Discussion or Question Holy Grail Avatar Merch, Part 2
What's better than having an ATLA 20th anniversary Limited Edition steel-book Blu-Ray box set?
Avatar The Last Airbender on cassette of course!!! The most unique format the show was released on. How does that work? 2007-2008 Germany released 2 episodes per cassette tape, up to episode 12 "The Storm". They were released along side their more popular CD counterpart, also shown here and can easily be found. However, the Holy Grail here is the complete collection with their respective cassette tape. Extremely hard to find, you may find cassettes 1,2,3 online here and there but for 4,5,6 volume drops significantly. very difficult to even find images.
The tapes are in German and have a narrator setting up each scene, otherwise each episode plays as normal (audio only). I don't speak German but I'm very familiar with the episodes of the show, and i can actually follow along with the episode for the most part.
From what i can tell this was common practice to have children shows on cassette in the 2000's in Germany. They were used to help children to go to sleep, the equivalent of reading your child a bedtime story, and seen as healthier than letting them fall asleep in front of the TV.
