A lot of anime productions aren't even drawn at 720p, but at a sub-HD (but more than SD) resolution and upscaled (CG and backgrounds may or may not be rendered at a higher resolution). So in that sense there may not be that much difference between 720p and 1080p (beyond whatever artifacts are introduced in the encode, which should be minimal). However, if you're going to be watching the production on a 1080p display full-screen, I suppose there's some consideration about whether the upscaling that would happen in your player is better or worse than whatever was done to the source. If you're talking about something that comes from a TV source, then the answer to that is hugely variable, as different broadcast stations do various things to the video.
At the end of the day, I've seen very few TV anime where there is actually more than 720p of detail in the art and animation.

Well, most (decent-brand) large screen TVs have pretty good upscalers, so you shouldn't see a whole lot of pixels if upscaling for 720p... but it won't help that the art wasn't drawn to be blown up that big in the first place. You can't create detail that isn't there.
