Maybe I'm just an old man at this point, but I find "imperfection" rather charming. Realism can be cool, but games and cartoons that are "crappy" have character and allow me to use my imagination to believe in different worlds. One of the reasons that I still love Nintendo 64 games is that they look clunky compared to today's games, and they look that way because the artists had to work within the constraints of the hardware and come up with game assets that look close enough but don't destroy the FPS. If a game looks consistently crappy, I can buy into its universe with my imagination. I forget who said it, but I think there's a saying that great art is borne through limitation. When an a good artist only has a limited set of tools, or maybe not even the best ones, it brings out the best in their abilities.
