I love this show, it is like an anime fans dream come true! I was a fan of anime before I discovered this show, and I love it as both its own epic story, and as a love letter to all the great anime that inspired it. But there are some things about the show that seem a little too "inspired." namely the character designs. Some of them seem lifted right out of the anime that inspired them, but only a truly hardcore anime fan will notice them. Aang bears a slight resemblance to Naota from FLCL Katara looks similar to Nadia from Nadia of the blue water (an obscure Gainax anime from the guy that would go on to create Evangelion) Sokka-the dad from FLCL (with a little bit of Mugen from Samurai Champloo thrown in) Suki-Momimi from FLCL Azula-Lady Eboshi from Princess mononoke Jet- Spike from Cowboy Bebop/Mugen from Samurai champloo Combustion Man-Jet Black from Bebop Ty-lee- Fuu from Samurai Champloo This is just me nit-picking though, the show takes what has come before and blended it in such a way that is fresh and new. Despite all the shout out to the anime that inspired bryke.
