[Question] Avatar the Last Airbender

[NarutovsLuffy]

Do u count the last Airbender as an anime
Personally I don't think so since it's part of Nick

Your friend must not be caught up with Naruto...
Avater is done in an anime style so I consider it one.

Technically it isn't an anime since it isn't produced/created in Japan. It was written by American writers and created in America. Although it does have a similar asian art style.

I think it is a lot better than most cartoons and is on the league of really good anime. So I like to consider it as one.

And yeah Naruto would win. Haha why did you say 'no homo'?

 

[Bling Kai]

no but it is AWSOME.

For everybody splitting hairs over the country of origin, knock it off. Anime should be looked at as a style of cartoon because that's all it is. They're all cartoons. American cartoons rarely use anime style of art but when they do they should be considered anime for 2 reasons. 1. They're usually done by Asian studios and yes Avatar is as well, if you bothered to do any research DR Movie is a Korean company that works with Japanese companies on anime as is Moi Animation. Boondocks is also produced in a South Korean studio, both of these titles are from creators in the US but the art and production is handled over seas. 2. They usually carry on the general anime concepts especially Avatar in the theme of friendship and teamwork and training etc.

Anime are cartoons and manga are comics they're just a sub genre and should be judged by style not point of origin. Saying an American can't make an anime or manga is like saying an Asian can't make a comic book or cartoon, well go tell that to Frank Cho or Jim Lee.

I consider it American anime. It's one of my favorite shows but naruto would destroy aang

 

[tywahu]

It was created in South Korea actually

 

[DaileyM]

Not really.

Naruto, One Piece, Bleach air on Cartoon Network (or at least use to) and on Adult-swim.
Just because Avatar: The Last airbender is aired on Nick, doesnt mean it isn't an anime.
It's dubbed.
Its an anime.
A DAMN GOOD ONE TOO!
(#zuko in my sig.. hehe)

No. I prefer it to be far away from anime because it's so good and shouldn't be in with some of the steretypes in anime since it doesn't even come close to some stupid japanese humor or stereotypes.

I like to think of everything as animated in the grand scheme. I'd rather have no classifications and it's all just cartoons.

 

[Delcan]

Anime are Japanese animated productions

^ enough said.
