Synopsis

Long ago the four nations lived in armony.Aang, a 12-year-old Airbender of the Air Nomads' Southern Air Temple, learned from the elder monks that he was the Avatar. Usually, the Avatar is told of his or her true identity after turning sixteen; however, the monks feared that a war between the four nations was on the horizon and that soon the Avatar would be required to maintain balance and order in the world. While traveling over frigid southern ocean waters, a sudden storm caused Appa to plunge deep into the sea. Aang unconsciously entered the Avatar State, and used a combination of Airbending and Waterbending to protect Appa and himself. By creating an air bubble around them and then freezing it, Aang was able to ensure that he and Appa could breathe and be protected from the storm until it dissipated. However, the storm transferred the bubble very near the south pole and it could not thaw, forcing the two of them into a state of suspended animation.Two teenage siblings from the Southern Water Tribe — Katara, an inexperienced Waterbender, and her brother, Sokka, a warrior and caretaker of the tribe — discover and free Aang and Appa from the iceberg. Aang soon discovers to his horror that, during his absence, a century-long war has been waged.

I easily rate this a 10/10. heh US animation is just unheard of these days. This is possibly one of the best storys ive seen in a long time it contains elements of comedy/action/drama/suspense only missing is horror which i think they tried but it just didnt quite work. The episodes flow so well going from serious to light harded its as if the creators actually care about whats being put out instead of how much they can make off it. the voice actors are fantastic, each one is perfect for the role they were casted. I'd highly recommend this to everyone at least watch the first 10 episodes to get a good feel for this show. like all animes/cartoons people have different tastes and some people wont like this but they cant say its a bad anime just one they didnt like.
