Avatar, Book One
So I finally finished the first season of Avatar tonight. I would have finished earlier but I would read about stuff on wikipedia and then skip ahead to those episodes, lol.
I'm enjoying it so far, although it was a little weird at first seeing Aang only able to use Airbending and Katara only having minor Waterbending skills. Turns out the few episodes I managed to see before were all from the last season when Aang had learned everything except for Firebending.
'The Siege of the North, Part 2' was probably my favourite episode from the season. The music and animation during the Ocean Spirit attack were pretty stunning (not as stunning as the final but still pretty cool). My second favourite was 'The Blue Spirit' since I like Zuko and I like Zuko working together with Aang. Third would probably be 'The Warriors of Kyoshi' simply because Suki and the rest of the girls are so cool.
I want to give Aang a hug. Especially during the episode where Katara and Sokka were reunited with Bato. It broke my heart when he thought that Katara and Sokka were going to leave him (and when they did). I'll never understand why some fans like bashing the kid (which after the final there was a lot of).
Zuko is a dork. Not as dorky as later on but there were still plenty of times when I laughed at him. Of course with that hair cut I'm not sure just how I can take him seriously. Shaved bald with just a pony-tail is lulz. I thought it was awesome though when he was the Blue Spirit. I actually disliked the fact that he was revealed as the Blue Spirit so soon, I thought more could be done with that, especially later on in the series when Zuko starts doubting his choice to be with the Fire Nation.
Appa is &hearts . Yeah I love the big guy. I'm not looking forward the episodes when he goes missing. It's bad enough knowing what happens, I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have spoilers.
Since my favourite pairing doesn't show up in this season, I think I'll talk about Aang/Katara. I remember when the final aired there were a lot of surprises that it ended up canon (instead of Zuko/Katara). I'm now wondering if those fans were either blind or just completely skipped the first season. Because it's quite obvious that Aang likes Katara. There's an entire episode devoted to how much he likes her (and I think everyone but Katara and Sokka noticed).
Iroh is fucking awesome. &hearts

no subject
He's still crushing on her during the Ember Island episode when they go watch the play on their adventure so I know this isn't just a minor thing that he eventually gets over.
