I half remember an articled or docu from a while ago where someone was analyzing the perspective in some studio Ghibli backgrounds, finding that many are artistically "distorted". When this was brought up to one of the artists, they responded along the lines of: "The western idea of 1, 2 and 3 point perspective is just one way of drawing perspective and not necessarily more 'correct'." (I guess that's true, even if you think of 1 and 2 point perspective as cropped versions of a 'true' perspective image, the lines wouldn't be completely straight in reality. It's all different kinds of artistic license).
