Avatar the last airbender came out in the year 2005 and ended in the year 2008. With 3 Seasons in all and 20 episodes each with the exception of season 3, the last airbender is captivating and would have you laughing and smiling and at the same time on your toes eager for the next episode to find out what is going to happen next.

The story focuses on the 4 main nations of the world, these nations are like tribes and have specific culture and gifts of bendings of the four main elements thus water, fire, air and earth. The story looks at the rise of a young avatar (an avatar is one who has the power to control all four elements at the same time, there is only one in every ) who was trapped in an iceberg for a 100 years and got lucky to be released by a young girl name katara who was on fishing expedition with his brother sokka.

These three become close friends immediately and go on an adventure to learn the bending skills across the various nations whiles battling the fire nation who had taken over the world enslaving every tribe they conquer. As the Avatar his duty then was to maintain a balance amongst the tribes and so had to put a stop to the fire nation movement. The trio is pursued by the banished prick zuko of the fire nation as he seeks to capture the avatar to restore his honor.

The twist keeps going on and on and the trio gets joined by a third who teaches the avatar earthbending, a protege blind girl named tough. Zuko eventually becomes a part of the avatar team as he realizes the bad of the fire nation and help battle his own father to save the world. Azula Zuko's sister then becomes the new enemy to pursue the avatar team until the final battle where the fire nation is over powered on their most powerful day with the help of the elders of the white lotus and the friends they make on their journey.
