Avatar – The Last Airbender is an American animated series heavily inspired by Anime.
Avatar is set in a world divided in four nations, one for each element that some of the citizens can bend. Unfortunately while Aang was hibernated for 100 years, the Fire Nation conquered most of the world, and he is the last Airbender in the world. Luckily he is also the Avatar, the one person that can master all four elements and he is destined to defeat the Fire lord and bring peace to the world.
Although this is the traditional story for every epic quest, Avatar really nails it and makes an awesome show, with the extra that you can watch with small children. There is a lot of character evolution and the story line is unpredictable and makes sense at the same time. I really enjoyed it!
