Ah, not you. It is they who say it's Anime. It's a generic Hello Kitty inspired look.
In context of Sesame English, i guess these things work better, but it's one of those Sesame Street segments they always run that are all the same, and those lack variety. Even in older letter and number series, each one is different. These Sesame English things are just different because they either have Cookie or Elmo and they feature a different object they're singing about.
