I've only just discovered anime and am 34. I can't speak for the non film everyday type anime, but the two films I saw were very beautiful - Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke.
I think like anything that touches the psche the key is not to take them literally, but to instead think about the messages in the metaphor they present. It's kind of like Harry Potter. I may be 34, but I would love a world where we battle with wands and fly on broomsticks and so on, yet the real wandwork is that which we do inside our heads.... and understanding this is what makes the magic real.
It's a subjective world inside our own heads so the key is to make the world the way you want it to be. You see what you expect to see, so change your expectations.
