Product Description
First volume from the first series of the popular American animated series made in the style of original Japanese anime. Avatar: The Last Airbender takes place in a fantasy world, home to humans, fantastic animals, and supernatural spirits. Human civilization is divided into four nations, the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Air Nomads, and the Fire Nation. Within each nation, an order of men and women called 'Benders' have the ability to manipulate their native element. These Bending arts combine a certain style of martial arts and elemental mysticism. The series follows the adventures of the successor to a long line of Avatars, Aang, and his friends in their quest to save the world from the ruthless Fire Nation.

Ok, well let me start by saying that I'm 20 and I absolutely love this show to bits. That's right, I'm a mature(ish), socially active, employed, complete with a life, friends, dates and family adult - and I love this cartoon.
It's a shame that many people judge a show before they've actually taken the time to watch it. A cartoon can quickly and wrongly be labelled as a 'kids show,' and that just isn't fair.
Avatar is wonderful. The plot is consistently good and moves along at a nice speed, the animation is fantastic and the characters are well-developed and easy to relate to which really gets the viewer behind their quest.
Read the basic plot and yes, I'll admit, it doesn't sound terribly original what with the slightly reluctant hero, the strong female presence (whoop Katara!) and the comic relief dude who is always the one to get hit by something. But I promise watch an episode and you will be enlightend.
Avatar just makes me feel happy. It's like watching a Disney film - instant child-like glee :D Such is the way with Avatar. It takes you through a whirlwind of emotions but in the end you're smiling and wanting to watch the next episode.
So give it a shot and enjoy yourself. Age is not an issue with this wonderful little show :) (Oh and if you do find you really like it, you could always grab yourself a cheap multi-regional DVD player and get the American Season 1 boxset. It's a better deal in the end and will most likely take forever to be released in the UK.)

I originally caught this show while I was channel surfing on a Saturday morning and I was hooked strait away. The show follows the Avatar, a powerful reincarnated being, travel the world learning how to manipulate (bend) the elements to defeat the warlike Fire Nation and return balance to the world. Not only must Aang find people willing to tutor him in the various elemental powers but he is also being chased by the disgraced prince Zuko. The four episodes of this volume give a good representation of the series, introducing the characters well and giving a good account of the world and history that the show is set in. The series has some great action and a good, if not terribly original plot, should be enjoyable by both adults and children. As a side note, although not strictly anime the show is clearly heavily influenced by it and anime fans will most probably enjoy Avatar as well.

This Avatar series is a great series for children, boys and girls. It follows the fortunes of the Avatar and his new friends as they try to save the world and defeat evil. The recent film doesn't do this series justice.
