There are a lot of people out there who think that Avatar is an Anime. But if anyone has seen the show and a typical Anime show knows that assumption is far from the truth. This thread is dedicated to how Avatar would actually be different if it truly was an Anime.
If Avatar was an Anime then . . .
- half the episode would consist of a flashback
- There would be 5 episodes dedicated to Aang learning how to master one of the elements
- The girls would do nothing except cry out Aang's name when he got hurt or be a damsel in distress
- It would take Aang at least an episode for him to get into the Avatar State
- We would still be in Book 1 because the show would create horrible fillers to stall until Book 2 was finished being made in the Avatar Manga

- the girls would have humungous boobs
- their eyes would be 10x bigger and more colorful
- their names would change dramatically
- the fight scenes would last the entire episode, or more
- Zuko would literally have his own fanclub in the show and girls stalking him from all sides of the planet
- the show would have half of it dedicated to chibi scenes

Wow. I'm glad that Avatar isn't drawn like an anime if that is what would happen to it.

-The characters would announce their moves with cool names before attacking.
-Azula wouldn't have shot Aang - everyone anime villain knows you don't attack someone in the middle of their transformation sequence. It's just not polite.
-Blood.
-Katara's white swimming outfit? Make it 10 times skimpier, and that's what she'd be wearing all the time, even in the snow.
-Every one-shot character (Teo, Haru, Song, Jun, etc.) would have gotten an episode to recall their entire life story.
-For every sentence of dialogue, there'd be about ten sentences of "inner thoughts," from every character, even in response to the most trivial statements.

- Possibly swears. - Very sharp images. - Everything is PG-13. - The hair color is unnatural. - There is a scene like this everytime a character gets angry. -Sequences where you are lost and terribly confused. |

- Let's not forget the SUPER high-pitched girl voices
- The girls would wear mini-skirts extremely short
- Some characters will appear strong for a while, then they would become the cheerleaders for the main characters

Oh but it would be so funny to hear Katara scream; "WATER WHIP!!!!!!!!!!!"
or Aang: "AVATER-VOLUTION!" (Nod to digimon XD Digievolution!)
Sokka: "SPINNING BOOMERANG!"
Toph: "BOULDER ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!"
Azula: "PSYCHOTIC BLUE FIRRRRREEEE!"
Iroh: "DRAGON BREATH! *pow!*" (Agumon was Pepper breath, lol, but hey.)
Zuko: "FIRE DAGGERS!"

Only crap, EVERY action theme would be extended like three times longer.
Picture all the fight scenes. But before each contender throws a few jabs they try to scare each other with word play and staring contests.
Then there's at least a total duration of at least 2 minutes worth of head shots of 'gasping' and 'groaning in every episode (with the wobbly eyes).
And being the fact that Anime is based first off with japanese, King Bumi would never have been able to pull off the "lettuce leaf" joke.
Everyone else here as good points too.

- It wouldn't be on Nick
- Zuko would be even more of a bishonen than he already is. And twice as angsty. (...is that even possible? XD)
- Iroh would be perverted. (I think the thing with Jin was poking fun at this...) Bumi, Gyatso, Pathik, and Pakku would be, too (along with any other old men I forgot)
- There would be blatant fanservice
- People would actually die onscreen
- The fight scenes would not be animated nearly as well, opting for lots of 'too fast for the eye to see' punches rather than actually following set martial arts styles
- The colors would be slightly different (...can't describe this very well)
- Aang would call Katara and Toph 'Sensei' rather than 'Sifu'

If Avatar was an anime....
...Aang would have to tense up his entire body and scream really really loud (till his veins pop) before he can reach Super Sayian level- oops the Avatar State.
