Becoming an Avatard, as Jade might call it
A whole subculture of my F-List was posting about Avatar: The Last Airbender, finishing the shows and so on.
I had watched the first episode early last year (? maybe?) and never got back to it, so I figured now was the time to buck up and do it.
I'd mistakenly said something about it being the American voice acting that bothered me the first time--this is true of any anime I watch, anyway. I'd rather watch it in Japanese, even if the casting is usually obvious. It may be partly that it weirds me out to see Japanese people speaking in English, or something--being stubborn, as if I understand the original language's intent that didn't have to be translated.
Actually, it's the animation of Avatar that sorta bothers me--the exaggerated expressions for some reason niggle at me ways the Japanese animation exaggerations don't. (The ones that I've seen.) I didn't grow up on American cartoons, so I'm just not accustomed? I guess.
Anyway. It's a perfect match for me now I can knit. I don't have to look at any expression for long, as I glance down at what I'm doing.
