So what is the greatest full-length anime film ever made?
That's highly subjective and a bit broad. We just recently had a story about the "Best Sci-Fi Film of All Time" and very few people agreed. Add to that that anime is a medium and not a genre (Just try to tell me that Spirited Away and Akira are in the same genre) and you have a question that is all but unanswerable.
Just to name a few "must see" feature-length films:
"[D]o licenses bring excessive expectations to a persistent world where everyone wants to be the hero?"
Actually, from what I've seen, the difficulty would lie in the number of people who want to be the villain. It is a very popular role, but, unfortunately, one that the game developers never really flesh out. Villains, by nature, do dastardly, nasty, things that game developers (and the companies holding the license) don't want to give the characters freedom to do.
1. Vile, profane, rude, or racist names including common swear words, anatomical references, racial slurs, and homonyms of these words. 2. Combinations of words that produce an offensive result (e.g. Hugeaz, Tug Mcgroin). 3. Names of religious, occult, or significant historic origin (e.g. Jesus, Allah, Satan, Stalin, Angel, Devil, Demon). 4. Trademarked names of products, services, or concepts (e.g. , Marlboro, Sony, Band-Aid). 5. Non-fantasy or non-science fiction oriented names from popular fiction or non-fiction media either fictional or non-fictional (e.g. Bill Clinton, Austin Powers, Britneyspears, Harrypotter) 6.Common words and phrases that would not be found in the setting of the game (e.g. Television, Cellphone, Pickuptruck, Dude). This includes references to drug substances or drug related paraphernalia. (e.g. Ecstacy, Cannibis) 7. Proper names from the Star Wars universe, including the first or last name of any significant NPC in Star Wars Galaxies or the Star Wars universe (e.g. Skywalker, Greedo, Vader, Exar Kun, Xizor, Fett, Tuskien) 8. Names chosen with the intent, or possessed of the effect of harming the reputation of, or used to impersonate a customer or representative of Sony Online Entertainment, LucasArts, Lucasfilm Entertainment Company, or any of their partners or affiliates. 9. Names containing titles within them, such as, but not limited to: The, Lord, Lady, Master, King, Knight, Sir, Father (e.g. Sirtallon, Lordeagle, Mothermaggy, Darksister). 10. Fantasy-oriented names that are easily recognized from popular existing media (e.g. Gandalf, Pikachu, Drizzt, Godzilla, Aslan). 11. Names where the combination of the first and last name violate a previous rule (e.g. Harleeda Vidsonn, Clint Eastwood).
I think its more a question of: If they have the rights they can show it on this giant leap of faith of a channel and if it's successful, then they will show other things.

Or are they just throwing salt in the ground so that nothing grows back? (Anyone get that vague reference?)
No, could you vague it up just a little more?
