Avatar, the Last Airbender

Jon · 09-12-2006, 07:22 AM

Though this movie isn't airing on Nick til Friday, seems On Demand got the jump on it.

I just watched it, and was another good pair of episodes.

I've gotta admit I may have only seen a few episodes but out of all the other crap Anime on kids tv today I think this show is one of the best.

That's 'cause it's American, not Japanese

As has been noted, Avatar is American-made. But yes, it is quite a good series.

I've seen most of it on Nick, and have gotten all the DVDs they've put out so far.

Avatar is acing every imported and Japan-based anime with how solid and fresh it is, whilst maintaining a western sense of adventure.

*Mecha Cow* · 09-12-2006, 11:57 AM

This show, atrocious Dutch dub and all, is one of my guilty pleasures. I hope we get season two here soon, even though I won't be able to watch much of it because of college.

Oh, my. So the US isn't the only one with bad dubbing, huh? [joking]

Though yes, think you'll also like Season 2. Some great new characters, and more of the same 'action/adventure' routine as Season 1.

Yeah, my feelings exactly.

Well, that's where it should be. Strange you don't have it.

Maybe it's not Comcast, because I can't find it either.

Very weird. Mine is Comcast, and has "Avatar #996" (I think that's right on the number denotion they put), which is the "Secret of the Fire Nation" Movie (made of the episodes "The Serpent's Pass", and "The Drill").

I haven't seen it yet. I heard of it a year before it got popular, and I have been meaning to see it, but I don't have cable. Looks like they really took the style of Anime to heart, and not just turned it into some Prepackaged junk that 50 year old children's programming execs would like (I'm talking to you, Loonatics Unleashed)

This looks like something that could have came strait out of Jump magazine or something. I'm a big fan... Dragon Ball, 80's Kinnikuman, One Piece, Naruto... all that. It's those lameass Pokemon/Yugioh Knockoffs (and crappy kid friendly shojos) that p me off!

Uh....no. The whole point is that it COULDN'T have come out of that magazine because it's 100 times better than most of that anime stuff.

ESPECIALLY Naruto, which is just a dated collection of assorted "JUMP's greatest hits" put into one story that pretends to be original, and unfortunatly, unoriginality gets big audiences just as equally as fresh concepts.

And yeah, this is'nt reminsicent of a JUMP product at all, but Xiolyn Showdown done without the s*itty humour and bad animation, and annoying characters, that's more of a badly done tribute to JUMP

*Cure* · 09-18-2007, 06:20 PM

OK, can a mod or someone change the title to just Avatar: The Last Airbender? I didn't wanna make a whole 'nother topic for it.

Anyway, season 3 starts this Friday, and I'm super-hot-dog excited to the max in effect, yo. This is the last season or "book" so it's gonna be crazy.

Here's a preview:

Jon · 09-18-2007, 06:43 PM

Here goes (with the start of a new post for this).

As Cure made note of in the old thread, Book 3 is starting Friday (on Nickelodeon).

And, to lead up to it Nicktoons has been having Marathons of Avatar, showing episodes from 2 to 7PM each day this week (along with a Book 3 Trailer yesterday, and some Shorts to be aired some time).

**GK Punk** · 09-18-2007, 07:54 PM

oooooooooooooooooooooooh look at the kid merging threads. go me.

I recently started really watching Avatar thanks to a marathon on Nick a week or two ago. Now I'm trying to watch all the episodes I've missed out on...looks like I chose a good time to start, eh?
