Why do so many anime fans call Avatar The Last Airbender an anime? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! If you've been in the anime community for a while, you've probably seen the argument between the fans who think Avatar The Last Airbender is an anime, and the ones who think it isn't. The show isn't an anime, so why is this an argument at all? Well, it's because the show was actually anime inspired. It wasn't made to be an anime, it was just inspired by anime. A lot of people think this is close enough, so they say it is an anime. However, I don't think it's wrong to just call it a cartoon instead. The creators never called it an anime, and it isn't really considered one by its fans. But if some fans think the art style is close enough to be an anime, I think they have a right to their opinion. This show is so close to using an anime art style that I think it's alright either way. Avatar The Last Airbender has introduced a lot of people to anime, so it's fine if people want to consider it one. I know I've said otherwise in the past, but that's just because I personally see it as a cartoon instead of an anime. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
