142. And then Western comics retcon the whole plotline away anyway! I say this as someone who enjoys Western comics as well: they are by no means immune to doing really stupid shit with their plots and pacing, and I won't even start on how writer-switching in bigger/long-running titles can fuck up a good narrative.

You're picking really good examples for Western comics and holding them up as the entire genre. Unless you're willing to do the same for the other side -- and I assure you, there are a lot of anime and manga that don't fall into the traps you accuse them of -- then, uh, stop it for fuck's sake.

And honestly, even most of the big long hueg liek Xbox shounen series, at least the ones I've read, have multiple plotlines, so I'm not quite sure what you're complaining about there. Rurouni Kenshin went through a few arcs, Yu Yu Hakusho went through four (and the first arc was more like a bunch of mini-arcs in itself) ... shit, even Flame of Recca, which keeps the same bad guy pretty much from start to finish, still uses several arcs that all build onto the same overarching plotline of stopping him.

If you think anime always needs fifty episodes to get through one plot arc, please do watch the first two seasons of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha sometime. Thirteen episodes each, two complete plotlines, and in the second season especially, I'm talking plotlines where a lot happens. If you think all anime/manga is ridiculously drawn out and stuck to one story arc, you clearly haven't watched/read much of it.
