Avatar - The Last Airbender: The Complete Book 3 Collection

This show was an amazing ride the entire way. It was funny, and had an amazing plot with characters you grow to love. I have never seen a cartoon with such an emotional storyline. The beauty of this story is that you see the characters growing and finding themselves and the strengths within.

Though many people still feel there will be more Books and perhaps a sequel to tie up loose ends, I'm going to have to be the bearer of bad news and say, no that is not the case. The creators of this show appeared at Comic Con following the series finale and told everyone this is indeed the end. They will be making a new series, but the story of Aang and his gang are over.

Season three was not the best of the series. Season two in my opnion was the greatest of this show. Yet, season three did have many amazing moments. You get to see friendly faces once again and some questions, not all are answered. Though Aang is the main character of the series who struggles with his role as the world savior, it is the anti-hero character of Zuko you fall in love with and ultimately yearn to see succeed in his quests.

Season three is a little darker than the rest of the series. The creators were asked since it had a huge adult based following, did they change aspects to convienance that age group. They said no everything was the way they had planned from the beginning. In my opnion, I don't think that is entirely true. While this show has always had darker themes (A ruthless king orders mass genocide on entire nations of people) the first season seemed lighter and easy going. The longer is was on television and the more viewers it had the darker it seemed to be.

The only downside to this series ending, is there are major questions that were left hanging. One more blatantly thrown in the veiwers face and left for nothing. The question of Zuko's mother is asked. Then you get no response. At comic con it was stated they did indeed have a final ending for Zuko's mother but the co -creator had it cut in the editing stages. Why? I don't know. Seems rather ignorant to me.

Other questions are left hanging. What happend to Azula? How will the people of the Fire Nation react to Zuko being Fire Lord? Why did they have a 15 year old girl "fall in love" with a 12 year old boy?

The upside to this is there is a live action move in the process of being made. M Night Shymalan will be directing Book 1. It will be a three part series. Perhaps some of these questions will be answered there.

There are times where I have to tell myself this is ultimately a children's show. It can be frustrating because the answers I want are not there, yet maybe to the average twelve year old these questions don't need to be answered.

BOTTOM LINE: This entire series is one of the rare shows that both children and adults can sit down and enjoy.

What a fantastic season! The artisty and storyline that has gone towards developing this season far exceeds anything ever expected from a television animation! The final season of Avatar captures the essence of this incredible story so well. It shows how each character has grown throughout the series.. The portrayal of Aang and Zuku especially are absolutely brilliant. The visual effects ..breathtaking! it rivals anything Disney has ever made during its peak!.. the final battle seen! everything I ever expected it to be!!!!

My only regret is that it ended..!! this is a ABSOLUTE MUST see!! This series will go down in history as one of the best television animations ever made in our generation!

Is a problem, if the book 1 and book 2 have several languages and the book 3 don's have that specification....Is annoying that inconvenient...Don't misunderstand me, the serie is one of my favorite, I have book 1 and 2, but I have to think about if I have to buy the season 3. So, I have to wait until it come out (if come out) a book 3 collection with Spanish language.

My family absolutely loves the Avatar series. It has a great story line that keeps everyone's attention as well as great underlying values. My family has the whole collection and watches them again and again. They are well worth the money.

Avatar: The Last Airbender had amazing first and second seasons. I was afraid that the third season wouldn't live up to the greatness of the first two, but it surpassed my expectations by far. It truly has something for everyone: complex, well-developed characters, intense and complicated plots, breath-taking animation, fabulous voice actors, and incredibly beautiful music. Everything about this show is simply fantastic. If you don't usually like cartoons, don't overlook Avatar; it is sophisticated and will please everyone on some level. Avatar is truly the best TV show I have ever seen. You will not be disappointed. At all.
