Netflix’s live-action Avatar has its heart in the right place, but its pacing and uneven performances leave a lot to be desired.

Is Avatar even really anime though?

What, why not? We are talking about master of elements Avatar, not Pandora Avatar, right?

Yes, Avatar is an American creation in the style of Japanese animation in much the same way that Taco Bell is an American fast food chain in the style of Mexican tacos, burritos, etc.

Avatar is not a facade like Taco Bell, it's more like a chimichanga. An innovation that matches or exceeds the original design.
