    How old is she? xD Maybe Mushishi and Natsume Yuujinchou. If she's cool, then One Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100, and Attack on Titan.

    Natsume's Book of Friends might be a go.

    Cross Game is a really good baseball one. It's a little sad a first, but it sets the foundation for a lot of the interpersonal relationships that really drive the show.

    Kaleido Stage is an anime about an acrobatic company like Cirque du Solei. It is a bit older, so the animation isn't as crisp. Plus it was written for younger girls and it's a bit silly, but I would say that the friendships and lessons learned in it (along with the shows they throw) are actually really cool and sweet that even adults would enjoy.

    pretty sure that the thread starter doesn't follow this thread anymore, but since others might:

    anime movie:
    - tokyo godfathers
    - the anthem of the heart
    - grave of the fireflies / my neighbor totoro (i regret lending the dvd out n never got it back)
    - mirai - my best impression is actually about the architecture

    iyashikei:
    - hakumei to mikochi
    - deaimon
    - non non biyori (3 seasons)

    gag:
    - danshi koukousei no nichijou
    - nichijou -- the art might be off-putting though
    - cromartie high school -- the art might be off-putting though

    down to earth:
    - shirobako
    - police in a pod - watch it with ur father instead

    putting the question of whether or not a teen should watch this aside, I have no doubts that there are plenty of moms who would like the show.

    not a mom but an aunt that's around mom-age LOL so I guess I could answer this? Also is it okay if it's not a sports oriented anime? I'm mostly into josei and seinen so here you go:

    Gakuen Babysitters, Umaru-chan, Gokusen, Castle in the Sky(and other Ghilbis), Nodame Cantabille, Nana, Petshop of Horrors. Log Horizon, Tiger and Bunny

    Kingdom is historical military so IDK if it would interest you two.

    oh man, most of the choices shows my age HAHAHAHA.

    I agree, and Ghibli's like a movie so you can both watch a movie in one sitting..
