as media for kids and teenagers

You clearly have never seen Animes from the "Seinen" genre.
Usually pretty dark or adult topics. You will notice it at some points in the story.
My current favorite is Oshi no ko which goes a bit behind the media industry and actually does show a fair bit of young adult topics (e.g. murder, intent to murder/revenge, child PTSD among other more lighthearted topics to keep it from being a depression show), Tokyo Ghoul would also fall into the seinen category.
For movies I liked Akira (an older movie) with the cyberpunk theme, Your Name,

Thanks for ignoring the mostly in my original comment and implying I was talking about all anime

Japan still mostly treats and creates anime as media for kids and teenagers
