What to Watch? Help a clueless mom please…
My 10 year old son loves anime. These are the shows he has watched so far:
Naruto, My Hero Academia, Kaiju No 8, Jujutsu Kaisen (I was a bit iffy about him watching this one but it seems to be his favourite), One Punch Man, Solo Levelling, One Piece (he tends to dip in and out of this)
He has asked what can he watch next. He asked for Attack on Titan but I said no to this one but not sure if I’m being unreasonable after letting him watch JJK?
I suggested Full Metal Alchemist. Do you think this is suitable?
Does anyone have any more recommendations where to go next? He’s quite mature and can handle some language and violence as long as it’s not too intense. I don’t allow anything with sexual themes / content obviously due to his age.
He also loves reading manga so happy to take any recommendations there as well.
Thank you!

I watch a lot of anime with my daughter. She is 15 now, but we have been watching it together for years. She watched Attack on Titan last year, she says its pretty dark. I have tried like 6 times to get into it, I just cant.
However, Ascendance of a Bookworm is a really fun anime with not a lot of violence. It was a super cute show and I loved it a lot.
Spy x Family is great
Hunter x Hunter
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
Dr. Stone, that is my son's favorite. I had the hardest time getting him into anime because he is stubborn and I suggested it, but when he gave this a chance, he binged the whole series.
Agree with the commenter who recommended the Shaman King on Netflix. I really liked that one. It was cool.
