Title: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Rating: 9/10
No.of Seasons: 3
Status: Complete

The predecessor to a train wreck of a movie. Avatar is the animated series which led to M.Night Shaymalan making a live action adaptation of it and hereby directing the worst movie in the history of cinema. As bad as the movie was, This animated series is probably one of the best ever.
Set in a fictional world, Where some people have the ability to control or "Bend" any of the four elements. Which are Water, Earth, Fire and Air, Such people are called "Benders". Once in a generation a person is born who has the ability to control all of the four elements, That person is called the Avatar. It is the Avatar's duty to maintain peace and order in the world.
Siblings, Katara and Sokka discover a frozen boy in an iceberg named Aang, Who turns out to be the Avatar who vanished a hundred year's ago. As Aang is the Avatar it is his duty to master all four elements and stop the Fire Nation from taking over the world. Hot on Aang's trail is Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation and his uncle Iroh. Zuko was banished by his father and the only way he can return home is if he captures the Avatar. As Aang sets out with Katara and Sokka to master all four elements, He is pursued by Zuko across the globe as well as many others too.
Many people might expect an Animated Series to be a bit puerile but Avatar: The Last Airbender is considered to be the "Anime of the West" and it is widely watched by adults.
Filled to the brim with light hearted moments and comedy that will make you laugh till your stomach hurts.

If you dont love this smile, You have no soul.

Perhaps the best thing about Avatar is that it contains deep messages about life in many episodes. Also some episodes like "The Tales of Ba Sing Se" will make you cry like the floodgates have been opened. Avatar also gives the message that bad people are often capable of change and that light is often found in the darkest of places.
I would definitely reccomend watching Avatar with the exception of the movie.
