Ed Edd n Eddy - the school arc
The school seasons weren’t all that bad.
It was a mistake to send the kids to school when they had no intention of adding additional characters. You think anyone would be in the same math class as Double D?
I remember the school eps being very comfy. I think it was how they were mostly set in autumn / winter
He smart enough to fail to their level.
This. Setting episodes in school could have worked with additional characters or by avoiding using actual classrooms as backgrounds. It's also really jarring to have characters like Rolf be in the same school as Sarah when the implied age difference alone should separate the two.
You're assuming that AP classes are in all schools.
Double D had to be in the same classes.
Same vibe
Are you unfamiliar with the American school system? its not uncommon to have massive age gaps in the same school.
5-13 is common
12-18 is common
Some private schools and schools in smaller towns will have 5-18
It was comfy. What can be better than having a show that you can watch in the summer and when summer is OVER for you, you cartoon bros have to deal with the same shit as you. That is relatable and creative.
Also "muh no new kids" isn't an argument. Charley Brown did the same shit. And worked. EEnE didn't need anymore people. By that logic, why didn't any new kids move into the hood? Or the other hood get finished?
Other than Eddie's brother, was there ever a time a character other than the kids' roster has appeared on-screen? I haven't watched the school seasons.
Hey we got a dance episode
At least one occasion where an adult's hand was on screen, and this guy from a bumper, but never a canon face outside of the core cast.
I know nothing about private schools. To me it's always been elementary is 5-11, middle school is 11-14, high school is 14-18. Sarah and Jimmy had to be in elementary school, but Rolf had goddamn back hair.
I went to public school and I attended a K-8 for the first 9 years I went to school. so its entirely possible for 5 year olds and 14 year olds to be in the same school. and, I knew plenty of 14 year olds with back hair
K-8 is just an alien concept to me.
CN literally mandated that they set the series in school if they wanted another season, I feel like they did the best that they could with those constraints. It was actually a pretty infamous move at the time and I think a lot of people have either forgotten it or just aren't informed.
That has nothing to do with private schools, that's just how many public schools work.
was pretty comfy ngl
The school episodes never had the same quality as the earlier episodes, especially when it came to comedy. However, they did have a comfy aesthetic, plus winter has always been my favorite season so I liked those episodes.
Well, like I said in the other posts, I've never seen schools like that before.
This draws a lot of my misconceptions into question.
I thought the Kanker sisters were different ages, and that Johnny was closer to Sarah's age.
CN executives are both good and shit at the same time.
I remember it being infamous just because IIRC, it would set the record as CN's longest running CartoonCartoon just because they used to restrict the number of seasons a show could have to 4(?). I never new that the school episodes were part of that.
School didn't ruin it. It was the Edd vs Eddy dynamic getting out of hand I didn't like. All three Ed's were rarely in sync in the last two seasons.

Wasn't an arc.
I really enjoyed the school episodes honestly. They didn't feel the exact same as the earlier episodes, but I still found them to be really fun.

This is an arc
Arc means there's an actual plot outside of a single episode.
Which there wasn't.
