So, my 8yo son and I started watching Avatar: The last air bender about 2 1/2years ago when it first started. It is a really cool concept and amazingly well done.

Long story short I now DL every eppisode on itunes and am in withdrwals due to no new eppisodes in about 4 months!

Am I crazy or do some of you enjoy this show just as much as i do?

you're crazy

Waiting for the return of the vehicle force Voltron....

you're crazy

Whew! I'm glad THATs settled :lol:

With the popularization of Anime in the western world, the plots of cartoons have been getting more complex lately. I've never seen Avatar much myself but I totally get it.

It's ok, I enjoy it as well. I used to watch anime in college, and was actually surprised that this American cartoon is just as intricate as Japanese anime. I'm not as bummed as you are (since I don't typically watch that much of anything), but I totally understand. Avatar is a great cartoon. I just wish Ang was less of a brat (even though it's part of his character development, it annoys me). Water-bending rules... I'm just waiting until she kills people with their own blood (similar to the main antagonist in Speed Grapher).

damn straight I'm a dork.

At least you know what your kids are watching....

But it leaves lasting scars : can you sing all the words to the Mighty Mouse theme song?????

Too true! lol

I think alot of this also comes from a real lack of decent cartoons on TV now-a-days too. I'm about to start buying box set DVDs of the old school cartoons and shut off alot of the spongebob and grim adventures of billy and mandy crap.

And sleeperrx8: blood bending ftw! Darth Vader's got nothing on that:lol2:

Whatever happened to schoolhouse rock? Now that was a great cartoon show.

LMAO, I'm not saying I don't watch/enjoy this one inparticular. It's just tough to see where there are any RL lessons built in :lol2:

Thundercats...thundercats...thundercats....HOOOOO! !!!!

From the rocket fields of the academy
To the far flung stars of outer space
We are Space Cadets training to be
Ready for dangers we may face

Up in the sky
Whisseling fast
Higher than high
Faster than fast
Look in the sky
See her go

And we are the Space Cadets
And we will always say
"Like a cosmic ray, we light the way"
To inter-planetary peace!

Tom Corbet Space Cadet - Cica 1950...
does any one even remember that one? I think it was the first sci-fi program broadcast on TV

Whatever you do, don't start watching Naruto. That anime is like crack for kids.

My roommate (23) watches Naruto all the time. I've thought about watching it myself, but I'm too lazy to find some way to gather up all the episodes.

Got bored with Naturo, liked Dragon Ball Z, amazed by Death Note, and sad when they stopped showing Blood Plus. TriBlood also really different!

You watch Anime Winfree?! :lol: Sweet.

When I get up for work, Adult Swim is usually still on. Now I find it hard going to work without my fix of InuYasha.

I am into sequential art - and often it gives insights into culture. There was a series called Sweet Dreams that introduced all sorts of Japanese holidays and folk activities - like throwing beans to drive out devils. Also puns on a word that mean's either Cherry or Mad Priest.

Carried Away By The Spirits was also delightful - including all the costumed creatures that visited the bath house - I liked the one that was just covered with a blanket with signs pinned to it, and a bucket on top. These must have been things from the artist's childhood.

The horse-radish spirit was also good. But there were insights that only come from observation, like how a frog floats when it is in shock, and how the land and water merge when viewed from a train after a flood.

The French has also produced some fun ones, like the Twelve Labors of Asterix where the most terrible place an Roman could invent is the office building where people are driven mad by the red tape required to obtain a form needed to obtain a permit to get another form! And the French revenge is telling them they need to update their system!
