*grins* Vathara is the reason I went out and devoured Monochrome Factor (which, incidentally, I recommend highly--the manga anyway, the anime is a desecration).
Avatar is indeed good, though the voice acting is... well, it's US voice acting. It improves over time, though. There's a rather odd double aspect to it. Half of it is a kid's show, with the kind of exaggerated moral slapstick one expects from a Western kid's cartoon. The other half is animated Greek drama, all angst and high drama and family tragedies and such. Sometimes the pace shifts from one to the other a bit abruptly. Definitely worth watching, though.
