Good. I'm glad you do.

*Shrug* Well hey, I dislike Nickelodeon too; but that didn't stop me from taking a look. I originally thought it was gonna be like another anime-wannabe show with degrading characters and such...something thats' become a moreso tradition with Nick [Only the bit of the 'degrading' part...- I don't know if they ever really tried an Asian-influenced toon before...until this, that is.] I watched a few episodes of it, and I must say; I've grown rather fond of it...I, personally, think it's a great show. But, if you want, feel free to hate it.

*Begrudgingly re-types this whole post...  *

Anyone seen it?

'Tis a new show made and produced by Nicklelodeon, with the plot as follows.

In a lost age, the world is divided into four nations: Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. Within each nation, there is a remarkable order of men and women called the "Benders" who can learn to harness their inborn talent and manipulate their native element. Bending is a powerful form combining martial art and elemental magic.

In each generation, only one Bender is solely capable of controlling all four elements. That Bender is the Avatar. The Avatar is the spirit of the world manifests in human form. When the Avatar dies, it reincarnates into the next nation in the cycle. Starting with the mastery of his or her native element, the Avatar learns to bend all four elements. Throughout the ages, the countless incarnations of the Avatar have served to keep the four nations in harmony.

Then, the Firebenders attacked. Just as the world needed the Avatar the most, he mysteriously vanished. A hundred years later, the Fire Nation is near final victory in its ruthless war of world domination. The Air Nomads were destroyed, the Air Temples ravished, and all Airbender monks eradicated. The Water Tribes were raided and driven to the brink of extinction. The Earth Kingdom remains and fights a hopeless war against the Fire Nation. Many believe the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads and the cycle is broken.

In the desolated South Pole, a lone Water tribe struggles to survive. It is here that the village's last remaining Waterbender Katara and her warrior brother Sokka rescue a strange 12-year-old boy named Aang who has been suspended in hibernation in an iceberg. The tribe soon discovers that Aang is not only an Airbender--the extinct race no one has seen in a century--but also the long lost Avatar. Now Katara and Sokka must safeguard the child Avatar in his journey to master all four elements and save the world from the Fire Nation.

Sounds complex...yes...yes..yes..

 I'm quite attracted to this show. IMO, it has quality writing, a great cast of characters, and the animation is superb. It has a sort've anime/Asian style to it, though not to the point whereas the characters are completely doing outrageous [yet funny] anime expressions.

[ Mwaha. Video clips. ]

As of seeing and hearing the show for myself, I could only remember a glimpse of it. And I only saw it once, when I was very young and very sick. And when I tried to find it, I couldn't.

But I stumbled across what that website claimed to be 'the first pizza cat page' two years ago, and my interest was piqued in them. Soon after did I find the following: Jonas Miles' pizza cat page, Polly Ester's fan page,  a very neat-looking Princess Vi page, the Samurai Pizza Cat section in Fanfiction.net; and I used to wander around SPC forums when in its' proboards form.

I suppose I'm a minor fan, simply 'cause I never really seen them for myself[On tv...though I'll admit, I recall seeing a hilarious video clip on Jonas's page and on Vi's...I think. o.0]; but I've grown to like them the more I've learned about them.
