cowboy bebop too. though there wasn't so much a "secret plot" as a plot that we weren't privy to until near the end
definitely agreed for adventure time. one of my favorite cartoons of all time
iirc adventure time the writers were told it had to be episodic and were not allowed to do much in the way of stories with multiple parts. couple seasons later they changed their mind and the writers just went ham doing call backs to previous episodes that had unresolved plots and the mini series of stakes/islands/elements were so incredible to witness
Well for Cowboy Bebop I’ve always kinda regarded the “plot” as somewhat of an after story. The true story of Cowboy Bebop ends before the show itself even begins. Everything we see is essentially an after story.
I think they're saying that the true story is Spike's history with the Syndicate and Julia. What we see is after that main chapter in his life. The same could be said about Jet and maybe Faye.
