I think much of it has to do with the story itself. Like it it's a sad type of thing, then an ultra bright style wouldn't really cut it, imo.

But aside from that, I like the style emphasized in anime like Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040. I like this because the main characters were draw to look pretty realistic, but yet, they weren't as realistic as other anime such as Perfect Blue or GotF.

I also like the style going on in Ranma 1/2. This is different because, I think, the characters seen here wouldn't be seen "walking down the street" any given day.
Being a shonen anime, they were all drawn in that "cutsey big-eyed" fashion, but they didn't go overboard, like, for example, other anime of this sort like Aa! Megamisama (Ah! My Goddess).

Basically, I enjoy anime that looks pretty realistic. However, they can't look too real that it makes them look "plain". In BBC, the style sometimes seemed too realistic (unlike the plot), so it seemed too planar for me, unlike Ramma.

I like a style that combines real-ish looking characters with a demi realistic looking background that includes your not-so-average situations to the overly bizarre.
Oh, funy hair style/color with spoofy eyes do it, too.
