I like western styled animation since they put a lot more character into the design and animation of their cartoons. They have exaggerated designs and animations while also using simple line art. If you look at the equivalent of anime in the west, you will see cartoons like Avatar: The Last Airbender that use more simplified designs to speed up the animation process. This also allows them to put more energy towards lip syncing and hand gestures.
In anime, they put so much detail in their drawings and it all looks the same and they still have stiff animations that only have the mouth move most of the time.
In the western cartoon, they talk with more hand gestures and their eyebrows move as their expressions change. In the animes, they are stiff and have less movement but more detailed artwork. Oh and anime has completely trash storytelling compared to western cartoons.
