Avatar: The Last Airbender

Though this series pales in comparison to many anime series, in my opinion it also beats many anime series. Of course that's just a personal preference issue.

But yeah. For an American Nick cartoon, I rather enjoy it. I'm glad to see the creators took a lot of inspiration from anime and Asian culture influences. The elemental approach I feel at times has been under-utilized, but hey, imagination always trumps artistic creation right? But the elemental concept is pretty cool. There's some teen angst stuff I think the series would have been better without, but hey, the main characters are in fact kids, so it's understandable. In fact it puts an interesting spin on things.

In all, this show might be somewhat reminiscent of the Jackie Chan's Adventures show. Slightly more serious, but still with plenty of funny and goofy moments.

I'd recommend a look. It's surely better than a lot of the crap out there.


Who's your favorite character? I'm not too sure about myself, but for now I'd have to say Azula.

i've watched this show a few times, but never could get the schedule down. so... i missed episodes and never really knew what was going on. from the few episodes i did see, i liked it. one of the better american cartoons on tv these days... at least from what i saw.

I would agree. I think there are several gems of American cartoons out there but by and large I'd say the quality is not so great...

I definitely miss shows like Centurions. That was one baller American cartoon.

Hell yeah, I loved centurions. Thing is, you can't find it anywhere now. I've looked online for legit and illegit downloads and can't find it, blockbuster and netflix don't supply it, I swear it never existed, and we just imagined it If anyone knows where I can find the episodes, let me know, I miss that show

Of course, with all the good old shows coming back, maybe there's hope for cartoons too? I mean, night rider and american gladiators are both coming back. If they brought it back though, I fear they'd go the 3-d route that has wrecked so many other series (imo) like voltron, gi-joe, etc.

i have not seen the show... so i don't know if this description is the correct one you're talking about... but figured i'd try to help out

behold, Centurions

Avatar was a quite interesting show for not being japanese anime. I honestly enjoyed what i've seen, and do like their concepts of being able to control one element. I think it would be cool to have an rpg like that :)

Someone should run an Avatar RPG or something. =D

we already have enough RPG's on this forum >.<

Lol, you never have enough rpg's I figure we need 7, that way at least one will post every day ;P

And, yes, that was the show alex, thx. I know what I'm gonna be doing this weekend.

hooray!

hmmm, i'll have to add that to my business cards.

This means only one thing - that we need more of our friends and new friends on these forums to expand in games and player base. =P

So, dumb question, how do you watch the torrent file? Where do I get a torrent player?

Azureus is the bittorrent client that I use to download the files. What will happen is that you'll download the torrent file, then open it with your bittorrent client. That client will then download (essentially p2p) the actual file you're trying to get. Once that is complete, then you'll be able to watch the video (in this case) with windows media player (WMP) or whatever. If you have trouble viewing it with WMP, try searching for and downloading VLC Media Player.

A couple of important notes for Azureus - make sure to go into the options and set your upload transfer rate to some lower number (somewhere between 5 and 50 kbps). If you leave it at unlimited it will seriously hinder your computer because that is generally the limiting factor (you can leave your download at unlimited rate). Also, you can tell it to not download specific files within the torrent. For example, if you don't want it to download episode 4 just right click and set the importance to 'do not download'. Along these lines, you can also tell it which files are more important by right clicking and setting the importance to 'high'.

any other questions? let me know i can try to help out.

it's good and bad. there have been times that i wanted the multi-quote, but it also leads to really obese posts with only one new line. also, these smilies are ridiculous
