Anime is a form of animation created in Japan, which explains why it used to be called Japanimation. Anime’s history began at the start of the 20th century, when when Japanese filmmakers began trying out new animation techniques that were being used in the Western world. Anime did not reach mainstream status until the 1980s. Since then, it has blown up not only in Japan, but around the globe.

Most anime series find their foundations in manga, or Japanese comics. These mangas are usually a few episodes ahead of the actual television series and have become popular among international audiences as well.

5 Stars my review
I am an Avatar fan and I really loved this DVD.

This completes my collection and is definitely the best among all 3 seasons.

3 Stars Avatar Book 3
the series is really good if you see the last 2 book this one is great the final episode is good but not expectacular.

the main problem whit this book is the lenguages setup, the first 2 book give you 3 audio options: English, French and Spanish, this book is only en English and French, too bad becouse the voices in Spanish are really good.

5 Stars Amazing cartoon novel
What is most amazing in Avatar – The Last Airbender, is its consistency. It is a cartoon novel that worries about the consistency of every detail and evolution of each character. The Book 3 Collection is just the continuation of a great adventure of the previous books without loosing the nice sense of humor, intelligence and the beauty and nuances of the characters, even the evil ones.

4 Stars Great show
This is a great show. Although I would have personally taken a slightly different approach with the story, as for a kids story that covers allot of topics, it was done very well. This makes for an excellent family night activity. As great a show as this is, I recommend that it be viewed after watching the first two books.

5 Stars Simply epic
This, in my opinion, is the best season of the show. There is more action, more humor, even better animation than before (if that’s possible), and…well, the war between the Aang/Katara and Zuko/Katara fans was never more evident than during this season. Mike and Bryan (the creators) do love to tease us.

Another thing is that Zuko and Suki join the Gaang, adding another dimension to the show. Having Zuko, who began as an antagonist and ended up as an anti-hero by the start of Book 3, make such a bold statement against his father is one of the highlights of the whole show. It’s realistically done, with Katara unwilling to trust him at first and friction within the group as a result. (Suki, meanwhile, slips in without a problem just before the finale, because everyone loves Suki.)

Some fans might say that to close out the finale (which is the best finale I’ve ever seen for any television show, period) with a romantic moment between Aang and Katara was too cliche and went against the tone of the show, but I don’t think so. After all, the show began with him waking up in her arms – it’s only right and proper that it end with them, the two most important characters, finally coming to terms with the fact that their relationship has changed into to something more.

In closing, I will say this: You might think that this is “a kids’ show” just because it’s broadcast on Nickelodeon and is animated. You couldn’t do yourself a bigger favor than to cast off those assumptions and treat yourself to this incredible show, which is more intelligent and well-done than most of the adult shows nowadays.
