    Basically, anything on the show. I like the choice of characters, the storyline/plots, the action/battle scenes, and the slight humor in it (although some are too corny).

    I love how their able to get you to relate to the most unlikely characters. When I first watched Avatar, I thought it was good, but not AMAZINGLY good like I do now. But then, I started noticing dicrepencies with Zuko's character and the traits of a true villain. As I found more, I began to fully understand the position he was in, and the inner conflict that must go on his head when making all the hard decisions he has to do. Any show that allows you to feel empathy for and relate to what was the villain at the time is truly good. Too many shows nowadays have a villain that is evil just for the sake of being evil, which is just absurd.

    (BTW, I like Naruto for the same reasons)

    I watched the first episode, thought "what a retarted idea", but the mroe episodes I saw the better they got. I still don't really like any of the first ten but tSAT and KoM, espicially because they all had stupid and annoying jokes in them, but I still kind of like most of those ten, and all the rest!

    I chose "layered story lines / creative plot" because I've seen things where at least one of the other choices were prominent, but were otherwise less-than-satisfying. I enjoy AtLA so heartily basically because it's an animated fantasy soap opera without rampant instances of betrayal.
