When the camera pans really quickly on a dramatic pose or event three times, bonus points for watercolor freeze frame.

energy beams painting the landscape, followed shortly after by trailing explosions
obsessive eye for technical details like mecha-sized bullet casing properly crushing cars or giant detachable cables with air exhausts to break the fall once they detach
arc between mecha parts when they assemble into mechatron
animation breaks to highlight comedy
action scenes from a first person point of view

Very small guns or beams that make huge explosions.

when there's a big explosion and it makes a character's clothing billow in the wind created by the shockwave

when a fight scene lets you actually see a choreographed fight with multiple bodies on screen at once instead of exclusively close up shots of characters winding up for an attack or the attack connecting/getting blocked or the characters' faces talking, and there's more than 1 action a second

When a person realizes they forgot to account for something or something happens that they didn't expect and they struggle to hide their fear behind a stern face.

When spotlights audibly turn on and a platform begins to rise from the ground as the person on it gives an impassioned speech.

When a cute frog jumps into water.

Humanity's real enemy is me!
Hya hya foowah!
when a non-magical girl anime suddenly introduces a magical girl
women making bloodcurdling battlecries at the top of their lungs
mecha pilots dramatically saying goodbye or i'm sorry to their mech before ordering it to self destruct
when it's the final episode showdown and even the villain gets a moment where they have to persevere through willpower and fighting spirit
high budget animation of hands reaching for one another
that moment in the story when it's revealed that a secondary character is actually just as deep and complex as the main characters and is joining the crew
when there's a memorable lyric in the OP or ED and it unexpectedly comes up as dialogue in the actual episode
when a character is in a dangerous situation and just, dies
character gets blown away by an attack and is reduced to lineart and a white back ground
when characters team up and each friend says one part of the ultimate attack's name

i could go on all night, anime freakin rules

When a new character does something completely insane and another character responds with something like "Hmm... you're an interesting guy..." while smirking smugly with their arms crossed.

When it's time for the old man to teach these young upstarts a lesson.
