Cel shading refers to shading something like you would a cel, that is with a limited amount of flat colors with hard transitions rather than soft transitions with gradients for shadows and highlights

It's not dependent on medium and it was a term in art first, given that both cels and shading are standard art terms, it just happened to share the name with a 3D shader technique, but MML's textures are indeed cel shaded
