is not the stories, cause if you seen animation you know the stories can be quite mature it's the medium
Again, irrational prejudices aside, they are mainly aimed at kids (from young young to high school age). The stories are aimed at kids, the writing is at a level that doesn't go over a kid's head, the characters are almost always kids, etc. At least as far as anime goes there are plenty of movies that break the mold, but as far as TV series goes, anime seems to be just one big cliche at this point. Not to sound condescending but it may just be that you're still in the target audience so you just don't notice.
