A few reviewers on here point out that although they dislike anime they like Avatar. That is very nice but Avatar is not an anime. Yes it is influenced by anime and eastern culture but that doesn't make it an anime. Anime are cartoons from Japan. However this is America's best attempt at emulating an anime. Most other American series that try to gain the anime audience think it is all about the style and the way the characters look. This couldn't be farther from truth. Most anime fans enjoy anime because of the complex characters and storylines.
As an anime fan I was expecting to dislike this series like I did with other American attempts to copy an anime style. However I was pleasantly surprised to find that Avatar hooked me from the beginning. Now that I am up-to-date with the American releases I can honestly say that this is one of the best American TV series I have ever seen, animated or not. It has loveable and complex characters, a fantastic continous plot, great action sequences, and an interesting setting. This show has renewed my faith in American animation.
Although this box-set is a little steep in price I think it is definitely worth it. I can't wait until the second season box set is released. As great as the first season is the second season is even better.

I could probably be described as the biggist anime hater in California, possibly in the United states. I can't stand it! And so I automatically discarded Avatar: The last airbender after seeing the art of the intro when it first came out, infact I already was feeling doubtful before that.
Then one october I turned on the T.V. and there was nothing on (howmany times has that happened?) so I decided to give it another try. Within the first fifteen minites I was hooked. The storry line, although a bit corny and predictable at times, was awsome. I was drawn in almost emideatly(sp?).
At first I found myself hateing the firebenders, especially Prince Zuco, and you havce to give me credit, he IS a 'bad guy.' I coulndn't stay hating him though, I even started to like him as a charecter. Each background is woven delicatly and with such twists and turns that no one is ever just 'good' or 'bad' but somewhere inbetween. Except perhaps Aang, who is thrown straight into the spot of `ultimate good guy.'
Avatar is a must have for anyone who likes intreging plot development, and unforgettable charecters.

I am only commenting on the content of the DVD, not the transfer of the quality of the DVD itsel for the packaging. Sorry in advance for those who needed that information.
This show is in a word, brilliant. I am not a fan of anime, even now, and although this show uses an anime style for its artistry I have come to appreciate anime a little because of it. This show has such depth. Depth in its story, depth in its characters, and this is why people of all age groups (I myself am 22+) will love this show. Children will enjoy the simpler theme of Aang, the hero, growing and learning to fulfill his destiny. Adults will love the wonderful, even adult, story telling mixed with kids humor that is so innocent it is bound to make all laugh. Adults will love the value this show places on friendships, community and the potential of the individual. Adults will love the subtle yet complex antagonist as he struggles with himself.
Actually my review is pretty poor. Give this show a shot, it airs often on Nickolodeon. I am sure few will be disappointed.

Five stars for the show, 4 stars for the quality, since the first disc of mine has bad pixel quality (both of them, I returned the first and got another but same problem persists). A bad transfer is all, but it spoils the first disc. I'm going to go out and just buy Vol.1 to replace that one disc, hopefully it's better.
Oh and i LOVE the art on this boxset.
The Boxset is small, maybe the size of two normal dvd boxes together, it has a slip cover with the image shown here on Amazon, inside is a folded box with art of the Northern Water Tribe kingdom spread. Unfold to reveal 6 dvds: 5 volumes + 1 extras. On each dvd is art, the art is the same from the separate volumes version but cropped.
Pretty and compact. I only wish there was more art goodies.

Nickelodeon for sure has completely revived their franchise for world wide cartoons with their latest number one hit, Avatar the Last Airbender.
With loveable characters such as Katara, Aang, Sokka, Toph (second season), Suki, Iroh, and even Appa, this show captures the imagination of all of America's kids as well as a decently large number of their teenagers and adults. This show has proven itself to be a great entertaining and imaginative fantasy epic based on oriental cultures with a western touch added to it such as the dialogue and 'bending of elements' (ie, Star Wars' Jedis).
You'll absolutely love this first season of the show, especially with its incredible digital HD enhancements, wonderful art work and music, behind the scenes videos, and surround sound audio. If you love anime, and fantasy cartoons, and Star Wars, then you'll love Nickelodeon's latest epic mailed home ready for your home theater.
Great job Nickelodeon for bringing something utterly amazing to our television sets. Finally there's an alternative to watching anime on Adult Swim!
