Thank you! Oh, and I got some lame visuals, too. Not to be taken seriously. Sokka would look like this when he's scared/freaked out. Sokka would look like this most of the time, like Brock. Aang is self-explanitory. Although I think Iroh would look better with Brock eyes. XD More on the way! XD Lol, very true, if it would be anime, Katara's lines in her fight with Zuko would include like three or four times the line"I won't forgive Fire Nation/you for taking away my mom!".

I could definatly see Sokka as Brock XD Now I keep picturing Azula, Ty-Lee, and Mai singing that Team Rocket song with whacked out accents.

And actually most of these I (and others have) post don't just apply to the more popular animes (Naruto, DBZ, Inuyasha) but seem to apply to a Wwwwwwwhhhhhhhhoooooollllllllleeeee lot of other anime. As well as manga and Japanese video game RPGs. So I don't see much of a problem. I dunno, I'd disagree with that, most of the anime I watch aren't much like that at all. Most of the stereotypes (really long fight scenes, heaps of pointless backstory that interrupts the fight scenes and makes them even longer, useless girls with big boobs, ridiculously long episode titles, long transformation sequences, long intimidation scenes before a fight, pointless banter, etc.) appear in popular shounen and shoujo anime (Naruto, DBZ, Inuyasha, Sailor Moon, etc.) And you guys are scaring all the people who don't watch anime.

what type of animes have u guys seen not all of them are this stupid the way u guys make it sound like...oh i feel so insulted........ughhhhhhhhhhh Amberwaves, I know it sounds like we all hate Anime, but this is all in good fun. I think we are more pocking fun of the cliches of Anime (mainly those of the shoen) rather than insulting them. And you got to admit, only those who watch enough Anime to notice these trends are the ones having the most laughs. Back on Topic If Avatar were an Anime - Ozai would actually be Sozen whose been jumping between body to body in order to stay alive via Naruto/FMA - After every major fight, Aang would be asleep for three days before he recovers - Everyone except for Aang would be useless in a fight against a villian - In the Crossroads of Destiny every member of GAang would have gotten their butts handed to them by Azula. When all seemed lost/last possible second before she killed them all Aang would make some dramatic entrance. During this said rescue everyone will notice how super calm Aang is and are in complete disbelief on how much stronger Aang became from his Avatar training in such a short period of time.

I kind of disagree with you. I think Avatar is a real anime. know why? They animate it in South Korea. Its asian. Just aired in america with american voices. If its animated in asia its an anime. Nuff said. But you make good points too. But your talking generally, not individually. Just watch an anime like Slayers and you'll see what I mean.^___^ Slayers girls are not in destress and there is so much funnyness going on and its originally aired in Japan but was brought over here, i know avatar was made here first, but still. They are very much a like in scope. Check it out.^^

I haven't read this whole topic so if I said what someone else has already said then I apologize in advance. I know someone already said the tournament so I won't say that.
- There'll be some sort of riddle masters that the gAang will have to fight in order to proceed to the next "stage."
- The end fight with the Fire Lord against Aang will not end in a climatic fight to the finish but, instead, it will end in a "duel" or a "card game." Ok, -_-, that was mainly aimed at YU-GI-OH.
- There might be a "meaning of life" thrown in to make the story "deeper."
- 100 episodes will be dedicated to filler.

Cute thread guys... though I hope people do know that there are other animes other than Naruto, Bleach, FMA, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon and DBZ... My contribution:- There is at least one episode where Aang accidentally walked in while Katara is changing or Bathing... XD

Yes, we (or most of us) know that. But that still doesn't change the fact that most other animes, manga and Japanese RPGs that haven't even been released in the US have at least one of these numerous cliches mentioned. Even Slayers, which I love, is not immune to these cliches. i.e. the super powerful redhead; a big honkin' chested woman; a powerful blonde guy So take it easy everyone. No (great) ill will if we touch a nerve. Oh and anime = animation = any cartoon in existence. XD XD XD XD Cute thread guys... though I hope people do know that there are other animes other than Naruto, Bleach, FMA, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon and DBZ... My contribution:- There is at least one episode where Aang accidentally walked in while Katara is changing or Bathing... XD And then Aang would have a big honkin' nosebleed. XD

Avatar has anime parts, like the times when the characters suddenly become extremely stylized, etc. But it's really playing homage/parodying anime. It avoids clichés that plague even great anime/manga like Rurouni Kenshin, or as we know it Samurai X. They do have an element of ridiculousness, like a lot of japanese inventions.
Oh and Naruto sucks, i'm sorry but it's dumb.

^meh, some people like it others don't. EDIT: Anime sucks, Manga is good.
Anyways, if Avatar were an anime...
Instead of fans suffering from long months of no avatar, we have to put up with every day of fillers.

If Avatar was an anime, it would be dubbed. Probably by 4Kids.
*wonders where the 'If Avatar was dubbed by 4Kids' thread is* o.o
