[Anime] Avatar: The Last AirBender

this isn't one of my favorite series but from the first episode from the second season it looks like it has some potential. The story is definitly getting better.

Spoiler:

The avatar series consist of four elements but now I see how zuko (not sure if thats his name or if thats how you spell it) said something like "my father said my sister is a prodigy and so lucky to be born with such skill....and that I was lucky to ever be born" Now I can see why, his sister is the only person that can shoot lighting and even though its sort of cool, wtf is up with that. It kinda ruined the elemental circle @_@ Zuko is still one of my favorites becuase he fights, not to get rid of the avatar, but to capture him to gain his fathers love and respect. And even though he is kinda mixed up and selfish I feel he will join up with the avatar or atleast help him along the way and eventually fight his father in the process.

I still think the series need more permenent characters to stick with the series becuase they all eventually all come and go during only one episode. I just hope Saka remains as the only annoying character, he has enough of it to make me want to cut that rat he calls a hair cut >_<

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah I watched episode 2 as well when it came out:

Spoiler:

I see what your saying about different elements being combined from one like water with ice, or the way earth is created into mud but I dont see how fire creates lighting. I would think that Lighting would go along the lines of water or maybe wind but fire is different from my point of view. "Uncle" I think Can't Create Lightning he can only manipulate it, thats why he grabbed her hand and sort of Projected the attack to another direction, but zuko's sister can only create it out of her own body. So I still think she's a "one and only".
I was surprised to hear that he needed to go to back to his friend Bumi for training, He should have sought it when he was already there but I guess he needs to learn them in a certain order for him to control the next properly so he wont cause the problem as when he tried to learn fire bending.

and thats all I got to say about that ^_^
Although I'd like to see a few new characters brought into the story that are a more permenent part of the plot. I'd like to see another "prodigy" that has the elements of a "fake avatar" in which I mean he can control all elements in some way.

How ya doing, buddy?

When he burns Katara's hands, he demonstrated that he couldn't control the wildness of fire.

Yeah thats what I mentioned before becuase:

Spoiler:

The dude said something about learning the other elements first becuase fire is too wild to control

And you got a point about lightining creating fire, but thats when it strikes something. I'll wait to see if she can actually create fire as well.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I think you can find some torrents on a few sites like www.torrentspy.com and www.isohunt.com.
New episodes have started airing last week I think, its the continuation to the 2nd book. I didn't think much of the series since Ang is such a damn kid but zuko's story is so much more interesting from what they showed in the new episode. I'm also glad he started growing his hair ^_^

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I Caught the avatar finale (which you know really isn't the end) and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
They tried to play it off as a movie which was obviously four episodes back to back but it was cool that they did that. I don't know what else to say that everybody already mentioned.

Spoiler:

The sister goes crazy=awesome, although I would have liked to have seen some bit of closure between her and her brother since she was craving for some sort of love or companionship.
The guards at the ship were made too stupid for Nickelodeon fashion but whatever gets the job done.
and the fights were as awesome as ever since they used a lot of fluid movements in their styles that require a lot more than a straight punch.
And still I wasn't much interested in the avatar match nor his story since it's pretty much a one way road while Zuko leads him off to all sorts of directions.

I honestly haven't watched the avatar since around the halfway point of season 2 so when i saw the intro I was glad I saw Ang bald. I missed the whole thing with the hair, I even recognized all the characters so it felt like I didn't miss much, (don't know what that says about the story)
Overall i'm glad I caught the end and I'm kinda hoping that it stays the end but it looks a bit unlikely since they hinted that zuko will try to look for his mother and then Ang will find another reason to save someone somewhere and whatever.
If it does continue, the way I see it is that Zuko will become corrupted at some point because it isn't the avatar if there is no Zuko vs Ang

I was speaking idiomatically.

really? even after the end of each half hour they played the title number and title of the episode?
Any cartoon can play off episodes for a movie as long as the plot stays in tact. Except for family guy since their episodes are just random clips played like no one gives a shit.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oh man i just love how people are sending letters for this. From kids to parents, seems like there were a lot more avatar geeks than I thought.
I kinda have to agree with the controversy of the casting though, and I'm no big avatar fan. It's just that I'm getting sick of the one caucasian character being in a world where the culture has nothing to do with him and the reason for it is "so that the american audience can resemble to the character" (forbidden kingdom)
As Mooney once said in the chappelle show "I got an Idea for a movie. It's called "The Last Nigger on Earth", Starring Tom hanks"

FELIPE NO
