Define "better animation". There are plenty of anime movies or series whose animation is leaps and bounds above anything else out there, both other anime and Western-style. GItS, Akira, and Biohunter come to mind as having superb animation, even though they meet all the other criteria. (except perhaps fps) There is a distinct difference between traditional Western animation (aka Disney, WB, Don Bluth, and others) and "anime" style, which usually has bigger eyes, more angular faces, more exotic and "flashy" character designs, and less realistic hair styles/colors. They also tend to feature younger characters in most mainstream anime (IE kids or young teens) and things like larger weapons or outlandish gear being used by characters regularly. Seriously, watch a movie like The Hobbit, and then watch Record of Lodoss Wars, where the animation is probably fairly equal in quality, but the difference in style and tone is obvious. Granted, one is a series, but the idea is there. Especially in the differences of the dragon(s) in each.
