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.
My daughter loves to draw, she’s very artistic. I think some of the more artsy stuff she would still like.
You’ve given some good suggestions, and I will get them on the list for her. She’s in bed for school tomorrow so it’ll be after she is off school and I’m finished w work but I really appreciate you taking the time to suggest these.
As a side note, I had to explain hexbear to my 13yo tonite as she asked me where I was getting all these suggestions as she knows I’m not an anime type of guy.
‘Is it like Reddit?’
‘No honey, it’s not like Reddit’
‘Oh what is it then’
‘I don’t know I can’t really explain it’
‘What do yall talk about on there?’
thinking of my post history
‘It’s called shitposting honey’
‘Oh ok’.
I didn’t give her the URL. Lol
Land of the Lustrous is absurdly good art, depicts a literal a commune of characters who are all different gems, and is absolutely fantastic. It’s manga and art books are absolutely gorgeous.
It is probably my #1 show. If you want something that will inspire her art put her on the show first, then get her the manga and art books if she likes it.
She would absolutely love that I think. That might be a Christmas present for her. Thank You
It is also historically significant for anime. It was the first anime to really do 3d cg and do it GOOD. There have been a few shows since that now incorporate 3d in great ways none of the good uses of 3d we now see would exist if this show hadn’t shown how it should be done correctly. Prior to Land of the Lustrous/Houseki no Kuni 3d in anime was always a running joke, and always very bad.
only good 3d CG show
To be Hero X was very good
