Original... well, not so much, as Avatar is built upon a number of archetypal story points and characters. However, it's a LOT more interesting than I'd given it credit for.Rich Handleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518834609085323345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995465347911121220.post-20269125388503341982011-01-14T09:34:24.123-08:002011-01-14T09:34:24.123-08:00I always knew you'd like this!

I think it's OK to call things not Japanese "Anime", it is a French word after all. I gave ep 1 a look get my own perspective on your review. It's OK, but I'm not getting the epic. Then again, I get that with most anime series. It was certainly better than I was expecting which was probably more Dragonball or Pokemon. The sight gags are very anime, though, the style that they have in even some of the adult stuff. They'd appeal to kids, sure, but I'm not sure that's why there's there.Duggyhttp://unmadesf.wikia.com/wiki/Unmade_SF_Wikinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995465347911121220.post-47558531056655304502011-01-13T20:17:30.253-08:002011-01-13T20:17:30.253-08:00I'll have to pick up the books--thanks for the...I'll have to pick up the books--thanks for the heads up!Rich Handleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518834609085323345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995465347911121220.post-62018269755380681192011-01-13T18:42:17.658-08:002011-01-13T18:42:17.658-08:00I've been watching this with Kate for a while....I've been watching this with Kate for a while.
