Avatar: the last airbender

Hey, so, I'm new to the whole Avatar world and I'm gonna go watch the movie when it comes out 'cause of Jackson Rathbone, but, now, I'm kinda intrigued about the whole story, can anyone give me a low down on what the Last Airbender acually is? Was it a...

book or a series, I dunno?

Thanks

I belive it was a japanese Manga series ( Our comic books. ) That got turned into a japanese anime, And then we re-did the show and screwed it up... ( I watched japanese episodes until I couldn't find anymore.. 10x better :/ )

it is a series and book...but there isn't anymore episodes 4 it,so can always buy the seasons,oh and its a really cool show^^

It is sorta like a comic book like series. Then they turned it into a show. But there are no more episodes for it (new episodes) because they had the last episode where they ended about maybe 1-2 years ago. So you should buy the series to catch up on what you missed. The Last Air Bender is about a boy named Ang and he is the only Air Bender left in the world because the Fire Nation attacked all the otheres. Yet, he survived because he ran away to the ocean and enclosed himself in a giant iceberg. Then. a hundreds of years later, 2 people found him and told what time period it was and what happend to the air nation. They are now helping him to master fire bending, water bending, earth bending, and air bendering to become the next avitar and stop the fire nation.

Just to add to Cenafan 101. Aang also meets 2 people from the water-nation. Katara, who can waterbend and her brother Sokka. They travel to help Aang but the Prince Zuko and his uncle are behind them. Zuko needs to capture Aang to reagain his honour and return the fire nation (He got banished earlier because he was too sweet). They also meet a girl called Toph who is blind and teaches Aang earthbending. There is more but I don't want to spoil it for you.

wow, great, thank you guys, I shall definately check out the series
