Avatar: The Last Airbender (TV series)

I have the pleasure of watching Netflix due to two of my friends giving me their account passwords. Thanks for letting me freeload! I always heard this tv series was amazing but I never gave it the chance. It started in 2005 on Nickelodeon and they even created a second series called Legend of Korra. Can't wait to start watching that! Even though this is a kid's show, and I am 23 years old, I simply couldn't resist it! I have been a fan of anime since middle school and haven't watched Japanese cartoons in awhile. The three seasons of episodes left you wanting to watch more... continuously, nonstop.

Avatar teaches lessons of friendship, courage, and love. Children will gain significant wisdom from this show. I even enjoyed the life lessons during each episode. :) It made me sad when the series ended. I felt like I was growing with the characters and going on the journey with them! That's when you know a show is good; when you feel apart of it. The season finale was about an hour and a half long, and was filled with suspense as Aang faced the evil Fire Lord Ozai.

Quotes: 
"You must never give in to despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength."
- Iroh to Zuko

"The greatest illuson of this world is the illusion of separation. Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same. We are all one people, but we live as if divided."
- Guru Pathik

"Destiny? What would a boy know of destiny? If a fish lives its whole life in this river, does he know the river's destiny? No! Only that it runs on and on out of his control. He may follow where it flows, but he cannot see the end. He cannot imagine the ocean."
Jeong Jeong


"
You think you're any different from me, or your friends, or this tree? If you listen hard enough, you can hear every living thing breathing together. You can feel everything growing. We're all living together, even if most folks don't act like it. We all have the same roots, and we are all branches of the same tree.

- Huu

Perfection and power are overrated. I think you were very wise to choose happiness and love.

Iroh to Aang
