>How anime-inspired does a cartoon have to be for an /a/ user to enjoy it?
None, it just has to be interesting. A lot of cartoons just... aren't.
The comparison between the two genres mostly comes up when western animation tries to do action, because action cartoons are largely super bad at actually doing fights, and anime has that shit down to a science.

For example, think of how many fucking Star Wars cartoons there are... but what they look like. And then you ask Japan to do a star wars cartoon, and get an entire season of different studios and directors blowing that shit out of the water.
