That is because you're a pedophile Nephthys.

Or it just doesn't provide enough and we have to be told that "Yes she would have been a good person if not for dear old dad." Keep in mind, being explicit enough that people can actually see the effect of the circumstances on the characters is kind of a good thing. I'd certainly rather have it that Azula's "I'm a bit of a *****, maybe I should change...moment's gone!"And keep in mind the argument of "If X had been loved by their parents, they might not have turned out so bad" was something that was almost said word by word about this fine piece of work in one of the books but I've never heard of him being considered sympathetic or tragic. Cause he's really not. I don't feel sorry for him, he's evil. I don't feel sorry for Azula, she's a psycho.

Yeah, I don't think it is very close at all. For me, Avatar has got the better plot and pacing, a higher number of interesting and developed characters, and better humor. Naruto fights are more fun to watch though, and while I do find Avatar's history and mythology extremely cool, I think Naruto's background mythos has the edge right now.Note that I am comparing it to the manga, not the Anime, which I find to be worse than the Manga in most areas except fight choreography.
And of course, female fighters are actually incredibly badass in Avatar. 313
That's wierd i kinda like both equally. true, Naruto has way too many fillers, but the Arc more than make up for them imo.
Also, What females were really epic besides Toph (favorite female by the way), Kitara, and Azula? Well, also that blood bending chick.
Naruto series had some decent females. Temari, Guren, Tsunade when she wants to be.

Ty Lee and throwing knives. Suki isn't really awesome.But hey, 5 good females is enough for a lot of people. Comparatively, Naruto has far fewer awesome girls...Though I can see some good arguments.
I never count her though since any of the the bender females I mentioned should handle her unless she somehow gets close.
I think Avatar is the better show, but it's not truly anime so some may use that as a disqualification.
Avatar has stronger characterization, plot, and plays with a lot of deep and profound meaning. A lot of the subtext in Avatar goes right over the heads of children because it's so complex and sophisticated. Avatar's characters are a lot more dynamic in my opinion.

Yeah, there are a few epiodes where it doesn't advance the plot, however these episodes almost alway deepened our understanding of a character and their motivations/history and provided dynamic development.

The Tale of Iroh gets my eyes wet every time.
Agreed. Not to mention Roku stating that Comet amped Fire Lord would be a match for a fully realized Avatar, only for Comet Amped Ozai to get his shit pushed in worse than Book 1 Zuko did.

Oh man, yeah. I remember that. When I watched that episode, my grandfather just died and Jiraiya was a strong grandfather type character for Naruto. Got to meh. pained
