Alright, I want to get my mom into anime. She's a decent woman who can tolerate violence (even to extreme levels, sometimes), and loves mystery, suspense, action, drama, romance, fantasy, and thriller. Sometimes she likes slice of life (hey, she watched How I Met Your Mother and loved it!). She's watched Avatar: TLAB and loved it (not an anime, but similiar). But I have grown up since then and I have watched other, more mature anime series, like K-Project, Attack on Titan, and more.
I have recently gotten into Unlimited Blade Works and Fate/Zero, and surprisingly, I have found out that Fate/Zero is on Netflix... and in English! I know that my family doesn't have the patience to read subtitles and look at the screen at the same time (mostly due to poor eyesight), and I wasn't sure if she would be able to stand the rapid Japanese-speaking characters.
I know my mom would like the story and plot of the show. I am trying to get her to start watching today, but I am somewhat worried. While there's no sexual activity or extreme gore and violence, there are many times where the anime gets dark/sad/extreme on other subjects. I know several things happen that are REALLY sad. I'm just worried that she wouldn't be able to handle specific parts (I'm telling you now, she's a teacher and LOVES little kids... to those who know what happens, you could guess what I think she wouldn't like). I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that she likes it... that way, I can get her into other anime as well!
What anime do you think are good for moms? Dads? Grandparents?
