Thanks for the suggestions Oak, take care!

I believe that is actually correct!

I'm probably making spurious connections here, but is Appa named after the fact that Aang gave him an apple when they first met? (Also, in Re: Zero, apples were called appas).

Such a good episode! This episode actually won awards for it's depiction of animal cruelty. One of my favorite moments is when the guru asks Appa if he can attach the message to his horn. It's such a simple thing, but after all the suffering Appa went through, for someone to do a kindness like that helps to build mutual trust. I do feel like this is one of the earlier western animations to do what it does, which is tell a complete and continuous story, rich with great character writing. Another great western animation is BoJack Horseman. Unlike Avatar it is not a kids show, but it has some of the best character writing I've ever seen. It's a similar length to Avatar and I highly recommend it for the poll when Avatar ends. Adding this, after The Legend of Korra hopefully.
