i have been watching for the past five years or so as nick shows slowly faded from my mind. nick was either playing old and boring shows (come on, after what is it, six years, sponge bob is getting old!) or coming out with some stupid new ones (i.e. my life as a teenage robot and the x's) anyway, i'm not at all an anime fan and nick is no longer my favorite station so when avatar came out, i pushed it aside because i thought it would be another gay show with no plot. well, one day when the first season was about over, i was helping my brother clean the TV room and he told me to watch this show that he had watched for the past week. so, i skeptically watched it and found out that i loved it. that summer, i started watching every episode from the first to last. i am still hooked and can not wait for the third season to start. my brother and i waited for every Friday to come just so we could watch this show! it is a must see for anyone, no matter what age!
