Avatar TLA is obviously ace. The sib enjoyed The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, too. Anything else like that? We know about Ghibli obviously (Gillian Anderson in Mononoke might be the best beit of animated casting ever) and the sib is getting into Soul Eater. We liked the idea of Death Note, Fairy Tail etc but they weren't clicking for some reason. Sib also likes Ranma 1/2 and (I know it's not anime but) the new She-Ra. Also as an aside, if your recomendations don't involve pervy camera angles, Raiders-of-the-Lost-Ark level boobery and all that jazz, that'd be cool. It's just weird how much of the anime I've seen is basically a twelve year ld's wank bank fantasy. (yes I know Ranma has some of this but hey)
More for me, is there any all-ages anime that has no dialogue? I've really started to get into stuff like, say, Tom and Jerry, Shaun the Sheep etc. I even caught a recent Pokemon episode that was mostly just in Pokemon speak. I like the idea. Cheers!
You must have heard of stuff like One Punch Man and My Hero Academia, aye? I can't think of much pervy stuff in OPM, but MHA is a bit on the pervy side considering they're school children. Hunter x Hunter is another really good one. There are two versions of that, I've seen the newer of the two. I also recently got into Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure. Can't think of any questionable content in that except for one or two eps, and those are way down the line.
Other recommendations...
A Silent Voice (12 rating - redemption story about a school bully and a deaf girl)
Saiki K (Psychic kid in school. Format is bite size eps which usually don't have full continuity but do have a thread running through them which connects them, and then sometimes you'll get eps with full continuity)
Hi Score Girl (Romantic comedy set around 90s arcade games)
Can't think of any silent (as it were) anime, though...
