Sometimes I think because anime has become such a big thing that western cartoons sometimes loose their merits for their distinction and distinction. Consider that anime borrowed a lot of ideas from Disney and other western quarters, most of what you see is an extreme form of what the western style had originally done. You see big-eyed characters before anime came along, some of the expressions can also be in western cartoons as well.

So when a very western cartoon has some elements which are not so western looking, they may turn aroud and say "anime-ish" even though its not. :-/
