Anime is like one of those things, you either like it or hate it. In the West many think animation in general are targeted towards children, the fact that its another form of media is overlooked, every anime I've come across, is able to entertain teenager and at the same time has a deeper message that adults understand.

A prime example, Studio Ghibli Movies, Ponyo sheds light on the environmental impact of dumping unwanted rubbish in the sea, not every teenager would think of such matters yet the parents or adult would start pondering on the issue, this is but one example.
