...Yeah, it's pretty LOL-worthy. I blame AWS. The incorrectly-colored shirt points to an animation error, but I'll expand on that and say it's a disparity in the actual animators. Several people work on each episode. If you watch closely, the characters will look slightly different throughout every episode, even though the animators work for the same studio. They can emulate each other, but not perfectly ( we can't really expect them to! ). I can't blame Azula for looking confused, though. She was flat for the entire episode, and out of nowhere...! Come to think of it, Azula did seem a little bigger in her Dai Li uniform. But not consistently! ( They also neglected to draw her claws 'til the very end of the episode, which was never done before. ) Again, I think it's because of all the animators working on the episode. Some drew her with a chest, while others continued the tradition of not doing that. There still were instances where she was as flat as ever. But the fact that we're even having this discussion proves she's on the small side! I don't know about you guys, but I feel a bit silly...I've noticed this alot .lol I think one that confuses me the most is katara eyes they change colors slightly.lol ^I remember hearing that, too. And Katara's appearance does vary wildly throughout Season Two. Especially the animation done by DR Movie... there are times when her attractiveness is compromised. But they have been consistent in drawing her with a chest, and we can't say the same for Azula! Oh, that's part of why I feel silly, too. ( Yes, I'm a girl... I guess my username deceives, but that's not why I made it. ) And discussing an animated character's chest isn't something I've ever done before... it's awkward! Kinda' funny, though.Ya katara has varied a lot.lol I also notice azulas claws alot, maybe tis becasue I have time looking in her eyes there always so dang firery.lol But I also notice tophs nose appears to change size a few times towards the end of season 2. Also I would argue that Azulas lack of chest makes sense for who she is and how she is portrayed for the most part as very masculine. Also katara has alway been curvier than azula that has never changed. Granted there not ty lee or jin. but I think thats a better portal of the differences in women at least better than anime in witch most womens chests are bigger than there heads.lol So what I'm trying to say is women vary wildly in there body shape and size. And now I having a hard time keeping a strait face.lol ;D

Sorry! I didn't know you were a girl! (I'm awful at trying to tell people's genders over the Internet.) AWS has made us all insane! And I found this post that shows three different ways Katara is drawn. Poor girl. ;_; No need to be sorry! And, if you makes you feel better, I'm not all that great at gender-deduction myself. I agree: AWS can turn the most levelheaded of fans insane... I think this conversation is proof! Ah, well.Regarding Katara: the first and last images were from DR Movie. They're notorious for making Katara look like... that. On the other hand, they do have their good animators -- unfortunately, they're not used often. Case in point: DR Movie was responsible for animating The Drill, and both Katara and Azula looked very nice in that episode. Alas, the "sub-par" animators are used most of the time. Azula is very pretty, but in a slim, sort of handsome way more than a really feminine way. Exactly. That's the wording I was looking for! *Exalts.* Azula is not a feminine girl in the least, and this extends to her appearance. Instead, she's rather handsome, as you put it. Ya katara has varied a lot.lol I also notice azulas claws alot, maybe tis becasue I have time looking in her eyes there always so dang firery.lol But I also notice tophs nose appears to change size a few times towards the end of season 2. Also I would argue that Azulas lack of chest makes sense for who she is and how she is portrayed for the most part as very masculine.

And now I having a hard time keeping a strait face.lol ;D Right -- Katara seems to suffer the most from the variation in animation. Azula's claws are very striking, and I noticed them as early as The Avatar State, when she used them to splinter the seashell and draw blood on Zuko ( reminded me of InuYasha and his "Sankon Tessou!" somehow! ). Never noticed Toph's magical nose... that's weird... I wholeheartedly agree on the connection between Azula's lack of chest and her personality. That's probably what the creators were shooting for. A bigger chest would equate to less people taking her seriously... animé proves this without a shadow of a doubt... fortunately, Avatar isn't animé. Being animé fans themselves, Mike and Bryan were likely conscious of this tendency in the audience and made Azula flat-chested in accordance. Her persona, too, as you mentioned.

Lol yes thank god for gender tags.lol Yes AWS has hit me with its full force right when the first dvd cover for season three was released. It wasn't this bad expect at the season 2 finally.lol I agree kataras ears look bigger and she looks goofy. You would think with the massive buget avatar has they could quality check some of these things. I also notice Azulas claws partly because of those scenes where they show her from different angles and the way she holds her hand its very noticeable and like I said she hard to look in the eyes.lol I agree I still see her as pretty I mean she has a lovely face witch is defiantly shown when her mask of calm breaks like in the cross roads of destiny.When she is soften a little she is very attractive. She lacks softness azula is by nature very hard, witch is a very masculine trait. But yes she is not the typical girl. I think she looked best in the earth kingdom / di Li outfight partly becaus it drew attention away from here eyes when I see her in her firenation armour I'am drawn to look into her eyes. Wehn not looking at her face directly or not feeling like your being stared down she seems less scary. I agree thats one thing I thankful Mike and Brian didn't give all the girls big boobs.lol But even when they did the girls have the body for it example would be Jin she built correctly and doesn't look like cleavage with a girl attached.lol

Azula because she is the most determined person ever. She is a little bit crazy but I could live with that.

ty lee isn't bad but I want to know it she has any smarts in that cute head of hers? How can she not be smart? She has mastered the ability to temporarily deprive people of their bending. You have to have some intelligence to be able to memorize the human anatomy. Plus, her aura is pink! (I voted for Ty Lee in case you can't tell)
