I don't watch anime because it's Japanese, I watch anime because I prefer stylistic art to live action, but western producers have a habit of treating all animation watchers like pre school children and so I am forced to whet my appetite by watching the Eastern varient, which prefers long story arcs, better music and starker characterization.
Anime is merely a medium through which I quench my desire for high quality stories, the quality is solely down to the production studio and writers involved, not just because it's anime.
I will now link back to this post everytime someone tells me that anime sucks.

I apologize, I didn't mean to imply that at all. I agree with you 100% and I constantly hope Western animation will take a page from Eastern animation, storywise and such and not just assume that copying anime "style" is enough.
I spoke incorrectly. Rather, what I should've said "something not anime but anime-like", as that's really what I meant. The show always stuck me as one that could very easily be a good anime.
In anycase, I apologize for the comment.
