In a sense, I suppose it is acceptable because they were just contemporizing the artstyle to the 2010's predominant trends.
With that being said, the direction that Japan has gone in is clearly inferior to where they had been in the 90's.

Although, a few of them do look a little goofy because their eyes are just a bit too big and too far down their faces so they've actually been improved by the new artstyle, like pic related.
