Book 1: Air.. Apparently
Aang didn't bend a single droplet of water despite that being the core of the entire show... Him learning to master elements.
Gave it an extra point for Cabbage man.
Cabbage/10
Only partially in and I'll add as it goes on.
- He arrived in Northpole and Aang didn't do single moment of Waterbending.. Aka he's magically gonna learn it in the moment of need...
All the acting falls flat.. Almodt every single actor did an aweful job this episode... The only one who remains consistent is Iroh.
Sokka and the princess kissing out of nowhere
Lighting effect got introduced at a terrible moment on top of looking terrible
The longer the show goes on the more it seems to suffer from rushed content. It's slowly falling apart.
The biggest devation from the animated show yet. Not a bad deviation but it's stolen from 2 episodes from S2 so I wonder if we won't see it there.
Deviated material: Library spirits & Swamp truths.
I can't recall if the official lore of Zuko's crew is the same crew he got exiled over... But damn, it's the first devation from the original I really like.
The show feels more rushed every passing episode.
Not even sure what I'm looking at... 12 different camera angles per second.
It's like they wanna mimick hollywood dogshit camera work.
I can appreciate the mocking at it's time of creating... But it was barely funny.
As expected the more characters get introduced the lamer it becomes with an enforced status qo despite one clearly having a strong interest.
I really dislike the super good guy who can't choose.

A slow but very important episode. A first glimpse of why Zuko is who he is.
Decent episode with an anticlimactic ending with some dumb slide.
+1 for well integrated references of the original works.
Wouldn't surprise me if this episode isn't included on live television anymore.
God I hate this episode...
If this episode doesn't melt your heart and feel warm... Nothing will.
Leave to anime to see someone be punched through their abdomen only to be swung around like a toy with their intestines.
Half the supporting cast needs to be killed off. All plots outside the police stuff is dogshit.
At least Tim's character keeps it somewhat watchable.
Perfect intrudction for what it's trying to do.
Finally an anime that doesn't shy from brutal deaths in a fantasy setting.
A very predictable ending. As another user said it could have been handled better.
Feels a bit cheesy, instead of speeching for 10 minutes... Just say and do what you wanna do.
Seems to be common trope in later Danmachi... Talking for half the episode.
It's rare for the main cast to actually feel like they are in danger. I kinda hope they finish with at least 1 person dying... But it's unlikely.
Jezus christ this Cassandra is one annoying bitch. Hopefully she dies soon.
Bell just got an upgrade through a future prosthetic arm. I guarantee it.
I genuinely hope they aren't putting the Xenos back in the Dungeon. The entire plot device so far is them wanting to see the light of day.
They couldn't leave a death for longer than 60 seconds. Bleh. All was meaningless.
The first sign of an actual story... Why did this take 4 episodes..
I'm giving it one more episode after this but it feels like it's written by a teen who has no actually understanding of racism or war.
Same as before... It's really slow on the plot. It just feels like a worse version of Code Geass in terms of overarching plot.
As far as a first episode goes. It's not great... Uninteresting character introductions and it's clear what the plot it is.
Seems to be rated high enough to warrant a 3 episode time frame to develop the world building though.
Didn't like it. I dislike it when there's no driving force to progress. (villain?)
