The definition of pedophilia is sexual attraction towards children. So if the anime characters are all clearly representing children, then sure, why not count that.
The thing is, there is a lot of art that is kind of vague on age. The loli girl stuff creeps me out. But the older teenager / young adult anime/art feels a little more like general human brain. Especially if the user isn't trying to seek it out. No one is perfect.
But in this case obviously sexualizing something that looks like a child is creepy. Elon's age is not helping him either...
"But she's really a 120 year old vampire so it doesn't count, you just don't understand bro"
Guy who consumes that kind of thing and occasionally draws it here. I'm not attracted to real children, and in fact I left Twitter due to it became infested with (real) CSAM. "Pedojacketing" everyone who likes anything that could be remotely called a "child" isn't a product of "the new web" (4chan lingo for internet when mainstream platforms started to ban racists), and is quite old in fact, but it does not help victims or child sexualization. Even if you really don't like this thing, and a "real old internet guy" (read: browsed 4chan and YouTube since 2012) wanted to gatekeep his "formerly niche" fandoms from tourists (read: anyone who's not white and cishet), then tried to smear you for the sin of not knowing the origin of some joke that originated from a loli doujinshi.
