U are right i can envisage some scenarios where 
this would be useful.. some series u just wanna 
watch fot some mindless fun & jokes when u have 
time & not have to bother following...

The fact that they envisage viewers here as ppl 
too lazy & dumb to follow a plot is insulting i 
think... how dare they!!  Kids everywhere else 
can handle it...  Not an attack on you but i just 
think the way western viewers are treated & 
stereo typed is patronzing.

On the flip side i think that an ambitious can 
take advantage of there being continuity to drag 
viewers to watch.  

Don't get me started on them playing the episodes 
randomly.. lol

Despite all this it's hard to get me to watch any 
western animations tho i do love simpsons & D&D.  
I hate disney stuff - i only like a few ghibli 
studio things too mind you.  But i am open minded 
& hope that western animation will improve! :)
