For the uninitiated, definitely worth your time... August 19, 2008
After reading many of the other comments posted, it is hard to add much of value, but I love the show so much, I couldn't help myself. In our house, it was must see tv. If you are unfamiliar with the show, you would definitely be best served to watch the first two seasons in advance. This way you would benefit from the back story. The production values and character development are first rate. Great background music and dialogue as well. This season is like the previous two in that not every episode is perfect (or will appeal to everyone), but that said, a "weak" episode of Avatar is better than most shows on tv (This is similar to how people rate Miyazaki movies that aren't their faves.). I found this book of the series to be both wonderful and sad. I loved how they tied most of the loose ends up, but was sad to see the series end. Lastly, if you get/rent/view this book for the first time and like the characters, etc., you need to dedicate time to watch the last four episodes together. I guarantee that you won't be happy if you don't. Heck, you'll probably just blow off whatever it was you were planning on doing anyway to continue watching. It really is that captivating. I hope that Shama-lama-ding-dong can do this great series justice when he does the live action movie.
Another Avatar collection August 18, 2008
This is another excellent installment in the Avatar series. Only complaint I have it that this is the last one. Very well done and no way I could have predicted how it would turn out.
avatar - a wonderful show, sorry to say goodbye August 16, 2008
As the other reviewers, I really loved Avatar. I'm sorry to see it end. I'm an older adult, and feel that this show is very much for adults and children both. I especially liked the very last scene between Aang and Katara, and the last series of battle scenes were incredible in their complexity, "beauty", and form. I wish that this show could continue in some incarnation, but I suppose that this will not be. I guess that I always was hoping against hope that more airbenders would be found, or that we'd find out what happened to Zuko's mother. Too bad that they could not go off on another adventure, with Aang as a full avatar. I'm glad that I will be able to buy this complete set for the third year, and look forward to all the extras. I found the plots to be engaging, intelligent, wonderfully animated, and well acted with good voice talent. I feel that this show really cared about quality, that they really tried, and they succeeded, and that we all benefited. What a delight.
Good times August 12, 2008
I cannot say enough great things about this series. It gives me hope and warms my heart and I am sad to see it go.
Best show on Nickelodeon. Period. August 10, 2008
As with any great book or movie series it is sad to see it end. But at the same time it leaves me with a sense of satisfaction because this final season lives up to the lofty expectations created by its two predecessors.
I'm not much of an anime fan, and even less of a Nickelodeon fan so when my brother put this show on I payed half attention, sure it would be just another adventure in sixth grade naivete. But before the episode was half over i was hooked. I couldn't help it and to this day I still don't know exactly why. The show is simply good. The strong plot is supported by strong great animation and nearly every episode leaves you wanting more.
That all concerns the series in general, and as I said the third season does not disappoint. It picks up right where the second season left off and jumps right in. For this reason I cannot recommend season 1 & 2 strongly enough. Season three is well organized and moves quickly. Best of all was the final episode (or four episodes) which features the most spectacular battles of the entire series.
As with all seasons, this third and final one IS interspersed with minor plot points that range from unsophisticated to downright dumb. But like I said they are minor and will not detract from the overall experience. Sokka, as always, leaves me laughing with his antics. Only reading these reviews will not allow you to fully understand why we all give it five stars. Anyone of any age should give this a try. Whether you rent it buy it or borrow it does not matter because the majority of you will be coming back for more. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
