This is a show on Nick of all things, and it's caught my interest. I downloaded the first season recently and I must say this show is really quite suberbly done. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed an american cartoon so much.
it's done much like an anime, or atleast it reminds me of Anime. However it's american and we take pride in our framerate. So the fighting scenes are pure eyecandy.
voice acting is simply medicore. Not good, not bad.
Anyone else seen it?

Premis:
Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in a fantasy world on a planet that is home to humans, fantastic animals and supernatural spirits. Human civilization is divided into four pre-industrialized nations: the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. Within each nation, there is an order of men and women called "Benders" who have an inborn ability of learning to manipulate their native element. Bending is a powerful artform, combining martial arts and elemental mystics. The bending arts are waterbending, earthbending, firebending and airbending.
In each generation, one Bender is capable of bending all four elements; this is the Avatar, the Spirit of the Planet manifested in the form of man or woman. When an Avatar dies, the Avatar Spirit reincarnates into an unborn baby of a mother native to the next nation in the Avatar Cycle. Starting with the mastery of his native element, the Avatar learns to bend all four elements in the order of the cycle, which parallels the seasons: winter for water, spring for earth, summer for fire and fall for air. Throughout the ages, countless incarnations of the Avatar have served to keep the four nations in balance and harmony. [3] The Avatar also serves as the bridge between the physical world and the Spirit World, home of the world's disembodied spirits.
