Anime has always been very subjective over here in the west as, for various reasons. But something that is quite prominent in comparison to western works is how animations worked up until the teens (recently). Before recently anime animations were very minimalistic in their movements when possible, an animation was more like an animatic than an actual animation, with little movement on characters except their mouths which would just fluctuate open and closed with out any movement of the chin. A character was always personified by their back story and the words they disgorged never by their actions which removes you from the characters ploy and fight somewhat as they could pretty much be statues. This would normally come down to budgets, and this was more specific to anime series over anime movies. Anime movies had larger budgets which in turn resulted in better quality animation an example wold be 'Summer wars' which had a lot of movement and life to the characters actions showing each ones individuality compared to something such as, say Dragon Ball where everyone was the same static character yelling for five episodes.

(Watch Death Parade its amazing!)
