I value:
- Likeable, nuanced characters
- Use of narrative tropes without descending into cliche
- Lovely use of a favourite trope/theme (ex. time travel, battle royale, survival)
- Well-animated and choreographed fight scenes (mecha fights excluded)
- Detailed world-building
- Intentionally funny
- Enjoyable to watch
I despise:
- Boring character tropes (ex. the basic dandere, the generic snarky LN protagonist)
- Offensive depiction of female characters
- Gratuitous fanservice
- Unbelievable relationships (ex. Kirito and Asuna from SAO)

Personally I may give it a 8 or even 9/10 BUT after that Deus Ex Machina Ending ruined it for me!
When I think about it, I didn't love the first half of Clannad AS, either. But the second half with Tomoya, Ushio, Tomoya dad and the Furukawas make up for it.
I've heard from a few people who read Sakamichi no Apollon's manga that the anime adaptation rushed a lot of aspects and cut out a ton of content towards the end. So it's entirely possible that characters such as Ritsuko got the short end of the stick and ended up being nothing more than a flaky romantic interest.
I find that a lot of the sports anime are super long lol. Oofuri was just the right length XD
