Netflix has a GREAT anime collection. "Evangelion" is a very good, cerebral series. It has some mature moments but nothing horrible. "Princess Nine" is a fun series (5 or 6 discs) about a girl's baseball team trying to compete in a boy's league. Some movies not to miss: Anything by Mizyaki. "Nausicca and Valley of the Wind", "My Neighbor Totoro", "Laputa: Castle in the Sky", "Kiki's Delivery Service", "Princess Mononoke", "Spirited Away", and now "Howl's Moving Castle". (If you have a thirteen year old girl start with "Kiki's Delivery Service". It's about a thirteen-year old witch who, in accordance with tradition, must leave home for a year to train on her own.) "Grave of the Fireflies" is well done, period tear-jerker. "Akira" is a classic, not to be missed. "Steamboy" is from the same director and very good but nearly as resonant in my opinion. "They Were 11" is a smart space mystery/thriller. There's a lot more I'm missing I'm sure... but those should be more than enough to get you started.
