List of episodes

Season One of Avatar: The Last Airbender (also known as Book 1: Water), an American animated television series, began airing February 21, 2005, and ended on December 2, 2005, after a total of twenty episodes aired. Created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, and starring Zach Tyler Eisen, Mae Whitman, and Dante Basco as the character voices, 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, so that Aang will hopefully 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. However, along the way he is chased by various pursuers, which include Prince Zuko, the Fire Nation prince, and Admiral Zhao.

The season showed a promising start for the show, winning Best TV Series in the 2005 Pulcinella Awards. When the show began with this season, it attracted more than a million viewers every Friday when the show aired a new episode, earning the title of best animated television series in its demographic.[1] The show is completely animated, eliminating the need for live-action actors. The plot itself not only follows Aang's journey to the North Pole but also his numerous side trips and distraction, which usually lead to some revelation of his past or just a fun mini-adventure like in "Warriors of Kyoshi" (see below).[2] The season concludes when the gang reaches the North Pole, where Aang and Katara learn Waterbending before fighting a battle against the Fire Navy to prevent the Fire Nation from capturing the North Pole and, therefore, conquering the only major Water Tribe civilization left (other than the Southern Water Tribe, which is shown to be not as modernized as the Northern Tribe).[3]

Production

Creating episodes

The process begins with the script. Once the script has been thoroughly edited and completed, the voices for the episode are recorded in order to let the storyboard artists listen to the episode as a guide to make the job easier. However, the voices for creatures such as Momo and Appa are recorded after everything is done.[22] Generally, when the storyboards are done, the jobs are split evenly among four teams of designers.[23] While the storyboards are scanned into the computer, the designers get to work on any new characters while some staff members get Kung Fu lessons to help make the show's fight scenes realistic.[24] Finally, after all the final editing is done, the tape is given to The Track Team, the band that plays the music for the show, in order to add music to certain portions of the episode.[25]
