Eeehh, I didn't know that Porco Rosso was your favourite! But I agree, it's fantastic.
Agree on the rest too (at least the ones taht I've seen). And Kamichu! just made me feel as if they were all made of boiled spaghetti. And possibly living underwater.
I think a lot of anime is tricky when it comes to the animation; it both is and isn't the point. Much of what defines the style comes from a need to cut costs and limit the animation, but at the same time it's one of the things that has evolved it to an art form in itself.
Anyway, to mention something I watched recently; the animation in the very new Kuroshitsuji II is absolutely stunning (at least in the beginning). Too bad the story is absolute crap.
