Another theme is one of acceptance, both of others and one's own self, seen in the flashback sequences when Aang is treated differently after it is revealed he is the Avatar. There's even a theme of jealousy going on in the first couple episodes, as Katara's jealousy of Aang and his ability to grasp bending (the term used for manipulating elements through a series of complex movements) techniques easily gets them into trouble and her brother's apparent jealousy of Jet puts the siblings at odds. The first is that 'nothing is what it seems', and viewers learn through our heroes that bad guys aren't so bad, good guys aren't so good (a theme commonly found in Gundam) and how a possible misunderstanding can lead to a decades-old feud. The episodes on this disc seem to have a couple of running themes going on, no doubt intended to teach the kiddies some life lessons. You'll have to start at the beginning, since there is a continuing storyline that goes from one episode to the next (even if each one is self-contained), though once you get into it it could be one to enjoy, particularly for fantasy fans. It is geared towards the younger crowd, given that it originally aired on Nickelodeon, though it is of a more serious tone that even older, more serious anime fans might enjoy it if they decide to give it a shot. This is one of the better ones, and it actually isn't all that bad to watch. There have been a lot of anime-style shows to come out lately, from Totally Spies to W.I.T.C.H.

And Aang faces his past and the events that led to his disappearance 100 years ago, at the same time as Prince Zuko's men learn of Zuko's own past and what led to his dishonor and his obsession with capturing the Avatar.

Then, they meet up with a band of young rebels whose charming leader, Jet, is not who he seems to be.Ī journey across a great canyon tests them further when they help two refugee tribes whose differences have them at constant odds. First, the gang runs afoul of some pirates when Katara steals a Waterbending scroll for her and Aang to learn from, and her competitive nature could get them captured. Aang, the last Airbender, continues his quest as the Avatar, searching the powers and techniques he needs to master the other elements and stop the Fire Nation from conquering the world - if he and his friends, Waterbender-in-training Katara and her warrior brother Sokka, don't keep getting distracted along the way, that is.
