I've read somewhere that much of anime analysis/review treats it like a book when it would be much more appropriate to treat it more as film. It's a sentiment that I find ever more convincing - you'd never try to interpret a film without examining what the director is trying to tell us using visual imagery and sound cues, so why should it be any different with anime? For the enjoyment part, I'm not still as good at discerning the visual aspect of anime as I'd like, but it's something that matters more and more.

Hah!

I'd agree with the exception of that awful OP for Chuuni. I haven't been able to see out of my right eye ever since.
