Summary: nick scores a homerun with avatar
Comment: This set contains the first twenty episodes of Nickelodeon's Series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Avatar takes place in a world that seems like a version of our past with one minor difference, Bending. Bending is a martial arts based elemental lifestyle. The book 1 collection encompasses the journey of the Avatar Aang in his awakening from a 100 year sleep to find the world has changed and war ravages his world. The young avatar with his new water tribe friends Katara and Sokka travel to the north pole to learn Waterbending while being pursued by the ruthless fire nation. Along the way Aang & co. meet a wide variety of incredibly well developed characters. Filled with action humor and self reflection uncommon in a cartoon, Avatar is a wonderful experience for all ages.

Summary: Amazing!
Comment: This show is simply brilliant! They use the 4 different types of martial arts for each bending style, and I think that's pretty cool.
The discs look awesome and the show looks better. The day this arrived, I couldn't stop watching it. I was mesmerized by the simple yet strong storyline. It's made for kids, but I wonder how many children actually know what's going on.
The first day this set was in my possession, I informed myself that I may need to order Book 2 sooner than I'd anticipated. Avatar is amazing.

Summary: Adults will love it as much as kids.
Comment: Avatar is exceptionally written, perhaps the best animated series ever to air in America. It's so good that acclaimed Director, M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN,(The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, The Village, The Happening) called it, "The coolest mythology I've ever seen," and put his own screenwriting on hold to spend the next six years producing/directing a BIG-SCREEN LIVE-ACTION TRILOGY of this story.
Adults may find the occasional comic relief a bit cheesy, but will love the character development, psychological depth, mythos, realistic martial arts, "special effects", and the excellent insights into Asian philosophy, sociology, and mythology, and even politics. I've been studying Asian culture and philosophy and teaching in Asia for years and I've gained insights from this series because the writers have found ways to introduce and explain Asian thought so simply that even kids can "get it". Ideas like chakras, Daoism, and Chinese philosophy of the balance and properties of the natural Elements are brought to life and illustrated in the characters lives, situations, and cultural settings. I bought this to watch my nephews (though I often watch it when they're not here too) and I think it's awesome because as they grow up in an increasingly Asian world, I think what they were exposed to in this show will make Asian culture (Chinese, Tibetan, Japanese, Indian, Korean) much more accessible and comprehensible to them than it was to me when I studied it.
Don't the the animation fool you, this series is EPIC MYTHOLOGY of exceptional crafting, on par with STAR WARS and LORD OF THE RINGS.
Mesmerizingly ENTERTAINING and uniquely EDUCATIONAL! With or without kids, you'll LOVE it!

Summary: The best thing to ever come out of Nickleodeon
Comment:
I've been a fan of Nickleodeon cartoons since I was ten, and I am presently twenty-five. As an Anime fan, I can say that most American attempts to emulate Anime are very disappointing. Avatar, however, is a masterpiece. It's perfect for all ages, has great writing and voice acting, and has little to no filler; every episode has tons of content. The Bending Styles in the series (Air, Water, Earth, and Fire) are based on actual martial arts, which is evident in how they meticulously animate the character's movements. Everyone should watch this series, it's absolutely amazing.

Summary: I LOVE AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER!!!!
Comment: I got started on this show because of my 5 year old son. He was watching it one day and it seemed interesting so I sat down to watch it and from then on I'm HOOKED. I thought it would be a cartoon for kids only but it's very much for adults too. I wanted to watch it from the beginning so I decided to buy both book 1 and book 2 collections. I also bought the book 3 fire volume 1 & 2 and I'm also going to buy the book 3 volume 3 in may! You wont be disappointed =). And you will be addicted. You will probably try to watch it all in one night. This is almost as good as Prison Break lol
