Being the first anime I actually watched (I know this is American but I suppose it still counts)I was a little uncertain whether this was going to be as good as the IMDb score suggested, little did I know that this would come to be my favourite animated series in a couple of weeks. After watching the first 2 episodes I still wasn't sure whether or not this series had potential, I guess the problem was I was too eager to watch cool bending fights unfold, since now that I re-watched the series this episodes serve as pretty good introduction.But, when I finished episode 3 I knew; from that point on,that this series had it in him.

The series's narrative has been worshiped by critics and viewers alike; myself included, it feels consistent, partialy because every season shares the same story but because every episode is entertaining and pretty great overall. The characters are very well written, displaying various dimensions of their personality and present realistic emotions/ feelings that can relate to any human being despite living in a different context

The animation style is gorgeous, making element bending look even cooler than what the concept sounds like (seriously, trust me on this one), slashes of water and bolts of fire dance harmoniously during fights, clashing vibrantly in a splash of coulours.

After I finished every last episode there is, I couldn't help but feel hollow and found it hard to go back to viewing regular animation with my younger brother after spending so much time watching quality animation.

I feel like I've bickered long enough about how amazing the series is so i'll just say this: to whoever feels a little skeptical about this series because it's "fake anime" or a kid's show; don't hold back, it delivers much more than what it seems, and in my eyes, this series is just as good a kid's show than a regular TV show.
