In which we enjoy the gateway drug that is eps 3 and 4

Let's hear it for Avatar 1.03

In which our heroes travel to the Airbender Temple where Harry Ang schools Ron Sokka during a game of Quidditch Airball, Koryu Ang gets bored watching Komyo Sanzo Monk Tiatso smoke his pipe bake cakes, and Evil Dude Kanda Zoka calls at Fire Nation port to repair his ship, crying out, "What's my motivation!"--the answer to which question some Even Eviler Dudes are more than happy to enlighten us. Meanwhile, back at the ranch Goku Ang goes apeshit because something dreadful has happened to Konzen Tiatso. Can our heroes Hakkai and Gojyo Katara and Sokka talk him down before he does something Dire?

In other reactions, I finally figured out who Zoka reminds me of--Kanda from D.Gray-man. Also, the menfolk get shirtless and are drawn buff and with nipples. Nipples. Hosannah! Ye gods, is this really a kids' show? And finally, duels among members of the Fire Nation are referred to as "agni会." See, Mom and Dad, my Japanese and Classics majors really are applicable somewhere outside the classroom!


Ep 1.04
Okay, not as good as the proceeding three, but still really, really good. I mean, can you think of any other show where a male lead gets taken by a bunch of uppity warrior females and doesn't roundly teach them their place within the next 20 minutes? Cause, that's the first time I've ever seen that happen in kids' TV. Also, a main character gloating over how cool he is without roundly disgusting me? I never thought I'd live to see that one either. Ang reminds me of a cross between Luffy and, like, every five-year-old Japanese boy on the face of the planet. Kudos once again to this show.


Seriously, I'm only up to ep 4 and I am already having too much fun.

これで以上です。

Yay Avatar! It's a show with a lot of known variables, yup, but they're put together so well. It's just quality.

I know! I'm really tickled by this show. So why didn't I hear about it earlier?

Dunno, maybe you weren't paying attention!

XD I've posted (http://sub-divided.livejournal.com/tag/series:avatar) about it a few times. (Also, OMG, if you have gotten to the second season you MUST read this post (http://lacewood.livejournal.com/108042.html) by [livejournal.com profile] cynic_in_charge. HILARITY.)

No kidding? Before I jump in (because I'd love to hear what you have to say about it) how much will your posts spoil me? Cause I don't want to ruin anything for myself before I get to it in the show.

Nothing's spoiled from the tag view. The first post (from the bottom) is a series overview I wrote after seeing the first three episodes, the second is fanfiction I wrote after same, the third recaps episodes 9 through 13 with icons, and the newest one is icon bases from the 19th and 20th episodes of the first season. I haven't seen the second season yet.
