People like anime because it is (often) set in a fantasy world, where awesome stuff (often) happens that (often) wouldn't happen in real life.
It's hard to say anything about anime as a whole, since there are so many different types. It's kind of like asking "why do you like hollywood films?"
I don't like all anime, and neither does anyone else (probably); there are series where the story progression is so slow or non-existent that I can't be bothered to watch it (Naruto lol), and there are series which I just find plain boring. Personally, there isn't a special formula that makes an anime I enjoy, because my interests wane and change, but often I stick with an anime because I feel an emotional connection with a character (or characters).
Anime like Kanon and Clannad have characters which are specifically designed to create an emotional attachment (so-called moe characters). When these people are on-screen, you want to listen to them - you have an imaginary conversation with them in your head. To you, they are real people until the last episode ends. Sometimes, this obsession lasts after that point (see "waifu" threads on /a/). Haruko-san~~~
Anime like Cowboy Bebop and Full Metal Panic have interesting main characters who are often unpredictable. It's fun to see what they will do next, how they will react to a given situation, and they normally have some cool moves to pull off as well. It's easy to become attached to these characters as well. There is often plenty of fanservice in these types of anime as well, often in the form of girls with shiny breasts and short skirts.
More would go here but I went and did something else and now I lost my train of thought fuck you.
