There so many great things about anime, but it'd have to be story with all of the different and unique ways you can tell it through specifically anime, whether you want it to be more emotional, or funny, or just romantic, there's just so many genres and sub-genres and genre branches, there's something for everybody.
Yeah what Sherlock said....
To me, a story can only become interesting because of it's characters, and characters can become independently interesting if they're unique or interesting enough... redundant?
Story for sure, but i absolutely hate animes that are completely made out from CGI, something about it just makes me cringe whenever i watch them. Like their actions and movements are extremely rigid and it annoys the hell out of me.
I like the art, but I have dropped so many anime these past few months because the story was so cliche like most of the stuff coming out Jap land these days.
I feel like story is the most important part but the art and characters can also make or break the anime. One plus for me always is comedy, love, ecchi, and boobs. Show the titties, give me a good love story, and you've got a great anime ;D
Well I voted other because its mostly all of the above, I love an anime with a great story, great art work, great voice acting (not too over the top) one of the best animes for me has to be "Karas" oh and characters can't forget about characters
