I remember watching it online and thinking, "Okay, so obviously they're trying to be anime and trying not to be", especially with the scenes on the canoe and the backgrounds chosen for the high-action parts.
Yeah, my flatmates saw those scenes and went, "Wow, they really love Studio Ghibli."
Did you notice how high Aang and Katara's voices are in these episodes? It's really surprising, especially if you get used to the lower voices later in the series.
Yes! And now I'm annoyed, because I can't place where they become lower, and I don't even know if I'll notice when it happens!

Katara's voice goes lower by the third episode, and by the fourth it stays at the decibel that is used for the rest of the show. Aang, however, has such a gradual voice-change that it's REALLY hard to peg when it changes for good. The VA really does grow up on-screen.
