Summary: Good for kids
Comment: My 14 year old son really likes this. I can't get into it, but its not geared at the 30s crowd.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fantastic
Comment: This series totally rocks! :D I am really enjoying it! There were a few slow episodes in this season, but that is only to be expected and out of the whole thing 2 or 3 is not bad. I recommend this series to anyone who wants to get in to anime but would prefer to avoid the adult themes and violence prevalent in so many titles. And, for those who just want to watch a great show. ^_^

Summary: Best Cartoon Of The Century
Comment: I am in my late 20's, married with 3 kids and we all watch it. Every night we all sit down and watch it together. It is a great cartoon. I bought every episode on dvd. They don't make cartoons like they use to. Voltron, Thunder Cats, He Man, Transformers, Might Max, ect. were the good cartoons. Now they got cartoons that don't make any sense like Sponge Bob, Jimmy Neutron, Courage the Cowardly Dog, ect. You have to stay up late to watch a decent cartoon nowadays. Anime are whats in and are the best to watch.

Summary: This Series Rocks!
Comment: Recommended by a good friend, I quickly found Avatar: The Last Airbender to be a thrilling animated series which is much more than a kids cartoon. It has fundamental values, honor and integrity. Amazing action scenes, historical ancient chinese kung-fu and an excellent story-line.
The characters are funny, charismatic and even sometimes sad. Season 2 is even better than Season 1. Like a good book I could not get enough of this series. My 9 year old daughter is fond of it too. I would recommend it to anyone. Amazon's prices are great compared to local retail outlets. Thanks to all.

Summary: Adults will love it too. Educational and Mesmerizing!
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 an epic "reluctant hero quest" myth 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!
