An all-time favorite show and must-watch.

I fell in love with this show when I was a kid, and now an adult I feel the same love, but with more appreciation.

When we're children we get to live in a world that is somehow only made up of people our age-we act like the only other people we need are our friends. Of course, this isn't true, but it's a beautiful sentiment, and one that is extrapolated excellently by the creators and writer of The Last Airbender.

Continuing on with this theme, the show makes approachable many different problems that touch on both coming of age in general, as well as growing up in a world at war. The gang of protagonist characters deal with crushes as well as refugee camps and are faced not only with the need to make decisions, but also the consequences of their actions.

At the very beginning of Season 1, we meet protagonist Aang who must confront the consequences of his actions, and the antagonist, Zuko, who believes that he must achieve his destiny. These two serve as character foils throughout the series, serving as another great mechanism to approach the pains of growing up.

On a different note, the animation and world-building are incredible. The planet that the show is set on, and the natural rules governing it, largely differ from our own, but are quite recognizable. Moreover, the show and its fantastic creatures are beautiful, creative, and stay with the audience even after turning off the TV.
