Okay, so....my issues. I'm about five or six eps in. Is it just me, or did they totally switch animators and writers? And not in a good way?
The animation I can mostly deal with....but it seems 'cheaper' somehow...they've got the huge eyes far too often (and not just with surprise), and it just doesn't seem to have the depth it had before.
And the writing for the Beach ep? Ugh. I understand that Zuko is having issues, and the issues make a kind of sense, but the way he went about things seemed awfully out of character for him. Plus, the whole 'let's everyone spill our feelings' bit didn't seem in the true-Avatar vein either. It's like it's gone from being equally geared to adults and kids, to being geared strictly for the 8-to-12-year-old set. Blech.

But maybe that's just me.
