I'd be careful stating something so general as "anime is deep" and "anime is not just for kids". Anime is a huge variety of things. Similar to me saying movies (non-animated) are deep and for adults. While this can be the case, it is not always. There are animes that fall so flat, it compares to the antics of Coyote and Roadrunner from Warner Brothers.

Also, the world certainly is now recognizing anime and manga for not being just for kids. But probably not in the way you'd like. They are actually being grouped together as porn more often than not in politics... Of course, video games are suffering from the same fate.
