CalArts trash.
Why do modern cartoons need to have an overarching plot? What's wrong with episodic plots?
Because culture has changed. Episodic shows were great when people only wanted to kill time and not care if they missed an episode of two. Now people want to follow characters in a story with a beginning and an end.

the way people talk about this, you'll assume mystery incorporated is the norm (there is a main story) and not the exception.
That they've been overdone again and again for 50 years until we puke?
The problem is some can't decide which to be and are terrible at balancing the two.
Neither allow or dissuade creativity. That's all on the writers.
>WAAAAH WHERE'S THE PLOT FUCK THIS FUCKING SLICE OF LIFE
>WAAAAH THERE'S TOO MUCH PLOT HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO FOLLOW THIS
Literally kill yourself, the only bad thing that ever happened to western animation was idiots like you.
>THERE'S TOO MUCH PLOT
when did anyone ever say this on Yea Forums?
Oh wait, I forgot...
>WAAAAH YOU JUST PULLED EVERYTHING OUT OF YOUR ASS AND TOOK TOO LONG TO EXPLAIN THINGS FUCK YOU INCOMPETENT SJWS YOU'RE WRONG BECAUSE I'M TOO FUCKING STUPID TO PAY ATTENTION TO FORESHADOWING OR HAVE PATIENCE
I thought the general consensus is that that show is good if you can get passed the ugly art style.
