Is there a term for animes (that are like Nichijou, Pop Team Epic) that have several parts in only one episode?

This is just my opinion, but I feel that when animated, the 4-koma best maps to sitcom. Basicaly, each sketch is a comedic situation. This translates almost exactly to how sitcoms work, by having different (and often disconnected) situations with same characters.

In my (admittedly limited) experience, Western sitcoms tend to be *episodic*, but with some kind of structured narrative throughout each episode--or multiple, but interwoven. It's hardly "situational" comedy without establishing and leveraging a situation! – 鬼いちゃん Aug 05 '22 at 05:16
