Avatar: The Last Airbender is an American animated television series that aired for three seasons (referred to as “books” in each episode’s title card) on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in an Asiatic world in which some people are able to manipulate the classical elements by use of psychokinetic variants of Chinese martial arts, known as “bending”. The show combines the styles of anime and American cartoons, and relies on the imagery of various East Asian, Inuit, Southeast Asian, South Asian, and New World societies.

The series follows the adventures of protagonist twelve-year-old Aang, the Avatar, and his friends, who must bring peace and unity to the world by ending the Fire Lord’s war against the other three nations.

In 2012, a sequel, The Legend of Korra, aired in Nickelodeon, set 70 years after the end of the series.
