I've been watching anime for so long, I don't actually care much whether I'm watching anime or live action as long as I like the show.
There is one thing I like about anime series though, and that's the continuity between the (relatively) short episodes. A lot of live action series (or cartoons for that matter), especially western ones, are purely episodic or at most having 2-3 episodes stories. I like having a long series (but not too long, 26eps is perfect, sometimes 13 is enough), with connected episodes and with a single major plot that has the time to develop. I'm actually finding myself enjoying j-drama for that reason (coupled with the fact that I like mini series rather than countless seasons).
