I was introduced to an animated series titled "Avatar - The last airbender" by some of the guys here at CCN IT. It is not often that I find an animated series that I like beyond DC but I must say I really like avatar.
Avatar is a story based on a world in which there are 4 major nations named after elements FIRE, WIND, WATER, EARTH. Each nation has special individuals that can use a talent called 'bending' to manipulate their element.
Fire Elementals - throw fire, move it around, use lightening and other gosuish fire things
Wind - whirlwind, glide, speed
Water - Ice, water, sometimes healing
Earth - Gaara-ish moves
The Avatar is a special being that can use all 4 elements where as normal benders are limited to their national element, not by law but by genetics. (thus far I havn't seen anyone that can use more than 1 cept avatar). The avatar also has some gosu power moves, can communicate with the spirit world and is a nature lover kinda guy. The avatar is more of a soul than a person, as 1 avatar dies his soul is transfered to the next and through this he is somewhat immortal. The avatars job is the maintain order between the tribes, nations, and worlds. Oh and he has a big flying bison! Mooooo
Things go bad when the fire nation attacks the other nations and the avatar goes missing! The avatar was apparently frozen for 100yrs and found by 2 kids who later become his friends. He is very young (12yrs) and did not master water, earth, fire elements as yet. His quest is to master the arts, defeat the firelord and thus bring order to the world.
BORING!
The firelords son (Zuko) was banished (for reason revealed later) and can only redeem himself by returning with the avatar to his father. He is accompanied by his uncle a wize funny gosu general, a very kewl character. Everyone is trying to get a piece of the avatar for various reasons and this provides the 'chase' in the story.
STILL BORING!
The story starts off very noobish but as the story unfolds things get a bit deep.
The evil prince has a sad story, real struggles and alot of surprises. ALOT. You expect a badguy to be a badguy but Zuko is an interesting character esp when you learn his past.
The animation aint that bad as well, I see they use the newer styles with some of the models and give the fight scenes a really nice finish.
All the episodes are available on youtube in the following format
book 1 chapter 1
Where book is the season and chapter is the episode. 2 books with 22 eps each thus far.
Nick does it again!
