On todays episode, the mods of the podcast discuss The Seven Basic Plots, a book by Christopher Booker using anime. The theory is that stories fall under at least one of the seven plot points, Overcoming the Monster, Rags to Riches, The Quest, Voyage & Return, Comedy, Tragedy and lastly Rebirth. What are your favorite examples of these plots? Let us know in the comments or join our discord located in the linktree.
