Avatar the Last Airbender TV Series Review

Earth, Water, Fire, and Air.

I was chilling watching trailers in a movie theater then I saw this trailer for the Last Airbender and it took my breath away. Having a brother who is 10 years younger I was somewhat exposed to this name so it was familiar. My little brother was an Avatar junkie, but I never sat down to watch it with him, I should have. I mean I wrote it off, it was on Nickelodeon and I thought it was another piece of animation trash, again I was so wrong.

I hopped onto the Netflix about a week ago and started watching the 3^rd and final season first. I know it sounds backwards but A-I didn’t think I was going to get hooked and B-it was the only season that was streaming. It was AWESOME! Every episode was action packed, with multiple storylines going on and killer animation. This is one of the few series that both adult and kids can get down with.

So whats this shit all about? In this world there are 4 nations, Fire, Earth Water and Air. Certain people in each nation are born with the ability to “Bend”. Bending is the ability to manipulate a certain element, fire benders control fire, earth benders control the earth, and so on. The Avatar is like the Dali Llama, there is one 1 in existence at a time, and when an Avatar dies another will take its place, its reincarnation 101. The Avatar is unique because they have the ability to master all 4 elements and have an immense power. The story picks up during a period of war. The Fire nation is on a campaign to take the entire world and blanket it under his flag.  This war has been going on for a couple of generations and the last Avatar suddenly disappeared right when it started and the people of the world haven’t been able to find the next Avatar since.

At the beginning of the war the Air-benders are wiped out of existence, the last Avatar came out of the Air nation so out of fear the Fire lord at the time took out the ENTIRE NATION! But the last Air Bender was frozen in ice, where he stayed for 100 years. The last Air-bender happens to be the Avatar as well. His name is Anng, and he is one of the most memorable characters EVER.

The story begins with 2 water tribe kids stumbling upon Aang’s body frozen in time for 100 years. The story starts off with this trio, and as the journey continues they encounter both friends and enemies that test the bonds of friendship. In Fact this series is heavily relies on character development. Every season they grow up, in their appearance and their maturity. This character development is what makes this anime so likable, to see how charters change for better or worse over time. There are some serious twists and turns that make this story incredible.

This series has everything. Characters that have depth and you become very attached within a matter of minutes. The story and writing is fantastic. There is action, suspense, comedy, love, loss and an overall Zen like message.

I can go on and on going into massive amounts of details on many things within this series, but I wont, you need to watch this. Fuck Lost, Avatar the Last Airbender is the SHIT!!!! My rating, the always rare, oh shit, 5 MEATS!!!!!!

Needless to say I am ½ was through season 2 and will hit up season one right before the movie drops on July 2^nd. M Night Shyamalan cant fuck this movie up cause unlike all the other flicks he has been involved with, this is the only one that he didn’t write, so no stupid ass twists. DON’T FUCK THIS UP!!!!!
