How can I know if an anime is episodic or has a continuous plot?


I keep searching for a website or forum that can classify an anime as episodic
without reading reviews or plots (because I really hate spoilers), but I
couldn't find any.

Is there a way to know if a series is episodic in nature much like _Samurai
Champloo_ or _Gintama_ where each episode has a stand-alone story or if it has
a continuous plot across all episodes like _Bleach_ or _Naruto_?




Anime-Planet has an [`episodic`](https://www.anime-
planet.com/anime/tags/episodic) tag which gives you what you want.
[AniList](https://anilist.co/search/anime?includedTags=Episodic) and
[AniDB](https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=tag&tagid=6399) also have
their own episodic tag. ANN, MAL and Kitsu don't seem to provide this feature
as far as I know.
