i would argue Japan never even made an actual adult cartoon. to them, "adult" means having violence and sex. this does not make them appealing to adults, this makes them appealing to children who want to pretend they are mature by watching edgy content.
for example, compare these two:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oxP3TyuQx0
both are about nuclear catastrophe. the Japanese one uses the real deaths of real people for shock value. the western one is more respectful and mature even with a fictional story and fictional characters.
