Melodic Mondays: Avatar: The Last Airbender Theme Song

So I’m kind of, sort of, maybe-a-little-bit obsessed with this show, lol. I’d heard about it a bunch of times, tried to watch the movie a few years ago—aaaand got about five minutes in before I just shut the thing off because seriously. Then three of my best friends were all “You have to watch the show!” So I watched the show because I’m a wonderful person and I like to make my friends happy. ;) Anyways, it still took a while before I got super into Avatar, but let’s just say that, fast forward a couple months, and I am really rather obsessed.

My favorite part about this show is the characters. They’re all so fun and fascinating and hilarious and complicated and broken-hearted in various degrees, from the normal crap of everyday life that’s just there to help you grow to SERIOUSLY, BABY, CAN I HUG YOU, PLEASE????? (come to think of it, I think all people are broken-hearted in various degrees, and the show does a brilliant job of showing that, and that’s probably why I love it so much). There are just so many layers to each and every character, so much lighthearted cuteness supplemented by feelings, so much, not necessarily terrible, but perfect-for-the-character backstory to every single one. And that—their absolute beauty—is what draws me to the show the most. These kids are just too gorgeous (as characters/people, not necessarily looks), and I desperately want happy endings for them all.

So... let’s talk about characters. Who are some of your favorites, on TV specifically? What about them draws you, captivates you, snags your heart and sprints away with it? Do you watch any animes? If so, what’s your favorite? I’ve only seen Avatar and FMA:B (which I majorly fanned about here), but having discovered the awesomeness that is anime, I see many more bright-eyed, strangely durable, adorable little crazies in my future.

Ooh, I don't watch that show, but that music is pretty cool! -makes mental note that it would make good writing music-

I love this show! I watched through all 3 (is it 4?) seasons I think 2 times. It's still amazing!

My favorite character has to be Katara. She is a strong, determined girl who cares for others and wants to help any chance she gets. I love the fact that she isn't strictly determined (like Korra in 'the Legend of Korra...-_- I have mixed feelings about that show, but that's for a later topic), but she isn't a cry-baby. I also like the way her outfits change over the course of the seasons. And that ending... but that is for a later topic. :3 :P

I have to say, I never got into anime...my favorite TV show is Parks & Rec. All the way. I've been told I'm like Leslie Knope, which is kind of true ;) I just love how she gets so excited about everything!

Ooh, woah, that is some great writing music! Ah, that was so awesome! I love reading how excited you get about this show! :D

Hmm, usually if the character is funny, I will be hooked. :D I don't really watch much anime, but I used to love reading Manga comics (and trying [read: failing] to draw Manga)! Ahhh! :D Have you ever thought about trying to draw your fave characters from this show? :))
