it actually has to do with how the western cartoon industry and the manga industry started. in the west, animation has always been held to a high standard by big name companies. look at how long Dianey has been making cartoons, or even WB. then consider the fact that its a capitalist industry and that these companies arent open to trying new things. animation is expensive, and they only want what works. now contrast that to the japanese market which was primarily started to provide struggling families with a form of cheap and easy entertainment after the nukings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima during WWII (not even joking, look it up if you dont believe me). as a result, anybody with a pen and paper was able to draw manga and make a small name for themselves. more people means more ideas, and that led to more diversity.
