I feel you. I never liked the “ugly cartoon” aestic. Even if I enjoy the characters/plotlines, it distracts me so much and hurts my enjoyment of the media somewhat. Some TV examples include: Ren and Stimpy, the closeups in SpongeBob, Anything by Klasky Csupo (Rugrats, Wild Thornberrys, and especially Aaahh!!! Real Monsters), and everyone’s pupils in Rick and Morty.
