same shit, low contrast.

Take a look at a proper anime picture, each hair "blade" has it's contrasty shadow and it's hilight.
The skin has high contrast shadow, your picture barely has ony contrast.
So yes, use wider value range.
Don't be afraid to make your shadows deeper, and your hilights brighter. Overdoing it will be better than not doing it.
