Do you think Avatar the Last Airbender is anime?

[minimutt]

i'd consider it one i mean it is good to watch  

[moroseconcept]

I think "Avatar" is like like ameri-manga, only in anime form; It's got a lot of simialar qualities to actual anime that make its Japanese vs American "heritage" (for lack of better word) debatable.

Either way, I'd have to think that the show is going downhill now that Aang has given up his love for Katara. Domo will eat Aang!!! domokun

To be honest I haven't a clue! In one respect it looks Anime but on the other hand it is American...hmmm it's a tough one! I suppose I'd be inclined to say it isn't "proper" anime, but an Anime style cartoon.

Hmm it's a toughy!

Some mistakes to what you think...

1. it was made in America by Americans

Avatar's animation is done in Korea but the storyline and plot is from America.

2. it does have a japanese version of it

No... Avatar is not truely considered Anime since it's not from Japan but it's still enjoyable.

3. it has a crappy toy and accessory line

wtf does that have to do with the point that if it's anime or not. Animes usually have figurines as to our american toys.

Avatar may be really close to anime but you can be easily confused. Though I am amazed that it's "Nick" that's producing it. It's the company that produced the half-assed Spongebob-Squarepants...
The storyline and plot are really good just as most anime. I would recommend watching it in your spare time.

I stoped watching it like a long time ago... I only caught a few episodes and jumped into the recent. For some reason it feels that you can watch any episode and know what it is. :/

-edit- Rittxbey is right about the anime part =D

Its really close in my opinion,if it ever gets added to adult swim it will be.

I wouldn't say it's directly anime, but as it was said before, it has anime-like qualities.
