My roommate and I talk about this a lot, seeing as how we're both academic-types who've been into anime for quite a while now. Mechademia and its related links are about as good as you're likely to find, and even then you have to do a lot of sifting to get through the drek and locate the insightful stuff. One of the big nonscholarly English-language anime magazines, Newtype USA, just folded a few months ago after a five-year run.
I'm sure there's good writing out there, but you're probably not going to find it in the usual sources. ^^;;
