Naruto. One Piece. Dragonball. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when The Big Three kept shounen anime fans together in harmony. But all of that changed when Nickelodeon attacked.

Avatar: The Last Airbender mastered all the elements: A collection of juvenile misfits forming a found-family, a journey of growth and self-discovery across the globe, and a mischievous but lovable boy saving the world with the power of friendship and cool ninja powers. AND, this was all being created by a Western studio. Only Avatar: The Last Airbender could save the world from the ruthless otaku claiming Western animation was not real anime. But when the world needed Avatar: The Last Airbender the most, it vanished.

Thirteen years have passed, and the boys at Debate This! have re-discovered Avatar: The Last Airbender. And although the world and its characters are great, it still has a lot to learn before it's ready to save a sub-standard premium streaming service. But we believe Avatar: The Last Airbender can save the world.

Welcome to the ongoing saga of Andrew's journey to catch up on One Piece, a landmark anime series notorious for both its exceptional quality and its 20+ year (and still going) run.
