Well, is Avatar really considered as an anime because the fighting style they use resembles a relationship with chinese martial arts.
lnstinct
The benders actually do use chinese martial arts
earth - Hung Gar
water - Tai Chi
fire - Northern Shaolin
air - Ba Gua
Toph - Southern Praying Mantis

I'm not so sure about it being an anime tho, its by Nick. wiki : While Avatar is not considered an anime because of its primarily American style and writing, one review has commented that "Avatar blurs the line between anime and (US) domestic cartoons until it becomes irrelevant." Love the show tho, can't wait for Book 3~!!
ken-chan
Yes, I was wondering if it was really anime but I guess now I know. Well, I will still love it happy.gif
Asura
yes i considered Avatar an anime. Its really cool!!! I wish they'd start airing new eps soon

RAWR, i hate Azula soo much, she's always there to ruin everything. I really hope Zuko spazzes off and kills her (better yet, Aang and the gang).
Asura
hmm......i actually like Azula a bit. What i want to see is Zuko face off against his father
shadowmanZ
Season 3 starts in Feburary or March I heard. Do you think Zuko will be Aang's firebending tutor

Masterori

because of the temptaion from azula's offer probably
Asura
hmm....at first i thought Zuko would teach Aang firebending but now that he's with Azula maybe his grandfather Iro will

Eh... what's avatar?


its an animation by Nickalodeon (<<< ?), it has a great plot, good sense of humour at the right times, wonderful characters (and my friends and i argue sometimes if its better than most anime). its on youtube i think (it only has roughly....40 episodes so far). search in something like avatar 112 (book 1 ep 12)

What do you guys think about Ba-sing-sae now since it is taken over by the fire nation

it's gonna b real rough, the wall is pretty big, and (it was pretty messed up city at first anyway, but) since ba sing sae(?) is the capital of the earth kingdom, it can serve as a mass hostage kind of thing...there's so many troublesome things that can come out of it, its hard to explain in detail without writing a big, giant post ._.
shadowmanZ
Ba-sing-sae is doom, lets just say that
master_nz
I saw like one episode of this on tv and it was good. To bad i don't watch much tv.
lnstinct
i think youtube still has it, watch it on youtube >:]
shadowmanZ
Avatar is a must-watch
master_nz
But who really watching anime of youtube, i rather download it. If i am desperate i will watch it on youtube. I will get around to watching it after a finish all the others that i have to complete.
Asura
i almost never watch on youtube.....the only time is when i want to watch some AMV which i rarely do
master_nz
I don't think that i have even seen one AMV.
Asura
i wasn't talking about AMV about Avatar...just AMV in general
shadowmanZ
I barely watch anime on youtube, due to the fact the resolutions may be a bit tedious at times
master_nz
and that vids on youtube look bad and you don't get a copy of it, not that you would want something of such poor quality.
lnstinct
Its a setting when you post a video (friend told me), it makes the thing better quality but most ppl don't kno about it >.< you can always download the eps of course, but its fairly big ._. Either way, you can't watch it anyway, youtube took it off, along with most of the anime on the site @___@
WolfFangs
I consider it an anime, cuz the style's so similar, but I guess it's not really... xD can't wait for book 3 tho, book 2 had a horrible ending cliffy ><
Jossie
is this an anime? becoz i think it is and ppl say it isnt..
master_nz
I wouldn't know. Only seen like part of an episode on TV once.
eliechin
aahhh too bad Avatar wasn't considered as an anime...
thanks for the information lnstinct^^

LOL for some reason, a lot of guys likes Azula but girls mostly don't XDD

Hey, does anyone know if Avatar ended yet?
I haven't been catching up with it since I'm waiting book 3 dvd for sale
Orphelia
^ Yes it has ended probably a year ago or something (longer ago?). *can't remember clearly*

The next thing coming out will be the Avatar live action movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
eliechin

ahh~ I see... too bad it ended, I hope it had a good ending or it will make me gloomy for weeks T^T
