Forum Overview :: Anime Isn't Worth My WAGE^___^ :: ENTERPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!

[quote name="Creexuls, a monster >:3"][quote name="FABIO"][quote name="Creexuls, a monster >:3"][quote name="N"]Bebop: plotless[/quote] Like Star Trek, Star Trek TNG, House MD, and almost every single other TV show in the past 50 years (excluding soap operas). It's called "episodic," it's usually the result of a show that is made up of episodes, so that a series or season ends up being multiple isolated events that are either interconnected or unconnected but involve the central cast of characters. This is basic TV programming I'm surprised you don't know about it. Obviously "plotless" when used again and again and again (and again) to refer to Cowboy Bebop is actually just supposed to mean "too western." It's like when an anime episode that doesn't involve a central plot arc is referred to as a "filler" episode. Anime fans only call it that because they don't know what "filler" actually means or refers to, especially in reference to anime.[/quote] The even sadder part is a lot of those shows were at their worst when they strayed from episode of the week to a multi-episode plotline: House, X-files, even Enterprise =[/quote] House had a few arcs that were pretty good but usually the whole point of the show is that each week was a new case and it would involve Housu being up to some different wacky hijinx. Of course, comparing House to anime is just insane, it's like comparing Star Wars episode 1 to Goodfellas.[/quote]
