That's partly the result of Avatar being rejected as an "anime". Once upon a time, I viewed Avatar as an "anime" -- until I actually watched it. It took the character facial expressions during conversation to remove the impression. It's just not subtle enough. Thus, I view Avatar as "close but not quite". The Boondocks falls into this same platform.
And so. To break through the mold, it might take members of current anime fans - to embrace anime
AND go on to make a career producing it. I'd do it; but I don't have any talent remotely close to it.
Otherwise, American animation will remain stuck.
