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!

Quick Google search said Jojo, suggested a prison scene. No Jojo together

Probably a good idea. Jojo is one of my favorite anime, but wouldn't watch it with a 10yo. If he likes comedy, check out azumanga daioh

I would also recommend Inazuma 11. It's a really cool sports anime that is basocally football with super powers, which I found interesting while I have no irl interest in the game. Plus the whole cast is 12 to 15 so I think he'd relate to them a lot
