I have been a anime fan for a while now (started back in 02) and i must say i have seen quite a bit of anime.
Some of my favorites are (forgive spelling errors):
Ra Zephon
kimiganazomi eian
elfen liad
last exile.
eureka seven.
suffice it to say I have seen alota anime.. and alota good anime at that.
so my anime tastes are pretty refined.
Now to my main point. Out of curiosity one day i got ahold of the entire cartoon series avatar the last airbender.
and well i have to say after watching the entire series i was amazed.
granted the show is made for a lower age demographic so there is alota "toned" down type stuff.
But holy crap the story and content is very VERY good.
I was blown away by it.
Anyways. i was reading a bit of hate that users here have posted on these forums about the show. and i must say i think its pretty pathetic to hate on that show just because its not from japan.
to have that much hate for a show just because its american made and "resembles" anime. is just silly.
anyways i will say it. while avatar the last airbender is not an anime. it certainly has the heart of an anime
and I can pretty much promise if that show was ever made into a "real anime" by some japanese studio and had all the kiddy shit pulled out. most the folks who hated on it would shit themselves because it would be one of the greatest anime to ever exist.
So my apologies for this post i just hate it when people pick on something that for all intensive purposes does not deserve it in the slightest bit.
