Not a particularly convincing point to me. To use examples from elsewhere Fantastic Planet has appallingly bad animation but tells a good story. South Park is deliberately awful but is liked by a lot of people (not me but it is still a valid example). Most of Hanna Barbera's animation was awful and a lot of people still enjoy them.
2) Terrible dialogue
Scene set in a Customs Hall... "Sightseeing?" "No, combat."
On arrival in an alternate world and seeing something odd...
"You saw it too? I thought I had the DTs!"
Just two that sprang to my mind in seconds. :)
3) Terrible overuse of cliche
Whilst there is some truth to this, I suggest that it is a complaint that can be unfairly levelled against any media or genre that the critic doesn't like and wishes to dismiss.
The one I'm guilty of is Star Trek (big red reset switch, nothing ever happens) but as dalekboy pointed out to me recently this isn't fair, especially for some seasons of Deep Space Nine.
4) Terrible pacing.
This is a matter of taste. Personally there are times when I adore the slow, gentle pacing of things like ARIA or Haibane Renmei.
OTOH there are times when I appreciate the rollercoaster ride that is Vision of Escaflowne that just never lets up once it gets going.
