I've seen the first series and I know these sorts of examples. However I have also been trying to balance some game time in there along with watching a marathon of Zelda games for some UK charity up to Skyward Sword release day. Right now they are about to beat Links Awakening.Steroyd said:
Alright, I have a soon to be 13 year old niece. She likes anime (I played a small part in that >_>) and usually I'm pretty good about picking stuff out she digs. Has anything come out recently that would be age appropriate that I could give her for Xmas?
She likes and/or has:
InuYasha (yeah...)
Naruto
FLCL (oops! saw me watching this one and liked it though basically all of the innuendo thankfully went over her head)
Slayers
Air TV
Soul Eater
Ultra Maniac
Ghibli movies
Black Cat
Probably more, but that's all I can think of right now.
So, I would like suggestions for something fairly recent that would be like those and has had a US release please

Does she have a Blu-ray player?
She might like Martian Successor Nadesico. Kino's Journey is something I suggest to everyone as well. Top class stuff there.Blackheim said:Alright, I have a soon to be 13 year old niece.

Also, Casshern Sins is pretty popular among 13-16 year old girls and the like on Youtube it seems. It has fabulous looking prettyboys doing cool stuff and is pretty good to boot. It comes in a complete series set with all the BDs and DVDs.

She might like The girl Who Leapt Through Time.
Also, Summer Wars was pretty fun.

That's some good stuff, I've been holding out for a blu-ray of that for myself >_> I may show her an episode to gauge her reaction. Kino, hmm, she seems to like the wacky stuff so I'm not sure she'd take to that immediately, or at all for a while.
Aigis said:
Hmm, yeah I remember seeing that. I'd have to consult her dad about that one. He and I watched it and if he says ok, I'll show her an episode or 2 and again gauge her reaction.

My little sister is about that age, she absolutely LOVES Fruit Basket, Azumanga Diaoh, Midori Days, Kaleido Star, Karin and One Piece.
Yeah screening anime can be a pain in the ass at times, especially shows that look okay on the surface. ¬_¬
icarus-daedelus said:
The appropriateness of the later arcs may be sort of in doubt, but the entire anime watching contingent of my 13-15 year-old girls-only dorm was hooked on the first arc way back when it first came out on VHS. If it's not too old, the first box set actually wouldn't be too crazy (we also loved Fushigi Yuugi, in all of its melodrama, and Rurouni Kenshin was really popular.)
Skip Beat really needs a US DVD release, because that'd be a good one.
Branduil said:
Haha, well, she's notorious for saying doesn't like something and then 2 weeks later she's like OMG DID YOU KNOW THIS THING IS AWESOME?! And I'm like, uhhh didn't I show/ask/tell you about that a bit ago and you didn't like it? She gets all shy and is like yeaahhhh, BUT IT'S SO GOOD, LEMME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT!!! And then I'm lost to a pre-teen/teen girl tripping over her words trying to tell me all about something. :/ She's something else heh...
But... My little sister first watched it when she was 13 and she liked it alot... Then again, she did watch Evangelion a couple months later and laughed when Kaworu got his head popped off... >__>cajunator said:
Hey, if she liked Air, a change of pace is always nice. Show her a few episodes of Kino and see what she thinks. I wouldn't underestimate her.Blackheim said:
Steroyd said:
Oh yeah, she has seen/likes Fruits Basket I think. Azumanga might actually be something, I've thought about buying it before. Maybe this year. Well, Midori Days is cute and all, but tiny Midori tits and loud brash sister tits probably should be avoided
I've checked out Kaleido Star and was on the fence about that one too, not sure. She says she doesn't like One Piece (even though she hasn't seen a single episide) so that means she'd probably like it going by past history hah. Uchip said:
K, I'll keep it in mind then, thank you
icarus-daedelus said:
Oh, no doubt, would probably give her an personality identity and sexual identity crisis and that probably wouldn't be the worst that happened

Summer Wars is a good family movie.Blackheim said:
Hm.. Escaflowne, Azumanga Daioh, Spice and Wolf, or FMA: Brotherhood might be good choices? Summer Wars would also be a good one.Blackheim said:Alright, I have a soon to be 13 year old niece.

Oh yeah, she has the first season of Spice and Wolf, I got that for her last Xmas.
trejo said:
Yeah, just because I don't participate much in these threads doesn't mean I don't know the more 'notorious' shows that come out
I'll add those other two to the list to screen though, thank you

Your niece has good taste. Check out this post. From there, I would recommend Getbackers (it's in English, but Takao didn't put it in the post), Busou Renkin, and maybe Fairy Tail. Possibly Negima as well, but there's a decent amount of implied partial nudity. A 13 year old could probably handle it though since it's totally innocent.

Season 2 came out a few months ago.Blackheim said:
cosmicblizzard said:
Yeah, something like that is fine as long as it's not sexualized nudity, if you know what I mean. She's seen some of and likes Ranma ½
Instro said:Wait a minute, Oreimo just released last month didn't it? You should buy her that
Sounds great! I'll grab Urotsukidoji to go along with it!
>_>
Hellsing321 said:
Another possibility, though she hasn't talked much about it in a while so I thought I'd try something she wasn't familiar with.

Teenage girls of this era are unlikely to be willing to put up with 10 minutes of every 22 minute episode being reused animation. :3

It's about Deen being Deen.Cwarrior said:
Kodocha isn't recent, but it's a pretty good wacky/dramatic combination that is age-appropriate and easily/cheaply accessible in the US (well, half, but that's still a good 50 episodes)
The US VHS box art even played up the Sailor Moon connection. I'm just glad we were suckered in by it; when we gradually got access to the rest of the show later, it was epic payoff.

It's Umineko no Naku Koro ni. People who played the VNs hated the anime adaptation, much more so than they did the Higurashi anime. If you've never read the VNs and have no plans to, the series is pretty OK. It has a fantastic OP and the production values actually seem pretty decent as Studio DEEN shows go. If you haven't watched Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, you should go watch that first, the production values are terrible in the first season but DEEN actually completed the entire main story arc over 2 seasons and it's GLORIOUSLY BLOODY.
UUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

Are they running a restaurant or an insane asylum?
The post-credits scene was frightening.
I like that the OP/ED have been updated to reflect the new characters.
Save yourself! The OP and ED are the only worthwhile parts of the anime. Stick to the VN if you're interested in the story.
