A lot of cell animations in anime are animated in much higher numbers too than just "on twos". Cell animation was slow, so anything they could do to reduce the number of tweens they would do. Most common is to animate in layers so the most difficult thing to animate, usually the character, is static while background elements have more motion.

E.g. character A moves on odd frames and character B moves on even frames. This is the same amount of work but feels smoother and less mechanical when watching it.
