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'm just happy to contribute.

Also, it's maybe more shojo-y than her main preference (despite actually being a seinen!), but if no one mentioned Violet Evergarden, that's another one I'd bring up. It's a really sweet show and it still has a little bit of action because the MC is a cyborg combat veteran who has basically been hired as an interpretive scribe to help people send messages to each other. That looks really weird written out and there's probably some discussion worth having about sexist elements like the objectifyingly-gendered nature of her new job (especially interesting since, again, she's a combat veteran), but I still think it overall has a good heart.
