I didn't grow up watching "Avatar: The Last Airbender". Before the premiere of the abysmal movie I'd never even heard of the show. And it's not until now, at age 24, that I finally got around to buying the box set and watching the series in its entirety. And I am glad I did.

The series is far from perfect. The first nine episodes of the series is a real slog, and the first season is by far the weakest of the three. There are times along the way when the show stumbles, as though not quite sure of what it wants to be or who it's made for.

But looking back on it as a whole, it's a remarkable achievment. With a thrilling narrative, some of the greatest and most likeable characters ever put to the small screen, and production values to match, it's a must-see. Alongside "RWBY" it actually manages to be a fully-fledged anime despite being American. It's no "Fullmetal Alchemist", but then Hiromu Arakawa is possibly the greatest story-teller alive today.

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" is fantastic, and deserves your time, money and love.
