Hell even Black Swan is a good example being clearly based on Perfect Blue
Even Detective Pikachu shows that Hollywood are starting to understand the genre more. They keep getting better at it. As bad as the Death Note film was, Ryuuk was perfect.
It honestly wouldn't be that hard to make Sailor Moon if it had the right budget and the right people attached to it, people who are passionate about the source material which all the above had.
There's just an easy and simple aesthetic change required to make that work haha. As long as you've got the core of the characters and story right, the aesthetic can be flexible, they're not as important.
