It takes inspiration from Buddhist, Inuit, Western, Japanese and Korean cultures to deliver it's unique world, as well as many original and creative elements in conjunction with the more recognisable real world concepts. The show's epic mythos is also very strong, and demands to be deepened and added to (thankfully Korra is doing just that). Not only is the animation stunning, it is also staggeringly versatile. Aside from sweeping and moving visuals, Avatar also offers fast paced and unbelievably well choreographed action scenes (once again, second to none) and well timed slapstick comedy. The scope, creativity and energy of the shows animation is second to no other show, and it's balance of colour is never anything less than sublime. I believe I am justified in believing that such stellar production values will never again be pared with this level of artistic imagination again, at least not in my lifetime. Next I will cover the show's borderline legendary animation.

All characters are exquisitely written and voice acted, with not a badly portrayed among them. They offer comedic levity, new forms of drama and help to add to the deep mythological and philosophical backbone of the show. Aside from the primary cast, many intriguing and varied side characters appear throughout the adventure. From family related guilt and angst, identity dilemmas and the characters constant, overarching and looming quest, the characters are pressed with many trials which actually truly change them over the course of their magnificent journey.

The show contains several unique and beautifully detailed characters among its main cast, all of whom are given consistent and engaging development throughout.

Avatar tells a complete a perfectly paced epic plot over the course of 61 22 minute episodes. Night Shyamalan, as it is a disrespectful sham that mocks everything that the show stood for and mastered.So as for the show itself, where to begin? Well let's start with the story overall. I implore people to avoid the disgusting live-action adaptation by director M. I adore this show with every fibre of my being, and view it to be a piece of animated perfection.
