'Avatar: The Last Airbender' is an American animated fictional TV series created by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino and written by Aaron Ehasz.

'Avatar' is set in a fictional Asiatic world where people have the ability to manipulate the four elements, Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. The plot centers on the story of Aang, a 12-year-old boy who is the original Avatar, and we see his adventures in fighting against the oppressive Fire nation who sought to rule all the nations.

Despite having a similar style to anime, it is not deemed an anime primarily because anime is made in Japan, and the series wasn't. The series was discontinued from Netflix due to creative conflicts. Here is a list of some of the choicest Avatar quotes from the series and the film as well.
