Avatar - The Last Airbender: The Complete Series

It came in perfect condition and before I expected it to be here. You should definitely get this for your collection and to have for your kids! Hard to find great shows anymore for our children to watch. Avatar has great lessons and will always be timeless.

First of all what a MESS of reviews my god.... What was amazon thinking mixing the dvd reviews together with the blu ray reviews? In case you haven't noticed this review is for the recently released avatar the last airbender blu ray set. What the hell took them so long? The legend of kora has been on blu ray for a while now.... All well we have it now so it doesn't matter. Lets get into the review! We all know the story of the last airbender by now, I don't really have to repeat it. It's a fantastic journey were the boy Aang goes on to learn the rest of the 3 elements so that he can save the world from the fire nation. The slip cover looks amazing and the art cover for the blu ray case looks fantastic. Really well done compared to the legend of kora blu ray set, even though I wish it also had an artbook like the legend of kora blu ray set because I do indeed like the artwork of the avatar series. Some technical features are that the picture is in a 4×3 size hence the black bars to the side. I guess it makes sense that they didn't want to stretch the picture due to the old animation originaly made to fit tv screens. I'm not complaing seeing as I own other old animes on blu rays with that aspect raito like yu yu hakasho. It's 3 disks per book. Book water being on disk one, two and three, Book earth being on disk four, five and six, the final book, the Book fire being on disk seven, eight and nine. It's has 1 disk more than the legend of kora blu ray being 4 hours longer than legend of kora which is quite a big difference. The whole runtime is 1464 minutes which in simple terms is 24 hours and 14 minutes long. This doesn't touch the fact that on how long the special features are.... That's a lot of watch time... That's even more runtime than a 51 episode anime series. If you think your going to watch this in a day? That would be physically impossible... It's something that it can take you more than a week to watch if anything. Even a 25 episode animes that's quite a lot to watch in one sitting... So if your are wondering if this is your bang for your buck, yes it is... Special Features Include: The Making of Avatar Featuretts, Original Uncut Animattic "Bato of the Water Tribe", Original Uncut Animattic", Behind the Scenes with the Avatar Cast & Crew, Avatar Super Deformed Shorts, Into the Fire Nation at San Diego Comic-Con, The Women of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" as well as even more Featuretts, Audio Commentaries and More. Thats a lot of special features right there, pretty sure most of them were on on the previous dvds just ported over to the blu ray set. The picture looks better than ever even with the black bars on the side, the technicolor gives it better color, Audio is dts-HD Master Audio and Dolby Audio, it sounds great for only 2.0 audio, though should be 5.1 audio like the legend of kora... Still it looks great on blu ray, even though it's older textures still being there. Conclusion? This is one of the best blu ray purchases I have made in a LONG time. The price alone is fantastic for so many episodes! If this wasn't a cartoon but an anime then the price would probably be nearly over 100 dollers! For only 29.99 plus tax? This is a steal! Go buy it right now. I also recommend buying the legend of kora blu ray set.

I am a huge animation fan. I have always loved shows that take pride in good animation whether it be Jonny Quest, Gargoyles, Batman the animated series, Talespin, whatever. Unfortunately, after the 90s there was a decline in quality animation in favor of a low quality, high level of production animation. Avatar looked different, but when it first came out I was busy with sports and never got a chance to watch it on tv. Now after all these years of hearing a lot of good things about avatar I decided to find out whether the show really is as good as people claim or if it’s merely that it came at such a low era in animation that it is being compared to other shows of the same time. After watching it I can say it is the most impressive animated tv show I’ve ever seen. The animation is flawless and the movements are so fluid and with a show based on fast movements and fights that is a fairly rare and very impressive accomplishment. Really my only issue with the show is the way vehicles are animated is more of computerish as opposed to traditional animation which clashes at times, but I don’t let it distract me enough to hurt the show. The voice acting in the show is another impressive aspect. The voices and emotions are perfect and when taking into account the characters being animated appropriately it works perfectly together. Then there’s the soundtrack... I must admit while watching it at first the soundtrack is so perfect that I really didn’t “notice” it cause it wasnt distracting or too in your face. It wasn’t until I was about halfway through the series i decided to listen to the soundtrack on YouTube. It was at that time listening to it as a stand alone that I realized how good it was(and recognized it from the show but because I was so focused on the beautiful animation I wasn’t giving it the attention it deserved), and from that point on I paid more attention to it during the show. Then there’s the story... I’m a sucker for animated shows that are continuous and build on each other and avatar does that masterfully. The development of characters is fabulous and there is an emotional aspect that you actually really feel and get drawn into(credit the animation, voice acting, soundtrack, and writing for that). One warning to people so they don’t get mad like I did. I watched the entire series for the first time with this BluRay set, and I would watch 2-3 episodes per night. Well one night it was getting late and I needed to get up early but I wanted to watch one more it turned out to be “City of Walls and Secrets” and without giving spoilers this episode was great and left me with some serious suspense, so even though it was already really late I watched one more episode to see what would happen next... the next episode was “Tales of Ba Sing Se”... and it was a “filler” episode that I absolutely hated because I was in such suspense and they changed directions all the sudden and ignored what happened the episode before. Now people tend to love “Tales of Ba Sing Se”(and I like it too now that I’ve watched it without the expectation I had) but it’s just a word of warning not to expect something from it that you won’t get. That was the only time during the entire series I was disappointed. So overall it’s the best show I’ve seen cause the animation is on a level of its own, the emotion and acting is superb, and the story and soundtrack will definitely entertain you. I can’t imagine anyone disliking the show.

Love this series and so glad I could purchase a physical copy. Works great! No issues

This is one of the greatest series that was ever created.

The case doesnt hold the dvds very well but its the best show ever so its fine

Quando ho comprato questo prodotto temevo che il mio lettore DVD non l'avrebbe letto, per via di una recensione qui sul sito che diceva che il formato dei dischi non era leggibile dai lettori DVD italiani. Fortunatamente la mia voglia di possedere il pacchetto blu-ray edizione limitata ha vinto, visto che il mio lettore DVD vecchio di anni legge perfettamente i dischi. Per cui consiglio caldamente questo acquisto anche se italiani.

I cannot believe this show had escaped me for so long, I got it for my partner who loved the film by M Nigh Shyamalen, but truthfully this is not much like that at all but in Aang and his loyal friend/flying Bison transport Appa we have two great hero characters, assisted and confounded equally by Katara and her brother Sokka who brings great humour to the series as the resident buffoon, the show has pratfalls, wonderful action scenes and immense pathos too, touching on subjects I never thought kids show went for. Aang is the Avatar but is still just a child so he tries his best but makes mistakes and that is what makes him such a good hero, he never lets it destroy him when it goes wrong, even when he is confronted by immense tragedy, truly this show is unafraid to show kids the world in a microcosm and gifts them the intelligence to understand what they are seeing and being told. Every hero needs a villain and we have one in Zuko a fire nation exiled prince who must recapture the Avatar (Aang) to regain his honour once more, he is however too hot headed and needs constant advice from his uncle Iroh a former military leader who chose to accompany Zuko during his banishment, these are not your standard villains, they have backstories and humanity even when what they are looking to do is so fundamentally wrong that they do not see it that way. I will not ruin the show by telling you what happens or how it ends, but if you like intelligent and thought provoking stories, with action, adventure, drama, scares and suspense all mingled with pratfalls and belly-laughs then this show really is for you and should be enjoyed by all and not just kids.

Produit arrivé avant la date prévue. Qualité vidéo très satisfaisante moyennant un réglage des paramètres de l'application de lecture (sur pc).

Great series. It does not include subtitles in english
