This variation is interesting since it is a compound verb replaced with its root verb.
'Advertebam' means I was turning towards, turning my attention towards. 'Animadvertabam' heightens the meaning of attention with the addition of 'anima' meaning mind, soul.
'Animadvertabam' specifically means I was noticing, observing, judging. Both are possible in the context of this sentence, the choice depends on the specificity of the observation.
