Have you tried Utena TV, OOC? The movie isn't that good at all unless you've seen the TV shows. If not, buy the R1 rip when it gets out in a month and try it, it is FAR better then the movie.
Yeah, I rented the 1st disc. While it was somewhat better than the movie version, I still didn't like it much.
As for Zagattos questions. Let's see. I would have to say that the most important thing is storyline or plot. I mean nice graphics can help, but you're just looking at pretty pictures if there's no story behind it. Berserk didn't have the best graphics in the world, but it's very popular due to the fact that it has an awesome story behind it.
As for what types of stuff I personally like. I like stuff that has some action/adventure with some comedy mixed in. Something like Bebop is an excellent example. Great storyline, has action, and keeps it lighthearted at times as well. But something like Full Metal Panic or Rurouni Kenshin or You're Under Arrest are all also very good examples IMO.
But I can like stuff even if it doesn't have comedic elements in it if the story is good enough. Good examples of this would be Berserk, Crest of the Stars or VHD Bloodlust.
I hate preachy stuff. Like Kakomu was saying with Arjuna. Don't preach to me about the earth and destroying it and crap. I don't watch anime because I want to hear the creator of the series to preach at me. I watch anime for some lighthearted entertainment, not to learn stuff that the director feels like teaching me.
