@Lobster:
That's not an opening. It's a little summary before the show. That's generally something you see before or after an opening. (like the Gold Roger into)
…
But it is the shows opening. Just because it's not a song doesn't mean it's not.
American shows have opening songs too… Infact I can't even think of one that doesn't, besides Avatar.
I never posted anything about American shows not having openings, Infact there are many that don't have theme songs/openings.
Infact there are many that don't have theme songs/openings.
Like..?
Samurai Jack had an intro similar to Avatar. But after that, it still had a cool theme song after directly after it. =/
It seems that all of Nick's other shows do too. I guess it's not a big deal, but I generally like a catchy song that I can listen to before a show, to get into the atmosphere of it.
U can watch book1 online or download it or whatever.
Isn't it obvious that skipping the first of only three seasons is kind of a bad idea?
Hey, ^^; it isn't my fault. I said i got them as a gift. And I'm at school, so I can't exactly get a hold of them myself…
Ahah!! Here we go... I'll just watch it here. =)

Yay!!~ It's got them all too. (much better then youtube, or waiting for a download)
Another new episode, episode 308. This one is VERY good.

Shouldn't the show it'self be enough? If you need a theme song to get you in the mood to watch a show then it must not be very good…
Anyway I liked The Avatar and the Fire Lord" episode. Nice to hear some backstory and it kinda cleared up all about Roku. And what a twist at the end too 
Also nice to hear Iroh finally speak. His new VA is good but nothing will ever replace Mako in my heart:sad:
Katara: "Oh Sokka just hold hands!"
Shouldn't the show it'self be enough? If you need a theme song to get you in the mood to watch a show then it must not be very good…
Not "mood", atmosphere ^^ Like, fully immersed within the shows fantasy world~
BTW, everyone looks much older and better in the new episodes. Is it just the fire tribe outfits, or was there a time skip?
There was a two week time-skip between the second season finale and the third season. Aang and Co. go into the Fire Nation, so they wear different clothes.
Blood bending u say. I thought Nick couldn't show blood and such.
^There was blood in Spongebob and Rugrats =3
Another new episode, episode 308. This one is VERY good.
! BLOOD FUCKING BENDING katara learns to blood bend
! Awesome episode,Blood bending is awesome :D
Kamen Rider OOOs
Holy shit
3 new episodes and they're all full of stuff
Bloodbending episode was creepy yet totally awesome. Waterbending has never looked so good.
My only complain was Iroh's new voice actor. He doesn't sound as good as when he was voicing the chibi shorts.
In fact, he sounds terrible.
I notice right after Roku was shown learning Earth Bending he mentions it being "Bitter Work" which was the name of the episode Aang began learning from Toph. lol
Could anybody post those 3 new epis on youtube? My computer is really shitty.

Thanks changsho. Now I can watch the epis uninterrupted.
! Sozin was abble to redirect heat, in the volcano.
Combustion Man uses his tatoo for control of his power.
You can dry out plants and trees with waterbending, and you can bloodbend people (or blood) at full moon only.
Zuko is Roku's great grandson, from Ursa's side.
Zuko is being influenced by Iroh again.
There is a message from Toph to her parents.
Fire Nation took captives Earth and Water benders, what are the chanses that there are air benders rooting in prissions?

ARE YOU SERIOUS
SWEEEEEEEET
the avatar and the firelord:
Wow, just wow!
/spam :D
gasping for air damn, why didn't I knew they where to air three episodes. When did I miss it?
Anywho, the genetic in Zuko's family is what's messing him up? That was a surprise…
The Mister Malabro!
I love how they tie in the story of Roku and Sozin with Aang and Zuko's, making parallels. It's also incredible to see Roku's training and his epic battle against the volcano.
Now let's just hope Zuko's streak of fail doesn't continue and for him to do something right for once.
But…
Blood
FUCKING
BENDING
Jesus
Speaking of blood bending, some guys at avatarspirit.net believe that certain high-ups at nick try to sabotage avatar like they supposedly did with other shows before that might damage nick's image.
for example:
@yorokei:
I'm an animation student, and I have been learing this and that about channels and what shows they air. As for Nickelodeon, they have the policy of being a 'kids channel', purely for shows that are popular with kids.
This, however, causes Nickelodeon to not pay attention too much to shows that don't fall in the kid's category. Some of you might remember 'Ren & Stimpy', which became highly popular with adults, thus lifting it from its status as a kid's show. Nickelodeon got lots of viewers, but what happened?
Nickelodeon purposely did the unthinkable. They kept the rights to Ren & Stimpy, but stopped the show from being aired or continued. They pulled the plug, without the possiblity of it resurfacing on another channel (for a long time). Not because of its bad ratings, but because of the fact it was no longer a 'pure kids show'. They didn't care about the audience or the animators who loved it… they just cared about the name of their network!
So there you have it... Now, I don't think Avatar will stop airing before season three is fully finished...But it does explain why Nickelodeon advertises it so poorly. In their eyes, it's supposed to be a kid's show. But since Avatar has reached the masses beyond kids, it's dangerous to their 'kids channel image', so they don't air it too much. I feel bad for a good show like Avatar, but that's the way things go...
@jintor:
Weirdly enough, if Nick was insanely profit-orientated, Avatar would have lots more advertising and attention
@JRisme:
Strangley enough.. i believe you both make very valid points.. which confuses me Yo and Jin..
Avatar has pretty much crossed the bridge to an older audience.. I'm an animation student too, and I can't tell you, how many adults at this school watch avatar.. It's far out numbers the amount of kids I know that watch the show.. The kids just say.. its to boring.. they talk to much..
Nick is based on profit.. i believe that Jin. They focus on profit just like any other big buisness. But if they focused to much on Avatar, then they will loose some of their kid audience. Which they can't afford to do, since they air so many other shows….
This discussion started cuz nick aired no preview for ep 306 after ep 305 :)
The Runaway:
O_O What's with those episodes, they're all just so awesome!
Now aang can see with earth bending too. The animation is so great. Toph is finally back in the picture and her scams and the interaction with katara were great :D
Did i mention the animation was awesome? This is really getting better and better.
THE PUPPETMASTER 
This just blew me away. My english skills are too poor to describe that episode. What a rich and sinister horror story. Awesome waterbending moves and we've got yet another interesting flashback to the beginnings of the war. That itself would have made a fine episode but i'd never imagened the actual outcome.
The rats that scurried across the floor of my cage were nothing more than skins filled with liquid
So great 
They'll need tons of comic relief to ease the parents worrying about their children's sanity.
The Puppetmaster was an awesome episode, but it some things in it just made me angry =(
-Why did Katara think that blood bending was evil? So what you control their body… is it any less evil then smashing a person with a rock? That's actually a peaceful way to get things done, if you have the right approach. You could just make guards do things, like open gates, without having to beat them up first.
-Why didn't Katara have ANY sympathy for the lady? Her friends and family were all defeated, and she was imprisoned for years. All she did was say that blood bending was wrong. How else would the lady have escaped?
-How did Katara master blood bending, in like, a minute, when it took the lady years?
-Was I the only one who felt sorry for the lady? She was imprisoned for many years by the fire nation for no reason. And then she gets led away to be prisoner for the rest of her life, and all Katara can do is smile…
I was on the side of the old lady, fer serious. Hopefully she can escape though, using the same methods. =/
Hm… each bending has ultimate moves now?
Fire -> Lightning
Water -> Bloodbending
Earth -> Metalbending
Air -> ?
Air bending needs more attention \O_o/
@Elric:

With the next episodes titled "Nightmares and Daydreams" and "Day of the Black Sun"… haha good luck with that!

Katara refused the bbing only after she found out about the towns people. She wasn't fond of the bbing to begin with but Hama's bad example of a bber decided it.
@Lobster:
-Why didn't Katara have ANY sympathy for the lady? Her friends and family were all defeated, and she was imprisoned for years. All she did was say that blood bending was wrong. How else would the lady have escaped?
Hama had imprisoned innocent people, that's what made katara angry.
@Lobster:

No-win situation + main character bonus = power-up.
Katara's talent for waterbending is a little bit odd though. At least it was back then in season 1 when it suddenly appeared even though she was kind of a slow learner before^^
When did these episodes air? Man, and I thought I was on top of all the avatar episodes.
Do you play League of Legends? Cause I do and I wonder why.
Speaking of blood bending, some guys at avatarspirit.net believe that certain high-ups at nick try to sabotage avatar like they supposedly did with other shows before that might damage nick's image.
As far as Ren and Stimpy go, from what I recall, they took the show away from Kricfalusi because he was missed several deadlines on episodes and was also constantly arguing with Standards and Practices. They continued making new episodes and airing them, but the older episodes appeared less.
As time went by, the show became less and less popular.
So it wasn't a case where the show was deliberately surpressed for fear of what it might do to their image.
They showed Aang's 'bloody' wound in the beginning of book 3 too.
Should we rename the thread to Avatar: The Legend of Aang to honor early UK airings? Hehe

! Well, it comes as no real surprise to me that Nightmares and Daydreams actually was pure comedy. With a strong anime influence btw. Though i don't think that episode did much to calm down wary parents.
Now i wonder what's gonna happen at "the invasion". It can't actually be a success since we're only halfway through the season and Aaang still needs to bend some fire before he can bring balance to the world, no?
Good Appa is the creator of a true Yontoryu, not like some jiraph demon man who cops out and uses it's legs as swords, now I want an Appa vs Zoro fight…
@Mr.:
When did these episodes air? Man, and I thought I was on top of all the avatar episodes.
I think they've only aired in UK or Canada. Sometimes they get ahead.
Rappin' Chopper:
"Yo; I was a reindeer livin' out in 'da snow! But then this old geeza' doctor brought me into his home! After healin' my wounds, I felt real phat. Then, old docta' Hiruk gave me this blingin' hat! My family beat me, shunt me, but it's all tight. Because I'm doin' my doctor remedies all night. I look like freak with my Human Human fruit. But now I'm with some gangsta' pirates who like to steal loot! All the girls like my blue nose. Yeah; it's the way that I get the Record scratching. Usopp's the guy with all 'da glory. He's my main man with all his tight stories. Zolo's Santoryu skills are on ice. You betta' watch out, or you gonna get sliced! Sanji's the cook servin' up the main dish. Don't mess with him, unless that's your wish. Luffy's 'da captain with the straw hat! His Gum Gum skills are real real tight. Vivi's the princess of Alabasta. Now we gotta head there, and we betta' do it faster!"
It'll take me alot of time to get used to Iroh's new voice. It sounds like whoever's playing him is trying to imitate Mako.
! I saw episode The Runaway,Nightmares and Daydreams on Veoh
There were 2 things that surprised me in The Runaway: 1.They showed a Hawk craping 2.They showed Katara bathing(They didn't show anything but she was naked)
As for Nightmares and Dreams it was the most funniest episode that i ever seen and Appa and Momo can talk! and they had a Samurai battle! "My royal parts are showing!" XD
This was an interesting episode
! Surprised to find out that Roku is Zuko's great grandfather
Alright just finsihed "The Puppermaster" and "Nightmare & Daydreams". The puppermaster was creepy but good. I think they could have made it a bit more creepy but it's still Nick so I guess there are some restrictions. I was hoping if they were to bring up blood bending they would use the trading card character. The episode after "Nightmares & Daydreams" would have to be my favorite episode of the whole series. Aang was totally out of it. It was cool that they used those "pre-production" character designs they showed off at San Diego's Comic Con 07. Though I was hoping for the huge buff one to be included it was still funny though. Then Momo and Appa talking? Then going at it with Samurai swords? Wow… I'd love to see Appa and Zoro go at it for sure lol. And it seems Zuko was just around for the sake of having him in the episode. I liked his role in the episode but if he was gonna be in it he should have had a better role.
Ozai: "MY ROYAL PARTS ARE SHOWING!!!"
Aang: "Baby you're my forever girl~"
^What are you guys talking about? Some shorts or something?

We're like 3 episodes ahead, go catch up.
Damn, they even have this stuff online now? I might DL it, I don't think I have the space to spare though.
EDIT: Oh, it's available for streaming too. So is this cause the series is ahead for non-american viewers?

Blood Bending, so freakin awesome.

Who here is with me and thinks that the invasion will be a complete success and the final battle is Ozai (or azula) triying to take back the fire nation with the power of the commet?
Watched the new episodes online. I've come to the conclusion that the best scenes in any episode are ones involving Sokka and his fake beard.

Is it just me or did Sozin basically use Iroh's lightning defense to bend steam away from the volcano? He routed the steam through his body after all rather than simply bending it by himself.
If so, that would imply that he has studied other Bending techniques as well. Which leads me to my next question: did Sozin study other nations' techniques in the hopes of challenging Roku some day and, is it simply traditional for Fire Lords to do so, or is it something that Sozin started and that his successors (and apparent successors in Iroh's case) continued on the off-chance that the Avatar came back? Or did Iroh independently come up with the same basic concept as Sozin?
Ozai is likely to be a much more powerful opponent than Aang realizes.
Complicating things since 2009.
