Okay, I'm looking for a series that's similar to Avatar: the Last Airbender, not necessarily the storyline, but in some of the elements that make it so awesome:
1) Quest format (optional) - The protagonist goes through a journey and travels, meets people, new places, etc...I say it's optional because if a series fits for 2 and 3, then I can do without this one.
2) Character development - This is a big one for me. I love for the characters in my manga/anime to have a LOT of development. I want for them to be constantly changing or growing or improving in some way. And I want this change to be built up over a long period of time subtly until at one point you realize how far that character's come. I basically want the characters to have inner conflicts that they need to overcome to complete their quest. A really good example of this, I feel, is Sarasa from Basara.
3) Antihero - (I think this is what this character is called). This is your typical
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Zuko
kind of character (I've put his name in spoiler, just in case people haven't seen Avatar yet). This character has to be one of the main characters, and if he (has to be male) is the protagonist, even better! Someone who starts out bad, confused, unable to differentiate between right and wrong due to a pretty sketchy past, but then finds his way eventually and becomes an invaluable hero/member of the team. So I know it's a bit vague (sorry in advance), but any suggestions would totally make my day . I'm not picky about genre or style or anything like that.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
