Avatar The Last Air Bender


Synopsis
Long ago the four nations lived in armony.Aang, a 12-year-old Airbender of the Air Nomads' Southern Air Temple, learned from the elder monks that he was the Avatar. Usually, the Avatar is told of his or her true identity after turning sixteen; however, the monks feared that a war between the four nations was on the horizon and that soon the Avatar would be required to maintain balance and order in the world. While traveling over frigid southern ocean waters, a sudden storm caused Appa to plunge deep into the sea. Aang unconsciously entered the Avatar State, and used a combination of Airbending and Waterbending to protect Appa and himself. By creating an air bubble around them and then freezing it, Aang was able to ensure that he and Appa could breathe and be protected from the storm until it dissipated. However, the storm transferred the bubble very near the south pole and it could not thaw, forcing the two of them into a state of suspended animation.Two teenage siblings from the Southern Water Tribe — Katara, an inexperienced Waterbender, and her brother, Sokka, a warrior and caretaker of the tribe — discover and free Aang and Appa from the iceberg. Aang soon discovers to his horror that, during his absence, a century-long war has been waged.

Member Review
This Anime is actually really refreshing.
The greatest advantage this anime has is it's humor. That is because it's written and animated in the US. Although I'm a fan of any traditional Anime from Japan, this one beats most of them. The Storyline is well thought through and the power the main protagonists gain seem sound.

The second greatest advantage is the just mentioned power-level of all characters. They actually have to practice and train for the powers to "level up", not just hear "someone needs you, blablah" and then go crash any adversary ten times stronger. And if someone gets beaten down, the person stays down and doesn't mircaulously get up again a million times stronger than before.

So any fans of "reason" and humor (be it sarcastic:Toph or just plain silly:Sokka) this anime is so far the best (next to One Piece(except the getting up and being stronger thing...)
