My major issues with western cartoons were/are:

1. Nearly all are episodic in nature. There's really no developing story arc. Anything that happens in one episode is so watered down because you know at the end deus ex machina will rule the day and the big, divine reset button will be pressed before the next episode.

2. Even if they are story driven, the shows carry on far too long. Three, five, seven seasons of thirty or so episodes each? There's no real pressure or time restraints to continually advance the plot in a meaningful way. Too much fluff and filler.

3. Repeats, repeats, repeats! Instead of trying to milk every last red cent out of a show why not let it end in a grand scale and move on to a new project?

Seriously, we got screwed as kids.
