I wasn't sure to put this under this category or anime, but has anybody ever watched the show? No, I don't mean James Cameron's Avatar the movie The Last Airbender directed by M. Night Shyamalan that has ruined it for fans of the show as well as for other people (I refuse to acknowledge its existence), I mean the ORIGINAL tv show that has gained a cult following long before Cameron or Shyamalan ruined our fun. Also, is anyone piped for the Legend of Korra spin-off?

I am a huge fan of Avatar (and I agree about the last Airbender movie- I actually had to turn it off it was too painful!) I've seen all of the episodes about 3 times xD
Do you have a favourite character? I've always been a massive zuko fan ^^ I really can't wait for that new series! Have you seen the promo for it yet?

Yeah, I had a bit of a crush on Zuko as well during my teenage year (even dressed up as him on Halloween). I also like Toph because she kinda reminds me of my cynical humorous side and Iroh was BADASS!
Also, yes I have seen the promo.

Haha same! Wow I bet your costume looked amazing!
Lol Toph and Iroh are both brilliant (: Actually avatar is one of the few series where I can't really think of any characters I don't like.
What do you think of the promo? I think it looks interesting, I wonder when there will be a full trailer for it though...

Avatar was the first show I got emotionally attached to and followed through to the end. I'm oh so excited for The Legend of Korra, but my expectations are high... very high >:C
-coughs- Here's a fun little story for you all. When I was living in Ireland for about a year, I went on a mad dash to get my mom off the TV. The two hour premiere for the FINALE WAS AIRING. And she wanted to watch the finale to the season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". I searched the internet and yelled out the spoilers, begging her to let me watch my finale.
I won <3

My boyfriend loves that show. I can't stand it personally. I think it's boring

Awww it is a really good show! I became emotionally attached when watching it, if I finished an episode I had to watch the next one straight away! Yes, I'm really excited too but like you I've got high expectations as normally "sequels" are never as good as the original. I really hope I'm proved wrong though!
Bwahaha I bet your mum was not very happy with you for doing that, but at least it meant you got to watch the finale xD Maybe I'll try that tactic with my brothers if I want to watch something on tv haha
I don't blame you finding it boring aokoyui, I remember refusing to watch it at first because I thought it looked boring too.

Lol I love The Last Airbender, but, funny story, I never actually saw it on tv when it first aired. See, my mom used to have this belief that all anime was "violent junk" (don't blame her, she just had a bad first impression of it, and she's not very caught up with the times) so she used to make us change the channel whenever it came on. Then my aunt (who is awesome) got all three seasons on dvd for her birthday. So I borrowed them from her and literally watched the entirety of Avatar in about a week. And I fell in love with it.
Don't worry, my mom doesn't hate anime anymore, she's seen alot more now and has gotten a better impression of it, although she still thinks my crazy anime obsessions are weird.

Actually avatar is one of the few series where I can't really think of any characters I don't like. Well one character I wasn't too fond with was Katara; she gets a little too emotionally unstable, sometimes to the point where she just comes off as mean spirited. Granted, I've gained a little bit of sympathy for her over he years, but yeah, I'd suggest she drink some chamomile tea or something to relax those nerves of hers.

beccawolf16: I suppose technically avatar isn't really an anime as it's produced in the US, I kinda see it as one though due to the style xD I never watched it on tv either, I watched all of the episodes online (actually I did see part of an episode on tv and because I didn't know what was going on, I thought it was stupid lol!) That's a shame that your mum didn't let you watch it though I can see why she thought that, there are a lot of animes which are really violent (I hear elfen lied is really bad-not seen it though *shudders*) Wow that's awesome that your aunt got them on dvd hehe Yep I watched all the episodes in a week too xD Well that's certainly a relief to hear Haha I'm sure my parents would think the same thing about me if they knew lol albinotanuki: That's really interesting that you don't like Katara, I really like her myself, but I completely see what you mean. She does end up moaning quite a lot but I guess she is the "mother" of the group and isn't that what mothers do Haha I do think drinking chamomile tea is a good idea for her xD She should sit down with Iroh once in a while

Yeah, I don't hate her as much now as when the show was still on, but she can get pretty mean-spirited at times, which was what turned me off about her in the first place.
