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 cannot emphasize strongly enough that it is not. It’s just kind of dull and gross and it doesn’t really go anywhere. It starts off iffy and just gets gross and then grosser and then also sad and then even grosser and this just goes on at a jerking pace while the whole time you can just feel the author’s quivering, breathless arousal seeping into the story and controlling the pacing in a very uncomfortable way. I have an extremely high tolerance for absolute garbage, I like piling up a big platter of weird, creepy nonsense to watch as a spectacle, and Made in Abyss actually ruined my week when I watched it.
If you want a rubbish spectacle, Sword Art Online and particularly the SAO: Alicization seasons are great for something to hate watch and riff on. It’s problematic, it has pacing problems in the early seasons, and the worldbuilding is literal nonsense through and though, but it does still have some redeeming qualities alongside its admittedly decent sakuga action scenes, and the themes of the Alicization arc are actually pretty good, it’s just that even Alicization is still SAO and has more of the other kind of SA than ever at least one instance of which just actually happens on screen out of nowhere in the middle of a fight. However, Alicization does do the best thing any SAO season has ever done and that’s put Kirito in a coma and just have him sitting there in the background of scenes, vacant eyes staring off into space and drooling on himself, while the female characters have all of the agency and do everything.
