(Also on Tumblr: [link] )

This is my published research paper on how Avatar: The Last Airbender utilized production and marketing techniques similar to successful Japanese anime from the 80s and 90s. I am not suggesting that this was done intentionally, but rather that it is a coincidence that shows the techniques have merit and cross-over potential that makes it worthwhile to take a long hard look at how and why Japan does certain things, what Avatar did in the states, and what we can all learn in the industry by studying the successes and failures.

I even called someone on the phone and did a phone interview for this thing! Baby’s first real research paper.

The new version has illustrations and also I reformatted the text a bit, in the hopes that it would look nicer. If you downloaded it before, I highly recommend you get this version instead.
