Why is anime often so incredibly sexualised?

Because it's target audience is teenage boys

If you think that's bad, you should check out the stuff targeted at girls.

Anime is much closer to a medium than a specific genre.

Japanese culture is different from Western Judeo-Christian-origin cultures.

It's more liberal in some ways, more conservative in others.
