Avatar: The Last Airbender is a goofy, yet emotional show that aired on nickelodeon back in 2005 through 2008. It follows the adventures of Katara, Sokka, and Aang, who is the Avatar. |

This show has a very interesting story arc and great lore. It was a breath of fresh air from the domination of cartoons with one plot per episode at the time. In other words, you'd need to watch from the beginning if you wanted to understand the whole story. Like other cartoons with full story arcs, this show suffers from TOO MANY FILLERS. This definitely isn't a good thing, but they were able to prolong the series' airtime as a result of doing this.

The voice acting in this show is superb. The main characters were fantastic in portraying extreme feelings in emotional situations. Each of their voices fit their character. That's another thing that makes this series so amazing. It's the character diversity. Aang is an air bender who was frozen for nearly 100 years after escaping a genocide from the fire nation. Katara and Sokka come from the southern water tribe, and Toph Beifong comes from Gaoling in the Earth Temple. Finally, they meet Zuko from the fire nation. If I were to give you the background information on each of the four nations, I'd probably be able to go on forever. Each of the characters have their own stories, they're all from different places around the world, and the places they're from are rich in history as well. The Avatar universe just feels so large!

In the end, Avatar is just a stunning show that's cleverly written, diverse, and has an awesome cast of voice actors to play each role. This cartoon is such a stupendous example of how great western animation is. I give the show a 5/5 because of how phenomenal it was at the time up 'till today, and how it set such a high standard for the nickelodeon cartoons that came after it.
The show Avatar is by far one of my favorite cartoons ever. I agree with the show having a lot of filler episodes that just dragged the show to it's end as long as the writers could. Eventually, though it had to end sadly. The finale was amazing and I agree with the fact of amazing character acting and development and a large Avatar universe that gave the viewer a 6th sense about the show.
