I'm not trying to say that it may not feel that way to you... but it isn't actually true.

It does feel that way to me sometimes. However, I'm the first to admit that my own tastes are weird.
But, I also understand that the studios are going to put out what's popular.

This hasn't ever not been the case. Anime has never been particularly "original" or "grown up". The only difference is that, nowadays, you have access to the full fire hose of content that you have to sort through on your own, whereas things were much more curated in decades past due to the language barrier. Of course, the overall quantity of productions has also gone up now compared to 10+ years ago too, so that increases the triage as well.

That's true, I guess.
I just have to look at what's out there.

There's nothing wrong with mecha.
It just seemed like for awhile there, every other show was mecha.
