Very rarely does it actually look like anime. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is heavily influenced by American comics. While not specifically western (indeed, it more closely resembles Chinese/Korean animation in aesthetics), One Stormy Night is still much closer to your average western animated feature than traditional anime. Bambi and Her Pink Gun is so visually influenced by the aesthetics of American comics that
only the onomatopoeia give it away as an original Japanese creation. The anime for Excel♡Saga had a scene comparing tropes from anime and tropes from western animation, and as Excel demonstrated the cartoon tropes she and the other characters are animated in the style of American comics, rubber hose cartoons, and the Disney animated canon. The art style of Studio Ghibli films are heavily influenced by French animated films. One of their films is even a French Coproduction. Conversely, My Neighbor Totoro and Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea take more influence from American animated films rather than French animated Films. Earwig and the Witch also looked to Aardman Animations and Laika's stop-motion films to translate the signature Ghibli style to 3D CGI. The Big O is the result of Japanese animators involved with Batman: The Animated Series (Sunrise, the studio
behind the show, was a subcontractor for the latter series) running with the influence of Bruce Timm's iconic art style. Look for the Batmobile in the backgrounds.
