I know solution- use Blu-code for this kind of sources- it has very good bitrate allocation on the actual frame. Even if it will be bit softer than x264, overall encoded file looks better- more equal quality.
x264 is not very good at high bitrates due its low bitrates optimisations. My tests showed exactly the same problem as yours on many different sources- not even anime. When it comes to source with gradients x264 is not the best choice.

Also fades are still very problematic as they were at the beginning.

I've done some test recently at 4Mbits and x264 was great in high motion, but terrible with fades and not that great with some low detailed scenes.
