If you are talking about "wow" factor, Then do a quick google search. I just did.
Searching "Sword Art Online" VS "anime" Yields images that... Look QUITE like each other. Same color eschemes... Same hair styles... Same eyes... Same weird weapons... Same shadings... Same girls in few clothes looking indirectly at the "camera"...
Sure, the concept behind it can be nice, but... You'd just be adding mmorpg elements to... A mmorpg. Few else to add.
However, look at the searches "adventure time" VS "cartoon". You can see a particular art style, with a particular color scheme, with recognizeable characters between them. Not only depending on their clothes, hair color, or eye color.
And lastly, Search for "maplestory". While it "may" fit both styles, I'd be more inclined towards a simplistic style, considering we are talking about a 2D game with characters around 70 pixels tall.
Surely it's just opinion, but I made mine from that.
