Digital animation used incorrectly can seriously kill an anime. I'm not sure what you think of an anime like Akira (too popular for you?) but the traditional cel animation in it was amazing (albeit extremely costly). Same goes with Honneamise, Patlabor 2 and a couple of others. Digital animation lacks a lot of the imperfection that seemed to bring the characters to life. But many older traditional cel animated anime also took shortcuts in their production, so ultimately, those aesthetically had their own shortcomings. At least most series animated digitally don't end up reusing sequences.
