    Really amazing start to an amazing show. Iroh is one of the best characters of all time.

    Probably the weakest season out them all.
    The series starts very childlike, but there's still more heart, humour, drama, and lore packed into this first season of Avatar than some high-budget series you see on, for example, Netflix these days.

    The initial episodes seemed to be designed for a younger audience, but they teased how the show would mature over time. In the very first episode we get to see:
    • how Aang can become ruthless and instil fear when he enters the Avatar state
    • seemingly impossible burdens imposed on youth
    • misguided ideals driving a person

    Y’know, that’s pretty deep already for a kids show. And it only gets bigger from here on out.

    The cast of a show can make or break the show. In the case of animation. voice acting plays an extremely important role. All of the major supporting characters: Katara, Sokka, Iroh and Zuko are written and voiced well. The voice actors brought them to life with a wide spectrum of emotions.

    Katara and Sokka play an important role in nursing Aang into his role as the Avatar. But this is never at the expense of their own characters, as they both have strong storylines suited for them (Alliteration game on point.). Both characters are plagued by horrors carried out by the Fire Nation and want to help restore order in the world. Katara is caring and motherly, always looking out for the best interests of the gang, while Sokka is more of a strategist and brightens the story with his humour. He plays a key role in developing new technologies that shift the tides of war. Sokka slowly becomes the heart and soul of the group that holds everyone together.

    The banished prince of the fire lord, Zuko is tasked with capturing the Avatar who is the last threat to the Fire Nation. In order to regain his honour and please his father, he sets his sight on catching Aang at any cost. Considering the arc Zuko is given, some people consider him to be the main character. It’s extremely satisfying to watch his father-son relationship with Iroh (who spits wisdom while bumbling around with a cup of tea), especially once we learn what Iroh has suffered. Its best to watch his story unfold on your own… so jumping to the next one.

    Toph Beifong epitomizes the saying size is no indication of power. She is a beacon of hope to all those who cry about life being unfair. She might seem to be frail, but we soon get to know she is amongst the most powerful Earthbenders in the world. Blind from birth and treated like a delicate instrument by her parents, nothing stopped her from growing into one of the most standout and creative characters in the show.

    In my opinion, Azula could be the most tragic character in the show. She’s Zuko’s sister and outshone him in terms of Firebending skills. In addition to being a prodigious bender, she was always cunning and mischievous. From a young age, she had learnt the art of manipulating people for her own gains. She is a tactician who successfully outsmarts her opponents with ease. But her apparent lack of humanity and signs of cruelty prompted her own mother to think of her as a monster. Her father was narrow-minded and his tunnel vision prompted the growth of her bending abilities while neglecting fatherly affection. Devoid of love and jealous of how her mother treated Zuko with care, Azula in turn became heartless. It shows how love can go a long way in shaping a person.

    Aang. The boy who feared becoming a god. The titular character, Aang is the last Airbender. The Fire nation launched a preemptive strike against the Airbenders, amongst whom the next Avatar would rise. When Aang was told of his status as the Avatar, he got cold feet. How was he -a mere kid- supposed to end the war? With growing pressures due to his intensive training as an Airbender and his role as the Avatar weighing on him, Aang flees. The air nation got wiped out in his absence, and Aang was powerless to help. We journey along with Aang as he begins to understand the role that the Avatar plays, and the challenges he must overcome in order to master all the elements. He always strives to fight injustice using non-violent means. At the end of the day, Aang is a 12-year-old tasked with an impossible mission. In the race to achieve this, would power ultimately misguide him and betray his ideals? What would he have to give up in order to save the world? His cheerful disposition to the world around him and his playful nature helps to bring out the light in a bleak war-torn world.

    The show has impressive animation, with creative combat scenes and some astoundingly well-animated sequences which are taken a step further considering the stakes and conflicts between the players involved.

    This is not just a show. It’s an experience, and I urge you to give it a shot. Go out and buy the Blu-ray or stream the show. Do yourself a favour and watch the legend of Aang, Katara, Sokka and Zuko. I promise, you will not be disappointed.    … Expand

    Story and Characters: 10x2
    Story is well told between characters and there's plenty of character development between all of the main characters. A lot of colorful personalities in the show, there's at least one character for everyone that they will enjoy greatly while watching the story unfold. A lot of flashbacks and background story in relation to the Avatar history.

    Graphics and Animation: 10x2
    Visuals were nicely done and the visuals surrounding the environments is nicely done showcasing the aspect of the world perfectly

    Sound and Music: 9x2
    The OST is nicely arranged into the show and each scene is perfectly fit with a certain song that meshes well with whatever is going on. The voice work is great however there are some questionable voice acting skits from time to time.

    Length and Replay Value: 9x2
    The show has 61 episodes and there's ton of rewatch value since it is quite a fun and exciting show however the story ended with some sort of cliff hanger but not so much it ruins an experience. You will need to read comics to get more of the story that takes place after the TV show.

    Fan Value: 10x2
    Overall its a great TV show and one of the last great TV shows to be made during the golden era (1995 to 2005).

    AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER is very good, has a magnificent plot and his story told captivates several emotions, enjoys wonderful legends and teaches teaching and respect. A story to be respected.

    La mejor serie que vi sin dudas, su humor es buenísimo, su animación también es muy buena, su historia es excelente y el mensaje que transmite es para tenerlo en cuenta.
    Sinceramente me dio pena terminar de ver la serie, ya que me encanto, su duración no es muy larga pero es la correcta, en fin la recomiendo totalmente.

The show has some excellent comedy, but also has genuine heartfelt and emotional moments, especially one episode in particular that I won't spoil; not only this but the action is thrilling, the dialogue is great without having a tonne of exposition, and even when it does it doesn't feel too shoehorned in, and all in all it's the closest show to perfect I've ever seen.… Expand

    Usually gets a little bit boring for someone who can't handle 30 minutes watching something that's not my type, but for the best part, it's Nickelodeon. They try to entertain us by watching this TV show that is a success to the Nickelodeon channel.

    What a great show. It has complex characters, witty humour and lots of creativity. Aang is a great character-he's mischievous and fun-loving but can also be very serious when he needs to be. I'm sad that it only lasted three seasons:(. Truly a great show, deserves the acclaim it gets.

    I happened to catch the airing of this show during a day off school, and I can honestly say I can not have been happier. I don't want to go into detail about everything that everyone has already said, but take it from me, who has watched the series through at least four times, that this is worth the watch.

    One of the best television shows I have ever watched. The series is well paced, the characters develop throughout, and the animation is well done. It is hard to catch a series with this much effort put into it. There are childish antics / cringe moments within the show, but it is fitting to the characters and makes sense.

    One of the pinnacles of Western animation, excellent writing and very, very high quality animation.
    It is only sad that they made a terrible movie out of it that shares the name with the series putting would be fans off of this masterpiece.
