Yes, they do draw that way. It's a certain cute style that helps with the moment. However, it does goes over board when the whole anime is like that, as Gundam and many other characters are drawn like this for the younger market.The Batman animation series was drawn extremely well. Its use of shades and shadows creates a really dark mood. The angles of the shots also did wonders for the series as well besides the strong story telling. It shows that you don't have to use the latest techniques to have a good cartoon series.
The 3D intergration into animation is getting there with the WB and Fox base cartoons. Many of the cartoon/animations are out sourced to animation firms outside the United States. They are okay and it's what you expect from a daily to weekly animation series budget.
There's a new series in Japan that uses the latest 3D CGI in thier animation. I don't remember the title offhand but the 3D and normal cel animation blend effortlessly as the color palette and lighting are matched perfectly.Macross Plus and Ghost in the Shell implimented CGI to good effect and Anastasia use CGI to make the it's animation lifelike. However, these films are pretty dated now and makes you wonder when the next animation masterpiece will come along.
