Just finished watching the live action and i absolutely loved it. This is best in quality and Albert Kim (program creator) proved he’s a fan. This show got everything and felt bit of rushed from the cartoon. But they beautifully condensed the story we saw on 20 episodes into 8 episodes. Gordon Cormier portrayed Aang so well. I felt him like Aang because he had the responsibility(convince the fans) to carry out this role at this young age. This show doesn’t have fun elements as like in animation, but it felts so realistic to the new audience. Hopefully this series could bring more viewers to the original series. There are many sequences which are only on the book are shown and it makes more sense to the story. Netflix should bring the next season soon before the cast gets more old. I know the creators of this show left Netflix due to creative differences, but Netflix did a good job.
Perhaps they were speaking more broadly about anime/managa in general and that got lost due the lack of a transition between subjects?
That or they just have no idea what their talking about. Typically comics and books do come before the TV show, so I can see the confusion if you havnt been following along. If you handed someone all of the Avatar media and asked which came first, most would probably guess the 4 books.
Edit, I reread the comment...
Never mind they're making shit up, but I suppose their point about "original" stands.
No, sorry, I mixed it up with Inuyasha, which was my favourite anime at the time. I just rewatched the English dub recently, and remember thinking how the dub was panned hard.
