It doesn't, really. Relatively speaking, anime's one of the few mediums that's changed the least, visually.
Nearly every anime from the late 70s onwards uses the same/similar manga artstyle, just altered by the trends of an era or an artists' personal touches.
You can look at anime art from the 1980s and anime art from the 2010s and still see the resemblance since they're both different variations on the same artstyle and design philosophy.
You can't really say the same with say, video games, or Western cartoons

I made pic related as a shitpost months ago but the resemblance is genuinely still there.

gabriel dropout was a GOOD anime though
it's like comparing to steins;gate

most of anime in the 00s and 10s aren't like that, while the quality in the 80s and 90s was overall higher on average
