I was trying to put into words the things I don't dig about anime. It's nothing story-wise. I love things like you mentioned, but I'm talking about how the art of anime tries too hard to evoke something in it's characters I'm just not into, or don't buy. It doesn't really have anything to do with the narrative.
It's just a style thing, and maybe I'll just never get past it. So I hope it doesn't seem like I'm directly opposed to anything "deep." Quite the opposite.

I want to watch Ninja Scroll. I probably won't like it, but I love ninjas and ninja stories, but there aren't really any good ninja movies in live action.
Does it have anything to do with someone wearing ridiculous, fashion over function clothing, while wielding a weapon that doesn't even begin to make sense (and was clearly designed by a ADHD kid trying to make a tank-gun-sword) and this character is standing stoically? You can't dress like a an attention whore, master a weapon that is batshit crazy and then pretend like you don't care. You clearly care.
