They can write a detailed mystery that keeps you intrigued while still eventually explaining the plot in a comprehensive way. I love how many of my favorite series add lots of little details throughout the plot that make you think and feel like they are creating an actual world. While regular TV shows can start with an interesting premise, they seem to be made up as they are going along, full of plot holes and introducing more questions than answers and padding most of their runtime with pointlessly drawn out character drama and sex scenes. Anime/manga cuts out most of that nonsense so you can see more actual story. Regarding action scenes, both types of media can be visually impressive, but I have seen several scenes in anime that went far beyond anything I have seen in a TV show. It's probably just easier to 2D animate really fantastical ideas rather than make realistic looking CGI for it. But that is what I think, as someone who enjoys all kinds of shows and manga.
