10 Anime Series To Watch With Your Parents

5. Clannad

If you’ve ever imagined your mom crying during movies like The Notebook or The Fault in Our Stars in your head, she’s bound to easily be drawn into Clannad. This high school romantic drama presents an appealing cast of characters and a healthy dose of romantic tragedy for anyone who enjoys these tropes.

6. Barakamon

While this is a slice-of-life series, the fact that it revolves around a diverse cast rather than just cute girls makes it easier for a wider audience to appreciate. It’s also very funny, and moms are bound to fall in love with the curious little girl Naru.

7. Death Note

With the upcoming movie coming from Netflix in July, it’s possible your parents have already heard of this psychological thriller. If they have, introducing them to the source material should be easy, and its intense plot and fascinating game of cat-and-mouse will ensure they stay interested.

8. Detective Conan (Case Closed)

This long-running detective story is bound to appeal to people who enjoy crime shows on television, and as a family show in Japan it never gets too gory or sexual. The only problems with this show might be its insanely high number of episodes and the currently-stalled English dub (episodes 1-123 have been dubbed).

9. Ghost Stories

If your parents have a slightly more liberal sense of humor, they’ll appreciate the bizarre story behind the dub of Ghost Stories, which consists of licensors holding complete creative control, as well as the distinct American humor.

10. Attack on Titan

This action-packed hit will appeal to any parent with a strong stomach for gore. If your mom or dad’s the type to get queasy in a PG-13 Hollywood thriller, they’re not likely to make it through the brutal story. For anyone else, this is an easy way to show that anime isn’t just kids’ stuff.

In conclusion, you shouldn’t be afraid of sharing what you’re interested in with your parents. With the right series, you can show that maybe your interest in these strange cartoons isn’t as weird as it may seem on the surface. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find something new to bond over.
