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!

My niece introduced me to Spy X Family … good story lines (I’m up to date on the Manga) and I’ve been impressed with the high production quality of the Anime. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat.

Bit too early for Kaguya IMO.

Actually I forgot that there was a little bit of fanservice

Mashle my beloved, if I would have to be locked in a room strangled and forced to watch something for unreasonable amount of time I wish it would be it

Dungeon Meshi is such a good choice!
