I am finishing up this series for the second time and it really holds up. If anyone has not seen this series you are really missing out. It is strongly character driven and everyone has their favorite..and its not always the same person.
This series shows what quality animation can come out of america. The animation is better then many anime I have seen in recent years, but this isn't even its strongest point. IMHO the strongest point is in the writing. Many elements and character studies are presented in Avatar and they are all done well. Heck even Momo and Appa the animal companions have their moments in the series.
The comedy is welll done and the hints dropped along the way for stories always come back later. I guess what I am trying to say is; if you are an anime fan, give this series a shot...you won't regret it.

For those of you who are already on board:
The next thing we can look forward to are the M. Night Shyamalan live action movies. That being said I hope the creators do much more. There are so many stories to be told still. Such as Zuko's mother, The earth king traveling the lands with his bear, the White Lotus society. Not to mention that Aang has a lot more to do as avatar. Even then many prequels can be made about previous avatars--which I think would be great.
Oh and just so I feel like I added something to this thread constructive....do you know about the
Avatar Chibi Shorts?
