Avatar Remastering Project

Hey guys! Exciting news–the fan-run Avatar Remastering Project is getting closer to completion everyday! This project is upscaling and remastering every single episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender in beautiful HD (1080p vs the original 480p, or 1440×1080 vs 720×480). 

This means, for the first time ever, you’ll be able to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender in HD! 

Additionally, the interlacing and haloing (glowy white borders around black outlines) have been removed.

The latest update was November 27, 2016 (2 days ago):

We’ve finished upscaling all 61 episodes. This unarguably took the most amount of time (400+ hours) Right now we have to look for visual errors in every episode and correct those scenes. Not sure how long that’s gonna take. After we’re done fixing everything, we’re ready to start uploading.

I’m not affiliated with this project, but I am super excited to be able to watch and edit Avatar in HD for the first time ever! The dedication of the Avatar fandom never ceases to amaze me, and the fact that a fanmade project like this is in the works more than 10 years after the show’s premiere is a real testament to the quality of ATLA.

THIS PROJECT IS FINISHED! You can download the remastered version now!

me: hey how long is this thing going to last

someone: haha you just want to know when you’re off the hook

me: hah

me: (actually i just need to allocate the right expectations and backlog of energy and make sure the rest of my day falls in good accordance with it so that i don’t feel time-crunched and propel myself into a hysteria because if i don’t know how long this thing lasts or when it ends i can’t possibly know when literally anything else starts and my entire life becomes an unraveled realm of anarchy with no rhyme or reason and how is that not terrifying to you)

me: hey how long will this take

someone: oh like twenty minutes

me: ok

*an hour later*

me: *clinging to every learned social skill i can think of with the desperate hope my distress and exhaustion doesn’t show*

someone: hey we’re almost done don’t be so crabby

me: *smiling* *internally screaming at this SENSELESS CHAOS*

someone: hey do you want to do [involving time-consuming thing]

me: hey that sounds fun! when were you thinking?

someone: oh we’re doing it right now

me: oh. like. now-now? like right now. like you want me to stop what i’m doing and get up and do this thing with you, suddenly, with thirty seconds of warning. now. like this second. immediately. now?
