Is there a name for this flat animation rotoscoped style that seems more wikiHow than Moebius? Can we invent a German or French neologism for it if it doesn't exist, like "Ligne Claire"?

This seems to be more and more of a thing lately with things like Scavengers Reign

And I saw this new trailer:

But it's obviously been around for awhile

And more than SF contexts, I see this in mundane places

There's a bit of uncanny valleyness to it that I think Moebius avoids by making his forms more exaggerated and stylized, but also the modern context of live video chat filters is leaking into it too. Can we name this thing whatever it is?

hmm, makes me think of the game Sable, which I rather like in terms of aesthetic

although i guess that's directly influenced by morbius

Ha -- everyone's influenced by Moebius!

But I think this super-Moebius-esque anime somehow manages to be extremely team Moebius, but not team... whatever the skinned roto-style is.

Is it maybe just that the backgrounds in your examples are Moebius influenced but the characters are wikihow?

Hm... It's true I don't see any funny hats on these guys...

Luna Bros are an example who don't seem Moebius-influenced at all:
