Avatar: The Last Airbender
3 seasons in 3 days and I am blown away.
I'd seen the pilot and one other episode back when it first aired, and it seemed nice enough, but I never quite got into it. I'm actually glad of that, because seeing the finished product as a unitary whole was extremely satisfying. It had some narrative heft to it that most cartoons lack...without going into the overblown angst and sturm-und-drang of some "adult" anime.
Also...once she gets going, Katara kicks ASS! Her fight scenes were always my favorite.
I really wish I could be more coherent, but I'm on a bit of an Avatar overload right now. I can say that, when I first saw the trailers for the live-action movie, I thought they looked promising...but having seen then entire series now, I cannot imagine how a movie, or even a series of movies, could do it justice.
