Are sex appeal and attractive/appealing character designs (both male and female) completely fucking dead in western media?
Even most of the indie projects have 0 sex appeal.
Unless you're into intentionally degenerate NSFW stuff or furry shit like helluva boss.
Literally nothing else is even ok with the concept that people want to look at attractive, cool or cute characters.

This right here. Western studios think exaggerated art styles, animation, and character designs aren't "mature" enough.
They want their shows to look more grounded in reality, because their show is DARK and SERIOUS!
That's why the Western art styles for "mature cartoons" that aren't comedy always look stiff but more "realistic". At most, you'll get slightly bigger eyes.
Modern Westerners are too afraid to embrace fictional designs and movements. Even if they wanted to go full jap annie-may, I don't think they would even know how to do that.
All of the old Disney dudes who inspired anime in the first place are dead and never passed on their knowledge. So all we're left with are cartoons that are too ashamed to fully embrace being a cartoon.

They will always try to imitate live action. No exaggeration allowed.
