Avatar, cartoon and anime (TGWTG)

The following comment is on: How in the F? Avatar: The Last Airbender Part 1 on That Guy With The Glasses

I am a big anime fan and just started watching Avatar (I'm at the end of season 2 right now)

And you know what? Once I finish Avatar and go back to anime, I know I'll miss the fluid animations, the lip-sync, even the body language, something so simple no one notices, but makes a huge difference to make a real human.

As an Otaku, I have to say today's anime is waaay behind what Avatar did to animation. It's truly something else, it's not only unique but WELL DONE.

You know, there's anime, there's cartoon, american style, japanese style. Avatar really is the AVATAR, mastering every element. It's NOT anime, but it's NOT cartoon either. It's something new everyone should learn from.

Kinda cool to think of it this way 

Too bad Avatar was an exception. And I don't see it becoming the rule.

*Also "Tales of Ba Sing Se" and it's homage to Mako was just beautiful
