Asong, the Most Powerful Avatar

Aang is the main character in the anime-cartoon TV Show - Avatar the Last Airbender. These series have been broadcasted over Nickelodeon's TV. Aang personage was created in accordance with Buddhist tradition, he was a vegetarian. It is the last Airbender and a Monk from his people. He was also the only one who was able to manipulate and control - Air, Land, Water, and Fire.

Although Aang looks like a twelve years old boy, but in fact, he is 112 years old! This is because he was frozen for one century, for one hundred years in the iceberg. That is why, his physical body is so maintained. He is 112 years old, but he not only looks like a twelve years old but often behaves as a twelve-year-old boy. He and his friends traveled across the world, with flying bison, which also, by the way, as well as Avatar was frozen for 100 years in the same iceberg, and he was also released in the same time as Aang.

When Aang was released, everyone realized that this is a new avatar, their savior, for which they were waiting for so long. Throughout the 100 years did not survive and won't show up any other Avatar, and suddenly appears this young boy, this Airbender. Of course people who have met him were a little disconcert that he is so young, but they were very happy that finally they will be saved from the Fire Nation tyranny. One old fisherman asked him, where have you been all those hundred years, we were so in need of your help.


When Avatar was frozen in the piece of ice, over all these 100 years, Fire Nation invaded and overwhelmed the whole world. They had invaded and overwhelmed the various villages where Land or Water nation people were living. And Aang's task was to liberate humans and restore the peace throughout the whole world. When he was traveling, he was also visiting various ancient temples. However, he was upset of their view, because they were empty and damaged.

Traveling and helping for people, Aang also wanted to learn how to manage and other elements. The air he managed very well so he wanted to learn to manage and all the rest: Earth, Water, and Fire. Furthermore, at the outset he didn't want to contribute to this world rescue mission, because he was known merely as a twelve-year-old boy. He had such a typical to that age child's wishes, desires. It was a very big responsibility, so at the beginning he was ruffling, but later he realized what kind of power he owns and how much humans needs his help.


When traveling, the Avatar and his friends have an opportunity to know each other more closely. Though Avatar and was saving the world, he was, nevertheless, a 12 year old boy, and from time to time made mistakes, too. There was a situation where he lacked of attention of his friends, and he hided from them very important information, a map, to return and get their attention. However, when it revealed, friends were very angry and segregated with him. Aang was left only with his bison and prepared to continue his journey without friends, but has arisen from a situation, that for Avatar and his friends had to join forces against the evil, and of course at the end, when everything is over, they are all reconciled.

Most of the anime series covers a suspense story and a bit scary for little children. That is why most of its viewers are teenagers and other adults.

Sorry for the loss of One Piece, frankly speaking, I think this is the best one. And it is the first choice for my cosplay cons. And there are many classic anime series which I forgot to mark. You know, it is not a easy work to work all the things out.
