As for Anime, my favorite movies include:
Lensman (first anime with computer generated graphics back in the early 90s)
Vampire Hunter D
Akira
Ghost in the Shell
Harlock Space Pirate
Shows:
Attack on Titan
Robotech (all time fave, they have it on netflix, all 85 episodes, but listed as one season)
Castlevania (netflix)
The new Voltron is pretty good (also on netflix)
Souleater (netflix)
Sword Art Online (kind of like a cartoon version of ready player one, only on netflix for another month)
Seven Deadly Sins (netflix)
Naruto is a classic, and very funny at times
Knights of Sidonia is pretty good
ID-0
Full Metal Alchemist is excellent
I know it sounds cheesy, but I really enjoyed watching Avatar: the last airbender with my kids. Very well done and kid friendly. The sequel, Legend of Korra is decent but not as good. Still kid friendly though.
My kids liked Skylander Academy, but they like the skylanders games. They also liked Little Witch Academia a lot. It’s kind of an all girl cartoon version of Hogwarts. My younger son likes the new Dragon Prince show on netflix, but my older son says the animation is too sloppy for him. My younger son also likes Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, but it’s mostly computer generated, so my older son doesn’t like it. Not really true Anime though.
My kids also love the Pokemon shows and movies.
Which Full Metal Alchemist? Because Brotherhood is the much much better anime between the two (it stays following the manga).
I loved Sword Art but the new one left a lot to be desired.
I started watching Naruto last year and hated it until I found out ot was because of all the fillers. I gound a website showing what was filler and what wasn't and now I love it! Almost done with Shippuden (sp?) then I will start Boruto.
Have you tried Death Note? I find even people who don't like anime get super into it. Watching L and Light have a battle of wits (both are geniuses) was so intense. It's also interesting because Light is the main character we follow who originally has a noble purpose (kill off all the evil and bad people) but gets so used to that power he starts killing those who want to stop it. So he is evil but also the protagonist, it's led to great discussion on whether what he does is right or wrong, deserving of punishment, and should you cheer for him to outsmart L.
I wanna start My Hero Academia soon, I've heard it's possibly the best all around anime ever but that seems extreme.
Also wanna try One Piece soon.
