Show: Avatar- The Last Airbender


This has always been a great one, but lately Avatar has been my favorite thing to watch on TV. It's an anime cartoon about a boy, Aang, who has to master the bending of all four elements to save the world (in a nutshell).
It's well drawn, not too Japanese, fairly realistic, there are times when they get "chibi" expressions. It has a great plot, something epic, depth of characters, and at points it's just laugh out loud funny (I've caught myself laughing far too loud at certain punchlines or expressions, and I'll be the only one in the room. ^_^)
My favorite character is Zuko, a fire-nation (enemy) prince with an ominous scar covering his left eye and side of the face. For a long time he is hunting the Avatar (Aang) and is a very angry, conflicted young man. And then as things go on, he has a good influence in his Uncle and he helps Aang learn to fire-bend, becoming the new fire-lord by the end of the season and he's a good guy. *yay*
There are a few seasons, and I haven't seen the whole thing through, but as I catch them on TV I love every one of them and can't wait to know the whole story.
Also, M. Night Shyamalan is making a movie (live action) of Avatar that looks pretty cool, but I am really biased towards liking the cartoon best. Obviously, you're entitled to your own opinion. I'll be watching it, but I'll be trying to watch all of my show as well. :D
