Must there be a great story?
Cute characters?
Great character development?
Something EPIC?
Lotsa big guns and gigantic explosion type things?
A broken heart?
Maybe just something you can relate to?
Personally i know i like an anime when i start remembering all of the characters names. Then i know it interests me. Great characters and a good story are a must. I look to a a series that you can not help but feel a characters pain, heartache, joy, resolve... etc....
Also a uniqueness to each character. And also a little realism. For instance, i like an anime when a character is only so strong. That character can die, fail etc.....
And not just keep reinventing some abstract concept that allows him/her to suddenly be all powerful again. (one of the reasons i do not watch DBZ and Naruto)
I know i like an anime if i HAVe to sit down and watch the whole series in one sitting or i'll go spastic.....!
Anyway, enough babbling from Shinji...
Lets here what makes an anime or manga RISE ABOVE all others in your humble opinion!
