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.

it's got a revolutionary tone,

It sneers about fat cats, but it never has a revolutionary tone. Being revolutionary isn't just about being populist. It was, at its least bad, oriented toward the extermination of an acceptably savage Other that the fat cats got in the way of the efficiency of, and then it basically reveals that the main setting, the walled city surrounded by man-eating monsters, was fantasy Israel all along, and the only way for the fantasy Zionists to live in peace is a world-consuming genocide against humanity, but the twist is that it's heroic and not all of the foreign humans were killed, just 80% of the global population. Now all the humans can live in peace!

Having your reading is actually a good demonstration of how fascists can superficially coopt leftist critiques and then use them to advance their warmongering nationalist brutality.

I meant in a death of the author kind of way both readings are possible, even if the fascist one is clearly the one intended, I shouldn't have been so charitable. Thanks for correcting me 👍
