Avatar the last Air Bender

[sicklelee]

Theres this new Anime thats about to start airing on Nick called (Avatar the last Air Bender).They said this Anime should be really good.

This is the Description of the Show:

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Only the Avatar was the master of all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless Fire Nation from conquering the world. But when the world needed him most, he disappeared. Until now... On the South Pole, a lone Water Tribe village struggles to survive. It's here that a young Waterbender named Katara and her warrior brother Sokka rescue a strange boy named Aang from a cavernous iceberg. Not only is Aang an Airbender--a race of people no one has seen in a century--but they soon discover that Aang is also the long lost Avatar. Now it's up to Katara and Sokka to make sure Aang faces his destiny to save the tribe--and himself. Did we mention he's only 12?

It Airs on Feb.21 at 7ET on Nick

This is the Main Character's description of his background

His name is Aang

Aang is a hero—a 12-year-old hero who likes to stir up trouble. Raised by Airbender monks in a temple hidden in the mountains, Aang is the last Airbender and the only known survivor of the Air Nomads. It's Aang's destiny as the Avatar to master all four elements—Air, Water, Earth and Fire. But he'd rather search for adventure than save the world. Though he's very spiritual, Aang doesn't like being known as the mythical Avatar or being the center of attention, he just wants to be a normal kid. Aang loves animals, especially his giant flying bison, Appa, and his pet winged-lemur, Momo. He's quick to take detours along his journey, much to the dismay of Katara and Sokka, and he's a master of getting himself into sticky situations. Luckily for all three of them—and the rest of the world—he's pretty good at getting out of them too.

So who plans to watch this show??

[Dorktron2000]

That's not anime.

[xFANCY_MOOSEx]

yeah, seriously, it's "Anime" Style, there's already a thread like this:

http://animenation.net/forums/showthread.php?t=167263

[bounty3009]

There was a whole conversation about this on another topic. It's not an anime.

[Old Ape Face]

the background info on the show reminds me of Golden Sun, this looks like it could be the animated show of the game. i'm just think of my opinion, but thats what i think.

[yangster]

It's not anime. I'm planning on watching it if I can remember when it's on.

Well this website classifies it as ANIME

http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-28841/

[sicklelee]

Its gonna use Anime'esuque techniques and it has the Anime look, but its all U.S. (of course with Korea's animators helpin out).

It looks good and shows promise.

[Irons]

TV Tome also has a very craptastic review of the Evangelion TV series which fails to mention any of the Evangelion TV series. I wouldn't trust anything that tries to be as comprehensive as TV Tome, as it is bound to be full of mistakes and errors.

Either way, it isn't anime. Anime is from Japan. It doesn't matter what it looks like. Big O and the Batman cartoon series are drawn almost exactly alike, but only one is anime. It's more of a cultural thing than a visual one. Either way, it doesn't sound like a terrible show and considering the crap Nick used to air it sounds like a step up. I remember my childhood Saturday mornings being spent watching Garfield and Friends, X-Men, Spiderman, etc. Back then Nick had some great stuff going for it too. Ren and Stimpy, Doug, Rugrats... then it just went downhill, which oddly enough coincided with the same time I started to sleep in on Saturdays.

Go figure. Still, I won't watch it.

Okay, hate to be technical, but the literal definition of anime is Japanese Animation, so unless it's produced in Japan, then it isn't anime

A style of animation developed in Japan, characterized by stylized colorful art, futuristic settings, violence, and sex.

[JesusTheNinja]

Did you triple post, then double post twice? Stop that. There's an edit button for a reason and it's unnecessary to keep us up to date constantly.

Personaly, I'm looking forward to this show.

[xFANCY_MOOSEx]

Same here, but not as an anime, I'm going to enjoy it as much as I do with Teen Titans

[Beeping_walrus]

Hmmmmm ponders* ive heard about avatar i think ill try to watch it. but something tells me in not gonna like it so much. ah well. oh well. shrug* we will see!! someone message me *sob* i be a newbie

[Huskapet]

I just finished watching it with my little sister. If you ask me, if the creators were looking to imitate anime's art style, they did a pretty good job of it. However, it was easy to remind oneself that it WASN'T anime by the Nickelodeon logo, some of the voices, the goofy sound effects, and how the name 'Sokka' was pronounced 'Sakka'. :P Anyhow, I liked it.

[yangster]

I liked it and thought it was pretty good. I thought it was going to be a movie but it's really a series.

[Devyndrynn]

I watched the pilot episode and it wasn't bad. OK, so a little cheesy and kiddied up compared to some of what I watch, but all in all, alright. I'll probably keep watching it, and may even recomment it to some friends.

[sicklelee]

I watched it

It was pretty good

It didn't bore me

[quaze6]

i watched it, and it was good.

[dragonandante]

Aye, very good...

[Yuhi25]

I watched it. I found it very interesting. I say my first reaction was that "there's no way this should be on Nickelodeon."

[[]K"Rou[]]

I thought it was a movie.

[Kiyone]

What's the deal with that title?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v56/ottoautopilot/bender.jpg

I am Bender.

Please insert liquor!

[miko hanyou]

i don't think it's anime just american anime.

[Yuhi25]

From what I can gather, the title revolves around the main characer Anng, he is the Avatar, and also the last Airbender in the world because his people are gone.

[spinorex]

I really like this american anime. It is different than the other amercan anime because it has more detail and it is animated like other anime from japan. One could mistaken it as an imported anime. some people thought nick bought the anime and wished it to have been bought by cartoon network instead, but it was actualy made by nick.

[sicklelee]

From what I can gather, the title revolves around the main characer Anng, he is the Avatar, and also the last Airbender in the world because his people are gone.

Your right about that and his name is spelled Aang

[ecblue]

I watched this show with my daughter and we both enjoyed it. Will definitely Tivo tonight's episode. Much better than a lot of the other Nickelodeon garbage.

[gigo]

who cares whether it's anime or not. It's good. And just like all good art it most likely adopts from other art styles (story base inclusive).

[Susano]

gigo,

I can't agree with you more. It was most deffinitely enjoyable. The animation was great, the writing was amusing, and the background music fit really well with the story. I deffintiely look forward to buying this if Nick decides to put it onto DVD in the future.

[JesusTheNinja]

I really liked the pilot episode, and I'm looking forward to it tomarrow night.

What's the deal with that title?
"Mage", "Master", "Duelist", "Warrior", etc. are all overused, so they came up with something new.

[sicklelee]

I watched this show with my daughter and we both enjoyed it. Will definitely Tivo tonight's episode. Much better than a lot of the other Nickelodeon garbage.

I agree Nickelodeon's other shows are garbage

The only show that I really liked when I was younger was Rocket Power.

[sicklelee]

It's about time Nick gets something good

[sicklelee]

Cartoonnetwork will probably try to bounce back with something good even though they already have good shows.

Anyone recording every single episode??

[spinorex]

The new episode just aired and it was awesome. The fight between the bannished prince of the fire nation and the the sargent was great. And Aang and the others now have a lemer named momo travaling with them.

[JesusTheNinja]

Sicklee: There is an edit button for a reason. Stop double, triple, and quadruple posting.

The second episode was good, but I'm disapointed that the firebender kid didn't take out the commander guy. I was really hoping he'd be a real badguy. First time I've heard the word "killed" on Nickelodeon, though.

[lil'dragon]

I finally saw it! I like it. I like the animation and it seems to have a nice stroy and characters. The fight between the prince and the commander was pretty cool. I really like how they mix the elemental powers with martial art moves. This is by far the best non-anime cartoon I've seen in a good while. Anyone who hasn't seen it yet should watch it next Friday (8pm/7pm Cent.; Nickelodeon)!

[Air]

Anyone recording every single episode??
I am! Who cares if it's anime or not, it rocks!

hey, I'm a newbie!(God, I hate being new)

[Devyndrynn]

Though if it is a cartoon mimicing anime, this could indicate that he is going to side with the good guys later. He acts more like a spoiled kid than a truly bad guy, so the possibility of him growing up to realize that what his people seek to accomplish is somehow wrong.

You want a real bad guy... How about Colonel Archer from Fullmetal Alchemist. That guy was just evil. And he deserved what he got. :devil:

[LePriDe]

not anime , not intrested

[LePriDe]

You want a real bad guy... How about Colonel Archer from Fullmetal Alchemist. That guy was just evil. And he deserved what he got. Lol i agree

Pfffffft. Spoilsport. You're open enough to watch anime, but not to watch something similar to anime?

[Tacofiend]

It doesn't sound very interesting. Back to your comment on the TV Tome site, sicklelee, that site is highly unreliable. Their episode reviews and descriptions of shows are highly inaccurate.

[Air]

Pfffffft. Spoilsport. You're open enough to watch anime, but not to watch something similar to anime?
Yeah, you're just a weenie. You need to open up more. I just want to tie you down to a chair in front of an episode of Avatar and hold your eyelids open and force you to watch it.

[linrevil]

ever heard of 'american anime'? some stupid *****y girl named myang (look her up on deviantart) would complain endlessly that its a true form.


anyways american anime is something produced in the traditional anime style, but made by americans, or by other people. anouther example of this is "code lyoko"


why can't people be original anymore <_<

[xllx-xllx-xllx]

A style of animation developed in Japan, characterized by stylized colorful art, futuristic settings, violence, and sex

It's a style of animation. Not confined to japan alone. The term Japanimation/Japanime isn't around for laughs.

[gunslinger]

I liked it. I saw it last night for the first time. I think I'll have to keep watching.

I don't get it. I honestly don't get it. You complain about "Americans" (who commonly turn out to be French, as in the case of Code Lyoko), but never once has anyone complained about the lack of originality of the Japanese artists who reused the same style to the point that it became recognizably 'Japanese'.

[Air Bender]

If some one said this is from Japan (Avatar:the last air bender) would you of belived them? Come on I dont watch alot of Anime and i don claim to know alot about it but I do know a good thing when I see it. To say this show isn't as good as another one because it is not from japan is almost racist....

p.s. The only anime I rilly watch is DBZ, DB, Kenchin, and just a couple others on adult swim.

[Devyndrynn]

Please, please, please tell me you've watched some of that uncorrupted, err... I mean unedited. ;)

Please, please, please tell me you've watched some of that uncorrupted, err... I mean unedited. ;)

I watch what I can i geusse it is all corrupted but eh i still enjoy it I bet i would like it more in its true context...

[Air]

Code:LYOKO is really cool. It's French, and I have no idea what syle it is, though I've done some heavy duty research in the summer. DBZ and DB is anime? Didn't know that. Good point with the "american anime" and the "Japanimation/Japanime" thing. I'd just like to suggest this so it's out in the open: have any of you who critisize Avatar: The Last Airbender ever considered that a show could be great even if it wasn't anime? Huh? Any of you? I rest my case.

[MagicianCamille]

I didn't really enjoy it, I watched it a few times, didn't interest me.


I'm not going to flame it though.

[Air]

Good idea. *eyes flash dangerously* Heehee. *watches tape of both episodes*

[sicklelee]

It doesn't sound very interesting. Back to your comment on the TV Tome site, sicklelee, that site is highly unreliable. Their episode reviews and descriptions of shows are highly inaccurate.

Ya you might be right, but I love the show so I don't have to depend on the TV Home site anymore because I seen the show with my on EYES.

[sicklelee]

not anime , not intrested

Avatar the last Air bender might not be Japanese Anime but it's good enough to watch.It's better than some of the Japanese anime I've seen.

[Air]

THANK YOU!!!! Finally, a point that no one can make a persuasive arguement on.

[Air]

One thing I don't get about it is why all the animals are mutants. The bison is huge(that's not too bad, though), the penguins have 4 arms(still really cute) and the lemur, cute as it is, doesn't lok like a lemur. And I just looked at a pic of a lemur today. They were so cute! MoMo has humungous ears and lemurs have extremely tiny ears.

I guess they wanted everything to be different from our human world.They probably are just trying to attract people more by making the animals alittle or more different than they really are.We'll u can say this they do have a good imagnation.

[Air]

lol, yeah they do. I guess so. The penguins kinda scare me though, lol. MoMo's really cute, though, mutant lemur or not. Real lemurs are a little creepy 'cause they have red eyes. they look like devil lemurs. At least they made MoMo's eyes green.

[Porco Rosso]

This actually looks pretty decent for an American show. Looks to be one of those first American cartoons to actually have brains of some sort.

EDIT:

After doing some checking, I found out that the people that do this are the same people that did the Robotech comic book.

I also found their studio site, and it looks like they're really into Japanese animation. Here's what they had to say about it:

Q: Manga is a Japanese art form. What right does Tavisha have to draw in that style?

A: Manga is more than a Japanese art form. Manga is a Japanese Art Movement, as legitimate as the Art Deco and Art Nouveau Art Movements. Just as Japanese artists have harvested and used European and American Art Nouveau and Art Deco to their advantage, Americans and Europeans are now doing the same with Japanese Manga. Yet, this is simply a general privilege, a right in cultural exchange every artist on Earth shares as a natural given. It is unalterable.


Let me speak now of Tavisha's personal right to contribute to the Manga Art Movement. Tavisha is an American of Japanese and German decent. Her father is Wolfgarth, her mother is Kubota. Both her parents worked away from the home, thus she was mostly raised by her nissei grandmother and her issei grandfather. There was a heavy leaning towards Japanese culture throughout her childhood years in the 1960's and 1970's. When she first started drawing in the "manga style" she was 5 years of age, and over the years she become convinced she should only draw in this style because it was part of her heritage.


Tavisha never believed that interest in anime and manga would ever grow beyond the Japanese-American community and she is still shocked to this day by its popularity - and even more shocked at her own popularity as a manga artist. Despite her growing fan base, there are those who, knowing nothing about her other than that she is an American, see a European last name and decide that this is enough to judge her work by. These same detractors would nod with approval if she had used her mother's maiden name of Kubota. Why do they do this? Simple idiocy requires a simple response: they are racist and prejudiced, in part, because they in their adolescence (or adolescent-mindedness), seek an intellectual elitism in the "secret" art of manga. How dare a European-American or other ethnic think it in their right to tell a Japanese-American they aren't allowed to contribute to their own heritage simply because of where they were born! Really! Tavisha doesn't break into Octoberfest in Alpine Village, California and jeer at the dancers because they were born in America. She doesn't roll her eyes at the chef at our favorite Sicilian restaurant, looking down her nose with a, "Humph! This chicken parmesan is obviously American!" Get over yourself racist manga fan. If ignorant hubris is your only privilege, fine. Just understand that that your dim view is a tired opinion, older than you, debated, recycled, and tossed out years before you were born. It is not manga law.


I understand that this style of offensive defense can seem rather arrogant but then when it comes to detractors of American-made manga, Tavisha and I sometimes find ourselves, on rare occasions, up against an often belligerent and fanatical sect who appear happy to treat you as a friend as long as you remain simply a fan of Japanese, Chinese, or Korean-made manga, but turn on you as if you've committed some kind of real heresy if you dare to be an American of any non-asian surname and desire to contribute to the Manga Art Movement.


Regardless, as I once stated in an interview with Anime Insider concerning ShutterBox: If it (ShutterBox) is indeed successful, then I hope it inspires many more hopeful creators living and raised outside of Japan to understand what makes manga, manga, (the pacing, the staging, the timing, the panel count, the masking, the toning, the consistency of character design, the quality of emotion, etc.), and that they in turn can contribute to this art movement. Japanese play American baseball and wear American Levi's. Americans eat Japanese sushi and sing Japanese karaoke. The manga art movement is simply another extension of the great Pacific cultural exchange. There is no reason why an American should not be allowed make their own "authentic" manga.

These guys seem pretty cool. I'm gonna have to check out this show.

[Air]

Yay! lol. The quote is too long. It makes my head hurt. "I think, therefore, I have a headache."

[sicklelee]

Sorry Had an Computer error

[sicklelee]

Anyone think Avatar the last Airbender will be at Future Anime Festivals???

[Air]

Probably. It's high promoted on Nick. And it's pretty popular already. MOMO RULES!!!! Sorry, I'm hyper today. And I just love saying that, lol.

[sicklelee]

Ya MOMO is tight

[Starwind Amada]

Watched it.

Hated it.

Too kiddiefied for me.

And since it's like anime, Nick will undoubtedly cancel it after a week.

[Starwind Amada]

TV Tome also has a very craptastic review of the Evangelion TV series which fails to mention any of the Evangelion TV series. I wouldn't trust anything that tries to be as comprehensive as TV Tome, as it is bound to be full of mistakes and errors.

I just read that review. You're right. They never mention the series and they say the movies aren't good but they don't say why. Then they go and create a guide of so-called "goofs" that are really just animation inconsistencies and such. That crap of a website should be taken down.

[Air]

Proved you wrong right there. It premiered Monday last week. It's Tuesday and the second episode was in a rerun today, so it's not canceled. And they have a new eppy Friday. "kiddiefied"? Is that even a word? And how old are you anyway? Which eppy did you see? The hour one or the half-hour one? "cause the first on is a little sillier than the second one so....


AND MOMO RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone who disagrees with that will feeel a wrath like no other. *sharpens swords and pulls on the cords so the chainsaws revv* Any takers?

[demon_puppet]

I didnt really like it either... I started watching it... then I got extremly bored

[Air]

Which episode. First one was a little boring to me(Then again, I did tape it and watch it 10 times), but the second one was better. The first one sorta...dragged on a bit. *pulls cords on chainsaws angain and grins maniacly*

[sicklelee]

Ya the 30 minute episode was good.The full Hour episode was just trying to set things off so we could get to know the Characters and the Storyline so we could understand everything.

Since know there done with that it should start getting good but it was already interesting from the start.But you had to be patent just for everything to jump off to a good start.

[sicklelee]

Anyone have an idea where the storyline will go, besides him mastering the 4 elements, and kicking some serious fire bender a$$, like any side stories or funny things he might run into--like chasing the lemur in the air temple kinda lightened the situation

This is what I thought it would go like

Aang & the rest of the gang will probably meet new people and interact with them.They probably will want to discover new things because this is Katara and Sokkas' first time ever leaving their homeland the South Pole.They probably will end up in dangerous situations and sidetrack themselves from their mission.

[Tacofiend]

Yeah, you're just a weenie. You need to open up more. I just want to tie you down to a chair in front of an episode of Avatar and hold your eyelids open and force you to watch it.

Well, yeah, you can't just sum all that up in 5-10 minutes. It was sorta like a prequal, but not really. It was like a flashback oif the present. Yeah, I make no sense, I know.

Anyone have an idea where the storyline will go, besides him mastering the 4 elements, and kicking some serious fire bender a$$, like any side stories or funny things he might run into--like chasing the lemur in the air temple kinda lightened the situation

"Lightened the situation"? I think you forgot what happened when he tied to catch Momo. Huge little hissy fit, destroyed a wall, and freaked out. I think he's going to probably befriend the Earth something-that-I-forgot-what-their-regions-are-called and the North Pole Water tribes, and he's going to try and learn water bending but before he learns a lot, he'll have to go up against Prince Zuko and the ther firebenders and (of course) he's gonna win, or narrowly escape and Katara will have to save his a$$ a couple of times at least.

[Air]

I think there's a law against that...
And your point is...?

[Akemi]

I actually thought it was amusing. Oo; I don't know why a lot of people are hating on it. It's a good story, and very comical at times. I love it. x3

[Air]

Yay! lol. Sorry, I'm really hyper today. MOMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sicklelee]

Aang is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Porco Rosso]

I finally got around to seeing it.

It's pretty good. A lot better than most American-made cartoons anyway. The voice actors kind of suck, but I got used to it by the end of episode three.

I'm kind of "meh" with it right now, so I'll have to decide after I watch 4 and 5 if it's worthy of watching regularly. So far it isn't bad though, just not amazing.

I didn't mean a week, I meant "at some point in the near future". Duh. Anyway, I'm much older than you probably are if you like that show. "Eppy"? What are you, in kindergarten?

And, uh, your swords and chainsaws aren't allowed. There's a rule on this board that states "No weapons of any kind are permitted here, including swords, guns, rocket launchers, and bombs." ^_^

And why are you obsessed with a mutant penguin? WTF?

Hey now. Basing someone's perceived age on what animation they like is a bit biased. I know a 24 year old who likes, no loves Spongebob Squarepants. Yuck.*shudder* I know I'm older than you, but I still like Avatar. Though I do revel in my immaturity. :P

And, uh, your swords and chainsaws aren't allowed. There's a rule on this board that states "No weapons of any kind are permitted here, including swords, guns, rocket launchers, and bombs." ^_^
How about ball-point pens? They're not technically weapons. Lighters and hairspray? Tasers? Old Pauly Shore movies?

And why are you obsessed with a mutant penguin? WTF?
Not gonna touch that one.

That's... really harsh. Oo; It really is.

And how old you are really doesn't play a role in what things you like, like Devyndrynn already stated.

And I think the forum administrators would be more worried about logic bombs, viruses, and the like, instead of role-playing weapons which do no harm to others. o_o; You need to chill.

Stop bashing Avatar the last Airbender if u don't like the show than don't watch it anymore and stop posting bad remarks about the show.Let the people who like the show like me be able to discuss good things about Avatar the last Airbender without your bad comments.

[sicklelee]

New EPISODE tonight

[sicklelee]

Tonight's episode should be really good. It's airs tonight on Nick at 8 ET for newbies.

[Crowquill]

haha, why did I read this entire thread?

[Devyndrynn]

haha, why did I read this entire thread?
morbid curiosity? ;)

[Air]

First of all, Momo's a lemur. Second of all, why don't you go die and do the world a favor? I'm really pissed off right now, so DO NOT MESS WITH ME. And anything can be used as a weapon. You can die from me shoving a stack of Post-its down your throat. Kindergarten? Nah, I don't think so. 6th grade, but I still feel pretty young. Eppy is just because I didn't feel like typing out "episode". Yeah, I'm lazy, but get over it. If you don't like Avatar, get the f*** out of here. Okay, solving the weapon thing: *tosses revving chainsaws and swords over her shoulder and hears person scream"AAAH! MY ARM!"*

Woo-hoo! New episode! Yay! I can't believe they threw Momo in a bag. What's it gonna do, pee on you?

[spinorex]

The fourth episode just aired and it was pretty good. Sokka finaly stops being sexist to girls and realized his *** got handed to him by a girl. :lol: It looks like Aang is trying to get Katare's attention and impress her but she just wants to leave before the fire benders come. This episode seems to have more comedy than the last three, like the painter gives up trying to draw Aang when girls keeps showing up and Sokka crossdressing.

X_X Argh. I missed it. What time is the reshowing tomorrow morning? It -is- on the Saturday after, right?

[gunslinger]

Its on right now.

[lil'dragon]

X_X Argh. I missed it. What time is the reshowing tomorrow morning? It -is- on the Saturday after, right?

They're gonna show all four of the previously shown episodes next Friday at 8E/7C.

Good news for those who havn't seen it yet and want to. But it looks like there won't be a new episode next week. :(

[Air]

No new episode. :( Oh well. *watches reruns* Haha, Sokka got beat by a girl!!! He's so sexist! He got what was coming to him. I still can't get over the fact that they put Momo in a bag. And the guy called Sokka a girl! Yeah, it looked like Aang was trying to impress Katara, but it didn't work that well. He did look happy when she hugged him though, lol.

[sicklelee]

I liked the fighting at the end when Prince Zoku and the fire nation came.

[sicklelee]

If u had to pick which Bender would you be Air,Water,Earth, or Fire??

[sicklelee]

If I had to pick I would be an Earth bender so I could control rocks and things inside of the Earth.

[Balboa]

Airbending! Fire's my second choice...no wait, fire's tied with water for my second choice, earth is last. Airbending because air controls so many things around us. You can fly or levitate, you can sit on that little air-y ball, you can do that wind draft thing at the end of eppy 2, you can blow people away or literally off their feet, and endless more.

Airbending was my second choice, I like the Airball game Aang & Sokka were playing in the third episode.

[ZeroRyoko1974]

by your powers combined, I am Captain Planet....

[lil'dragon]

I think wind is the most powerful element in nature, so air bending would be my #1 choice. Though I'd love to master them all.

[Devyndrynn]

Fire for me. Don't ask me why. I've always had a thing for fire. And before anyone asks, no I do not burn things that would cause trouble.

[Air]

Airbending was my second choice, I like the Airball game Aang & Sokka were playing in the third episode.
Yeah, that Airball game was really cool! It looked really fun to play(if you were an airbender that is, otherwise you'd get your butt kicked. Literally. Or you'll just brake and/or pull something)!

[sicklelee]

What if Aang died and Sokka and Katara where enslaved by the fire nation at the end of the series???

Not knowing if its really gonna happen

What would u guys do????

[sicklelee]

There reshowing all of the Avatar the last Airbender episodes tonight on Nick at 8 ET/7 central.

I'm planning to record all of them tonight

[Air]

I have them all recorded already. Watched them all so much....heehee...

[sicklelee]

I have them all recorded already. Watched them all so much....heehee...


Oh great well I recorded all of the episodes last night.

[sicklelee]

Did ya'll see the preview of the 5th episode at the commercial breaks last night?? It looks like the 5th episode will be good when Aang and the rest of the group go to the EARTH kingdom.

[ekpil_2000]

This is my first post pls be kind

I expect there to be some involved story about the previous fire avatar and the origin of the war.

I'm also praying this show dosn't do a pirates of dark water. An end in sight but never delivered.

I think an earthbend could play air ball by moving the posts.

If I could be a bender I'd choose air not because I dont like burning things but because I've literaly dreamed and to my recollection always wanted to fly free.

[sicklelee]

I like how they made them mix their spirt powers with Martial Arts

I agree with you to the fullest

[sicklelee]

The fifth episode this coming Friday Aang and the group are going to the Earth Kingdom.

Doesn't Aang have to learn the arts in order? So isn't he skippnig ahead if he goes right to Earth kingdom?

Still though: Glad that Earth bending is finally gonig ot be showen. My guess is beside using the Earth bending to tear out the ground, and smack it at someone. Could do some "Armstrong" style attacks.

FUll Metal Alchemist viewers will know, what i am talking about.

[Air]

I <3 Avatar!!!
wtf does "<3" mean? I've been wondering that for a long time.

I didn't get to see much of the preview for the new eppy, my sound was on 0 and I had to turn it up, but it looked really good.

My friend moved and she likes the show too, and she missed the 4th eppy, so she wants me to mail my video tape to her. I've sent her two letters already, the last one using 3 stamps. I'm gonna run outta stamps!

Avatar: the last Airbender seems ok to me but it seems very similar to Naruto.

[ekpil_2000]

I know ang is just like naruto in that the people expect great things of him and sokka is just like saske never brooding never plotting revenge always boasting about the great warrior he isnt and katara is just like sakura always trying to hook up with sokka.

Naruto and gang always on the run from the evil garo.

And their powers are erily similar being saske and sakura are clearly water elementals and naruto is multi-elemental.

The only real diffrence I see is that everybody knows about narutos hidden overwhelming power but nobody knows about angs.

But I like any show that integrates "magic" into fighting style.

ok everybody yell at me how its not magic.

I hope you're being sarcastic... if not, I beg to differ.
Sakura is after Sasuke yes, but Katara is Sokka's sister. Hooking up...Ew. :x

Naruto has never really run from anybody. Maybe been dragged away by teachers once or twice, but never run away.

Sasuke, if anything, uses fire jitsu. After all he does that 'breathing a gigantic fireball' thing quite a bit.

Sakura, I'd call earth based. I won't go into why. It's based on things that happen later in the manga.

[Air]

WTF IS THIS ABOUT?!?! Stop comparing it to some other show! I don't know the other show. NEW EPPY TONIGHT!!!!!!!! 15 MINUTES LEFT!!!!!!!!! OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

omg i hated this "amerime" with a passion holy crap the art was terrible and they think of any hair styles cmon like 5 ppl in the anime had the same exact hair what is up with you guyz and watching nikelodeon you need to stop watchin Nick and start watchin real anime for a change i think i state my point

[Porco Rosso]

Grammar, please.

[So'/ sauce|) coo|<ie]

I just watched two episodes of the show tonight and I thought it was pretty good. It was funny too. The animation wasn't that bad and I really liked some of the action sequences. I think it has the makings of an entertaining show and I look forward to watching more of it.

[ekpil_2000]

It was sarcasm.

I want a never ending supply of rock candy.

I would think it a better use of time to go post about somting I like than coming here to complain.

Not that theres anything wrong with venting or voicing an oppinion when you dislike somthing.

Earth bending is BAD @SS. (I would be a Earth Bender

sickelee, use the damn edit button. Your countless posts about nonsense are getting very annoying.

And if you're answering a question, quote it. You said "Yes I will," and I don't know who you were talking to. If the question is not the previous post, quote it, otherwise we won't know what you're talking about.

TRANSLATION: Oh my god, I hated this "amerime" with a passion. Holy crap, the art was terrible and they (the animators) can't think of any hair styles. C'mon, like 5 people in the "anime" had the same exact hair. What is up with your guys watching Nickelodeon. You need to stop watching Nick and start watching real anime for a change. I think I state my point.

I agree, although I know everyone here doesn't consider it real anime and does watch other stuff. I think Avatar is garbage, though. Any cartoon where they say "get" and "destroy" is deemed unwatchable, at least to me.

Wow. I didn't know dumb people had opinions!

When you post next time, try using some punctuation and putting some thought into what you post.

OK, the hair style thing. I have an answer to that. You're thinking of the waterbenders, right? They all have the same hairstyle because it's like a tradition thing. They all have the same clothes and hair style. It's supposed to be that way.

Try thinking when you start flaming something, OK? What is it, amerime or anime? You said it was amerime in the beginning of your post, and anime in the end.

We can watch whatever we damn please. If you don't like it, deal with it. We're not making you watch it, so what's your problem?

And what makes you think just because we watch Avatar that we don't watch "real anime"? Huh? We can watch both!

Finally, 2 more things:
1. Don't even attempt to argue with me, you're never gonna win when my IQ is about 100 higher than yours.

and

2. Go screw yourself.

[ArucardX9]

I've seen the first few episodes and they were pretty good. I like it when a show uses elements, like fire and earth, as the main base. Even though its a show with ceertain restrictions, like no swearing and no bloody battle scenes, its still good.

Does it really matter wheither its considered anime or not? That seems to be the biggest arguement on this thread, other then that every likes the show.

[Devyndrynn]

Actually it seems to be one of the biggest continuing arguments on this forum (Right next to the morality/legality of fansubbing/downloading). :P
Other arguments pop up and then go away, the anime v. non-anime argument crosses threads, and pops up like a bad case of Space herpes *snicker* (Anyone who's seen the movie Ice Pirates should get that obscure reference. ;) )

[sicklelee]

New episode tonight at 8ET/7 C on Nick for any newbies.

[Starwind Amada]

Dude, there's no need to inform us of every new episode (especially since half of us couldn't care less about the show). Stop trying to up your post count.

[ekpil_2000]

I don't know how this forum works but why are people who don't care about the show getting these posts?

We've seen ang run faster using airbending. Do you think earth bending could be used to run faster or better yet earth surfing. Less destructive with use of a rock bike or rock skateboard.

Real surfing and running on water can be cool to.

If metal dosen't count as earth perhaps there could be metal benders.

[Air]

I have a question here regarding Earthbending.

OK, so does anyone know what rocks are made out of? Sand.
And what's sand made out of? Silicon.
OK, so if silicon's in our body, so shouldn't Earthbenders technically be able to like throw people across the room or levitate or something? Just scientific curiousity. And what about iron? I dunno what it is, but I think it's Earth. And that's also in our body. Not much((seriously, trace amount)), but it's in there.

And new question, this time for Airbenders.

OK, so all the crap in the air includes this stuff: Nitrogen, oxygen, argon, CO2((whatever the hell that is)), helium, neon, kypton((no, not the planet that Superman came from)), xenon, radium, and water vapor. ((my science teacher is very imformative)) So shouldn't Airbenders be able to control things that has any of those elements in them?

[master terrence]

^ you can be the periodic table alchemist if you'd like :lol:

[utena sama]

so far it's seems to be good. i like it (has nothing to do with having to watch little sis watch it at all.....not at all........)*snap back to reality* it could bo considered anime but not true anime. in my personal opinion. :censored:

[ekpil_2000]

I'm getting the feeling there won't be to sciency a logic behind the bending skills. I mean look at the fire coming outta nowhere and before somone thinks to compare living beings to fire, air and water are often the same thing in diffrent states so a water bender should be able to bend water vapour and steam, and were oxygen in its many forms bendable by air benders that would include things like water and rust.

Well, actually, they do explain the fire thing in one episode when Zuko spazzes out because he has to learn "the basics". And remember that...what was it called? That match thing between him and Commander Zhou? Oh! An Agni Kai! "Break his route!" or something was what his uncle said. Based on that fight, I think that the firebenders get the fire from the core of the earth, like the heat and stuff, and sort of mix it with their enegy to create...FIYA!!! So...that's kinda logical.

^ you can be the periodic table alchemist if you'd like Well, that's basically because we're studying the periodic table of elements in Science class. Along with atoms and stuff like that. I could give you the exact amounts of the elements in the air, also. lol. When my science teacher teaches something, she goes full out.

[WickedKitty]

Its anime style but yet it is not anime... there for is it anime or isn't it anime? hmmm.

[Air]

It's Korean sorta, so I guess that kinda makes it anime...

[Artimis12]

I'm getting annoyed if you want to talk about how it is or isn't anime....

((my science teacher is very imformative)) So shouldn't Airbenders be able to control things that has any of those elements in them?
Technicaly, we're 70%(?) water, so waterbenders ought to be able to throw people around easily, and considering the amount of air in our bodies, airbenders should be able to, too. Then, there can be a lot of water vapor in the air (depending on where you are/the weather), so waterbenders should also be able to control the air to a limited exstent. And if firebenders use anything other than just magic to control fire, that'd open a whole new avenue. And it goes on from there.

[ekpil_2000]

Water can be extremely hard.
Water jets are used to cut many hard things such as stone.
A water bender could posses strength and jumping height and perhaps some level of enhanced healing.

Two warriors limblost in epic battles but replaced by ones created of there element water and stone enter battle.

They hit and dodge one anothers limbs the water breaking on the seemingly impervious stone both tire and boths powers dwindle the water bender expending cuntinued effort to reform his limbs the earth to move his.

The earth bender notices the smallest wearing in his hardend arms and reforms to reinforce it the next clash and now they've both noticed a greater wearing to them.
The earth bender grows concerned has his oppentent been holding back or has he caught a second wind it apears not but clearly somthing has changed.

The water bender knows why. He can feel the tiny shards of hardend rock in the water and with each continued swipe they grow larger and more numerous.

The earth bend knows not how but that he is beat and tunnels away leaving the water bender a hollow victory.

[Air]

^Cool. MUA-HAHA!! WATER SHALLTRIUMPH OVER EARTH!

Wow. Good logic. And considering that whole 70% water thing((I thought it was 75%, but oh well)), since water is a compound((my science teacher will be so proud that I remembered that, lol)), it concists of 2 hydrogens and an oxygen. So since oxygen is in water and air, shouldn't water benders be able to control air, too? And shouldn't airbenders be able to control water? And what about polluted water? depending on what's polluting the water, shouldn't the earthbenders be able to control water? And not to mention polluted air. Once again, depending on what's polluting it, shouldn't earthbendes be able to control the air? And I have no idea what's in fire, but I know that oxygen's in it, so shouldn't firebenders be able to control air, and airbenders fire? Beat that logic.

God, I love saying that.

You do realize that this is a thread for people who like the show?
Saying you don't like it. Sure, fine, your opinion. Saying that you think it was stupid. Again, your opinion. But making a broad, sweeping statement that it was stupid insults those who like it.



Please refrain from poking the large carniverous beasts... er... um... I meant the fans. :P

So nobody knows I'll have to wait for tonight then.

[Air]

Yep, they are. Well, were. Too late now. *sweatdrops* That eppy creeped me out. *shudders*

[Levon]

Just got done watching the first episode(I downloaded it, sue me) and I must say I was very surprised. I loved the first episode so I'll continue to watch. It was actually original, not cliche super hero or silly comedy stuff like most American shows. I do like the comedy, some can be kinda childish but that girls brother was pretty funny I thought.

I havn't seen such a great American cartoon with a plot like this in a long time since ExoSquad & Beast Wars.


I just hope the show won't become very filler based, but it doesn't seem like it.

[Ladyceres]

my uncle was yelling at me the other night saying it was anime I doubt it really is anime and I ain't watching it because the first time I saw it I was put to sleep

Next time, punch your uncle in the face for dissing anime. He can diss Crapatar all he wants, though, that fake anime wannabe. ^_^

[Air]

Wow, you violent people.

I went to my Uncle's house last night and I was watching Dragon Ball GT on his new bigsceen TV and I was like "This is the kind of show you watch on a big screen. Lots of bomb-ey stuff." It looked so much cooler.

I stayed up last night and I was watching like adult swim and stuff(for like the 3rd time in my life. I either fall asleep by then or am watching SNL or the Comedy Channel). I saw Inuyasha which I have never seen in my life and the 15-20 minutes of what I saw of it, I thought it was great. OK, a little off-topic here, but who cares. 2 things: 1. Is Shippo a boy or a girl(really hope it's a boy, otherwise-Ew!) and 2. What time and what days does it come on? Thanks.

I can't believe that they're not having a new ep of Avatar on Friday! Of course, now my friend can finally catch up, she called me on Friday in the last 20 seconds of Avatar and I was like "Why aren't you watching?" and she was "Oh my god! It's on?!" Then it ended and I'm "Haha, you just missed it.". So people who are in dire need of a watch can catch up with the 2 hour showing of the 4 eps of Avatar.

[TheNewtype]

Orignally I didn't think that the show would be that great, but since I have started to watch it I have loved it and have seen every episode....I AM THE MASTER OF ALL FOUR ELEMENTS!!!

Um...maybe when they finish a season or two? You can't really have a DVD with only 8 or 9 episodes on it.

It's sooooooo not anime. it's all usa

[Devyndrynn]

Um...maybe when they finish a season or two? You can't really have a DVD with only 8 or 9 episodes on it.
Wait, What? Since it's an American series... Americans like to sell DVDs with only 3-4 episodes per disk. So... who knows. Mebbie a disk soon?


Oh and yubimiahiei, we've established that it's American. We don't need to be reminded by everybody who comes through.

[Starwind Amada]

Wait, What? Since it's an American series... Americans like to sell DVDs with only 3-4 episodes per disk.

Yeah, only with anime. American cartoons on DVD (like The Simpsons and Family Guy) usually have multiple discs with a total of, maybe 13 episodes.

[vguy05]

is this a anime

[Levon]

No its not.

[ekpil_2000]

if firebenders draw their fire from the center of the earth
and the commet brings fires to the skies
mabey fire benders can fly then and only then
as well as the mere abundance of their flame then
mabey thats how they got to the air kingdom

[Yatsuhiko]

Someone may have writen this but anime is short for animeshon which translates into animation. Anime and animeshon are both writen in Katakana. Anyway. I saw some of this Avatar. I don't like it. The animation in Avatar looks kinda blocky as in when they move. I don't dispise it, I just don't care for it.

[Yatsuhiko]

I saw Inuyasha which I have never seen in my life and the 15-20 minutes of what I saw of it, I thought it was great. OK, a little off-topic here, but who cares. 2 things: 1. Is Shippo a boy or a girl(really hope it's a boy, otherwise-Ew!) and 2. What time and what days does it come on? Thanks.

Shippo is a boy. And well I can say when it's on here but I'm in Hawaii so time differs. On Saturday Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday I think.

[nightwalk]

its an ok show but i wouldnt call it anime

[Starwind Amada]

its an ok show but i wouldnt call it anime

Nobody would. It's not from Japan; thus, it's not anime.

Oh, and Sicklelee, I only told you to shut up once, not a million times. And learn some freakin' grammar, cause I have no idea what you said.

Anime is not specified as coming from Japan, some stuff is made in England!
(like Jing king of Bandits)

The Japanese would call it anime, to them anime isn't just Japanese animation.

How was King of Bandit Jing made in England? I don't understand.

Stop freakin' picking on Sicklelee, he didn't do anything to you! Just freakin' tell him to check the listings! You don't have to turn into a maniac because he wants to know if a new ep. is going to come on!

Actually, when I looked in my TV listings, they didn't have it as a new ep.((the one for this week which I know from a commercial that it's new)) so those things aren't that accurate. And some people can't go on nick.com to check. I can't, nick.com freezes up my computer((which REALLY pisses me off, I just want to throw it out the window!)) when I go on it.

You should start taking some Anger mangement classes MR.freakin.

OK, phyco moment over now.

[ekpil_2000]

will this forum start disscussions about the show much soon
characters plot fan stories i don't know somthing

[sicklelee]

What ranking or status would you give Avatar the last Airbender of all the shows you like to watch???

[Dr. Ezra]

5/5 For American animation.

[Levon]

Compared to American cartoons I'd rate it pretty high, compared to anime lower. I hardly like it more than lots of anime but its still something special as far as American cartoons go.

[sicklelee]

SICKLELEE's TOP 5 SHOWS OR ANIME's


1. Avatar the last Airbender/ Shura No Toki Age of Chaos (Can't decide between the two)

2. Rurouni Kenshin the TV series or Samurai X

3. Fullmetal Alchemist

4. Yu Yu Hakusho

5. Inuyasha

[sicklelee]

Ya its probably the best American cartoon out there right now

[Artimis12]

No crap it's looks a lot better then our best work
(you know samurai jack got an emy for best animated design? :huh: )

[Sharp-kun]

Either the flamewar ends or this thread goes and the participants are dealt with. You have been warned.

[Starwind Amada]

I'd rather watch Baby Looney Tunes.

[Cool_Vash]

...

I just realized I missed it...

again

GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! >O<

*flurry of swearing not fit for mortal ears, but perhaps vikings*

[sicklelee]

Lets say if you were the creator of Avatar the last Airbender how would you get your show to be favored by more people and what other adjustments would you give Avatar the Airbender to make it a top notch show like the animes Fullmetal Alchemist, Samurai X, Inuyasha, and so much more great anime titles???

The only thing I can think of right now is to probably advertise more like when the show first came out. I would try to get my show in more magazines so people could check out my show to see if they like it or not. Not only would that help boost up the company's tv ratings but the show itself. I would try to get Avatar the airbender in magazines like New Type USA and Beckett anime even though its an American anime, but it should still get some recognition in their magazine because it does have the word anime in American anime. I'm not trying to say Avatar the airbender sucks are anything its really a great show to watch. Avatar is one of my favorite shows out there its in my top 5 list of animes even if its an American production.Thats basically what I would do if I was the creator of Avatar the last airbender

[sicklelee]

So know thoughts or anything???

[ZGMF-X23sSavior]

the show isnt terrible..... i just dont like how ameria today seems to suffer from this "lets give it big eyes and call it anime so kids will like it!" thing...

lets face it, Anime is Japanese, cartoons are american. avatar is american therefor its a cartoon there said and done!

[Suki]

I personally think it's not that great.
I do the same thing with Japanese anime so don't get mad at me.
I don't hate Airbender for being American, I just hate it for it's poor quality

1. The animation is just crap. It's choppy most of the times, and when ever theres fast movement, the animation becomes 5 FPS
2. THe voice acting is just terrible. The childish-like sound effects, and the VA's just sound mono-toned.
3. It wasn't really creative background wise. It reminds me a whole lot of Golden Sun and Naruto(Sasuke)
I'm just not impressed with it. I'm trying to watch it every friday, to get into it. It's strange. I'm just not getting "in" to it. Even though this is a new innovation, it just doesn't cut it.
I'm going to give it a 5/10. Any one who says that I Shouldn't be posting in this topic is an idiot. This topic is supposed to discuss your opinions on Airbender.

[Starwind Amada]

Avatar Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

It's just another lame attempt at trying to get more people to watch American cartoons and shows that American cartoonists think anime is just big eyes. Hmm, does that mean if I draw a man with big muscles than he's an X-Man or Justice League member? OH NOEZ, STAN LEE WILL SUE MEEEEE!!!!!!! :lol:

marvel comics sucks

[Kyra]

Considering all the other "American" cartoons out there, Avatar is pretty good. There isn't really anything else that can be compared to anime. When I watch American cartoons, it's more like SpongeBob or Billy and Mandy - a completely different thing altogether.

Starwind Amada stay out of this thread if u don't like the show you told us BILLION OF TIMES that you don't like the show . Why do other people watch the show for the first time and state wheather they like it or not ONCE, but u keep telling us millions of times why u don't like the show??

U NEED TO GO BACK TO PRESCHOOL UNTIL U GROW UP LIKE A MATURE PERSON!!!!!

[sicklelee]

Am I the only one still keeping up with the tv series???

[Starwind Amada]

Am I the only one still keeping up with the tv series???

Probably. I like Megas better.

Plus, you keep making threads about this damn show and it's getting childlike and annoying. I watched the show the other day and it was very bland and boring. The animation was simple and the voice acting was terrible (normal for Nick shows). I give Avatar a 3 out of 10.

[Devyndrynn]

Am I the only one still keeping up with the tv series???

I keep getting distracted by Stargate. :P

[DarkWhistler1]

Whether it's classified as anime or not, I like the show and I think that Nickelodeon should carry more shows in that style.

[Matsu'o Tsurayaba]

I like Avatar,its a original plot and story.The art is also very similar to a anime.I hope that it does have a good run.

[sicklelee]

Anyone going to a anime festival and will be looking for Avatar the last Airbender???

[Starwind Amada]

They're called anime conventions, not festivals. Also, for the hundredth time, Avatar is not anime, so why would it be at a con? Go ahead and ask where the Avatar panel or screening is; the staff will either go "Huh? What's Avatar?" or go "That's an American show that tries to look like anime but it isn't, so WE DON'T HAVE IT." Get it through your head that the show is in no way Japanese, thus, it is NOT anime.

BTW, this post is in no way insulting Avatar, so there is no reason for you to start yelling at me again.

Avatar the last Airbender was at the Anime North 2004 convention where they showed a sneak preview of Avatar before it was shown on Tv this year and they had a bio on it also. Check your info before start typing

[sicklelee]

The upcoming episodes looks really good, and has a lot of mature themes in it.

The new episode this past Friday gave a whole lot of info on past events in Aang's and Zuko's life. It was very interesting

[sicklelee]

Avatar: The Last Airbender has ranked among the top rated cable television programs approximately a half-dozen times as of current. The success of the program is not limited to only national exposure however; as only recently at the Ninth Annual Cartoons on the Bay International Festival in Italy, the animated television series was honored with two awards for its stylistic uniqueness and plot comprehension. Awarded The Best Action & Adventure Series And The Best Series of the Year, Avatar: The Last Airbender looks to be an animated television series well gauged for further success on Nickelodeon. for more details click on the link

God... You need to learn how to use the EDIT button.

Really, "Stylistic uniquness and Plot Comprehension"???
It's just a show that takes ideas from other hit shows and adding it in. I see a huge Resemblanse to Naruto when ever i "try" to watch it.

[Magami No ER]

My brother finds anime annoying, thinks this is good. Obviosuly, it's good for a "typical" American cartoon, and it has viewers.

Avatar the last Airbender doesn't take other ideas from other shows.It has unique things and ideas that I haven't seen in other shows IF YOU EXACTLY TOOK THE TIME TO WATCH THE SHOW YOU WOULD KNOW.

[sicklelee]

Don't worry your brother is doing a good deed by watching Avatar the last Airbender. It's a really great show to watch.

You don't need to use caps all the time. There's something called a "bold" option that you can express your feelings and opinions 'without' using Capslock. Atleast try to make yourself look more mature than you really are.

And I have taken time to watch it. I'm just sick of it.

For your info the bold doesn't work on my computer all of the time plus I can do whatever I want so I don't need any advetise from the likes of you.

[sicklelee]

Is Avatar the last Airbender in Japan and is it popular or doing well just like in the United States???

[Suki]

The bold options works on every computer. It is a HTML preset that you can choose to put a phrase in, and poof.
When you reply, not in quick reply, there is a "B" button. And if you are in guided mode, a pop-up appears and allows you to type in it.
I'm not advertising. I'm just telling you the options you can choose from to modify and make your posts look alittle bit more "Grown-up" if I might say.

[Devyndrynn]

To the pots and the kettles... I am finding your shades rather disturbing as well. Perhaps you should inspect yourself before pointing out each other's problems, yes?

And Avatar never reminded me of Naruto. Where are your comparisons coming from?

[Suki]

From very trustworthy resources.. I'm really lazy to list all of them out.

[sicklelee]

Whenever you have sometime and feel like posting them I would love to see your trustworthy resources and list of similiaries of Avatar the last Airbender & Naruto.

What tribe outfit do ya'll like the best out of Airbenders, Waterbenders, Earthbenders, or Firebenders and what which one would you wear on the daily basis???

[Irons]

Hahaha, this is the greatest thread I've ever seen. I wish I had more posts in it.

Are you sure you don't work for Nickelodeon, sicklelee?

[tlsmith1963]

I saw most of the episodes, & I thought they did a great job. Of all the American animated series that try to be like Japanese animation, this is the best one. It had an interesting, arc-type story, & it was fun to watch.

[Loopy]

Are you sure you don't work for Nickelodeon, sicklelee?

Yeah, I'd like to know this as well :)

[Gerudo Grunt]

After watching more episodes, I think its a pretty decent show. Whenever I see it on, I don't mind watching if I'm not busy and do enjoy it at points. I do miss some episodes so sometimes I'm a bit confused but I still get it. I do hope Nick airs all the episodes one day once they've completed the first season, if they haven't already done so.

[HELLFISH88]

Hey what the **** is that giant flying thing?

The first season is still going there only up to the 12th episode the thirdteenth episode is this Friday.

Ya on the commercial they had Avatar the last Airbender under the marathon section so I guess they will show all of the episodes again. Just check the Nick schedule.

[sicklelee]

Anyone watched the thirdteenth episode last night?? It was great it seems like every episode is getting better and better. Aang and Zuko might become friends in the future concering on what happened in this episode.

[Loopy]

Stop bumping this topic. No one is watching this show. Tell that to your manager, 'cause we all know you're a Nickelodeon PR guy, sicklelee.

You're just pissy 'cause you think sicklee's got a job.
Why can't you people either say something nice, or bugger off? Really why come into a topic for the sole reason of spouting hate over the topic itself.

Nah I'm pissy because he won't stop bumping this topic that people have clearly showed a lack of interest in.

Because it has no place. If he learns this, then maybe he'll delete it.

That and a combination of this guy's posts are annoying me and I have nothing better to do at the time.

He can support any show he wants people have different taste and thats not bad at all.

[FakeReality]

avatar the last airbender isnt a anime its a cartoon for little kids ok plus its alredy airing on nick ive seen a few episodes just to broaden my horizens and it does have an anime type story line but lacks in every other apartment this show is for the youngens and isnt up to par in my standards plus it pails in comparison to some other anime ......abenaboshi.......inuyasha......... samuri champloo.........ruroni kenshin........
for a good show watch these

[Irons]

At other message boards I frequent, threads that are repeatedly bumped by their starter are closed. I say leave it open for now and let it sink and if he does it again, then close it. There's obviously no interest in this show here. The only reason this thread has gone on for so long is you keep selling it over and over again, and of course due to the initial interest in an "American anime."

[Devyndrynn]

It saddens me that a Samurai 7 fan is supporting a damn show like this.

Bah. the other shows I like have nothing to do with my defense of this one. I don't try to convince people that a show sucks just because I don't like it.
