Get the Airren mug.The best show ever broadcasted on Nickelodeon.
The show is often thought to be anime,because the art style,even though the art style is Korean.The show's story style is a mixture of asian cultres,mostly Chinese.
Basically,the story is about a world where people can "bend" the 4 elements which separates the land in 4 nations:
-Water Tribes
-Air Temples
-Earth Kingdom
-Fire Nation
They were all living together in harmony.
However,everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
Only the Avatar,who can bend all 4 elements could have defeated the Fire Nation.But when the world needed him most,he vanished.
Hundred years have passed since.
Two 14 year old brother and sister,Sokka and Katara,have found a massive iceberg,which creates a giant ray of light,when Katara cracks it open.(The light signals Zuko,a Fire Nation warrior who is in a search to find the Avatar.)
Inside they find a boy with a flying bison.The boy turns out to be an airbender.
After the three returns to the South Water Tribe,Katara and Aang go penguin-sleding,stumbling into a Fire Navy ship.
Upon going into the ship Aang realizes he has been frozen in the iceberg for 100 years (the entire war)Later Aang aciddentally activates a booby trap,which signals Zuko.Later,Zuko comes to the South Water Tribe and asks Aang if he is the avatar.Since there is no other airbenders,the question is obviously yes.
Katara,Sokka and Aang's flying bison Appa manage to heelp Aang escape.

Katara,Sokka and Aang's flying bison Appa manage to heelp Aang escape.
The rest of the show is about Katara and Sokka helping Aang to master all four elements to defeat the firelord.A lot of awesome characters are met,and some are added to the group.
TL;DR : The show is THE shit.It's one of the rare things that you can watch on Nick without getting a headache.It's totally worth watching and has a perfect storyline and a great mix between Romance,Action and Comedy.
Sadly it got ruined by a 2010 movie adaptation which includes horrible actors,horrible (the actors don't even match the characters)acting,whitewashing(the Fire Nation,who were the whitest in the movie,are indian,while Sokka and Katara ,who are a bit brown,are completely white).Also they missed an enormous ammount of Key-episodes,which are important to the later episodes (The sequel thankfully isn't going to be produced).Did I mention the production budget was 150 million dollars ,which is only 50 million less than Cameron's TITANIC!!!!!
"Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world."

A cartoon series on Nickelodeon done in the style of a Korean animation (which is similar to anime-style) and centered in an ancient Asain-like world. The plot centers around a 12-year-old boy (the "Avatar") who is on a quest to master all four elements (air, water, earth, and fire) and save the world from a war started by the maleficent Fire Nation.

Get the The Last Airbender mug.Don't mess with Aireen.
by someone who will kill "someone who hates you" February 27, 2005
Get the aireen mug.A sweet, high-achieving, talented, smart, refined, virtuous, BEAUTIFUL lady who all guys fall in love with at first sight and who insecure girls get envious of. Her fashion sense is impeccable. She has high standards and a strong moral character. Lose her trust and you will spend the rest of your life trying to earn it back. She sees through the disguise of posers and will fight for what is right. All that is good and noble flock to her. She walks with grace while surrounded by a faint ethereal glow, making you wonder if an angel is indeed in your midst.

Get the aireen mug.A:TLA is the last show on Nickelodeon that doesn't portray good and evil. Instead, the show portrays neutrality, flawed people, mistakes, and perspective. It was even stated on page 147 of the book written by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, Avatar: The Last Airbender - Art of the Animated Series.
Many "fans" are in unreasonable denial of this fact and continue to think A:TLA is simplistic.

"The fact that Hama was once friends with Katara's grandmother, Kanna, illustrated a core philosophy of the series: people aren't good or evil, but are either in balance or out of balance." - Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, Avatar: The Last Airbender - Art of the Animated Series, page 147.
