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 Avatar: The Last Airbender 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.

Get the avatar: the last airbender mug.An American animation show (not anime, like everyone seems to think) on Nickelodeon. Generally considered to be one of the better (if not best) efforts from any American production studio currently. Storyline involves the standard kids-saving-the-world shtick, with more than a few interesting twists on an old formula.

Get the avatar: the last airbender mug.A very good American-style Animation, NOT ANIME, on TV right now. In my opinion, one of the best animated shows around. About a kid, named Aang, who can "bend" or control Air. Set in a world where control of the 4 elements Air, Water, Fire, and Earth is commonplace. A very good show, but sometimes its a little predictible, i would give it a 8/10.
