>>101664990The stylings of anime lend themselves easily to more slice of life shows. They're representations of real people even with their big eyes, their bodies are as anatomically correct as you can get while keeping them easy to animate so its not jarring to see an anime character do something you see in real life like playing sports.
By contrast western animation focuses more on cartoony styles, and while you can have them play sports its usually played for laughs, having them go through the same dramatic tones as anime does would be jarring.
Also the writing styles of both asian and western shows just doesn't make it work as well.
It could but like with Avatar the last airbender there will be people confused as to whether they should call those cartoons or anime.
