I don’t watch anime much, but I recommend Avatar: The Last Airbender 100% 👌 Has a nice balance of fun and seriousness, as well as good character arcs and plot 😉

@whalekeeper. Thanks! I’ve heard a lot about it. I watched a bit when I was younger but honestly, I didn’t enjoy it a whole lot. 😅 But thanks for the suggestion! 😀

I know you posted this like two months ago, but I do have some suggestions!
Literally any movie by Hayao Miyazaki. He is an absolute GENIUS. The movies are real anime (made in Japan, anime art style) but they aren’t obnoxious or inappropriate like most anime. A lot of them are cute romances which I actually enjoy (which is rare) and all of them are family movies. My favorites are probably Nausicca of the Valley of the Wind, Ponyo, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Castle in the Sky, and Howl’s Moving Castle (sorry that’s a long list).
Also, look out for Princess Mononoke. It’s made by Miyazaki’s son and is really gory.
Also, also, Avatar the last airbender is awesome and one of my favorite shows ever, so you get a double recommendation on that. (Though it was made by Nickelodeon in America so it’s not technically anime)
Have you drank water today?

Whoo, my kind of topic 😀
I’ll second @loopylin ! The studio Ghibli movies are BEAUTIFUL and I love their writing so much! They just feel so warm and soft. I’ve watched Ocean Waves, Whisper of the Heart, Arietty, and When Marnie Was Here, and I loved all of them! Arietty might have been my favorite!
In a similar vein, I also really loved Flavors of Youth. It’s an anime movie, made up of three short films. They’re all kind of slow, slice of life stories, and the storylines are beautiful and so is the art! It’s so soft and atmospheric! All three of them are completely clean with nothing weird in them. The first story centers around food, the second around clothes, and the third around home. It’s very much a comfort movie!
Another series I really loved was Violet Evergarden! The art style is BEAUTIFUL and the storyline is very emotional. It’s a bit slow-paced, but worth the time! It doesn’t have any weird content, though it does have some war violence and is occasionally emotionally heavy, plus maybe one joking innuendo, iirc. I’ve just watched the first series of it, there are like two movies as well, but I haven’t watched those yet!
I’ve extensively info dumped to you about Haikyuu before, so I’ll spare you that this time XD Anyway, yes, that one’s completely clean, I think the only thing that could count as content is some mild language. It’s just so good, I love it a lot!
