Also, i like my animations running smoothly and not lazily, as in "static characters with two frames of mouth movement for conversation running at 10 FPS" lazy. Ok maybe three frames, but still. Might just be Disney spoiling me with absurdly high animation quality, or it could be that other animators don't have such a gigantic budget, but i digress.
I like anime because for the most part they're original, I repeat for the most part. Yes there's plenty with the spiky haired spirit filled youth like naruto for example whom I hate with the burning passion of a thousand suns, but it's the same in every other form of media as well isn't it?. Out of all the tv shows on cable people usually stick to three or four channels because the rest doesn't interest them, well I see anime in the same light. Yes there will be the inevitable sex romps and overly predictable story-lines but every now and then someone creates a true work of art. Such as Cowboy Bepop, DBZ, Soul Eater or one of the best out there Full Metal alchemist, where the writers and artwork teams create a truly unique world from the ground up that's entrancing whether it's anime or not.

Lumping all anime together is kind of so-so. Like lumping all movies together as being "cinema-style". Even if two animes have the same art style, the cuts could be completely different. When you view something from far away it looks like a blob, but when you get closer you can see a lot of variation. Same with anything
One of the main reasons being the art and the incredible voices, japanese voice actors are insane
