Customer Rating: Summary: Love the show! Comment: If you're a fan of Avatar, why would you not want to buy this?! And if you're wanting to see what all the hype is about then I suggest buying all three seasons all at once, because once you finish one -- you'll go crazy until you find out what happens next. Seriously, it's that good. The story is incredible, the characters are lovable, and the animation is beautiful! Customer Rating: Summary: Heating things up Comment: The third and final book in Aang's story as the Avatar and the Last Airbender is so far (5 chapters in) a great continuation and certainly seems to be building up to the climax of the series. Was especially great to see Sokka being given a chance to shine as he is often overshadowed by the benders (a strong point made in that chapter). And certainly looking forward to the conflict between Uncle Ihro and Zuko! Customer Rating: Summary: Avatar Comment: So pleased with the purchase of this set. My children and I LOVE this series. We watch it all the time, and it's good to have the dvds because we can watch it over and over, and always see something we miss. Well worth the price and we received it when Amazon said we would. Amazon is the only place we could find all the seasons in a set and, as always, they had the lowest prices. Customer Rating: Summary: Worth every penny and every minute! Comment: *(minor) SPOILER ALERT!*
Avatar: The Last Airbender comes to an explosive conclusion in Book 3: Fire. (I seriously suggest you watch Books One and Two if you haven't yet, this is NOT a season to watch without seeing other episodes. I kindly recommend you stop reading now and look up book one). The series gets darker and more action packed than ever as Aang and his friends struggle to defeat Firelord Ozai before the powerful Sozin's Comet returns.
Compared to the other two seasons, book three is much more intense. It's still kid friendly with good morals and fun laughs, but the action keeps coming and coming. But it's not just a bunch of people riding flying bisons and flinging fireballs. The show gets really deep at times, now more than ever. Issues within as well as external are explored as characters search through their feelings, tragic backstories are revealed and terrifying enemies are encountered. Feelings of love and romance are also flying around in the shadow of battles. At first it was just Zuko trying to capture Aang to regain his honor. Then it was Azula trying to capture Aang, who is a little more intense with her firebending. Now they've got a crazy, nameless bald guy who can firebend with his mind and he's shooting to kill.
The characters have developed considerably and they deal with a good bit of drama in this season. Three years of airtime (one year by the show's timeline) has matured the characters. Everyone is a little more serious, a little wiser (or crazier). Zuko's anger is now directed at himself rather than others as he tries to find his purpose. Aang is struggling with feeling guilty over times he messed up big and tries to have the mindset to stop (as in kill) Ozai by ANY means necessary. Katara gets a lesson in revenge and forgiveness. Sokka still keeps the corny jokes coming, but he's become a good leader. On and on. The lessons that appear in daily episodes haven't stopped coming, they just come in more dramatic and serious situations in this season.
This description is probably making it sound like a soap opera with bending powers, so I will point out that comedy is still widely employed in this show. There are plenty of silly moments and kid jokes and happy endings. There's just a lot of danger and drama thrown into the mix....
The twists and turns and fireworks continue to the inevitable battle between Aang and Ozai that has built up for three seasons (who didn't see it coming?) and the ending is pretty surprising.
There is one episode in this season which is slightly scary. I hate to ruin the surprise, but in the episode the group encounters a woman who discovered how to bend blood and she bends it maliciously. While no actual blood is seen, the concept is probably the most intense thing covered on the show. This is still a show suitable for kids, but this shows just how mature it's gotten. Parents that are reading this for their kids, don't let this scare you away. This is as bad as it gets and it's not that bad, but it is slightly scary.
This show is very suspenseful and explores issues in a way that it can be enjoyable by any age and don't let the fact that it's a kid's show tell you otherwise! I'm a 20-year-old college student and I think it's brilliant. I think the show matured season-by-season to appeal to the target audience (kids and teens) as they grew up. This can be for kids as young as, say, seven or eight, (any younger is ok but all they'll see are fireballs and martial arts) and for adults as old as they come. The voice acting is very good, the story is exciting and the animation is really colorful and, well, animated. I will note that of the three seasons Book Three imitates japanese-anime styles the most, usually in a silly moment like when Aang has nightmares about facing Ozai and discovers he forgot to wear his pants.
This cartoon series is one for the ages. Book Three is by far the best of the three seasons in what I think is one of the best adventure stories ever written. It really is like a book; I tried to watch one or two episodes at a time but like a good book I couldn't put it down, or rather I couldn't stop watching. I had to know what happened next. The story of The Last Airbender is a very good show and I don't say that lightly. Action, romance, suspense, philosophy, comedy and drama all enjoyable by adults and suitable for kids. It's worth the thirty dollars. Trust me, you will love it and your kids or parents or friends or whoever else you know will love it. Everyone can appreciate it. Customer Rating: Summary: funny and great Comment: i love the martial arts in this series and comic relief, it's one of my favorite tv series.
