I catch the last few minutes now and then since my younger sibling watches it. It looks good and is pretty much an Anime I could say. Nickeoldeon has an anime, wow.

No, it's not anime, it's just "anime". It does look kind of good, though.

that makes no sense.

i guess i'm trying to find out what the original language is. originally japanese, and it's dubbed? or originally english?

It does make sense, this person is saying, it's not genuine anime, but corporate labeled "anime". It's a generic knockoff.

*Looks Up*

It doesn't look like anime at all. Thats like trying to call spongebob anime.

Even if it did look like anime you couldn't call it that as its not made in Japanese.

I watched a couple of episodes. I think its boring.

i thought it looked like anime, which is why i asked, but i'm so glad someone said something about how it's not anime if it isn't japanese. high-five for you.

The shows cleaning house on the cable Nelson's, so if I can believe the hype, I'll check it out. What time's it on?

EDIT: Nevermind, I checked it. 7:00 it is! Funny, that's when Survivor's on. Oh well.

Its Avatar: The Lat Airbender, no it is not dubbed it is just animated in Korea by the same studio that made Wonderful Days I beleive. Its just written and voiced here in the states. Its just Nickelodeons first endeavor intoa true action/story esque show. There shelling out a little over a 1 million dollars and episode, the animation is a bit rushed though for the first season since they had to finish it up rather fast, as you can see the framerate drops time to time...and well I'll just stop there.
I think its an good show so far, last episode wasn't that great though.

EDIT:
Forgot to mention this earlier, if you wanna catch up on the show tonights the night because there airing all four episodes in a row from the previous weeks, ok I'm out.

Wonderful days aint anime either. And it sucked :P

I never seen Wonderful Days, from the previews I saw I didn't like how they melded non cell shaded CG with the animation the result just looks stupid.

My sister is obsessed with this show.

I've only caught a few minutes of it, and I'm not thrilled with it.
No guns, no big sword fights..No go.
