\\\'It just also turns out that more plot-driven toons that aren\\\'t sitcom-based/standalone shorts were more considered \\\"adult\\\" in the west, and several stuff (including some anime series) happen to be more plot-driven and not attempting to be sitcoms/standalone humorous shorts like most early \\\'toons were. (And some toons meant for older teens and adults produced today like Archer are more sitcom-based) Maybe people just considered having a comprehensive on-going Story Arc and didn\\\'t have to deliver gags every couple minutes to be more \\\"mature\\\" than sitcoms.*
A downside to a comprehensive Story Arc is that you have to watch from the beginning for it to make sense - a sitcom with little continuity if at all in between each episode can be picked up at any time and people can learn who the characters are, what\\\'s going on, etc.\\\'
Is this really accurate? The English-speaking animation community has traditionally favoured short films, not plot-driven TV series.
