Avatar: The Last Airbender (Avatar: The Legend of Aang in some
regions) is an American animated television series created by Michael
Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, with Aaron Ehasz as head writer.
It aired on Nickelodeon for three seasons, from February 2005 to July
2008. Avatar is set in an Asiatic-like world in which some people can
manipulate one of the four elementsâ€"water, earth, fire, or
airâ€"with telekinetic variants of the Chinese martial arts known as
"bending". The only individual who can bend all four elements, the
"Avatar", is responsible for maintaining harmony between the world's
four nations, and serves as the bridge between the spirit world and
the physical world. The show is presented in a style that combines
anime with American cartoons, and relies on the imagery of mainly East
Asian culture, with some South Asian, New World, and Inuit and
Sireniki influences.The series is centered around the journey of
12-year-old Aang, the current Avatar and last survivor of his nation,
the Air Nomads, along with his friends Sokka, Katara, and later Toph,
as they strive to end the Fire Nation's war against the other nations
of the world. It also follows the story of Zukoâ€"the exiled prince of
the Fire Nation, seeking to restore his lost honor by capturing Aang,
accompanied by his wise uncle Irohâ€"and later, that of his ambitious
sister Azula.
