: It's almost impossible to care about any of the characters when they look
: like they've been imported from Pokemon.

It seems to keep coming back to this. I haven't watched much Pokémon and (although it goes against how I tell people they should give things a chance) I don't like it and it was almost definitely the first anime I saw at all and I don't feel that way, although it was a while before I saw more than a few seconds and I didn't immediately dismiss it, and of course I do like Digimon. Where am I going with this? I forgot, but now I'm going to say that if you can't get past the look you don't seem very open-minded and/or imaginative at all to me and people like that don't have much fun in life. I for one am much, much more concerned with the story than the look.
If you don't like anime because it looks like Pokémon in particular (or DBZ or Sailor Moon or any other specific show) I think you've let it spoil an art style for you. Here's an analogy: suppose the first time you had waffles with maple syrup someone accidentally put in vanilla extract instead of maple extract and the second time it was short on sugar and not mixed properly. Chances are you wouldn't like it and you might then conclude you don't like maple syrup and refuse to have it again, and while that's valid in that everyone has their own tastes and feelings, it's invalid in that you didn't really have proper maple syrup. To use a metaphor, I posit you've had vanilla-flavored, watery, bland syrup and assume it's all like that.
(and yes, my mom accidentally used vanilla extract once)

You cannot fall off the floor.
