

[C_Akutabi]

Aang grew hair!!!:nuts :lmao

[Zhealot]

zomg, nooo Aang dont grow hair, well maybe a beard.

[The Drunken Monkey]

Wth man, they haven't aired this on TV yet and already DVD?

Damn slow producers.

[drache]

Not the producers fault, Nick signed up for a 3rd season really late (i think right around the time season 2 was ending)

And the voice actor for Zuko's uncle died (his name escapes me).

[Linkdarkside]

also Aang is using a fire bender suit in that picture

[Tash]

There must be a considerable time lapse between the seasons if he has hair. Also I wonder what they're going to do with the king of ba sing se. Remember he flew off with them in the finale.

[Ema Skye]

Yay! Avatar the third season might be shown on September (well after 9/11 because that is when the complete set of book 2 is going to be released)

Now all we need left is a advertising for the third season :)

[Serp]

:wtf this looks great

[Ichi-chan]

Episode 308: The Puppetmaster

Hmm, Puppet Master! ^^ Cool.
A...Aang with hair! I wonder if that's real...

[Morwain]

Interesting I've been wondering what the air date was gonna be....I've been waiting forever....I hope this is real I need more avatar I wanna know what happens. :cry

[Nizuma Eiji]

Yes its real. Here's what they posted at Avatarspirit.net A site known for conducting interviews & such with the series & creators & people involved with the series. So basically they're reliable as hell.

The awesome cover art at left (click on the thumbnail to see the full size version) has the Gaang in Fire Nation garb, and, as many have been speculating would be the case, Aang with a full head of hair. This revealing cover art, along with the release date being announced before the episodes have even aired, has caused some controversy in the forum over the authenticity of this information. To settle this fast, we contacted Dave Lambert, the News Director for TVShowsOnDVD.com. He confirmed the information and indicated that TVShowsOnDVD.com gets its information right from Paramount's password protected press website.

If the cover art is any judge, season three looks worth the wait! Let's hope for more good news at SDCC!

[Hat Hair]

Interesting; what's that weapon Sokka's handling, a sword ? Wonder if that'll be a plot point, 'cause the kid could use a skill boost.

[Protect_The_Butter]

God Aang nooooooooo. His hair is ugly.

[Nizuma Eiji]

Ahh chill out. Its just a cover pick. You already know how the cover & show art is pretty different. Wait until you actually see his hair in the show.

[Tash]

his hair is probaly to hide the air bender tattoos. ( Remember he has to learn firebending so he'll probaly look for a master in the fire nation). If you notice his sleeves come up to perfectly cover the tats on his arms. He'll probaly enroll under a master but not tell the master he is the avatar, but just lead him to think he is a young firebender.

[Nizuma Eiji]

Yea thats what they were saying at Distant Horizon. The hair is supposed to cover up his airbender tattoos. Another theory is that if there's really an episode titled the headband, aang might use that to cover up the rest of the tattoo.

[Robotkiller]

Sokka's Master
Are we going to see some bad ass sword-wielding sokka?:wtf

[Trias]

His new sword like weapon (looks like a Rapier, kinda, but he doesn't wield it like a rapier... confusing.) looks badass, so we may really get to see some bad ass swordman sokka when he's not busy being the comic-relief guy.

[Jetstorm]

That cover looks awesome. I can't wait for te third season.

[Nizuma Eiji]

It has nothing to do with what we're talking about but it is Avatar related. Here's a pic drawn my 1 of avatar's directors. He's also confirmed the cover being real on his DA account. The pic is of Hooter's Katara.

[Chatulio]

God Aang nooooooooo. His hair is ugly.

Hey at least he is not blond =/

[Acidblood7]

Too bad thats the only place Aang will grow some hair.

[Dimezanime20]

Fanart of Book 3 Aang:

[kill-u-4-$]

to me that serious never appealed to me but then again it was nickalodions first anim i think...

[Dr@gon_Archer]

Quite An interesting show, no doubt. They need to play it up on the Action a little bit more.

[Hell On Earth]

So what day and time do they play the new episodes?

[JB the Jedi]

I can't wait for Book 3.

I've been waiting for Sokka to kick some ass, hopefully him kicking ass won't make him less hilarious.

Fire Lord Ozai!?!?:wtf

[Trias]

Fire Lord Ozai!?!?:wtf

No; his head is totally bald; he can't be from Fire Nation Royalty, for they always grow a piece of hair on top of their hairs as a sign of Royalty and stick them with a special thing.

Plus, he looks, somehow, way too good to be Fire Lord Ozai. Ozai is a simple tyrant, I can't imagine Ozai having eyes like these, nor this guy having a voice like Ozai's. Even though he doesn't look so much friendly, I bet he's a neutral guy (kinda like Zuko and many others who aren't really evil or good) if not a good guy.

[Red]

It has nothing to do with what we're talking about but it is Avatar related. Here's a pic drawn my 1 of avatar's directors. He's also confirmed the cover being real on his DA account. The pic is of Hooter's Katara.

I just started it, but thanks to nicks love of repeating things I'm still stcuk at the part where he learns water bending from the master of bending at the north (or is it south?) pole. what episode and book is that?

If it is I'd like to see a link proving it. I've heard a bunch of rumors and so far all have been wrong. Though of course I'd like it to be true.

That's good news. Avatar finally returns.

Red doesn't suit Toph (with her eyes being the color they are).

Hope Season 3 has more instances of Toph kicking ass now that she...(nothing that major)

can "bend" metal.

[\zol]

Yeah, there wasn't any noticeable shots of her in the trailer(she was there just got to look hard though), but nothing the way Sokka or Katara had. Who knows, but yeah she should have a good one with her ability.

Didn't see Suki at all... hope she didn't die. Doubt Azula would kill her(not for the reason that she wouldn't, but just didn't find her worthy)

[Linkdarkside]

the new season look kick ass cant wait

[Robotkiller]

Gawd, I can't believe that the creators actually paired zuko up with someone.

I sense a disturbance in the shipping force.

Its perfectly possible she is dead, since they didn't mind killing Jet off.

[Graham Aker]

holy hell!
Fire is going to own so much!

I like the ZuMai ship ^_^

[Suzume]

holy hell!
Fire is going to own so much!

I like the ZuMai ship ^_^

Agreed. Season 3 is going to rock so much :amuse And technically, it's Maiko, but it doesn't matter :sweatdrop

I don't really like Mai as a love interest for Zuko. Until now, all she's been is emo, sarcastic comic relief in contrast to Ty Lee's perkiness, and it kind of makes for a boring relationship if she's so monotone all the time. If she shows more than that, I might be more open to the pairing. But as of now, I give it a thumbs down :(

[Seto Kaiba]

Season 3 looks awesome, can't wait for it to finally air.

[Magoichi]

Looking good! Come on Season #3! :nuts

in Avatar Portal its called ZuMai, but meh I dont really care hehehe :P

and she isnt really emo, the creators said she's just bored, anyway, with
Zuko being her man(lol that just sounds weird) I think she'll show more emotion...
I support this ship, mostly because I DETEST the Zutara ship... Kataang FTW!!! :yell

hehe... :laugh

[Trias]

Who are those firebender couple in the posted pics? They're adults and ...oh noes, twin hags doesn't look god in that outfit. ><

Yeah, I agree.
I mean, I don't really care much about who ends up with who, shipping doesn't mean much to me... but Maiko just seems really... Well, I dunno. I just wasn't expecting it, I suppose. XD; They just don't seem right together... I can't explain it. :noworry Well, the Avatar writers are a great, so I'm sure they know what their doing~
:woo

[Jizz]

I like Maiko as a ship.

[Shamandalie]

I just came in to say that I watched the whole first and second season last week, and I became completely obsessed with the show.

I'm a shameless Sokka fangirl.

It's a giant mushroom! Maybe it's friendly!

So, erh, yeh, hy fellow fans :laugh

And yeah, after the Naruto fandom, it's a big relief that I don't really support any pairings (maybe Sokka/anyone) :D Though I think Zuko/Mai is kinda... dull. But whatever :)

Anyone else think Katara looks like Jasmine in her new design? :D

[Morwain]

Season 3 looks amazing I love the new clothes...tis interesting the Zuko/Mai ship is well eh not my fav I can't wait September 21st can't come soon enough for me

[LIL_M0]

Man, I love this show!

[Waluigi]

Damn! I was hoping for KataZuko. Oh well, season 3 is still gonna rock my world!

[uncle jafuncle]

One of my closest friends is the guy who does all the moves they motion capture for Toph's fight sequences. Yes, Toph's moves are that of a male twenty year old kung-fu student. Well obviously he can't launch rocks or bend metal, but you know what I mean.

He got me into the show and now I'm hooked. He won't tell me anything about season 3 though, he just keeps saying, "Just wait. Toph dominates." and the like.

[Juubi]

I love this show. Can't wait for the new season to come out.

[C_Akutabi]

He got me into the show and now I'm hooked. He won't tell me anything about season 3 though, he just keeps saying, "Just wait. Toph dominates." and the like.

That's been obvious ever since she bent metal :nod

[Haruko]

When is it coming out?

[\zol]

Sept. 21st. Nick says they'll put a High Quality Season 3 trailer on their turbonick site.

[uncle jafuncle]

That's been obvious ever since she bent metal :nod

Yeah, I brought that up one time and asked him if Toph does anything crazy like crush a Fire Nation Battleship or slam two into each other. He laughed and gave me a look like, "is that all you're expecting?"

[Trias]

Hmm, a friend of mine said that in that trailer, while Mai was kissing Zuko, Zuko had LONG hair, which he hasn't, so it could be quite possible that Mai was dreaming in that scene; there is no Maiko.

I'm too lazy to check it.

[Haruko]

Hmm, a friend of mine said that in that trailer, while Mai was kissing Zuko, Zuko had LONG hair, which he hasn't, so it could be quite possible that Mai was dreaming in that scene; there is no Maiko.

I haven't seen it either, but it could be one of those interesting thinngs they put in trailers taken out of context.

Wouldn't put it past them. They've screwed with the shippers' heads before in the past.

*remembers the commercials for the episode when Zuko and Katara were in that cave*

[Jihad]

Does anybody know when there's gonna be a new friggin episode?? I thought Naruto was bad with airing shows.....I was way off. Avatar hasn't aired a new episode for like five months!!!!!! Is this the truth or am I just going crazy here????

[Nizuma Eiji]

^^^Its actually been around 8. But I get what you're saying.

[Twilight Deity Link]

September 21
yeah I can't wait but i've just now seen pretty much all the episodes

[Dimezanime20]

The Mai and Zuko thing is just something that seems like bullshit and makes no sense (on why them). Nothing is gain from it (except probably making Zutara fans shut the fuck up already). So it must've been a dream or something.

[Seto Kaiba]

There are supposed to be comics focused on Mai and Zuko that take place between Seasons 2 and 3 apparently. Also, there'll probably be a few episodes on it so it would make more sense. It seemed to work when they did it with Yue and Sokka, at least until she died...

That still hasn't silenced Zutara fans from what I've seen unfortunately...

[Tash]

Damn zutara fans:notrust on the up side sokka looks like he'll finally get the respect he deserves this book. He gets a new weapon and hes training so maybe he'll take down mai or some non bender. But I hope aangs hair doesnt make it past the end of this book.:nod

[Serene.Shinobi]

I love this show! I can't wait for season three from seeing the comic con trailer.

[Robotkiller]

I'm just glad Sokka finally does something besides bitch and sarcasm.

[Haruko]

I'm just glad Sokka finally does something besides bitch and sarcasm.

NOOOOOOO. He did something else?!?!? Why, Sokka, why?

[Morwain]

NOOOOOOO. He did something else?!?!? Why, Sokka, why?

Lols Well he had to do something else eventually.

Wonders if anyone else has seen the preview for Avatar on Nick (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFj-HZj0pbs&NR=1)

^^^Haha nope not at all. OMG you gotta love Aang.

[narutofangd]

Zutara ????

Well anyway iof he's anything like Zuko i like the guy

[Nizuma Eiji]

^^^Haha naw man, its not a person. Zutara is a ship between Zuko & Katara. Its a nickname for the two of them together.

The 2nd All-Avatar Nick mag is going in sale Sept. 18th, just 4 days before the Season 3 premiere for a outstanding $4.99 with 52 colored pages. Apparently this will be the canonical gap between the end of season 2 and beginning of season 3.

5 bucks is a steal. I'm definitely getting this. Lol, this most likely won't last me til Sept. 21st. Heh, maybe if I get a better scanner I'll probably upload.

Some preview scans:

Hehe, I don't get Zutara :sag
would it be considered a crack pairing?
Hm...I thought Aang+Katara was already canon =_=
Ah well.
It's nice to know that Japan anime is now affecting the works of
cartoons such as this. Go Japan! :occa

So wait, Aang's a hair-bender now?

[Morwain]

Lol
Katara:I like your Hair
Aang: I have hair how long was I out?
:rotfl :rotfl :rotfl
This season looks like it's gonna be good.

[Tash]

Kataang is canon.:yell But yea I wonder how much time has passed.

[Acidblood7]

Hehe, notice how they don't show a single thing between Aang and kataras relationship, going to be big :)

[Ichi-chan]

Hmm... the new season starts on Sept 21. That's the last day of summer! XD Weird how they start it then.

[Tash]

I wonder what you get when you cross bending races.

[\zol]

I wonder what you get when you cross bending races.

There's been lots of discussion on that in other places and they for the most part seem to believe it's based on spirit and gift. Remember those two twins in the Fortune Teller ep? One could bend and the other couldn't. So genetics can't really be in play, unless you look at the Fire Nation royal family. >.> meh just my take.

Did you know every Air Nomad was an Airbender? If you based bending on spirit and gift then Air Nomads are the most spiritual of any of the nations.

*Shrugs* Just my 2 cents.

[Morwain]

Did you know every Air Nomad was an Airbender? If you based bending on spirit and gift then Air Nomads are the most spiritual of any of the nations.

Interesting point never thought about that before but, I guess it makes sense since most of them were monks and they separated themselves from the other nations entirely.

[Twilight Deity Link]

I'm pretty sure there was a interview on Avatarspirit.net with the creators and they were talking about the genetics and all that. It's all really interesting to read.

Hey guys, I'm new around here.
What do you guys think about the whole angle involving Zuko, his uncle and Zuko going back to the Fire Nation? Can he still redeem himself in the eyes of the good guys?

[Solid Snake]

Hey guys, I'm new around here.
What do you guys think about the whole angle involving Zuko, his uncle and Zuko going back to the Fire Nation? Can he still redeem himself in the eyes of the good guys?

I still believe Zuko will end up being Aang's firebending teacher. I mean, who else is there? :oh

Zuko isn't a master, if anything I'd think it would be Zuko's uncle

[kakoishii]

^ yea Iroh way more skilled than Zuko at this point, heck Zuko still has learned to bend fire into lightning like Azula. Nevertheless I do think that in the end Zuko will end up teaming up with Aang, but the whole teacher thing is unlikely unless Iroh dies or something (which would suck).

[Shiranui]

It may have already been discussed but does anyone know when the new season will start?

[\zol]

Sept. 21st, but Sept. 18 will release the $4.99 comic with canonical info between ending of Season 2 and beginning of Season 3.

As for Aang's Fire teacher, Zuko is definitely out of the picture, he sacrificed a lot to get where he's at right now. As for Iroh, I doubt Aang and co will bust into the Fire Nation and break him out.

Aang already knows how to fire bend (even though he's a n00b that burned his girlfriend). I think he'll finally man up and attempt to perfect what he already knows.

Aang looks weird with hair...the arrow tattoo is really what makes it look weird....

Aang is Dominican! Hese got that dominican hair, we're brothers! :P

Season 3 looks pretty good though, I like the appearance of the characters and the roles they've taken, especially Zuko... for a second I though Zuko was kissing his sister but I forgot it was his sisters friend, I haven't seen the show in such a long time now.

[Superstarseven]

Hey how's it going? Avatar fan first, Naruto Shippuuden fan second. I came to know of Naruto after hearing people say that the two shows are similar which I guess for the people here would be the reverse situation. So I've been following the show since the break between "The Fury of Aang" and "Secret Of The Fire Nation" and I'm an Uber-fan.

Here are some cool looking scenes from upcoming episodes straight from the trailer. As you'll see Aang will be wearing a headband this season, not Konoha-issue but important nonetheless.

[Nizuma Eiji]

C'mon man nick dont want that shit on youtube. They only wanted it to be available on AvatarSpirit. But none the less, i was happy as hell when i found out they put it up in High Quality on their site.

[Manwë Súlimo]

Omega id, you do know that Nick has specifically asked that the HQ Season 3 trail not to be posted on Youtube, or any other video hosting site? And that Avatarspirit.net, which is the source of the vid, supports this request also?

If you want to see the video, go to Avatarspirit.net.

[Sylar]

Am I the only one who's noticed the lack of Toph in the trailer and in news of Season 3 in general?

Could Episode 6 be called 'The Death of Toph?'

[Omega id]

Yeah I'm aware of that but I don't really care. If someone is going to complain they should take it up with youtube and not me. It's the internet and if it's not on youtube it will end up on veoh or some other web-site either way.

It's the internet.

[Nizuma Eiji]

^^Whatever man, im just respecting nicks wishes. Becuase if it wasnt for them we might've never seen avatar at all. And what do you mean take it up with youtube??? They didnt make you upload the shit to they site.

[Omega id]

I'm saying, if you want that video to be taken off of youtube, to let them know so that they can take it down themselves (by either deleting my account or removing the video from their server themselves). Either way I don't care.

I like Avatar too. But tell me what the fuck is the difference? All I am really doing is showing people a better quality of the trailer, not some crappy camera rip, especially for those that have never heard of Avatar. Those that have heard of Avatar aren't probably even aware of AvatarSpirit.net (I never even knew that site existed until I decided to look at this thread again) so I'm doing Nick a favor. Thats the way I see it.

[Nizuma Eiji]

^^^Haha cant argue with you there. AvatarSpirit really does need to get their name out there more. Because it doesnt help for them to release a trailer not to many people have heard of. But like i said i was just respecting their wishes.

They can't kill her, she's my favorite...I don't think anything bad will happen. Since it is set in the Fire Nation and the final season, she probably won't get too much focus as Aang or Katara. They'd probably be too busy wrapping more important issues up.

Yea they better not kill Toph she's so new & so full of win. But I gotta agree with you there, she's gonna be alive just not getting as much attention as she deserves. With the whole Kataang situation needing to be wrapped up, & the big ass fight with the firelord that we've been building up to since season 1

[ShinobiOneKenobi]

Bad remake of Naruto... in every way.. if someone wants clarification on this.. just msg me and ill give you a long amount of reasons why

[Omega id]

I hope Toph plays a larger role than just a support character. In fact, I hope she becomes Aang's love interest instead of Katara.

@ShinobiOneKenobi

You want to compare Avatar to Naruto? Fine. Then I'll say Avatar is the better version of Naruto.

It doesn't drag on for billions of episodes, it gets to the point and the characters are a hell of a lot more interesting. Shikamaru should leave Narutoverse and step into Avatar world because he is too good for that show.

I'm satisfied.

EDIT: The only thing keeping me into Naruto is Akatsuki. If it wasn't for Akatsuki I would've abandoned the show. Even then, they made a lot of the Akatsuki members look like bitches. I won't go into detail for the sake of those that haven't read the manga.

EDIT2: I guess I have more to say...

Aang has developed way more than Naruto has in a few weeks/month than Naruto has in 2/3 years. The story is better than Naruto's too.

[ShinobiOneKenobi]

ok.. well first of all.. Avatar is about a kid who has magical powers and is one a chosen one of sorts.. There are 4 villages which control elements.. like naruto.. the chosen kid is an orphan. and is an away for a while and then is found by new found friends who he works with the defeat the evil.. ect ect.. but you are right in that it does get to the point a whole lot quicklier.. which is a fucking relief from the anime Fillers which are privilent most apparently in Naruto..

[Nizuma Eiji]

Bad remake of Naruto... in every way.. if someone wants clarification on this.. just msg me and ill give you a long amount of reasons why


Un huh, did you really believe yourself when you typed this out???

[Proxy]

Does anyone know when the new season will start?

[Omega id]

September 21st guy... it's being discussed... Theres a trailer for it.

[Nizuma Eiji]

^^^September 21st man.

@ShinobiOneKenobi you cant compare Avatar to Naruto because of the whole young kid with magical powers/the chosen one thing. Because thats just the typical shonen anime/manga hero. IE Goku(Dragonball), Ed(FMA), Naota(Furi Kuri), & Negi(Mahou Sensei Negima)

Unlike Naruto, Aang has had a sense of family before he was found by Katara. He was surrounded by friends at the Southern Air Temple, & even had various other friends in the other nations. He also had a father figure his whole life, again unlike naruto.

However while they did both go away for a period of time Aang was gone before Naruto left the leaf village. I mean the 1st season of avatar was probably being developed in the 03 - 04 time period seeing as how it debuted on Nick in early 2005. The series starts with aang having been frozen in the ice for 100 years, & like i said the script for this was probably written at least 3 or 4 years ago. Naruto left the leaf village for training in the manga in early as 5 as well. So there is no way that Avatar could have taken this idea from naruto.

[Proxy]

Thanks for the info.

[Superstarseven]

Actually it was only after he found out that he was special that his friends decided it would be unfair if he played with them. Being an Avatar and all, there would have been an unfair advantage so Aang would have had to hold back a lot. Although he was the only one among that was a master(hence the arrows) so that much didn't seem to bother them. Naruto also sought a bigger destiny, Aang didn't want to accept his. The creators have said that Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Miyazaki and FLCL have all influenced the show...ahh but everybody doesn't want to see that and takes the easier way out to say it ripped Naruto off.

[Nizuma Eiji]

^^Were you addressing me or the other dude that called Avatar a ripoff.

[Manwë Súlimo]

ok.. well first of all.. Avatar is about a kid who has magical powers and is one a chosen one of sorts.. There are 4 villages which control elements.. like naruto.. the chosen kid is an orphan. and is an away for a while and then is found by new found friends who he works with the defeat the evil.. ect ect.. but you are right in that it does get to the point a whole lot quicklier.. which is a fucking relief from the anime Fillers which are privilent most apparently in Naruto..

EDIT: Chosen kid with magical powers: Ha. Haha. HAHAHA. You seriously believe Naruto owns the cliche basic hero background? It's different anyway. Aang is the heir of a long legacy of powerful protectors of the peace, while Naruto is the one-time carrier of a demonic power. Aang is chosen, but Naruto's not really chosen, anyway- he just has the power.

You'll have to do better than that to prove Avatar rips off Naruto.

4 elements/villages: First off, in Avatar, it's whole nations, not villages.Second, Naruto was not the first to do 4 elements stuff. Both Avatar and Naruto got it from ancient mythology.

Chosen kid is orphaned: In Avatar, Aang is the last surviving member of an entire culture, thanks to being hidden and preserved for a century in an iceberg. That's not simple orphanage.

Found new friends and fight evil: Alright, are you really serious about that? The whole "fight evil with friends" was made a long time before Naruto. And the villains in Avatar are way different from the villains in Naruto.

[Sylar]

All I'm saying is that Toph is shown in TWO scenes.

That's it.

Meanwhile Zuko, Aang, Sokka, and Katara are all over the place.

It just seems suspicious to me.

[Nizuma Eiji]

Yea you're right about that, but still nobody wants to belileve that. Hell she better be living, because it would suck ass to kill her after she discovers she can bend metal.

[Rukie]

Daaang. I'm lovin' the new Aappa armor in that one pic a page back.

I REALLY wanna know who that firebending teacher is. I know it isn't Roku, take a closer look, it doesn't look a thing like him (cept for maybe the beard.)

I wanna hear more of the new Iroh, as well. See if he does Mako justice.

[Nizuma Eiji]

^^Yea Appa in armor>>>>*

I still cant wait for the series to start back up. I mean the animation & action looks so good, its hard to believe that its going to be a book & not a movie. OMFG when Book 3 finally premiers Avatar will own life itself.

[Bro Tai Jr.]

ok.. well first of all.. 1. Avatar is about a kid who has magical powers and is one a chosen one of sorts.. 2. There are 4 villages which control elements.. 3. like naruto.. the chosen kid is an orphan. and is an away for a while and then is found by new found friends who he works with the defeat the evil.. ect ect.. but you are right in that it does get to the point a whole lot quicklier.. which is a fucking relief from the anime Fillers which are privilent most apparently in Naruto..

1. Naruto doesn't use magic, jackass.
2. Naruto has 9 villages, Avatar has 4.
3. Going by your logic Naruto is a rip off of a lot of shows, since a lot of people have no parents, have friends, and have to defeat evil.

[Seto Kaiba]

Bad remake of Naruto... in every way.. if someone wants clarification on this.. just msg me and ill give you a long amount of reasons why

Wow. mind-numbingly ignorant...Avatar is very different from Naruto, and if you're going to use the chakra and elements crap:

1. The way chakra is used in Avatar is actually the accurate way it is portrayed.

2. The concept of the elements existed long before any form of modern media and was used in series preceding both.

ok.. well first of all.. Avatar is about a kid who has magical powers and is one a chosen one of sorts..

Hey, here's a secret: Almost all animated shows have that! You think Naruto is the first to do such a thing? There are novels in the past two centuries that have done that.

There are 4 villages which control elements.. like naruto.. the chosen kid is an orphan.

Like said before there are nine villages, and I addressed the elements thing. Here's another secret: The chosen one in the series is usually an orphan! How wild is that?

and is an away for a while and then is found by new found friends who he works with the defeat the evil.. ect ect..

Here's what I want you to do: Go to school. Take some literature classes and learn common tropes and plot points in hero stories.

[Way-Man]

That's it.

It's a kid show. They don't murder 13 year olds on a kids show, come on!

[Superstarseven]

There are some great Avatar apologists here. Great to know that there are fans of both shows that can live in peace considering this argument will probably never be over, just one of those things. Leathaface, I was piggybacking onto what you wrote and clarifying even more things on why the shows aren't alike.
But that's minor compared to the "Is Avatar Anime? debate" that has been going on since the show started way back in 2005.
I think it's pretty obvious-

Hmm lets see there's Jet, Yue, Suki(possibly), & Zhao. Then there's Lu-Ten, Firelord Azulon, Monk Gyatso, All airbenders, The Moon spirit. I dont think they have a problem with killing off anybody, seing as how they could kill of adults, & teens.

Well considering, Avatar wasn't made from a unfinished manga, that they have to implement 100 fillers just to ruin it.

But I noticed great series, are often grabbed by impatient companies to animate. If they just held out and animated Naruto after the manga was concluded. Then I am betting Naruto be pretty good as the Avatar.

One thing I wish this anime crew would do is evolve there animation, no matter how you look at it a lot of animes animation are practically the same. Very few animation crews actually do good and astounding animations.

[Omega id]

Thats why I stick to short anime series (1-26 episodes on average, this includes FMA however).

Honestly I didn't watch Naruto till like last year, I've been hanging out on this forum since Naruto started and got popular cause my friend wanted me to support this place. I didn't mind, I'm a forum goer, I'm a member of like 100 forums. I decided to give this anime a shot last year cause well, I was bored and I wanted to see what all the big deal was about, honestly it's not as great as people made it out to be. I got into Bleach around the same time, I still watch that but I'm just fed up with the fillers.

I believe Naruto's whole storyline (regardless of the fact that we don't know anything yet), could've probably been told in 50 episodes or so... and if it would've been 50 episodes only it probably would've had better quality (better storytelling, better animations and production in general). One thing I noticed about long anime series... they make sense at first... after their first season or so they pretty much go to hell... at least for me.

I like short anime series because production is better than that of a long anime series... it's already been proven by many anime's out there (Lain, Gundam 0080, Cowboy Bebop, Tsukihime, Fate/Stay Night to name a few) even those that are still ongoing manga's (such as Berserk, which sadly, a second season will probably never see the light of day).

Naruto was great... till Zabuza Arc ended. Everything else afterwards was alright but a bit hazy... it lead it downhill to where it is right now. Then again, thats just my opinion and its how I see the series. Zabuza arc made me believe this series was going to be all about ninja's. After Naruto learned Rasengan and Sasuke learned Chidori it pretty much just became DBZ.

[Acidblood7]

I could so see Naruto being a 50 Episode, if they didn't bombard it with 200 Fillers. I also take it you don't watch Avatar then since its at episode 38? :)

Though I kinda want the current animator crew for naruto completely replaced, put the Ghost in the shell or TTGL team on it, at least there animation is more fluid, and realistic.

hack I'll settle for Avatar Animating Crew, this show has some way good fluid fighting scenes.

[Omega id]

I do watch Avatar, it's great (it's not an anime in my eyes anyway). But as I said, there are only few anime's I take as an acception such as Death Note and Full Metal Alchemist, and those aren't like 100+ episodes so I'm ok with them, but I was saying, I normally watch those short anime series that are 1-12 episodes long or 1-26 episodes long (sometimes as much as 50).

Technically there are 40 half-hour episodes. All of the one-hour specials are just two episodes put together, with a bit more continuity.

Yeah Avatar has good animation. Just another reason I love the show.

[Instant Karma]

I agree. The fillers did a lot of damage whether one wants to admit it or not. But thats the thing about a series once it becomes a franchise, they can and will extend it to the max, especially if the series it's based off is not finished.

I do think that the animation could be better in certain areas. As someone mentioned the teams behind GITS would be an ideal wouldn't it? And if it could have the same consistency as Avatar, EVEN better. Unfortunately that's probably not possible, ever, because Studio Pierot has a budget, and a good chunk of that money also goes to Bleach which has recently gone through a suffering of less than stellar fillers itself, as well as a few other shorter-run series that pop up and run for a year or so. However, i try to look on the bright side. I'd much rather stick with the animation it has now with Shippuuden than go back to the filler animation. *shivers* As for Avatar, i can't wait to see it again.
