    Alternatively, you can watch one episode of Violet Evergarden once a week.

    Cowboy Bebop: The Movie

    Your Name

    Violet Evergarden

    Perfect Blue

    Paprika

    Metropolis

    There's a bunch of great animated movies.

    If you're referring to series then among the best Seinen classics are shows like:

    Berzerk (1997)

    Monster (2004) [My personal favorite]

    Cowboy Bebop

    Steins:Gate

    Vinland Saga (newer)

    Frieren (newer)

    There's a lot of Shounen classics as well, my favorite probably being

    Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    granted there's several tropes in it that aren't going to be as enjoyable to watch on repeat for older folks. But the storytelling and plot is practically like Breaking Bad but in anime form.

    GitS for 11 y/o?

    A bit too early, IMO, a not because Major's tits, but because besides a nice artwork it would be a dull, slow, non-sensical film with 99% of the plot over the head because 11 y/o doesn't know yet and doesn't know how to process that.

    But while we are here, I would advise Violet Evergarden then, it's rough sometimes, but for a kid who already seen GitS I doubt it would be a problem. It's very beautiful both visually and story wise. And watch past the credits, ffs.

    This is really sad. KyoAni (Kyoto Animation) is, as said in other thread, one of the current best animation studios in the world. I grow up watching their animes and thinking how they're amazing compared to the majority of japanese studios.

    Some animes bought by them:

    - Full Metal Panic (many laughs, amazing characters and great animation)

    - Air (this is the first time that I did cry in a series of any kind)

    - Kanon (really good adaptation of this great Visual Novel)

    - Clannad (a really emotional series for me, even if the Visual Novel is better the anime still does a great service for this series)

    - Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (this is the anime that made me fan of them, a unique approach of slice of life and overpowered beings that was great in its time)

    - Lucky Star (funny otakus done right)

    - K-On! (a good anime showing cute girls doing cute things)

    - Hyouka ("Sherlock Holmes goes to a japanese high school")

    - Nichijou (funny nonsense done right)

    - Sound Euphonium (I still remember that amazing scene at episode 11)

    - Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (a great surprise, this seems like a goof series on its premise however it is so heartwarming)

    - Violet Evergarden (this is available in Netflix and I recommend simply because the animation is amazing and the story is really emotional)

    I don't really care about the reasons of the suspect, there are better ways to claim copyright infringement, and even if it didn't, there is no reason to take human lives.
