Never reallly noticed how thet never show direct contact with body. They also never attack the face. But since most fights ae all about bending so who gives a crap. But it does sometines take away from the peril you know Mai not goona hit anyone with those knives right.
Of topic but this anime called bleach has the same problem. It has one guy pull out his sword tne he attacks the other guy offcreen while the screen turns to the sky and you see blood splashing on the screen or an arm or a leg or something. They barely ever show the guy actually getting hit. Not to mention sometimes the Anime will do horrible edits to the manga. Taking out the blood where tatsuki was being shot and replacing it with green goo and taking out the bleading from her head. Even adult cartoons do this and I notice it here more then avatar.
Mabey if??this was on Avatar was on cartoon netwok they could show violence. On toonami they could have blood and minor swearing. And on [adult swim] they could have anything they fukin' want outside of repeated use of F word uncensored and explict sex scenes.
Perssonally, I was amazed about how much they left uncut in Naruto. That that??I minded, but it's a one time thing. And I thought Bleach was going to show on Adult Swim. As for the manga-anime difference, yes they do cut out blood in the anime.
I don't think I would like this show so much if it was on Cartoon Network and A.S. Avatar is??my favorite??show on Nick??because of the style and characters, plot, etc. It's really the only one of its type on nick. Its specialness would go away.

The show is able to stand on it's own even without violence, it's got so much other great stuff to back it up. If you allow it to have excessive violence, the great story wouldn't be as promenant as it is now. All you'd see is blood and stuff. |
Exactly Avatar has been doing well even without violance I mean living off the streets and begaing for survival doesn't sound exiting at first but look how muc appeal it was given.

I second that! Or third it, or whatever. Because of its audience, Avatar can't resort to crude forms of entertainment, and therefore must entertain by plot and characters alone.
Much to the writer's credit, they are yet to insert any of the lame/gross gags that plague other kid's shows nowadays, even though they certainly could!

Have you seen Avatar fan art? Some of the themes in those pictures are pretty explicit .
I know exactly what you mean. Example; The Warriors of Kyoshi, Imprisoned, The Waterbending Scroll, Jet, The Blue Spirit, The Northern Airtemple, THE SIEGE OF THE NORTH , and that's just season 1! ah well.
EDIT: And i dont mean i want swearing or blood and gore. Just... a bit of reality in the battle scenes. How can you fight a war where none of the soldiers die?!?
