Hey, I make animated videos but they are not for kids. Will there be a way to designate this without age restriction? (I would give my content a PG rating)

The target audience is what's most important here (you know your videos best!). If your content isn’t made for kids, no action needed. More specifics/examples here: https://yt.be/help/pE5Q and we’ll have more resources & content strategy guides over the coming months to help.

Yes, my target audience is not kids. But I’m worried the bot or whatever will see an animation and decide “oh this is for kids” without taking into account the target audience.

It’s more about individual video content & its target audience, rather than a video’s general category (e.g. gaming or cartoons). This is why, in addition to our systems, creators will self designate their content as made for kids. More specific examples: https://yt.be/help/pE5Q
