The series is centered around the journey of twelve-year-old Aang, the current Avatar and last survivor of his nation, the Air Nomads, along with his friends Katara, Sokka, and later Toph, as they strive to end the Fire Nation's war against the other nations of the world. The series is presented in a style that combines anime with United States cartoons and relies on the imagery of mainly East Asian culture, with some South Asian, New World, and Inuit and Sireniki influences. The only individual who can bend all four elements, the 'Avatar', is responsible for maintaining harmony among the world's four nations, and serves as the bridge between the physical world and the spirit world. Īvatar is set in an Asiatic-inspired world in which some people can telekinetically manipulate one of the four elements-water, earth, fire or air-through practices known as 'bending', inspired by Chinese martial arts.

It aired on Nickelodeon for three seasons, from February 2005 to July 2008. It was co-created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, with Aaron Ehasz serving as head writer. Avatar: The Last Airbender (abbreviated as ATLA), also known as Avatar: The Legend of Aang in some regions, is an American anime-influenced animated television series produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios.
