What is this obsession that anime seems to have with drawing a distinction between adults and youngsters? Oftentimes in anime you will hear lines like "adults are all liars" or "as adults we have to take responsibility for this" or something along those lines. Is it Confucianism at work?

It's about targeting demographics and pandering to their special snowflake syndrome

Aren't the demographics supposed to be adults? These are late night anime we're talking about.

You adults don't understand anything.
You're watching cartoons, my man.

what's 4chan's obsession with calling everybody who doesn't agree with them underages?

The losers who keep watching late-night anime are teenagers and young adults.

It's easier to cope with imagining that the poster who posts dumb shit that infuriates you is just a young person trying to trigger you on purpose, instead of facing the truth that it's actually just other fellow adults being dumb unironically. If all fellow adults are actually extreme morons, then the adult getting angry will have to reflect on his own behavior when looking in the mirror, wondering if he too isn't actually just a fucking dumb moron pissing off other dumb moronic adults.
Blaming the young for being annoying and not respecting their elders is time-honored tradition that mankind's been doing since at least early Mesopotamian times. Even if the elders never really deserved respect in the first place.
Did someone say "adults"?
Many cultures value their youth as a demographic and want to make a good society for them.
It runs counter to the other view that they're "no good layabouts" or so on.
Childhood is fun. Adulthood is about getting older and then dying.
Japan has an relatively exaggerated "fuck old people" sentiment thanks to the war
There's always a bit of "fuck old people" in every society, but that stuff gets a boost of steroids after the old guard ruins everything in a major way for a while.
It's only further magnified by shit like Gundam that turned that shit into a narrative cliche
Because target audience is group of young males?
When we say anime is a childrens cartoon, we arent memeing. Kids are retarded and think highly of themselves while disregarding adults.

Children are the real adults.
