Is she 15 or older? If so, I think it's almost time you have her watch Paranoia Agent. In fact, you should watch that series as well, Satoshi Kon is the man.
She'll be 15 in a few months, actually. I'll ask her if she knows about this one. Thanks.
You'll want to screen a little bit of it yourself first, just for the record. One or two episodes have some overtly mature themes. No nudity or anything that I'm aware of, but one episode focuses on a whore and another on a suicide pact, I think. Either way, it's a fantastic series from a fantastic director.
Whores? Suicide pacts? Sounds just like your basic Old Testament stuff. Nothing we haven't studied together in church.
(Just kidding. I'm agnostic.

I'll check it out-- I've been curious about what the appeal of anime/manga is for her. I have to admit that I do not understand it, not at all. And she's pretty talented and involved in all of it--- actually draws it, people pay her for some of her things-- And I don't even know what she--- I'm just kind of mystified by it. So! Paranoia Agent. I'll start there.
