Does a cartoon need to have things like continuity and an overreaching plot in order to be truly great?

Nah, but it does help the audience stay interested I guess. So there's that.
Do Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons have both of those?
>>81268780
No, but is a thing you can complain on /co/ if more than 3 cartoons do it
>>81268780
Only cartoons that "try hard to be anime" would need those. And even with those, most fail miserably.
>>81268780
Not necessarily, but if you're going to include one, you'd better be damned good at it, otherwise you'll crash and burn. If you can do it well, however, your work will be lauded as a fucking masterpiece (see: Gargoyles, Avatar: The Last Airbender, the DCAU).

99% of animes have shit continuity (99,5% with a shit ending) and in most of then "continuity" just means: "the character gained nem powers from magic training and the monster of the week fight lasted more than 30 episodes".
>>81268780
No. Speaking of this I can't think of any good recent cartoons that can do this
>>81268780
No and the only people who say that are baiting. Stop being retarded.

Nobody cares about that ancient shit, John K.
The writing sucked.

No, but it's self-contained plots need to be collectively brilliant.
