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.

The Heike Story: an 11-episode historical epic set during the Genpei War in japan, based on an epic of the same name. it follows a young biwa minstrel who can predict events before they happen. there's some violence due to its subject matter but nothing over-the-top, and it's one of the most beautifully directed and animated shows i've seen in a really long time. super super slept on. also written and directed by women so there's no g*mer stuff, in fact it's very ghibli-esque if you're familiar with them.

The Rose of Versailles: an oldie but a goodie, this is another historical anime (40 episodes this time) set during the events leading up to the french revolution and follows a fictional french guard, Oscar François de Jarjayes, who was born a woman but raised to live as a man. lots of LGBTQ+/feminist themes, and the manga its based on was written by Riyoko Ikeda, who drew inspiration from her time as a DYLJ member. the anime is very stylish and cinematic, especially in the latter half which was directed by Osamu Dezaki.

Those both sound like interesting concepts. I'm going to bed in a couple minutes but I'm adding these to the list before I do. Thanks for the recommendations.
