In a lost age, the world is divided into four nations: the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. Within each nation, there is a remarkable order of men and women called the "benders" who can learn to harness their inborn talent and manipulate their native element. Bending is a powerful form combining martial art and elemental magic. In each generation, only one bender is solely capable of controlling all four elements. That bender is the Avatar. The Avatar is the spirit of the world manifested in human form. When the Avatar dies, it reincarnates into the next nation in the cycle. Starting with the mastery of his or her native element, the Avatar learns to bend all four elements. Throughout the ages, the countless incarnations of the Avatar have served to keep the four nations in harmony. Then, the Fire Nation launched a war against the other three nations. Just as the world needed the Avatar the most, he mysteriously vanished. A hundred years later, the Fire Nation is near final victory in its ruthless war of world domination. The Air Nomads were destroyed, the Air Temples ravished, and all airbender monks eradicated. The Water Tribes were raided and driven to the brink of extinction. The Earth Kingdom remains and fights a hopeless war against the Fire Nation. Many believe the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads and the cycle is broken. In the desolated South Pole, a lone Water tribe struggles to survive. It is here that the village's last remaining waterbender Katara and her warrior brother Sokka rescue a strange 12-year-old boy named Aang who has been suspended in hibernation in an iceberg. The Water tribe soon discovers that Aang is not only an Airbender--the extinct race no one has seen in a century--but also the long lost Avatar. Now Katara and Sokka must safeguard the child Avatar in his journey to master all four elements and save the world from the Fire Nation.

Season 1 is titled "Book One: Water", and Season 2 is titled "Book Two: Earth." Each of these seasons contains twenty "chapters." Season 3 is titled "Book Three: Fire", and contains 21 "chapters."

Opening Themes:

The Pilot:

Water.
Earth.
Fire.
Air.

My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days.
The time of peace.
When the Avatar kept balance between
Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads.
But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

Only the Avatar masters all four elements.
Only he can stop the ruthless firebenders.
But when the world needed him most,
He vanished.

One hundred years have passed,
and Fire Nation is nearing victory in the war.
Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation, leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe.

Some people believe that
the Avatar was never reborn into Air Nomads,
and that the circle is broken.

But I haven't lost hope.
I still believe that, somehow,
The Avatar will return to save the world.

Chapters 3+

Water.
Earth.
Fire.
Air.

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony,
But everything changed when the fire nation attacked.

Only the Avatar, the master of all four elements, could stop them.
But when the world needed him most, he vanished.

One hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang.

Although his airbending skills are great,
He has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone.
But I believe, Aang can save the world.

The show retains the same opening theme through the second and third season. All three opening themes are voiced by Mae Whitman as Katara.less «

  Ok here it is. The off topic lounge! If your feeling random, come here and post about it. There has been alot of randomness today so it gave me the idea. And if this gets locked, oh well. I think it was worth the try.

  An interesting show where a young, twelve-year-old boy gets a rude awakening(from being frozen for 100 years) in a time of war. Guided by loyal friends, he sets off to save the world from evil. hide « show »

  Avatar: The Last Airbender is truly one of the best shows that was created for Nick. It is not your normal cartoon, for two reasons. First of all, it is influenced from Asian and Martial Arts themes, a good refreshment from your standard Nick Show. Second, although a cartoon, it reached out to several beyond its intended demographic range, myself included. This show is not mindless humor, and the entire show has a plot. It is unlike others in which every episode can contradict a previous one. Each episode of Avatar is carefully made so that it builds on the previous one, and works toward the ultimate finale.
  It is a real shame this show was done after three seasons.
  The show focuses on character development, and the characters are incredibly real. You feel like you can relate to them. Each character is carefully made, even minor characters like the Cabbage Man. All the characters are memorable, and you would enjoy watching them.
  Finally, the show is a good balance of seriousness and fun. There are humorous moments and comic relief, yet also well handled adult themes like war, love, and sacrifice. It is a very enjoyable show that keeps its audience just waiting for the next adventure of Aang and the Gaang.
  Two thumbs up, and highly recommended.

  Easily one of the best show out there on TV today. hide « show »

  Avatar is easily one of the best shows out there on TV today. Mike and Bryan have managed to create a world that we all enjoy and that we all want to experience. I mean, the heavy Asian influence and the idea of people being able to control the four elements made the Avatar world a world that we all could fall in love with. The idea of a boy having to save the world from the fearsome Fire Nation was truly amazing to see and follow and all the characters are great, from Aang to Zuko. Avatar in general is one of the best shows out there.

  8.5 Great

  Water. Earth. Fire. Air... the 4 nations lived together in harmony... the Fire Nation attacked... the Avatar could stop them, but he vanished. A hundred years passed... discovered the new Avatar... he still has a lot to learn... Aang can save the world. hide « show »

  I'm not going to claim avatar has a great plot. Frankly, It sounds like an idea I would scrap for being unoriginal. The ending is spoiled before the show begins thanks to the less than subtle opening narration, and the "previously on avatar" clips at the beginning of every episode.
  
  The voice acting is great. The occasional bad joke lightens the mood and doesn't sound cheesy because its appropriate for the age of the main characters.
  
  The characters are relatable, inspiring, and well fleshed out.
  
  Avatar has got high quality animation, and great fight choreography. Particularly in the season finales where screen is tinted and and the show reaches its climax. Each season outdoing the previous one.
  
  Avatar may have started as Nick's anime rip-off but over time became something far more epic than most anime can hope to be.

  This show rocks!! hide « show »

  I've seen every single episode of Avatar; it's one of my favorite shows on Nick ever!! This show was pretty confusing in the beginning, with all the talk about war and junk, but it got really interesting was the show went on. My favorite characters are Toph and Sokka. Toph because, well, she's tought, witty, and doesn't go easy on anyone who gets in her way. She is the best person ever!!! I love her "i can do it myself" attitude. she really knows how to take care of herself. Sokka is so funny! But sometimes he can be lazy.

  Awesomeness! hide « show »

  I really do love this show, as I started watching it I got into it more and more, then I really liked it. I love any show that has the powers of like water and fire, and i really enjoyed the characters, they each had thier own special presonality. Sokka was pretty funny, and I like Katara, a great show where a girl is one of the main characters. Aang was good too. I thought it was good how Aang didnt just learn all four elements and then straight away went to fight the fire nation, but he had trouble on the way... which made the show good. Lol, I loved the show for what it was. xx
