Nickelodean's "Avatar: The Last Airbender" Discusion

[Dimezanime20]

Not sure if this has been posted before or if anybody knows what i'm talking about, but if anybody else has seen the preview of this new show that's coming on nickolodean [sp], do ya think this is a rip-off of naruto? Besides it not being about ninjas, there is a similarity in a 12 year old boy whose special, is an airbender, has special wind powers, 4 nations of villages or so [fire, wind, earth, and water], and that there happens to be an evil nation [the fire country] trying to destroy the rest of everything or something. there was more details in the commercial that resembles naruto, but i have forgotten them. Am i the only one?

[Kimi Sama]

A kid with special powers and a huge amount of potential is the cliche'd anime plot. Not really a rip off.

[Personal Jesus]

Yah, I did see some similarity, but the whole premise of a bald little kid with superpowers reminded me more of Mitsu Me Ga Toru then Naruto.

[Dimezanime20]

A kid with special powers and a huge amount of potential is the cliche'd anime plot. Not really a rip off.

I know that certain idea has been used alot by others, but that's not what I really meant. You should check out the preview yourself to get an understanding of what I mean.

[naruto01]

this movie...seems....o-k....it does seem like an anime story...but..i'd like to watch it^-^

[kakoishii]

it's movie? I thought it was a tv series :confused . Anyway the only similarity I saw were the countries I immediately thought Naruto when I heard those. But it does seem to have the cliche anime plot.

[Dimezanime20]

lol. i guess my thread got moved. anyways, i could've sworn also that it was a series and not a movie. no wonder the animation was nicely done.

[Headhyuuga]

I just finished watching the premiere hr long ep on Nick, I cant believe how interesting it is. If you havent heard much about it, its a world where these 4 countries each specialize in an element, ie. water, fire, earth, air. After a 100 yr war started by the fire country, the last airbender is a kid. Also the avatar is one person who has mastered all the elements,but as this was started he disappeared but never reincarnated as exspected. Anyway it has great animation and a good story, also the voices arent bad. Not to spoil it, but the kid is the avatar and he is kick ass. Well it comes back on as an encore at 7central. A must see.

[Procyon]

Yeah, it was on at my house too! I enjoyed it. ^_^
Never thought I'd live to see anything ever that good ever creep on to Nickolodeon though! x_X

[mpthread]

so is this anime or an american cartoon?

[xxShikamaruxx]

American cartoon I think

[KupoExMachina]

Its american, with anime-ish elements. I dont like the show though...its too.....>_<

[TenshiOni]

I just saw it, and yes, it is a series. It was ok. It had pretty nice animation and was actually funny in some parts. The main character loves penguins. :blink

The only problem I have with it is its lame villans. The main antagonist seemed kinda dull.

What I thought you should all know is that it seems to me that the creator of it may watch Naruto. Not only does he make use of names like "Fire Country" and "Water Country", the first episode also includes a scene that seemed ripped right out of the Wave Arc in Naruto. Remember when Haku seemed as if he was about to "finish off" Sasuke with the kunai Sakura had thrown in an attempt to save him from the Ice Mirrors? And then, all of the sudden, in true badass ninja fashion a kunai whacks Haku in the mask and it turned out to be the #1 most unpredictable ninja Naruto? Well, there's a scene in the show in which the main antagonist is about to finish off one of the other main characters with a fire attack but then all of the sudden a boomerang comes in, whacks him in the face, and he hits the floor, exactly how Haku did! And then, from a far off distance comes the main character running in to save the day, just like Naruto did, and all around, just like in Naruto, the other characters are amazed/surprised by the sudden, unstealthy entry.

But ya know....it could all just be a huge coincidence. :laugh

[Hitomi_No_Ryu]

I just watched the show on TV!! I know...for an anime-style-attempted cartoon made by Nickolodean...this is REALLY good!!

Decent anime-art-style...check!
Anime cliche plot...check!
People with 'special' powers...check!
Boy waken from deep sleep...check!
Enemy with trademark scar(s)...check!
Anime cliche sound effects...check!
Cute furry animal...check!
Anime cliche reactions...check!
Side-romance potential...check!
Sneak peak at boy's future skills...check!

It's better then Teen Titans, that's for sure!! Why can't all anime-style-attempted cartoons be this decent?!

PS it IS a TV series!!

[Headhyuuga]

its pretty good in my opinion, even though its an american show the animation and drawing was top notch also a good story line, it kinda reminded me of Princess Mono. Well just have to see if it keeps up the pace.

[BakaKage]

this is actually pretty good. Kept me entertained for the whole hour considering i am pretty harsh on american cartoons. i'll probably follow it if i can. :D

That boomerang was thrown by the same kid who was being attacked. You do know the affect of a boomarang right? Anways, that show was nice, I give it mad props. Maybe I was alittle of on it being like Naruto. This is the best thing that Nikolodean has had in awhile. Usually shit like this would be on Cartoon Network. Nikolodean doesn't do that many action anime look-alike shows on their network. And oh yea, although the cartoon was done by Americans, you have to remember that some studios here in America have asian artists mixed in there. This show probably got helped.:D And for all those who don't know, it's really considered to be a "cartoon" not anime [even though they are actually the same thing]. It was made here in America, so therefore a cartoon. Transfered from Japan, would mean anime. But i really wonder if the Avatar was made here. It looks like it was out in China or so first. Why China? The cartoon characters [facial features of most chinese attempted cartoons] and also the alphabets [they didn't look like japanese kanji to me].
Last but not least, watch the next episode, cause the preview looks mad "hot"!.lol:D

[IronFist Alchemist]

If it's a series...It's probly the best Nickolodeon gat :amuse

Great animation,story,and humor,kept me entertained throughout.

[Dimezanime20]

Anybody else thinks we should keep this thread updated every friday a new episode comes out? And then turn this whole thread into our own Avatar theories, fanart, character plots, and etc. [like what we do with naruto for this whole entire forum]:D:)

[eXshinobi]

Isn't that kid supposed to be like 100 years old or something.

[Meijin]

I was looking foward to this for a week. I like the animation, it was smooth and nice. It didn't resemble anime TOO much, but nontheless it was good.

[Dimezanime20]

Isn't that kid supposed to be like 100 years old or something.

Yup. That's what they said. But I guess since he was frozen, he wasn't able to grow.

[kknaruto24]

Yes he is !!! Avitar is probably one of the best Nickolodeon show i have ever seen, trust me i have seen alot of them b/c i have a lil bro! But i did not like the weird thing one the evil fire dude's eye !!! It just looks strange but i am interested in where the plot is going but it seems siminlar to others that i have seen !! And the whole idea about bending and contolling the elemets is kinda cool.

[eXshinobi]

Nickelodeon has some great shows... Rocko's Modern Life, Sponge Bob...Doug Funny (the originals), umm....oh! Hey Arnord! Umm...yeah...that's it...the rest were sucky...Avatar was pretty alright...I like the whole last airbender thing. I just hope they don't stretch the episodes too much with dumb fillers, like an episode on saving a baby penguin or something corny....

Unless this show had a manga and you had read it, I don't know how they can do such things as a "filler"? Unless I am mistaken and the word "filler" can also mean for episodes that have nothing to do with the story. But then again that also has to do deal with what I think fillers are: Episodes in animes that don't go with the original story of the manga. But they do mean the same thing. Stupid me!

[NecroFox]

I liked it alot. I was suprised because I have disliked Nick for a while after the "original" nicktoons when I was a kid. I will be watching each episode

[AkiNara]

I just saw the first episode. OH. MY. GOD. That was INSANE!! I have never seen animation like that on an American series. EVER. It was Princess Mononoke/Full Metal Alchemist quality, I swear. Puts most Naruto episodes to shame. See, Teen Titans (horrible show, by the way)? This is how it's DONE. Try using some of the GOOD qualities from asian animation every now and then, maybe? That'd be nice.

Oh, anyone else notice the voice of Aku from Samurai Jack on the fire prince's uncle? I thought that was pretty awesome. And I think Aang is voiced by the kid that voiced Koda in Brother Bear. Good voice casting on this one.

I'm heavily anticipating Friday's episode! I'm coming back here to rave about it. Hehe!

[kakoishii]

OMG I just saw a snippet from this show (^^ almost said anime) today inbetween shows and I was like WTF they finally have a show on here that's worthwile and doesn't stink and I've already outgrown this channel how could this happen. It's funny but the whole thing reminds of something that could have easily been an anime show but somehow found it's way into an american cartoonist's head.

[l_chupacabras]

Okay first of all... I SHOULD SLAP YOU!!! You TOTALLY forgot to mention Invader Zim, one of the best shows ever invented EVER. ^_^ Now that we have that out of the way... heh, yeah I really really enjoyed this show maybe it's because I haven't seen a "fanime" for a looong time that was worth anything but yeah this was just wow... I really liked how the elements were controlled especially the wind the whole being able to FLY with just a staff was just plain awesome and the creatures in the show were also great hehe like the "penguins" I now expect a lot from this series so if they go and mess it up... I'll be very dissapointed, we shall see but lets cross our fingers and hope they keep up the good work!!!

Hasta Luego
"L"Chupacabras

[Dimezanime20]

Not gonna lie there, Nickolodean did good with Invader Zim before they canceled it. Now as for the Avatar, i'm getting alittle worried. They're showing the first episode way too much. Next thing you know, the kids get bored. I hope Nickolodean is not that stupid and keep repeating this episode throughout this whole week. It has been the 7th time already [I didn't watch them all of course. Just browsing through the cable. And this also counts for nick2, for those who have Satelite and Cablevision!].

[Inner Ninja]

I liked it. It's the networks best looking show since Zim. Notice I said best LOOKING, not BEST OF ALL! It looks exactly like an anime, I thought Marathon was animating it. If the lip movements didn't match the dialogue, I easily could've confused it for an anime. I thought it was pretty good.

[Dimezanime20]

IT'S FRIDAY!:D:) all I can say is that this episode better be a kick ass one!!

[AkiNara]

Well, it seems the actual show itself is just as good, if not better than the first episode. Excellent news!

Anyway, the best parts of this episode:

-Firebender battle. I'm glad they made this as cultural feeling as they did. It really felt like it was a real custom, not just "oh yeah, these two guys are fighting". And the flames were animated really well. Thumbs up!

-Badguys that have some depth. The uncle is a real honor freak. Better than the usual "Mwahaha! I shall rule the world!" type villains that are so popular in the States. And I actually found myself rooting Zuko on during his battle. I liked that aspect.

-The blatent talk about killing and death. I mean, wow! The Firebenders actually kill! Not destroy, not "send to the next world", kill. Not only that, but the showed the skeleton of his master. This is unheard of on Nickelodeon.

Overall, badass episode. The next one looks amazing, too. This is such a cool show!

[Dimezanime20]

This episode was done nicely as well. The fight at the end was nice, but I didn't see that much interactions. But hey, it is Nickolodean, so they wouldn't actually have fist battles and punches to the head.:D But in my opinion, this episode was better than the first. Got into more details about Aang and the Prince. I kinda feel more sad for the prince then I did for Aang finding about his people. The prince's story is more sad. And the part about there being the other avatars of the before life, of the same Avatar, and from the different nations was a hot idea.

[kakoishii]

Dude I keep on missing all these episodes, I told myself tonight I was going to watch it, but then I got stuck at Mc Donalds for an hour and missed the whole thing. Who wants to give me the low down on these two episodes?

[Dimezanime20]

don't worry, they will be showing repeats throughout the weekened.

[Rurouni]

I saw only a bit of it. It looked awesome though.

[Hitomi_No_Ryu]

I wonder...if the avatar's reincarnations is based on the Air-Water-Earth-Fire cycle, what will happen to the avatar when he needs to be reborn into the Air nomads which is extinct?

[Dimezanime20]

goog question. but that will be a long time though. he's not gonna be dying anytime soon.

[Yukimura]

I dunno. I think I'm starting to really like it.

Now I'll wait for the Sokka/Prince yaoi fanfiction to appear.

[Dimezanime20]

I dunno. I think I'm starting to really like it.

Now I'll wait for the Sokka/Prince yaoi fanfiction to appear.

ewww. that's disgusting.

[Yukimura]

Not really, considering the Spongebob yaoi that's rampant on Fanfiction.net.

[TenshiOni]

:smile-big I'm really starting to like this show. Episode 2 and the Fire Battle totally kicked arse. Good animation.

[Yukimura]

The T.V. description of it tells me that the target audience is 6-12 year olds. o___o;

[BlackBeret]

I like it alot more than alot of the junk thats on TV.

[Dimezanime20]

The T.V. description of it tells me that the target audience is 6-12 year olds. o___o;

They must be wrong since i'm 16 and enjoying myself!:D

[TheUnlimited]

i got to catch teh hour special thingy while i was at someone else's house.. and it was pretty awesome....


unfortunately i myself don't have Nick =(

[Ha-ri]

It was good, I liked it alot more than the crap thats on nick right now, plus they said sex on nick which is werid.

[kknaruto24]

i know this show is intented for younger audiences but i like this show and the fire battle scene in episode two was awsome

[Dimezanime20]

It was good, I liked it alot more than the crap thats on nick right now, plus they said sex on nick which is werid.

lol, that was funny reading that post.

[naruto01]

i think the avatar is O-K...it's not..ALL that though..but it's cool the way they fight...and...the way they have their nations...it's like Naruto...fire nation...water nation...air nation..and blah blah blah...they copied NARUTO!!!

[Dimezanime20]

i think the avatar is O-K...it's not..ALL that though..but it's cool the way they fight...and...the way they have their nations...it's like Naruto...fire nation...water nation...air nation..and blah blah blah...they copied NARUTO!!!

Been through that already. Read the first post [mines]. If you actually pay attention to the two episodes, little similarities are starting to show up. Like one, if you are from a fire country, you know how to use fire. 2. There is something called "bending" along with the powers. 3. As far as I know, people in their own village don't know how to use the powers of other nations, accept Aang. And 4. Their powers are the same [water, fire, earth, etc], but there can be many different forms to how you use the power.

[BuTteRflyXofXBLossoMs]

i see the resemblance. it looks ok though. :smile-big

[Yukimura]

After watching episode 3, I feel Nick has much to learn.

[Urami]

I think this show is great, it's witty, funny and Ang is a little cutie, I think the show is very well done, now I notice a lot of people might be dumping on it because they are trying to compare it with anime, and its not anime, it has similar animation, but keep in mind anime is created for general audiences and this show is on nick, meant for younger viewers, and I don't really see any resemblence to Naruto except for the Nations being divided by elements, NOT enough reason to say the show copied Naruto, that's just ridiculous, that would mean that a story I began to write like 4 years ago is a rip off from Naruto just because each country houses a diferent element (and I hadn't even heard of Naruto back then). Anyway this show is pretty nice, lighthearted and entertaining, so far all the episodes have some action or interesting things happening... a lot better than some "Anime" I've seen.

[Dimezanime20]

Today's episode was nice!:D I hope everybody saw it! Too bad next week they are gonna be doing repeats.:(

[darkkakashi14]

Its a really cool show,I really like the powers of earth.

[TenshiOni]

I'm really starting to like this show. I like it more than most crappy anime already! :blink

Episode 3 was beautiful. Real kick ass. Sacka's lil romance with that girl was nice.

[Dimezanime20]

I Want More New Episodes!!!:d

[inner_sasuke]

saw the trailer for it on the spongebob movie game.

[Dimezanime20]

And.....what did you think?

[kakoishii]

well i just saw the commercial for the one time only showing of all 4 episodes thus far this friday. For those of you who have missed any like me this is a one time opportunity before you'll have to watch it through random syndication.

[Chas3265]

I watched the first 2 episodes with my little brother. Not a rip off if you ask me.

[Dimezanime20]

I watched the first 2 episodes with my little brother. Not a rip off if you ask me.

I realized that after the second episode. I don't know what I was thinking then.

[Dimezanime20]

New Episode Right Now On Nick! Go And Watch It!!!!!

[martryn]

I hate to revive a dead thread, but I was gonna make another with the same name. Damn, this show is cool.

[Dimezanime20]

It's not a dead thread. People are just to lazy to post in here anymore! Anyways, last weeks episode was awesome and funny. They said that this weeks episode is gonna be the most action packed. I have a feelin' that i'm going to love this one.

[Tenacious D]

I think its pretty good. The bending skills remind me of FullMetal Alchemist

[martryn]

And I really love earth bending. It is so damn cool. I think its the most versatile one. I am so impressed by that old guy king peron. He is the most kick ass person ever when it comes to ass kicking. I totally want to be like him.

[Procyon]

What was thought of the Winter Solstice Episodes, and the Water Bending Scroll? I thought some of the Waterbending moves we got to see were really cool!

[Dimezanime20]

This weeks episode was great and funny!:DC'mon people, post here more often!:D

[chunks]

What was thought of the Winter Solstice Episodes, and the Water Bending Scroll? I thought some of the Waterbending moves we got to see were really cool! seeing the speed that Aang learned those water moves, I doubt he'll have problems learning all four elements by the end of next summer. But why Aang didn't stay at the Earth kingdom longer to learn Earth bending skills from his old friend? The king was definitely skilled enough.

[NeoDreamer]

omg, I thought i was the only one hehe, i love this show. surprisingly though they don't do much promotion for it to let me know when it's on, I caught a marathon last weekend so I was glad for that, got all caught up, but I missed it again(the new one) today I believe gotta check tvguide to see when that'll be re-aired, it's a great show imo. does have some elements of naruto but not rippin' off. try tellin' more people to watch it, I should make a sig and make it promotional hehe.

[Dimezanime20]

I just wish this show got more attention. This show, and in this forum, has the possibility of becoming the next Naruto. But original American style.:P This weeks episode was interesting as well. The fight scene at the end with Aang and Jet was cool!:D:) But what I hate is how they now don't show the previews for the next episode, and you usually get interrupted by someother program you don't give an ass for.

[LiLhomie4life626]

"The Avatar"? Well, let's just say I'll watch it but only because nothing else is watchable. Or if my horrid chance My arm is too lazy to reach for the remote.

Notice I said arm, not me. You know, seeings how I'm never lazy.

[Tsuuga]

Man, I can't believe how much you guys are hyping this show up for me...

[monk3]

it does seem like its partially based off naruto, but i like Avatar. i dunno why.

[Dimezanime20]

You like the show because it is just nice!:D

[dorkeemindee]

Well I was a big Avatar fan when this first started...

Then I started watching Naruto...

Then I was like "Avatar's nothing compared to Naruto!" Lol :P

It's still a pretty decent show though. :amuse

[KakashiRamen]

Well, the concept is pretty good...but it's just the animation...they make everything look so ugly when they have facial expressions...they make their nostrils big...some of the episdoes are lame...like when the "avatar" just jumps off this flying bison for no reason and flys back up...it was so random....

It's kind of corny sometimes too but...

If the kids like it, then w/e.

It's pretty good i guess...

[aLkeMiSt]

The animation is pretty corny... similar to martin mystery. But the story is good..

[Hitomi_No_Ryu]

Just watched the episode with the two bitter rival clans in a canyon. DAMN...that was a funny ending!! Ein instead of trying to make the clans learn to understead each other the old fashion way...he took the story of the reason they hate each other, says he knew those people in the story (which he didn't...he's lying), and makes up a whole different version of the story so they would forget whole feud and travel together in peace.

CLEVER!

[royalguardx]

i saw it, it was kinda corny and i thought that they copied naruto or some other anime

[Rin]

Everything is ok except Ang's voice and the corny diologue.

[Black Swan]

I saw that ep to and i totally agree. Very unexpected and against the grain for cartoons.

[Dimezanime20]

Alkemist, you must have some bad eyes to say the animation of the show is "corny". Get out of this forum you no good taste kinda person....something...something.....? Oh hell, just get out!

The rival clan episode to me had to be the funniest one yet!:D:)

[Dimezanime20]

yo...new episodes people! c'mon! We got soo outta touch that others are startin threads jus like dis.lol:D

[Scorpio3.14]

Avatar rocks. Plain and simple. I watch it with my sister all the time and we always end up laughing so hard my mom has to come see whats so funny lol Yes, its a little corny but once you get over the "Im to adult for cartoons like this" its actualy really good and funny. The story is better then like 98% of American cartoons and the action is similarly great. The bending system is really cool and looks great animated IMO. I highly recommend you give it a try if you havnt already.

[Spidey]

yeah, this show actually surprised me with how good the animation was, I didn't think Nick was capable of having a show like this and be so good. I wish I saw more episodes though, the only time I see it is when I catch it by accident. Anyway, love The Avatar :D

[Megaharrison]

It was suprising, I never expected a cartoon on Nickelodeon could surpass other shows trying to be "animeish" such as Teen Titans.

I've only seen about 10 or so episodes, but the episode where Zuko fights General Cho or whatever had amazingly high quality animation (above that of most actual anime's).

[hakke]

argh... I gotta give this show a chance... no, I mean I have all the episodes already on my PC, yet I dont have the time to watch it :(

[Keyser Söze]

the show is alrite, i watched a few eps, not bad for nickelodeon.

[ten sa zangetsu]

Don't know if it's been posted yet, but the movements of the benders are based on the hung gar kung fu movements. I saw my friend watching it in our dorm (he loves cartoons no matter what they are -.-) and it seems like an interesting show.

[Hokai92]

Don't know if it's been posted yet, but the movements of the benders are based on the hung gar kung fu movements


actually the different elements are based on different styles of kung fu.
i only know two, though

earthbending-hungar style kung fu
firebending-shaolin style kung fu

anyways i love this show although its too cheesy sometimes

[Dimezanime20]

^^damn. I never realized that. See how gud we get along.:P Is there a new episode tonight?

[Scorpio3.14]

^^damn. I never realized that. See how gud we get along.:P Is there a new episode tonight?

There are two new episodes tonight. Although one looks like a recap episode, but the 2nd one looks really good. Its called "The Waterbending Master". Cant wait.

[rie_chan]

it's alright I guess, don't like the character design doh

[ten sa zangetsu]

^ WTF!! HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THE CHARACTER DESIGN!! NEG REP FOR YOU!! Lol, just kidding. I guess everyone's entitled to their opinion.

[Dimezanime20]

I don see it either why people are bitchin about animation and designs. Da show is hilarious and da action scenes are down in a new animation style, sorta kinda thang.

[Zouri]

Avatar is a kick ass show. It was definately something that I didn't expect from the big N, but it keeps delivering. The animation is fluid and it's funny too. I can't wait to see the new episode. I know it's going to be great.

Edit:
I don see it either why people are bitchin about animation and designs. Da show is hilarious and da action scenes are down in a new animation style, sorta kinda thang.

I don't understand it either. I mean, the designs are practical for showing where the characters have come from. And the animation rivals that of most animes out there, especially in fights. Also, the show is hilarious. It seems like the perfect combination for a good show.

Whatever, to each their own.

[Dimezanime20]

yup@ Btw, if you guys know who Aaliyah is, tell me that that girl dat was with Prince Zuko, does not look like her! The one with the Demon/monster animal thing that uses its tongue to paralyze people.

[ten sa zangetsu]

^ Now that you say it, she does kind of remind me of Aaliyah.

[Dimezanime20]

lol, I knew it!:D:P

[Aeon]

I enjoy watching Avatar, and what really got my attention the first time I watched it was the legend that they recite in the intro to each episode. And now we're coming up to the season finale of the book of water in two weeks. Hopefully time will fly by.

[Scared Link]

O my fudge! Looky! A new Avatar forum, its so fucking wiked. It's new but I registered. Im on it as we speak :) The site:
http://s14.invisionfree.com/Doshta/index.php?

[Dimezanime20]

Ah, awesome. Anyways, the new episode was very interesting indeed! The battle between Katara and that Master guy. Once again they did a great job on the animation. For a min there, I thought Katara was lookin sexy [the hair down parts]lol. Anyways, I can't wait for the next episode, The freakin big battle is about to happin!:P

[Hana]

This is a pretty good show.....I like an american cartoon...wow...thats amazing...besides the whole "Fire Country" thing...Naruto and Avatar aren't really all that much alike.

[Dark Dragon]

I was quite surprised the first time I watched Avatar. I thought it was gonna be such a dumb show, but now I love it. :) I like Aang, since my favorite element is Air. Anyway, I think people should watch this show, you might be surprised. And I do not think Avatar is a rip off from Naruto.

[Keyser Söze]

lol some of the stuff kinda reminds me of naruto. maybe that's why i like it, but it's very different indeed.

[Dimezanime20]

Yea, i luv da show, but there r some minor things that reminds me of Naruto...

[Dimezanime20]

OMFG!! This is bullshit!! If you missed the hour special, you have fucked up your life! If you're a hater of this show and did not see that, you cannot say shit anymore!! That was fucking awesome! They played out everything just right! And the story that hour special was fucking original!!

[Spidey]

shit I missed it :( I hope it'll be on again later. Goddamn it.

[Dimezanime20]

Yea, its a definete must watch!

[NashNinja]

Out of all the cartoons ever shown on Nickelodeon, Avatar is pretty good, although it loses out to Ren and Stimpy. I can't say I follow the entire thing that well, but the long term plot to the show is very loosely followed, almost like a filler arc. As such, there are very few episodes you need to watch in order to follow the story.

Whoever was behind Avatar ought to try their luck in some more shows. They do pretty good work, which is really something for the otherwise lacking Nicktoons.

[Dimezanime20]

I can agree with you on some of those parts.

[Tenderfoot]

Made a similar thread by mistake, glad to see i aint the only one watching it. Its a great show, one of teh best thigns i ever watched on TV :tem

[Zephen]

I was pleasantly surprised at this show, especially for Nickelodeon. Unfortunately, I've only caught the season finale and the episode or two before that, but I was impressed. I had seen things online about it before it first aired, and was a little apprehensive about it. The premise and pictures posted looked cool, but with it being on Nickelodeon, I was worried that it would be watered down and kiddy-fied too much. After finally seeing an episode though, my fears were put to rest.

It didn't surprise me that they outsourced the animation to Korea, but that doesn't really bother me all that much, especially since the quality of the animation is quite good. The character designs are clean and pleasing to look at, and the story is quite mature for a kid's show. It makes me wonder what the story could have been if they weren't restricted by demographic or other regulations. Even with the restrictions they've had, I think they've done an excellent job of keeping a mostly serious and mature themes, and creatively found ways to tell the story they want without doing anything that would increase the television parental rating. I mean, there have been a couple of deaths already, right?

Anyway, I was deeply impressed. Good job Nick!

[Ichi-chan]

Nyaa! I am a really big fan of this show, too! I really like Sokka..<3 He very kawaii! And these last eppies were awesome! Yay!! Finally, Zhoa is dead!!! And Yue too! >D I've been obsessive about the show since It began, and I think my favorites were..'Jet' and 'The Fortune Teller' Meng was pretty cool in that eppie..xD lol, "Floozies..".

Anywhooooooooo, the first season has ended...Which is poo, and the second season is starting next month. I can't wait to see Zula! And I can't wait to see the sibling rivalry between her and Zuko! xD

~Sayonara!

[Dimezanime20]

Yea, that ending with the sister was done nicely. I really wonder if Zhoa is really dead. It seemed to simple, but his death was handled with pride. Season 2 I cannot wait for! The most interesting character that I want to know more about is Zuko's dad, the Fire Nation Emperor.

[organizedcrime]

I really wonder if Zhoa is really dead.

It's Zhao, I think.

[Dimezanime20]

you sure? The names are weird to me anyhow.:P

[ichinii30]

anyone know if it's going to be on this week? cause i missed the season finale :(

[rizahatake]

you sure? The names are weird to me anyhow.:P

He's right. Those are Chinese names. The story is base on the Chinese culture. Including the bendings. The Air Bending is based the movements of Bagua, Fire bending based on Northern Shaolim, The Earth bending is based on Hung Gar and the Water bending is based on Ku style Tai Chi.

I will post some links later.

[rizahatake]

anyone know if it's going to be on this week? cause i missed the season finale :(

You can watch it on nick.com. Go to the Avatar FC in my sig. The link to turbonick is on the 25th post. If you have time, read the 32th post too!:tem

[ichinii30]

thanks! lllllll

[rizahatake]

OK. Here are some good sites.

[organizedcrime]

Those are Chinese names. Katara is fairly long for a Chinese name, even if it is an old one, as for Aang and Sokka, double letters are also rare in Chinese names, and Zuko and Iroh don't sound Chinese as far as I know. Zhao is Chinese, though, and the whole show...well this explains pretty well.

[ichinii30]

cool! .....

[Dimezanime20]

lol, atleast they are still doing something different.

[Ichi-chan]

Yeah..I think there are names in the show that are Chinese and Japanese..Zhao sounds Chinese...I guess..and there's Momo...Which means peach in Japanese..xD;
And Roku means 6..I'm not sure which.

[martryn]

Can someone give me a link to the torrent? I went to Torrent ███ and tried to DL the series but it kept fucking up on me.

[Scared Link]

http://www.freewebs.com/rokuslegend/

One of the best Avatar sites I have seen.

[kakoishii]

the core audience is 6-11? Wow, is that really the age group they're going for?! I think they could easily go for a toonami audience of 11-14 but that's just my opinion it just seems some the plot line goes a bit too deep for the kids who watch Nickelodeon after all these are the kids who get a rise off of shows like Spongebob.

[Dimezanime20]

Yea, this show has some real deep storyline that I don't think kids will understand. That seasonal finale could've been underestimated if the audience is 6-11. The whole love story between Sakka and the princess, the death [probably] of Zhao, the meaning behind the battle, and a whole bunch of other shyt that happened in those episodes. It should move onto Toonami. It would get a wider audience, and for them, more money definetly. They said it takes 9-10 months for 1 freaking episode!! How is that possible?! The art and animation is beautiful, and I understand that it's hard to produce shyt like that, but how did they make soo much episodes so far? Was this then made in 1998?lol. And if so, would this mean the if there is a third season, it will take awhile for it to come out?! And oh, there is definetly going to be a movie! I bet my ass on that!

[Marysmary]

Maybe they make the episodes at the sametime?

I dunno. Anyways, I love this show too. Except I watch it on Nick 2 so that's a pain.>_>

[kakoishii]

that is what they do. They said that since it takes so long to make one episodes that they often work on more than one at time so in that span of 9-10 months it takes them to make one they couldn've finished five. Plus after they finish one season at the rate they show the episodes at (once a week) by the time that season finishes they should be near finished with the completion of the next season.

[Dimezanime20]

Ah, I hope those are true facts! That really calms me! I can't wait for the new episodes!

[rizahatake]

That's why the drawings are so good. Other animes sometimes didn't draw their character proportionally, like the eyes are smaller, etc.

[Tenderfoot]

There is an episode where Aang is having a dream, well more like a nightmare. We get to see Sokka air gliding the way Aang does, so we could say he was airbending.
In consideration to that scene do you guys think Sokka will airbend in the future of the series. It would be ironic since he always acts like he got something against it ^^

[Dimezanime20]

But isn't Sokka part of the water tribe along with his sister Katara?

[Tenderfoot]

But isn't Sokka part of the water tribe along with his sister Katara?
I know he is, however in Aang's dream he was air-bending. All i'm asking is, in consideration to Aang's dream, do you think its possible that in the future he might learn airbending?

[Scared Link]

I know he is, however in Aang's dream he was air-bending. All i'm asking is, in consideration to Aang's dream, do you think its possible that in the future he might learn airbending?


Well, no. Sokka doesn't believe using any of the elements. He think's its shit.

[Megaharrison]

I think what we're getting at there is that Sokka was once an air bender in his past life...Or something.

[Dimezanime20]

What?! So you think Sokka is an Avatar then?

[Scared Link]

That would be just crazy.

[Ikke AshLEE]

Sokka will never bend. I don't think it's just something you learn magically. To even consider bending you have to be born with the ability to start with, I think. Even if by crazy stupid plothole Sokka became a bender it'd be water, not air, since he's of the Water Tribe. But yeah, he's well suited as a warrior anyway, so there's no need for him to ever bend.

As for this Sokka bending in Aang's dream...which ep. is that? The only one I can think of is "The Storm," but I don't remember a bending Sokka there.

[kakoishii]

Sokka wasn't really bending in Aang's dream he was just flying on a glider that resembled the one Aang uses and you don't have to know how to air ben to be able use if you can remember the episode about the Northern air temple.

[rizahatake]

The only explaination for this was 1. this is a dream 2.Aang was bending for Sokka.

HELLO?! ::points to post DIRECTLY above the last post:: Did you just ignore my post or something :S take half a second and read and then you'll realize that SOKKA WASN'T BENDING he was gliding and you don't have to be an air bender to glide. Sheesh :mad I hate when people ignore my posts

[rizahatake]

Yeah, I didn't say he was bending, I said Aang was bending for Sokka! You need air bending to glide! Did you read and understand my whole post? By the way, I read your post so I didn't ignore it.

[Dimezanime20]

Okay, now you guys lost me on the Sokka thing. Which episode was this again?

[kakoishii]

Yeah, I didn't say he was bending, I said Aang was bending for Sokka! You need air bending to glide! Did you read and understand my whole post? By the way, I read your post so I didn't ignore it.
::takes hand wipes it pass face:: yes I read your post and what I'm saying is did you miss the episode about the northern air temple?? It seems you did because that there is an example of people gliding who aren't air benders. You do not have to be an air bender to be able to glide in that episode a fallen tribe comes across the forsaken northern air temple and make it their home. In the process they fixed up the gliding crafts there and flew them around and none of them were air benders. Heck even Katara glides in that episode. Haven't you seen people hang glide before? Are they airbenders? I know I'm going be outside of the point here but the bottom line I'm trying to get across is air benders are not the only ones who can glide.

[kakoishii]

Okay, now you guys lost me on the Sokka thing. Which episode was this again?
I can't recall a number I think it was 13, 12, or 11 not sure though anyway it was the episode where Sokka takes on this job to help this fisherman catch some fish and a
big storm broke out. It was in this episode that we learn the origin of how Aang found out he was the Avatar and also how he landed himsel in an ice cube at the bottom of the sea.

[rizahatake]

But the glider which Sokka used is Aang's glider in The Storm, which requires air bending. The ones in the northern air temple are molified.

Sokka wasn't really bending in Aang's dream

What we are talking about was in The Storm not in The Northern Air Temple.

[Dimezanime20]

Ah, I see. And oh, I remember that episode, but that whole Sakka part is quite not in my head at the moment.

[Tenderfoot]

You remember episode 17 or was it sixteen. When Aang said that other cripple dude/kid wasn't air bending but instead gliding. Now that was Gliding, and that i woud assume we all agree.
Aangs stick or whatever he calls it, wasn't made for gliding, rather to assist him in airbending and flying. It specifically works by the airbender bending the air-around him, and usingthe stick/airgliding-insrtument to glide on it...well something like that.

In Aang's dream [i think this was the storm episode], Sokka was using it. And don't go saying or it was a dream, cause here i'm looking at the thread of possibility. This is an animation show/anime [yah i know u hate it, but thats what it is to me] so its all about imagination,isn't lol? Anyway back on point. Sokka couldn't have used the airbending stick [you know what i mean] without being able to airbend in the dream.
So all i'm saying here is wouldn't it be ironic if he actuallly airbended in the future, and no i'm not saying he is an avatar, like some of you been claiming. All i'm saying is there is a possible plot twist, and what do you think of the possibility, concidering the dream.

[Dimezanime20]

So you're saying that the studios posssibly gave us a foreshadow with that scene?

[Ikke AshLEE]

I'm quite convinced Sokka will never bend. It's just...not right.

[monk3]

ok yeah Sokka probably won't bend, but i have to say the season finale rocked sooooo much.

[Dimezanime20]

Hell yea, of course!! And Sokka, the way he is now makes him different and unique. Giving him bending powers is just going to fuck up the story and character they made for him.

[Hokai92]

i agree to the last two previous post.............the finale kicked ass(especially zuko's firebending):sasufire ...........and giving sokka bending powers would mess thje storyline up

[Ikke AshLEE]

For one thing, he's kinda indifferent to bending. With our set of main characters, pretty much everyone save the animals and Sokka already bend, so it might screw up the balance if they made him suddenly bend. And lastly, the warrior persona is crucial to his character. As the only male in the Southern Water tribe, he's had to grow up quite quickly and learn how to defend people, quite a feat for a thirteen-year old. It's also forced him to think more strategically in case a mishap occurs.

Anyways, can't wait for Book Two. I want to see Aang do some earth bending, since we've seen him at least dabble in all the other elements already. I hope they have Kiyoshi show up a little bit, since she was the last Earth Nation Avatar. And I really can't wait for (A)zula to show up. Coolness!

[Dimezanime20]

I could not agree with you more Ike. And yea, can't wait for those either!:P

I think Sokka cannot bend has something to do with genetics. He's not the only one that isn't able to bend. I think he can never bend because of his genes.
I am looking forward for Book Two too! Wonder what is task for her (you know)

[Dimezanime20]

Yea, didn't they say something about how you have to be borned with the skills to bend in your nation?

[Shinji-san]

From what I've gotten from the show, you are either a bender or not. It is all based off birthright. I'm not exactly sure, but either your father or mother has to be a bender in order for one to have bending abilities. Then again, Katara can bend and I don't think either her mother or father could. And as everyone else has said, I cannot wait for Book Two to start. I think it will start up near the end or January or mid-Febuary.

[Keyser Söze]

is he going to master earth or fire next? i'm thinking earth

[Shinji-san]

He is going to master Earth next since he is finishing up Water at the North Pole. The order is Air, Water, Earth, Fire. Since he started in Air, he just has to work his way down the list.

[Hokai92]

I am looking forward for Book Two too! Wonder what is task for her (you know)

her(Zula)'s task is probally capture the avatar, or kill zuko and/or iroh--or all of these things...............i think all:aobadoor

[unnamed182]

I noticed some pronounciation and translation mistakes on princess yue's name and other stuff.Guess it cant be helped though since the majority of the audience are little kids.Good show,especially for a y7 rating.I like how they dont put all that corny crap on doing justice a vanquishing evil like in most y7 cartoons.I felt the season finale couldve been better planed though.They spent like 45 minutes showing the conflict and how it got worse then in the last 10 minutes aang just pops out of nowhere and saves th day.Also(im not sure but....)i dont recall any mention of zukos sister in the rest of the series,it felt like they made her up at the last minute just to improve their cliffhanger ending.They shoulda showed more of aang developing his waterbending too instead o ending the season with him as an incomplete waterbender.Oh wellz.I hope they improve on their mistakes and put more thought in the plot in the second book.Good series overall and one of my favorite american animation,cant wait for 2nd season.Oh yea one more complaint! :) The plot so far is kinda predictable because of its many cliche elements.But i guess all my complaints can be justified by sayin this is a show for kidz and theres no need for the plot to be so complicated or the kiddies mite lose interest in it.

[rizahatake]

Yea, didn't they say something about how you have to be borned with the skills to bend in your nation?

By the way, born doesn't have "ed", it is in past tense already. The present tense is bear.smile-big

Well, if you look carefully, she's in the Zuko flashback in "The Storm." It's the scene where Ozai's about to burn Zuko for refusing to Agni Kai, then as he's screaming it cuts to Iroh cringing among a group of other Fire Nation people. Zuko's sister is off to Iroh's left smirking at the sight. I'm guessing she and Zuko didn't get along very well, at least recently. At this year's Comicon, the writers held an Avatar panel and said they subtly slipped her in in a previous episode.

I kinda like that Aang hasn't mastered water bending just yet. It'll add more conflict to the second book, and it'll give Katara a chance to show off her new bending skills. Not only will Aang have to deal with Azula, Zuko, and earth bending, he'll have to juggle the remainder of water bending as well. It's a reminder that despite being the Avatar, he's not godly. As Aang said himself in "The Seige of the North, part I," he's just one kid.

Very well said and yea it'll take him some time to get the hang of bending even if he has some past experience from his other selves. Just like Ike Ashley wrote, he's just a kid.

[Shinji-san]

Wow, never looked at all of these things. Just watched the episode again and I saw her. It's just that she wasn't mentioned at all during the series, but I saw her smirk when Zuko was burned.
Man, now that you mention it, I haven't remembered a lot of the ending. Oh, also, on the last episode, I think Aang allowed the Ocean spirit to combine with his body since the Moon spirit was killed. He took the form of a giant koi and then stopped his rampage once he noticed the Moon back in the sky.

[Dimezanime20]

Lol, FU Riza and Unnamed.:D I'm just joking around, but thank you. So does now such word as "borned"? And oh, nice one Ike!

“Avatar: The Last Airbender is a truly unique comic adventure with rich animation and incredible martial-arts choreography. Creators Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino designed a fantastical Asian world with compelling characters and interesting creatures that will capture kids’ imaginations and spirit.”
-- Marjorie Cohn, Executive Vice President, Development and Original Programming, Nickelodeon

this is the sinopsis:

In a lost age, the world is divided into four nations: Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. Within each nation, there is a remarkable order of men and women called the "benders" who can learn to harness their inborn talent and manipulate their native element. Bending is a powerful form combining martial art and elemental magic.

In each generation, only one bender is solely capable of controlling all four elements. That bender is the Avatar. The Avatar is the spirit of the world manifests in human form. When the Avatar dies, it reincarnates into the next nation in the cycle. Starting with the mastery of his or her native element, the Avatar learns to bend all four elements. Throughout the ages, the countless incarnations of the Avatar have served to keep the four nations in harmony.

Then, the firebenders attacked. Just as the world needed the Avatar the most, he mysteriously vanished. A hundred years later, the Fire Nation is near final victory in its ruthless war of world tion. The Air Nomads were destroyed, the Air Temples ravished, and all airbender monks eradicated. The Water Tribes were raided and driven to the brink of extinction. The Earth Kingdom remains and fights a hopeless war against the Fire Nation. Many believe the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads and the cycle is broken.

In the desolated South Pole, a lone Water tribe struggles to survive. It is here that the village's last remaining waterbender Katara and her warrior brother Sokka rescue a strange 12-year-old boy named Aang who has been suspended in hibernation in an iceberg. The tribe soon discovers that Aang is not only an Airbender--the extinct race no one has seen in a century--but also the long lost Avatar. Now Katara and Sokka must safeguard the child Avatar in his journey to master all four elements and save the world from the Fire Nation.

already ahve a thread on it...read that one. it is meh to me, but i havent watched newer eps.

[Ikke AshLEE]

Yeah, the series got a whole lot better later on, although I've loved it since the beginning.

[rizahatake]

Yeah, the series got a whole lot better later on, although I've loved it since the beginning.

Me too! I like it right from the beginning. But I have to say it is better later, especally the season finale. Katara is so cool!

[Dimezanime20]

Ya, see how we got good eyes!:D

[Ikke AshLEE]

Katara got way cool by the season finale. She was always a pretty good character, but I never saw her as anything other than the responsible adult of the group until then, even when we saw her obsessive side in "The Waterbending Scroll."

She changed her pants form tights to baggy, taichi pants in the season finale.

[Dimezanime20]

Was that supposed to symbolize anything? And wow, I never noticed that.
@.@

It's cool. I saw the epsiode where the moon is gone and it was awesome
I really enjoyed it

I don't think it symbolize anything. I think every waterbender needs to wear those pants. Pakka and other waterbenders wear those too.

[Tessier]

I cant wait to see Zuko's sister in action!! Its going to be soo cool. When is Avatar coming back anyways?

[Dimezanime20]

Should be around this month or the next.

[zuhair]

im sure its gonna be totally cool n all

[Anubis99]

I really like the show, but I missed the majority of the first season and sometimes I am busy on Friday nights ...is there a good time to catch repeats/reruns?
They just put out a DVD for the series but it is one of those shitty 90 min DVDs instead of the whole first season. I wish more US cartoon companies would put whole seasons out on discs instead of that episodic bullshit.


-99

[Ikke AshLEE]

Umm...I think they show reruns on Saturday and Sunday at 11 or 11:30 AM. And yah, can't wait to see Azula in action. I wanna see what the prodigy sister fuss Zuko's emoing over is all about.

[Dimezanime20]

They are definitely showing re-runs in the weekened. Check for listings.

it's on ytv too, if you have that. anyways, this show is pretty good but it's been all reruns atm. anyone know if the new season has started, if there is a new season, or if this season is even done.

[~Akuma]

I guess you are talkin about an american channel. But its okay...I guess they will show it up here somedays :)

[Keyser Söze]

i think ytv is canadian my friend.

[~Akuma]

anyway we dont have those channels :)

[i<3kakashi]

Ok. Aang's 112 (frozen in an iceberg for 100 years), Zuko's hot (quite litterally), its a TV SERIES, and it rox. deal widdit.

[cooiecooie]

i liked avatar i think it's a great show i just can't wait till they start showing the new episodes again. the season fanale i thought was awesome!!! (i won't till u anymore in case some ppl haven't seen it) when i first saw it i didn't think nickelodeon would show anything like this but i guess i was wrong. unlike Naruto there aren't a specific person you could really hate.

[Dark_wolf247]

I -love- this show. I don't watch TV often, but when I do, it's usually to watch either this or CSI. Even my mom likes this show.

[Dimezanime20]

Yea, if your mom really likes the show, then that means this series is doing the right thing.:D

[Dark_wolf247]

Yeah I know. My mom's a bit weird, cause she hates every otehr anime around, but she loves this one. I asked her about it and she was like, "It's not like other cartoons. It's like each episode goes into the next." I'm like, "Uhh, yeah. It's an anime. Duh." XD

[rizahatake]

Well, she hates anime probably because most of them have violence and sex scenes. But Avatar doesn't.

[Dark_wolf247]

No, she just thinks they're stupid. Like when I watched Azumangah when she was in the room...:oh

[organizedcrime]

Well, she hates anime probably because most of them have violence and sex scenes. But Avatar doesn't.

JFTR Avatar isn't anime.

Anyway, I've refrained from watching any anime, really. I just read the manga, leaves a bit more to the imagination.

Then why is it classified under anime at FF.net? :amuse

I know it isn't anime but since they call it anime, I'll just go with the flow.:P I don't watch anime either except I have the mood, which is rarely.
By the way, can you take care my FC. I am not gonna be here for a week becuase of the exams.

[organizedcrime]

Then why is it classified under anime at FF.net?People make mistakes. IIRC Anime regards only to things... "Japanese" It's produced in California, and animated in South Korea. It was created by two guys named Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. Now of course, that should all be disregarded if Anime now refers to any kind of animated material in that "style"

[rizahatake]

Then why is it classified under anime at FF.net? :amuse

A lot of people thought it is anime though. BUT IT IS NOT!!

[Magical Poof]

It's not anime, but FF is just stupid. It's made by artists here and it's never been translated from Japanese. They showed the american guy drawing Aang in one of those stupid comercial thingies, and they had a comcercial where they "interviewed" the creators, who spoke English and looked American.

Anyway, I actually rather like this show. I've watched all the episodes, though not the entire episode, as I tend to forget when they're on and miss some of it... Well, anyway, I thought the season finale was awsome. I can't wait for the new episodes.

[spanishsamurai]

It doesn't seem Nickalodeonish, but it still good.

[rizahatake]

It doesn't seem Nickalodeonish, but it still good.

Nickalodeonish? What does that mean?

[Ikke AshLEE]

Nickelodeonish as in lame and stupid. Most of the toons on that channel now suck, but Avatar seems to actually follow a plot. At least that's how I see it.

[Son Goku]

the show is the only one with a plot its for kids and nick got rid of the god shows like invader zim viva la gir

[rizahatake]

Oh yeah. Those square-like people are so weird.

[Dimezanime20]

NEW SEASON! MARCH 17TH! YAH!!

[Elite]

New season this Friday. Can't wait. Looks like Aang is learning earth bending now from watching its commercial.smile-big

[Second-Hand Love]

I don't like this show. I watched two or three episodes with my bro, who's 7 years old, and even he didn't like it. It's bad. The story is ok, but the character, including the main bald guy, are all bad. Oh, and is this from Nickelodeon?

[Elite]

Yes, it's from Nickelodeon.:)

[Chee]

I can't wait for the new season. So happy! XD

[Second-Hand Love]

um, ok... I never thought Nickelodeon will make this kind of stuff... you know, Sponge bob and everything...it's just, different from other cartoons that Nickelodeon made.

[Chee]

um, ok... I never thought Nickelodeon will make this kind of stuff... you know, Sponge bob and everything...it's just, different from other cartoons that Nickelodeon made.

I'm glad they made Avatar, brung more viewers back to thier network. American-style shows are boring to me now, so yea...

[Elite]

um, ok... I never thought Nickelodeon will make this kind of stuff... you know, Sponge bob and everything...it's just, different from other cartoons that Nickelodeon made.
Yeah I thought the same too when it first came out but I'm glad they did make it. The other shows on Nickelodeon are just crap.

You see, now I don't like you...:notrust

[Tenrow]

Avatar is ok. It's better than teen titans with their overusage of japanese expressions.

What I don't like are the elements. As an "airbender" wouldnt that also mean you would have control over water and lightning?

[NeoDreamer]

you would think so if they are all made up of the same organic elements...but there's no lightning to master hahaha. but i guess since the elements they have to master are all natural and basic ones, just 'cause their elements(hydrogen, oxygen..) are same doesn't mean they are the same, it does mean that one could master them all, such as the avatar, but it takes so long to do such things so most can only do what they are known for in their region...avatar's apparently have a nack(sp) to tap into the elements easier and faster to master than anyone could possibly do.

[Black Swan]

I have seen the promos to the new season and I cant wait to see it. Zuko's sister must be one hell of a cold hearted biyatch to wanna go after and kill her own brother. But being the prodigy of the firelord who gave his own son that scar and banishment its not too surprising.
Anyways I like avatar b/c its the closest thing american cartoons have gotten to anime. With a continuing storyline, sagas etc...

[NeoDreamer]

helllllllls yeah. his sister is cruel...if you remember the flashback when he did get that scar they showed the audience, and everyone especially his sister and that general zao guy were greatly enjoying it, while his uncle was sad to see it.

[monk3]

um, duh. Water, Earth, Fire, Air. its what the people (from China i think?) believed to be the main elements of the world. Anyways, i'm soo pumped for the new season. i watched a commercial and i was flipping out.

[kaizuki]

i think avatar is rather good, i don't think it's a rip off of naruto though.i didn't think there was a movie but i guess i was wrong,i like the tv series,the first season is already on sale (in the US)

[Elite]

The first episode of the 2nd season was pretty good. The fighting scenes are still good. Still like the humor in it.:P This episode also provided some info about Aang's "Avatar State".If he dies in that state, the Avatar wont be reincarnated, but wow he's so powerful in that state, imagine if he learned how to control it!:nuts

I saw a preview of the next episode. I wonder if Aang and Katara will kiss...hehe

[Dimezanime20]

Yea, the first episode was definitely good!:P The fighting sequences was once again excellent and fluid.:) The best part in that episode is when Sokka hit the king on the head and asked the guards "Does anyone got a problem with that?".lol

[Marysmary]

About the first episode of the 2nd season..

wait..how exactly does cutting off your ponytail disguise you?
Zuko still has that scar..

Zuko was better with the ponytail. >_>

[Perfect Moron]

um, duh. Water, Earth, Fire, Air. its what the people (from China i think?) believed to be the main elements of the world.

Actually, those are originally greek. Chinese elements are Fire, Earth, Water, Wood and Metal.

[Dimezanime20]

It's supposed to be symbolic, not for a disguise.

[organizedcrime]

Whoo lucky me. I almost forgot about the series I was channel surfing yesterday and stumbled upon the Season Premier.

[Elite]

Yea, the first episode was definitely good!:P The fighting sequences was once again excellent and fluid.:) The best part in that episode is when Sokka hit the king on the head and asked the guards "Does anyone got a problem with that?".lol
Yeah that was funny. But I thought it was funnier when the Waterbender master(forgot his name) was giving gifts to Katara and Aang, then Sokka walks to up him with a smile on his face, expecting he was gonna get something too, but the Waterbender master just pats him on the shoulder and says"Take care"...lol.

[NeoDreamer]

:( i missed it; I had class and my stupid VCR didn't record it for some reason. Apparently they are gonna re-air that one on teh 31st of this month so I'mma wait or download it in a day or so.

[Dimezanime20]

Damn, the 31st huh? Gud luck on that wait.lol

[Misk]

Im afraid that the "Avatar State" may become a constant thing

In season 1 it was like "The avatar state OMG AWESOME"

In season 2 it might be "Oh.....the Avatar state"

[Kirsten]

Wow, great episode. Loved it. :) Zuko's sister is officially my new favorite character....her "sith lord" type powers are so awesome!

The highlight of the episode: SOKKA WITH HIS HAIR DOWN AND NO SHIRT ON! :nuts

[Elite]

Wow, great episode. Loved it. :) Zuko's sister is officially my new favorite character....her "sith lord" type powers are so awesome!

yeah...I wanna see what that "power" is capable of. Didn't really get to see it in yesterdays episode because of Iroh's interference. I wonder if Aang can take her on.

[Dimezanime20]

But you got to admit that it was pretty cool how he was able to re-direct that attack.:P

[Black Swan]

I missed the friday episode of the avatar but caught the encore this morning. It totally kicked ass. Zouko's sister is a cruel hearted biyatch. That dialogue she had with he admiral on the boat was classic. When she tells him not to worry about the tides killing him but her. I really hoped zouko would gives her the business, but it looked like she was gonna own him before his uncle came and used his jedi electricity on hersmile-big. Hopefully zouko's uncle will teach this to him, so he could fight his sister as an equal, and it wont look like an itachi sasuke meeting pretimeskip next time they meet.

[Marysmary]

I smell a Chidori from Zuko..
