agreed! i just wanted to focus on the interplay of animation styles. but yeah, the east and west do genuinely have differences in art traditions thanks to art being a cultural expression and eastern and western cultures are not homogonous (nor should they be), but humans have been remixing art since art first started, and that seems to have been approximately 300,000 years ago
I hate that people on anilist.co gatekeep anime and deny western made shows in the same fucking artstyle
