Plotlines are introduced and never brought up again

>plotlines are introduced and never brought up again
What plotlines? Genuine question, I don't remember.

SOME DAYS SOME NIGHTS

>like second episode
>assassin man fights with jin
>"oops client died, well no reason to fight anymore"
>"heh, I think we'll totally see each other again, destiny and shit you know"
>is never seen again

>ninja woman qt tries to kill mugen
>mugen thinks it's just kinky roleplay
>shenanigans ensue and they end up beating up traitors who try to overthrow government
>girl runs away
>"ohhh mugen will totally be my husbando later I promise!"
>is never seen again
sucks because I thought they'd begin actually building the world by having these encounters and interactions with people and then see them again

the music is good at least

I don't understand why anyone would watch a Watanabe show like a serialized shonen with ZOMG EPIC PLOT TWISTS

>I thought they'd begin actually building the world by having these encounters and interactions with people and then see them again
Of course not you sachiko posting shithead. They're always travelling.

Then why imply that these characters would meet again, if they never do? Basic Chekov's gun. Especially the assassin man. It's implied that he travels around as well. Why the fuck did they waste an interesting character like that? So much missed potential

what is it mediocre compared to, exactly?

Everything else. When people rate something highly, it's because they think it's better than other things that they would rate lower. It's a literal 4/10 anime. Nothing special about it.

the only good thing about this shoow is the ending song

>Watanabe anime
>expecting a well executed plot
>not just watching for the fun characters and great music
You're doing it wrong

u probably think its overrated because not everyone goes into a fun rule of cool episodic series with the misguided criteria you do

The ki blast he did was a fluke. He didn't have the discipline to do it consistently.

>makes fun characters
>throws them away
lol

I had a lot more fun watching Bebop than Shampoo. The interactions between Jin, Mugen and Juu were fun but the places they went weren't nearly as interesting as in Bebop. The show just overstayed its welcome and when stuff like the acid trip zombie episode and the comically bankrupt baseball episode started showing up it was clear that Watanabe didn't know what to do with Shampoo. Bebop worked better because of all the wild things that happen and because the setting lends itself for his way of writing way better. The characters also actually develop a little in Bebop, unlike in Shampoo

still why not do it later in situations where it could've been useful? oh yeah, they forgot it existed

you want fucking world building go watch raildex or some shit

it's just how life goes. people enter and exit, and sometimes youll see them again but more than often you never will. what's so bad about that? we dont live in a world governed by chekov's gun and it's the same for Watanabe's shit

That's just usual adventure shit. You meet all kinds of people on the journey.
If anything it was just giving possibilities to what might happen when they were done with their main journey. Like the prostitute Jin said he'd come back for.

Why would mugen do something that he could fuck up? It's not that mugen forgot it's that his style is completely instinctual. Outside of learning a technique to fight a dude, it's much easier for him not to bother with the ki blast.

Don't forget, that it was Fuu's story.

Episodic shows don't need to have developed characters and continued plotlines

Because he learned it in like 5 seconds? Surely he could perfect it in 10. It was obviously just a fluke in writing. Him doing it at all was already a huge fucking ass-pull.
Then why imply the existence of such plotlines?

>Then why imply the existence of such plotlines?
Yeah you're retarded

Space dandy is the worst for this

>"Heh, we'll meet again samurai"
>fucks off for eternity
nice writing watanabe!

Lurk more uncultured swine. Instead of a archetypical story, it follows more closely to a persons life: getting places and/or goals, trying to survive like obtaining money, meeting people which some can last a long time or briefly, people existing our lives, conflict from minor differences or or strong ideologies, and just some common moments that everyone goes through and can relate to.

Maybe you should stick to shitty shonen if you're such a plot sucker

The characters do develop and the other complaints are silly since its a episodic series. You're right about the villains being underwhelming, Bebop had the same problem but Vicious was still better than those literal who's.

keep sucking watanabe's dick
Alright I was being a bit hyperbolic with the character development. They do soften up to each other near the end and Fuu felt more grown up at the end as well. Vicious wasn't great either but he'll do

It's clearly an underage. Look at the way he posts.
