REVIEW Avatar: The Last Airbender(animated series)

I just finished watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. Now before I let my feelings get the better of me I'm going to finish this review. At first glance it seems like that story we've all heard before. In a world of four nations(fire, water, earth, and air) the fire nation at the lead of their evil ruler is trying to conquer the world and it's up to one boy(the avatar: Aang) to stop him. seem familiar? wrong. The story is deep, the writing is clever, and the action is realistic and believable (albeit I believe in ghosts & goblins. so what? :P). The animators actually studied martial artists and brought those styles to the series. Each episode is also riddled with well placed comic relief. All in all this is a must see for any anime lover. Hell even if you don't like anime you should watch this. It was created 100% in the U.S.A. and is sure to turn over all those "I don't know what's so great about those Japanese cartoons" people. You know the ones.

*Brain pop* OMG OMG OMG OMG. I LOVED THIS SHOW!
As you watch the characters grow and learn. You become attached and feel for them. That's what makes this a genuine work of art.
