While there was an uptick in the premieres near the end of the last season, the reruns don't tend to do so hot. Since nick has all but cancelled every other current nicktoon, except spongebob(*), and most of them get equal of better ratings than avatar...Don't be disapointed if the planned third season 'book of fire' doesn't materialize. [*] The X's is still up in the air but I doubt it will be renewed. By cancelled I mean, no more episode ordered and being made. Nick likes to hold onto episodes and not premier them very often. Cartoon Network is still a better network in every way, and respect their viewers more. ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Miyazaki's movies should be required watching, especially for young girls as his heroines tend to be plucky young women who take of things themselves. I will say that, as someone whose seen most of his movies, you can get a slight sense of deja vu watching Howl, since he likes to hit certain themes repeatedly and it appears that he hires the same guy to do his movies' scores every time. >Avatar: The Last Airbender is excellent considering its target >audience. I watched the season 2 premier last night with my son. Friday night has become as unlikely a TV Night at my house as I'd ever have thought. My whole family loves Avatar. I especially like how they have generally managed to avoid making their characters into some of the stock cliches you might expect. For example, Sokka could have been just dopy comic relief, and while my kids enjoy how he is often the butt of the sight gags, he's not a useless clown, which is where I think many animators would go. Avatar certainly seems to be a labor of love, and as long as it remians profitable for Nick, hopefully they won't tinker with it. It's good to have a "transitional" cartoon from the kiddie stuff to more mature works, I think.

Both endings are *a* ending, but not *the* ending, if you catch my drift. Strictly speaking, the manga is canon by the usual reckoning of these things, and both the TV series ending and the movie are not in the manga, so take them as you will. Myself, I would've been perfectly happy if Shamballa never came out, as it wasn't very good. ~maru ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

My comrades dislike the episode, as they feel it makes for a lousy ending, but I think it is beautifully tragic and ironic (though I never can get over how throughout the entire series, Winry gets screwed over. Poor Winry...) Discuss this among yourselves. ~Maru ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
