Aside from the obvious, such as interesting plots, engaging characters, realities that can only be depicted through that medium (at least for the time being), and themes that either inspire or teach (or let me veg for 20 minutes), I like anime for its nuggets. I call good quotes nuggets because they're like little nuggets of gold that you mine out of the continuum of the dialogue or plot.
Anyway, here are some of the nuggets I found:
"I like any book that makes me feel like I'm in a sea. Swallowing in knowledge and emotion and everything else. Endlessly expanding but somehow different from reality." - Black Lagoon, episode 20
"If there's no meaning to something that'll eventually be lost, then there's no meaning to your life either, right? Whether it's because of time, illness, or the blade, your life will eventually be taken. Then, will you take your life now?" - Pumpkin Scissors, episode 19
Anime (and any media, really) seems to have the ability to impart such things but it depends on whether or not the creator wanted to. Anime has a lot of them; so do books. This is why I enjoy them.
