Here we see again what budget cuts do to good animation  |
Avatar is pretty high budget actually (more then any anime), the animation, special effects, music and voice acting took a lot of money
Also, with 61 episodes it's longer then most anime series anyway. The only animes with more episodes I know about are anime serials like Bleach, Naruto, Inuyasha, One Piece and so on.
There are a lot of superb animes who have far less epis than Avatar: Code Geass (50), Full Metal Alchemist (51), Death Note (37), Cowboy Bebop (26), Basilisk (24) and so on.
