Yeah, I agree. If I had to sum up everything I hate/dislike about anime in one sentence, it would be pretty much the same thing that you just wrote here, and I also would use the specific words "Checklist Approach".
It's not even so much the specific elements that get checked off, as I like many of those elements myself. It's just how the "Checklist Approach" makes a show seem more like a mechanical assemblage of parts than like a true, organic narrative to me.
