I'm not sure what everyone's problem with Anakin and Ashoka's interactions is.

The writing therein is much better than most animated series these days. Especially those found on Cartoon Network. It wasn't awful, it was tolerable, and even acceptable, because it seemed like fun little conversations two people such as them in that situation would actually be having. Anakin's padawan isn't sophisticated. She's a teenage girl. And a very believable one at that.

I mean seriously. What the hell would you have them saying? Completely humorless, inane technological Star Trek dialogue?

It was definitely a step up from the dialogue of the PT. And this is coming from a traditional Star Wars fan. 

"The writing therein is much better than most animated series these days"

Then most animated series these days must be crap. And this isn't just most animated series, this is a show that claims to be honest to God Star Wars. It's got a standard to live up to. Anakin and Ashoka's interaction is shallow and painful. He's the worst part of it. He acts like a petty jerk. This is very much the prequel Anakin, the painful jerk we saw in AOTC and ROTS. I don't think this is any step up from the PT. It's PT-shallow.
