Also I heard a big problem in how the west 'sees' anime is that all that gets brought over here is licensed stuff which tends to be the big popular series and related/similar genres which they're pretty sure will sell. Anything else requires either a company taking a gamble on something, or that some rando with talent both really loves a more obscure series and also love them enough to want to do the hard work of making a presentable fan-translation. So all we get is a small snapshot of comics from the big publishers, labour-of-love projects, and porn. Any truth to that?

In addition to all the reasons that have been given already, a teenage character can make impulsive decisions or undergo drastic character development in ways that might be implausible for an adult.
