Frieren is actually an incredible example that depth doesn't need to be there, just the attempt at it coupled with an in-group bias, correct marketing and promotion and a fandom of insecure people who need to feel some degree of intellectual validation because anime is mostly trash made for japanese children but they've raised it up as a much more legitimate art form than most other mediums
