[QUOTE="Moon-Lancer, post: 3782780, member: 35798"] the fact that the d&d cartoon has one goal that is never fulfilled really puts a major dent in its greatness. For a cartoon to be considered more like literature in my opinion, it has to have a beginning, middle and end. At least if its using subject matter thats based on a plot and story, as opposed to cartoons that have a message each episode, and in terms of plot, has none. Like family guy, south park, Simpson's... i think shows that have a visaed of progressive story are sad. They could have been amazing and great, but they chose use a model to produce endless episodes until cancellation instead of telling a story. its almost as if it needs to avoid the story itself so the story never progresses past the point of no return. its like balancing on the edge of a ravine . Sadly most cartoons in America fail this very simple test. Anime in this respect, has a 1up. many animes have a set run. They have a story to tell and its normally around 20 or so episodes. Some dont obviously, and run until canceled, but some are very compact.
