    The One That Started It All

    In a world where the airways seem to be ruled by uninspired and badly dubbed anime, Nickledeon has created something truley amazing. A show that both kids and adults can enjoy, complete with tremendous voice acting, fantastic animation, good music, and awesome execution. Season One of Avatar begins with a war going on between nations who control different elements through techniques called 'bending'. There's the Fire Nation, which, under Fire Lord Ozai, is attempting to take over the rest of the world. The Avatar, the only one who can control all four elements, is supposed to stop power imbalances between the nations, but the war started 100 years ago and the Avatar hasn't been seen since. And with the airbenders already wiped out and the water tribes being composed of tiny populations, only the great Earth Kingdom remains intact. What makes this show great is a combination of character and plot. The characters aren't stereotypical. They act in predictable ways sometimes, but then there are episodes that really show their deeper sides (The Storm, The Fortune Teller, and The Blue Spirit are all examples of this.) The story focuses around the main characters Sokka, Katara, and Aang, the Avatar (returning to the world after being incased in an iceberg for 100 years.) There's also the Fire Nation's General Iroh, Price Zuko (a banished prince trying to regain his honor by capturing the Avatar) and Admiral Zhao. However out of these characters only Admiral Zhao seems truley evil. Zuko and Iroh however are in the gray. There's some fantastic fight scenes in this series. The Blue Spirit, Jet, and Bato of the Water Tribe are all episodes with incredible choreography. Animation is top notch. There was only one episode where it went down a little. And finally the Season Finale is really well done and filled with mythology about the spirit world which the Avatar must learn to communicate, as well as he must learn to master the four elements to defeat the Fire Lord. As good as Season One is, it's inferior to Season 2. If you thought that the Earth Kingdom was portrayed as the good guys and the Fire Nation are the only ones with bad leadership, Season 2 may change your mind. However as a first season of a show Avatar succeeds incredibly well. Recommended to people of all ages. There's some corneyness in a few episodes, but the series does a great job of catering to all ages.

    I had many favorite shows growing up, this was one of them. 6 discs to the set. 5 of the discs contain the episodes. 4 episodes per disc. Special features on every disc, with the 6th disc focused on nothing but special features. All these features focusing on the different aspects that went into making the series. If you're a fan of animation, humor, drama, and even action-based shows, this is a must-have set. Same if you were a fan of the show when it heired, as I was. The other two books are must-haves as well.

    An American animation series done in the style of Japanese anime art. Being an animator and a kung fu martial artist, this show really hit home and caught my interest. There's not much more I can say except that if you haven't seen it yet, then GO SEE IT! It is a spectacle, the story is amazing, the artwork is super well done, and the extras showing the behind-the-scenes animation and art work, something us artists love to watch, is something to behold.

    All of my friends have been raving about this show since it first came out, so I finally decided to check it out. It's one of the few shows I have seen that actually comes close to living up to the hype. It's Fun and funny, while still maintaining a good, and fairly serious, plot.
