Why is anime often so incredibly sexualised?

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

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

This. I'm not surprised if the Japanese look at Hollywood movies and think why are American movies so incredibly violent?

Because it's target audience is teenage boys

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