My daughter is 13, and is getting in to anime, I guess. She's been binge watching Attack on Titan this week. I know exactly nothing about it because I'm not interested in it, but I'd like to find her some good anime to watch, that isn't full of the typical borderline porno stuff it seems is popular with G*mers.

Can anyone suggest a couple to get her going? I'd like to do something for her and get a jellyfin server going but dunno what to put on it. What would you suggest for someone getting into anime? Are there services worth paying for? Should I just be sailing the seas?

Asking her she says she likes

No Hero Academia,
Naruto,
Dan Da Dan,
Jojo,

Thanks yall.

ETA - I just gave her the list of stuff suggested so far and she squealed. She says thanks. I appreciate yall. Kiddo is happy then daddo is happy too.

eta2 - I have to go to bed, I was supposed to be asleep an hour or two ago but everyone has given me such a big list to start on that I didn't want to not tell anyone thanks. Thank yall. I have a chance to give my daughter some media she will like, so I score some points with her for being a good dad, and I have a cheap excuse to sit and do something with her, even if it's just television entertainment. At some point mom and dad aren't priorities anymore and I have a chance to bond some more. I appreciate that the most I think.

Cromartie High School the manga is fucking hilarious so I'm sure the anime is probably just as funny. But I wonder if a 13 year old would get the jokes since it's mostly riffing how dumb teenage guys are in Japan.

Thanks. I'm adding that one to the list too.

Afaik there's nothing really problematic with it either since it's joking on youth delinquent culture and tough guys trying to be cool but they are actually massive fuck ups. There's some smoking, maybe alcohol? But I don't think there's gross sexpest shit.

That sounds perfectly aceeptable. I'm writing down a huge list of stuff to share with her. She's already looking up a few of the suggestions here. She says she has heard of the one you mentioned as a friend showed her a manga sometime recently.
