There are plenty of fan-coloured pages on the internet (Deviant Art among others), so that's not really it for me.

Seeing a good manga story combined with great voice actors and music is what I like most about anime. And in some cases seeing the scene move, rather than having it static, makes it easier to understand. Bleach is an extreme example, since there were a few battle-scenes where I didn't quite understood what happened, until I saw them in movement... though interestingly enough I don't have this problem anymore. Either I got used to the drawing style, or the drawings have become clearer since back then.

But while all that can add to the experience in comparison to the manga, poor animation quality and/or stupid fillers can still ruin it.

And when I say stupid fillers I only mean the stupid ones. Not all fillers are bad. For example Lucy being the one to motivate everyone into working together for destroying Thunder Palace wasn't in the manga, so it's a filler. But it isn't a stupid one. Or when they showed Loke fighting Gajeel. That was also a filler but a good one.

And then we have atrocities like in Mirajane vs. Jenny or the Millianna vs. Yuka and Lyon crap. Those are definitely the kind of stuff that ruins the experience rather than adding to it.
