Girls that look 10 or so, but are hundreds of years old; girls that look 20 or so and have big breasts, but have the mentality of a 10 year old girl; girls that look and act like guys, guys that look and act like girls and the hilarious confusions this causes; implied (or explicit, as in the case of the Nanoha series) nudity during transformation sequences in magical girl anime and how the monsters often do nothing to stop said transformation...
Damn, Anime Physics should be a full blown subject, like Chemistry or Mathematics. It has no lack of research material.
Character depth, cool powers, and stories that actually END and don't keep going forever like Western TV shows. 
If you can pull it off, I would say do a Matt Hazard and make something that points out the weird little nonsensicalness of anime.
For example, you could a guy doing one of the explosive nosebleeds after seeing a girl half-naked or something, but then have the guy die due to massive blood loss.
Other things include:
purposefully long and confusing attack names that take thirty seconds
someone walking away during said attack or during a transformation
exaggerated differences between apparant and actual age (this can go for kids or adults)
lots and lots of episodes (that would each be about three seconds long), or just start with a really high number and make it seem like your audience has missed a lot by packing enough content to fill a season into one of those previous episode summaries for episode two (don't ever make episode one)
have the fantasy physics stop working when someone brings them up
I could go on, but this is long enough as is is.

Original design, in-depth characters, intelligent dialogue, an involving story--which is to say, the same stuff that I like in everything else.
And the nose-bleed thing is not specifically a censorship-evasion technique. It derives from the traditional Japanese belief that a suppressed sex drive causes nosebleeds. In anime, the nosebleeds don't hit people who are turned on, they hit people who are turned on and aren't getting any.

Right the only anime series I can really say I like is Bleach, yeah it suffers from a few of the problems that plague anime but it also has many of the good things about anime as well, you know well done animation, original setting, deep characters etc.
Personally if I had to make an anime it would be set in a fantasy world with Miazaki style settings that would follow the adventures of a group of characters one of which would not be human at all but instead a badass lizard man warrior named Zukan Gregorias a member of a race called the Hork. The story would involve governments clashing, a lot of villians, prophecies and standard epic stuff but it would also have a strange sense of self parody with characters making referances to modern pop culture and modern music and themes playing alongside the traditional fantasy epic.

It's seinen, which is pretty good most of the time.KSarty said:

Go turbo tongue-in-cheek cliche. I'm talking Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Anyone who hasn't seen that series hasn't lived. The last episode involves mechs fighting each other with galaxies as swords. FRICKIN' GALAXIES!!!
So basically what Valiance said
