Digital coloring really did a terrible number on the animation industry on the whole due to poor training in using the tools and rushing it's adoption. It's even worse in the anime of the era, colors are just piss ugly and everything feels like it has flat lighting. There is something similar to shooting live action on actual film in its similarities to making animation on a physical cel. Obviously animators have mastered digital coloring tools at this point and could likely recreate this style if they wanted, but it still would have that lack of grit or grain to it as it is all digitally processed, nothing tangible.
