At the beginning of Avatar the Last Airbender: Book 3 Fire, Vol. 3, things don't go quite the way one would have hoped at the end of Vol. 2. Aang--the young avatar--and his companions Katara, Toph, and Sokka were part of a major assault on the tyrannical fire nation, and hopes of victory were high. In "The Day of Black Sun, Part 2: The Eclipse," however, circumstances reverse the heroes' fortunes, forcing Aang, his friends and the very youngest warriors to flee the battle. As they regroup at the Western Air Temple, mourning the expected imprisonment of the adults left behind, Aang comes face to face with an unexpected, would-be ally: Zuko, prince of the fire nation. Sokka and Katara refuse to accept Zuko's guarantee that he is truly on their side (they've been through this before), but Toph and Aang are a little more receptive to the idea. Good thing. In "The Firebending Masters," Aang accepts that Zuko could be the firebending mentor he needs to show him how to conquer the most elusive of the four elements. But it isn't easy: Zuko loses his power and must retreat to a fire nation temple, where he can learn the origins of his native gift. The set of five stories on this disc concludes with the two-part "The Boiling Rock," in which Sokka and Zuko infiltrate a fire nation maximum security prison in hopes of freeing Sokka's father. Trying hard to stay clandestine, Zuko's identity is revealed anyway, jeopardizing not only the mission but Zuko and Sokka's very freedom. The excitement is endless in the long-running Avatar series, and developments (especially Zuko's acceptance by Aang and the others) are as heartening as they are surprising. --Tom Keogh

 Avatar Book 3 Volume 3 September 20, 2008
Eddie C. Edwards (OK, USA)
The story takes a strange twist as Zuko joins the Avatar team and Aang begins to learn fire bending. The journeys of the team show the maturity of the team as they face the certain knowledge that the comet is getting close and Aang and the Fire Lord will have to face each other so that the balance of the world can be restored.
 TV's Best July 8, 2008
John Bobek (Chicago, IL USA)
The entire Avatar series has been a rare glimpse of TV's seemingly abandoned potential. The series has characters that are wholly believable despite it being a cartoon. It's beautifully illustrated, fast paced, with a compelling story. I can't praise it too highly. I want the next DVD!!!

Zuko joins the Avatar July 8, 2008

This DVD shows five episodes, including, Part 2 of the attack on the Fire Nation. The solar eclipse blocks the Firebenders' powers. The Water tribes and Earth Kingdom join forces during this window of opportunity to strike back at the Fire Lord.
Zuko finally comes around and joins the Avatar Team. Aang, Kitara, Sokka, Toph, are also joined by Haru, and couple of other characters from previous episodes. One great benefit to Zuko joining the team, the episode doesn't cut between two separate story lines.
Zuko's first problem is convincing Aang and company that he really has changed and wants to help the Avatar bring balance back to the world.
Aang accepts Zuko as his firebending teacher, only one problem, Zuko has lost his firebending power. He needs to find a new source, other than rage and anger, to fuel his power. Aang and Zuko go on a quest together to find the true source of Firebending power. (We also learn how Toph learned to be such a powerful Earthbender.)
The last two episodes on this DVD involve Zuko and Sokka. They have some dialog together talking about their ex girlfriends. Sokka is on a quest to rescue his Dad, a Waterbender, from a Fire Nation prison.
And, we finally find out what happened to Suki. The last we saw of her was on Appa's lost day.
The voice of Zuko, is played by Dante Brasco.
I recognized the voice of Sokka as the brother on Hannah Montanna. I can't remember his name, sorry.
The voice of Avatar Aang is Zack Eisen. I recognized his voice from the Antz movie.
The artwork in this anime is stunning. It's on par with movies like 'Spirited Away'.
I'm 44, a little out of the demographic, but I positively find myself enraptured by this series and am looking forward to the next Volume.
It just keeps getting better! June 28, 2008
the Christor (new jersey)
This DVD features The Day of Black Sun Part 2, and 4 unaired episodes. Characters come back, and new friends are made. These episodes are the best so far in season 3. The episodes are great, and the audio commentary is insightful and worth listening to. You should already have this if you call yourself an Avatar fan.
Avatar Book (Season) 3 Rocks June 23, 2008
John Snow (Chandler, Arizona)
My entire family has been watching 2-3 episodes of Avatar everynight. It is great family fun for the summer, and as much as we all enjoy talking about the story, the character development and the choices they make take center stage. How to choose between good and evil, between your own interest and helping your friends (or strangers for that matter), between your feelings and your values: This is what sets Avatar apart from ordinary conventional cartoons. The end of "The Boiling Rock, Pt. 2" just blew us away.
That said, we are all screaming in agony over having to wait until the end of July to see how things turn out. In the meanwhile, we're going back to Book One and watch from the very beginning.
