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.

Ah ok. That is a lot. As someone who draws fetish art for a living (though nothing at all as grotesque as something like that) I do sometimes find enjoyment in watching "the writer's poorly disguised fetish" type of shows sometimes. But not if it is something as disgusting as that and from the sounds of things, isn't even trying to be disguised as anything other than fetishistic. I think I see why people were singing the show's praises though. It sounds like it is very intense and "serious and mature" and implies that there will be greater meaning to all the awful stuff later. Which would also explain why the people saying it was great with the first season also all stopped talking about it afterwards.

I might check out Misfit of Demon Academy though, I get recommended a lot of slop by clients and it looks a lot like the sort of stuff they recommend I watch, but if it is so bad even they don't watch it it must be something really special.

Yeah, Misfit comes off more as something that someone who commissions goofy fan art might write themselves, but it's so expressive in that silliness that it's difficult in the first season to determine if it's meant to be funny or not. Based on the drag in later seasons though, it probably is somehow sincere.
