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.

Sorry so late, after the thread lost momentum but it's been an absurdly busy work day and I'm just getting time to get back to HB. Just curious but what makes it age inappropriate? I think someone else suggested it also. I'm ok with some age inappropriate stuff but I guess I'd have to see how much age inappropriate.

NGE is more or less what would happen if an actual shonen plotline took place and how the stress and trauma would break those involved. There really aren't any characters who are remotely okay, so suicide, self harm, alcoholism, and abusive relationships (including a couple questionable relationship between teenagers and adults) are all major plot points. Also, the emotional appeal might be lost on her as she probably doesn't have a lot of the relevant life experience (at least I hope she doesn't). That, and the movie is great but there is a scene of the main character masturbating over his comatose peer in a hospital bed. I don't know if it is harmful, but it would probably be more enjoyable and impactful when she's older.
