Good points, and we could also add other done-to-death genres like card game battles, magical girls, giant robot fighters, and monster collectors to that list.
I'm realizing that nearly all the anime I've ever watched is "written like anime" although I'm sure there are some that aren't. Speed Racer is probably the most "written like a cartoon" or at least middle ground that I can think of. It's episodic and follows the formula of
>Speed joins a race or otherwise gets involved with someone in the world of cars
>bad guys do bad guy stuff
>the gang has to stop them and save the day
Although a ton of side characters end up getting killed, which for a kids show, seems like something only anime can get away with. There's also a tiny bit of old anime's mecha obsession mixed in there.
