Anime Influences in each series

I've noticed that anime influences have been used a lot in TMNT, while it became more noticeable in the 2012,2003 and rise series, I think there are hints of it in the fred wolf cartoon aswell, while there was the 90s ova, that one is more obvious.

like the first season of the Fred Wolf series was animated by Toei, but there are some scenes where their signature style is noticeable, it's in a lot of the facial expressions, especially with Donatello, and there's also April who was inspired by Fujiko Mine from Lupin for her design and you can see that in her big black detailed eyes.

While you could say that the Fred wolf cartoon is the one that looks most like a "western cartoon", I really like the anime-esque style,

what do you think of TMNT taking inspiration from anime for different iterations?
