Firstly, you need a story that can't be told in any other medium. Simple detective stories are best left for live-action. Anime thrives on out-there imagination. You need almost melodramatic elements that compliment the visuals, and you need a strong intelligent story that can keep up with the animation. An instructor once told me, "If you don't need to animate it-don't". I think that's why anime succeeds so well. Both the story and the look are above and beyond what traditional cinema offer. It's also why we come away disappointed with Spriggan or X. Where's the beef????
