One of the most ridiculous argument I ever heard from people is "anime has overarching stories, cartoon doesn't". I mean, seriously?

There are tons cartoons that have overarching stories. Gravity Falls, anyone? Samurai Jack, anyone? Over the Garden Wall, anyone? Avatar: The Last Airbender, anyone? Steven Universe, anyone? Star Wars: The Clone Wars, anyone (yes I know it's CGI cartoon but still...)? And Adventure Time, at least from the moment they introduced The Lich and GOLB, do have some kind of an overarching story behind the everyday slice-of-life.

And there are also animes that do not have overarching stories. Doraemon, anyone? Dragon Ball Z, anyone? Naruto, anyone?

Personally, I treat them the same. They're have good and bad qualities, equally. When will people understand that it's the execution and story that's truly matter?
