Because you're not the target age group anymore. Yea Forums loves to wank this show as the best western cartoon of all time, but the show's various flaws and problems are lost through the nostalgia goggles.

>why
there isnt enough journey cartoons anymore. segaway cartoons that werent completely a comedy yet has serious moments at times is no where to be found in the endless see of slice of life " x is the joke of the week " shows.

People hate animation and want it to be like anime aka Japanese soap opera levels of writing and nothing that makes good use of animation
That’s why they latch onto an anime-like series
Jayden Harris
It's better than any anime out there, get serious dude
Matthew Campbell
there aren't a lot of good examples of action cartoons
Angel Edwards
I wouldn't consider it better than the anime at the time like FMA:Brotherhood, Death Note, or Season 1 of Darker than Black

ATLA is not the best cartoon ever. Here is the best.

>anime at the time like FMA:Brotherhood
FMA:B only started after A:TLA ended. The contemporary anime would've been FMA, which it was definitely superior to.
