There is, surprisingly, no correct labels exist for this class of images. Anime is incorrect because it’s not an animated film or directly derived from one, manga is kind of correct but modern definition is just panelists comics, nijigen is another term but it’s slightly deprecative, hentai is only for porn and also won’t be understood in Japanese. There just don’t seem to be one.

"Anime style" seems to be a decent compromise that is easily understood by most people, even if technically incorrect. AFAIK a similar term is often used in Japan: "アニメ風イラスト" (Anime style Illustration)

To the vast majority of people though, anime just means anime style. See for example the common term, anime profile picture. It's like the word meme, or irony, or begging the question.

My Japanese friend said "アニメのQRコード?" when I sent them this link, so I think that usage works in both languages.

Can you expand on this? Why not?

AFAIK it is just the literally word for "pervert"

I'm guessing bc "hentai" is only "pervet/weirdo/weird person", "ero" or "ero anime" is used for that in Japan, although I'm almost certain if you walk into a shop that sells it, and refer to it as "hentai" they'll know what you mean.

I don't think they would. You'd need to use エロ本/マンガ/同人誌 or アダルトマンガ.
