EPIC fantasy I don't care for anime(gasp) mainly because every 5 min or so you're watching a still for 30 seconds and the voice overs sounds like novices are doing it.Avatar however is one of the finest examples of the genre.I know it's an American cartoon but look at the credits almost all of the animators are from Japan. Aang is the Avatar a powerful being with the ability to control all of the elements. Earth, air, water, and fire who has been trapped in a block of ice for a century. In that time the Fire Nation has been waging a relentless war against the other nations in a bid to control the world.Aang and his friends Kitara,Sokka,Toph,Momo and Apa must stop the Fire Lord from this conquest,but first Aang must master the other 3 elements before he can challenge the Fire Lord.What follows is 3 seasons of great storytelling,great action,comedy,drama and animation which just gets better as the series progresses. There is a little something for everyone in this. A cartoon with depth and intelligence you must see it.
