So glad I randomly picked up that little comic book in Rite Aid back in 2006 that had Aang on the cover with his friends. I had no idea what the show was, I didn't even know it was a show. After reading up I realized that the show's first season was already out and some of the dvd's were at Blockbuster. I watched the first episode "The Boy in the Iceberg" and was HOOKED!!! The storytelling, the martial arts, the characters, music, and colors were entrancing. It was so good it inspired my venture into animation production. And later it's incredible sequel further fueled my passion to create an incredible world of my own in which I hope to share one day. This show demonstrates the power of pure friendships, the effects discrimination carries based off war-torn societies, facing your fears, and finding your own destiny. A very special show indeed. There is nothing quite like it in Western Animation but Korra of course. But each show stands on it's own pedestal.
