AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER..
Some of you guys or gals may know, avatar has replaced pokemon as my most favourite cartoon of all time. i really love the storyline and the plot...fatt or anyone else who intends to watch it, if you are reading this, stop reading this post any further..got spoilers. fell free to read the other posts however


So, let me explain what this epic cartoon is about.
The story mainly revolves around the protagonist, Aang who is the legendary Avatar. The Avatar is the spirit of the earth in human form. Whoever is the Avatar can control the 'elements' and 'bend'. Whenever an Avatar dies due to whatever reason, the Avatar is reborn thus continuing the cycle. The Avatar possess a defense mechanism known as the Avatar State. Even if the Avatar has not mastered all four elements, he/she still can gain access to the knowledge and powers of his/her previous lives. The Avatar State is an involuntary response, but can be activated at will by an experienced Avatar. The Avatar State makes an Avatar nigh invulnerable when using it. However, if an Avatar is killed while in the Avatar State, they will break the cycle of reincarnation.
In this story, the world is divided into four 'countries' - the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation and the Air Nomads. Each 'country have built their societies to revolve around their native element. Within each nation, there are people who have the natural ability the 'bend' their native element. They are called 'benders' - Waterbenders, Earthbenders, Firebenders and Airbenders. These 'countries' have cooexisted in harmony for an undetermined period of time. and everything is fine until the Fire Nation attacks the other countries. Only the Avatar is powerful enough to defeat the Fire Nation. But when the world needs him the most, he disappears. A hundred years have past and in the present, Katara, a key character and Aang's love interest, and her brother, Sokka, also a key character, discover Aang trapped inside and iceberg along with his pet flying bison Appa. They realize that he is an airbender, possibly the last(the Fire Nation wiped out the rest of the Air Nomads).Together they set out on their journey so that Aang can learn how to bend the other elements(Aang already knows how to bend air) and truly become the Avatar while being pursued by the banished Fire Nation prince Zuko. There are three seasons in total called books. The first book, Water, focuses on Aang's learning how to bend water. The end of book 1 is pretty impressive with the Fire Nation launching an invasion fleet on the Northern Water Tribe. In the end, Aang goes into the Avatar State and completely demolishes the entire Fire Nation fleet single-handedly, which is totally cool. In the second book, Earth, Aang finds a blind earthbending teacher named Toph. Although she may look like a small girl, dont scoff. Toph is probably the most powerful Earthbender ever. She even invents Metalbending. Although she is blind, she can still 'see' by sensing the vibrations in the earth around her..kinda like sonar except its through the earth rather than air. Book two ends with Aang suffering a fatal wound and almost dying. The final book, Fire, starts off with Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph and some old friends journeying through the Fire Nation on a stolen Fire Nation ship. Aang later leads a failed invasion on the Fire Nation. After the invasion, Zuko joins Aang and the group and serves as his Firebending teacher. The finale of book 3 is a compilation of four episodes intoa 'movie' named "Sozin's Comet". In this Aang finally defeats Fire Lord Ozai.

Hahaha. That sounded like an anti-climax. Nonono. haha. the real thing is really really cool.
I recommend this for all.

tata for now
