Avatar, The Last Air Bender

It took us a while, but we've completed this series from the DVD versions. Avatar The Last Air Bender is a TV series compiled into three "books:" Water, Earth, and Fire with each 'book' having a season's worth of episodes.

I must say I enjoyed this as much or more than my son, lol. I found the story compelling and some of the character development well done. I'm not saying this is a masterpiece by any means. I found the third 'book' to be the weakest of the series and throughout the series, much of it was predictable. Still, it was very fun to watch. I do love martial art movies and this one had a few different ones to show off. I also enjoyed the humour woven into the shows (beyond the punny or slap stick parts).

This is an *American* series and not Japanese animation and implements different Asian concepts.

An overly simplified summary from IMDB, "In a war-torn world of elemental magic, a young boy reawakens to undertake a dangerous mystic quest to fulfill his destiny as the Avatar." Follow the IMDB link for more info and some video clips.

Avatar wiki, a place to learn even more about the series and it's characters.

    Thanks for posting ankino, johnny, TomJ, and Rayden. We haven't seen the movie yet, but looks like we should, thanks for the recommendation.

    It looks like there might be a new tv series coming out with a new avatar (girl) who needs to learn airbending from Kitara & Aang's son!

    The many ways that the anime and movie gets along it is crazy! The anime indeed it is scifi action but seeing the movie in 3D in the local cinema it is indeed as crazy as jumping with a car over a cliff! Thanks for the reminder for what do we love anime!With welcome, but thanks to you i resaw the movie last night.!
