Anime for my daughter - a question (hexbear.net)

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.

I thought about that one, it's going on the list.

Piracy is always good but if you want to play for a sub service i think crunchyroll is pretty fine.

also for other recomendations maybe she will like some old action shonen like Fullmetal Alchemist and HunterxHunter

Thank you. I'm writing these down so I can start searching for them and torrenting. I'll look into crunchyroll too.

Seconding this.

The manga (comic) for Fullmetal Alchemist is pretty good, too. I'd recommend checking your library - depending on where you live you might have access to the comics for a lot of the stuff she already likes.

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

There's a library a couple miles away which I take her to once or twice a month. I completely forgot about the library. Thanks for the reminder!

Hianime.to works great as long as you've got an ad blocker, its got EVERYTHING Tho so if you give it to your kid they'll have access to whatever anime they look for

also, I cannot second Hunter x Hunter hard enough, watch it with her goddamnit!
