I'm not for those stories were Ecci-neesan happily humps around the block, sees a bad guy,and then calls on the powers of the sex demons that haunt her to totally obliterate her evil oponent.
Neither where for an unknown reason light comes out of a little magic box, and Poow-Poow,the gigantic bear-dog that can fly, takes little piu-chan to a babypink and blue world full of rainbows and gigantic purple mushrooms... if you know what I mean...
I'd prefer science fiction over fantasy by lots here...

Ooookaayy.... I have to say I agree with you on this one (and you need to get yourself a better class of anime).
Perhaps one thing we are talking about is "plausibility" again. But I think we're also talking about depth of story. Giant robots are not especially plausible (why would anyone try to make a mechanical fighting vehicle with such an impractical form?) but
Neon Genesis Evangelion makes up for it (IMHO) with depth of characterization and exploration of psychological issues. (And nobody says "superpower fireball," though perhaps they do destroy the planet.) YMMV.
