I'm now 20 and have grown out of watching anime. Anyone else here not watching as much stuff as they used to?

me, i haven't really grown out of anime. i don't watch as much now as i used to, but that's just because i'm more selective than i used to be.
when i was in high school, anime was some big new thing, everything was interesting because it was so different. now, i've seen so much anime, most of it's pretty much the same to me, much like regular north american television shows. i used to watch television regularly when i was younger too.
but if there's something particularly interesting, something that's makes it a new experience again, i'll jump on it and enjoy it. whether it's anime or not is irrelevant at this point.
i still find that anime provides more new and interesting concepts for me. whether this is because creators have a higher degree of creative control in Japan than here, or if it's just because they're drawing from a culture so different than the one i live in, i don't know. frankly, so long as they pump out interesting stuff, i don't really care either.
