Controversy over whether or not this is an anime aside this is one of the greatest animated shows in history. Listen, I grew up watching this on Nickelodeon waiting every week for a new episode, this show holds a special place for me and I cannot recommend it enough to others whether you are 12 or 60. It's an amazing story with amazing characters a beautiful soundtrack and if you wanna talk visuals... *cough* The final Agni Kai.
