Probably the animation was what brought me in, I'd watch anime regardless of its story, as long as it was animation from japan. Now I'll go for a story, not just anything, I can't think of any live action TV series or movies that can rival the immense story of Neon Genesis Evangelion, but other anime like Golgo 13 are really crap and hold no memoriable moments and thought provocking relevations such as Evangelion.

Also because unlike any other animation, it can be artisitic. It can hold meanings and ideas. It needn't be up-beat, have a lesson and encourage good behaviour and leave you feeling optimistic and happy. It can be whatever the creator wants. And animation seems more appealing for me to watch than live actors. Its quite annoying to hear people call them "Japanese Cartoons" from people who haven't really seen anime before, I mean adult anime, not Kids anime like Pokemon. Like my brother, who i've actually persuaded into watching a little Cowboy Bebop and hes a little more open to it now, he even bought the manga, but I think he only likes Ein lol!
