As much as I respect John K.'s art, (despite his unfortunate apparent crimes) it's a li'l ironic of him to accuse other animators of being blinded by nostalgia for '60s cartoons, considering he himself hates almost every cartoon that doesn't emulate the retro animation styles he himself was influenced by.
Heck, John K. hates every cartoon he worked on that wasn't his own personal creation. (Like "Heathcliff" where he was a character designer.)

The animeesque fad kinda got old too after awhile, and kinda turned some people off anime, and animeesque shows. Though, animesque wasn't just in the 2000s, as they were actually common in the '80s & '90s too, as many American cartoons had overseas animation done in Japan like the first season of the original TMNT cartoon, Tiny Toons, several Disney Afternoon shows, the original Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff, and others. (Oddly, the intro to the "Super Mario World" show was done in Japan too, and as a result looked better then the actual show.)
As a result, those shows actually had some animesque moments too, like some of the facial expressions, and tropes like "cross-popping veins."
I kinda prefered those American-Animesque styles over flat out copying anime like Teen Titans, Avatar, and such.
Now comes super-sized!
