Season One of Avatar: The Last Airbender (also known as Book 1: Water), an American animated television series, began on February 21, 2005,[1] and ended on December 2, 2005,[2] with twenty episodes aired. It was created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko with Zach Tyler Eisen, Mae Whitman, and Dante Basco as the starring voice actors.[3] The season focuses on the main character, Aang, and his journey alongside his friends, Katara and Sokka, to fly to the North Pole and find a Waterbending master to teach Aang and Katara. This is with the hope that Aang will be able to defeat Fire Lord Ozai, the current Fire Lord of the Fire Nation, and end the seemingly endless war between the four nations. Along the way he is chased by various pursuers including Prince Zuko, the banished Fire Nation prince, and Admiral Zhao.[4]

Season 1 won Best TV Series in the 2005 Pulcinella Awards.[5] It attracted more than a million viewers each time the show aired a new episode, and earned the title of best animated television series in the boys 9-14 year old demographic.[6] The season was completely animated and did not feature any live-action actors. The plot follows Aang's journey to the North Pole while including numerous side trips and distractions; usually leading to a revelation of his past through a fun mini-adventure like in "Warriors of Kyoshi".[7] The season concludes when the group reaches the North Pole, where Aang and Katara learn Waterbending.[8]

Between January 4, 2006 and September 19, 2006, five DVD sets were released in the United States, each containing four episodes from the season.[9][10] A couple days before the release of the fifth volume, Nickelodeon released the "Complete Book One Collection Box Set", which contained all of the episodes in the season as well as a special features disc.[9][10] The original releases were encoded in Region 1, a DVD type that usually plays only in American DVD players. A couple of months later, Nickelodeon released Region 2 DVDs, which can play in Europe.[11]

[edit] Production

The show was produced by and aired on Nickelodeon, which is owned by Viacom.[3] The show's executive producers were co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, who worked alongside episode director and co-producer Aaron Ehasz.[3][12] A bulk of the individual episodes were directed by Dave Filoni.[12] However, some episodes were directed by Lauren MacMullan, Giancarlo Volpe, and Anthony Lioi, all known as animation directors.[3] Episodes were written or co-written by a team of writers, which consisted of Nick Malis, John O'Bryan, Matthew Hubbard, James Eagan, Ian Wilcox, Tim Hedrick, Elizabeth Welch Ehasz, and others.[13] All of the show's music was composed by "The Track Team", which consists of Jeremy Zuckerman and Benjamin Wynn,[3] who were hired since the former was co-creator Bryan Konietzko' roommate.[14]

Most of the show's main characters made their debut in the beginning of this season. Zach Tyler Eisen and Mae Whitman voiced as protagonists Aang and Katara, with Jack DeSena as Sokka.[3] Dante Basco and Mako starred as antagonists Zuko and Iroh,[3] though their role in the show would begin to change near the end of the season.[15] Aang's animal companions, Appa and Momo, were both voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.[13] In the third episode of the season, a new enemy to both Aang and Zuko, Admiral Zhao,[16] was voiced by Jason Isaacs.[13] About halfway through the season, Aang and his friends encounter Jet,[17] who was voiced by Crawford Wilson.[13]

[edit] Reception

The first season of Avatar has been critically claimed for its ability to reach "an audience beyond the children's market with crisp animation and layered storytelling."[18] Lesley Aeschliman from Helium.com, a peer reviewed citizen journalism website, also "enjoy[s] the storytelling of this series" and says "the ending of each episode leaves you wanting to see more."[19] Also from Helium.com, Nicki Marks remarked:

Typically kids shows are based solely on humor and have plot lines that only carry through that specific episode. Some minor characters do reoccur from time to time, but for the most part there is no real connection from episode to episode. The show can go on as long as people are interested.[20]

As for the video and picture quality, Gord Lacey from TVShowsOnDVD.com, a site dedicated to reporting and reviewing DVDs, claims "the colors are bright, and the picture is nearly flawless." He says later in the review that "the audio is very nice, with lots of directional effects and nice musical cues."[21]

According to Aaron Bynum from AnimationInsider.com, "the series posted double digit year-to-year gains in May", and that the show has been number one in the boys 9-14 year old demographic, as well as attracting many others in its pool of 1.1 million viewers who watch the show each time it airs a new episode.[6] In addition, the season has won many awards throughout its runtime. During the 33rd Annual Annie Awards, the show was nominated for the "Best Animated Television Production" award. Because of the episode "The Fortuneteller", the show was nominated for the "Writing for an Animated Television Production" award. For the episode "The Deserter", the season was nominated for and won the "Storyboarding in an Animated Television Prodcution" award.[22] During the 2005 Pulcinella Awards, the season won the "Best Action/Adventure TV Series" award as well and the general "Best TV Series" award.
