Good anime for a 13 year old girl?

My friend just started to get into anime. She's 13, and so far the only anime she's seen and liked are the first season of Tokyo Ghoul and Death Note. She started watching SAO and the second season of Tokyo Ghoul, but stopped because she thought SAO was really bad and she just lost interest in the season 2 of Tokyo Ghoul. She plays video games like Super Smash Bros., Undertale, Zelda, and Pokémon. Knowing her, I think she'd like something dark, fast-paced, exciting, and thought-out, preferably with some comedy and little to no romance. Any suggestions?

    First of all, I have a lot of things in common such as: I love Death Note, Smash Bros, Zelda, and Pokemon, so here are my recommendations.

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood- similar to Avatar: The Last Airbender, very good story, lots of action and some comedy

    Nichijou- slice of life anime about some girls daily lives, very funny.

    BTOOOM- I love this show! People get trapped on an island where they have to fight in a "Hunger Games" style fight with the weapons from a popular video game.

    Attack on Titan- Lots of action and a great story about protecting a city from giant titans invading

    Pokemon Origins- a short show that reenacts the story of the original Pokemon game in anime

    Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion- Fairly similar to Death Note. Futuristic war where a boy uses a power to be able to take over the will of any person

    Cowboy Bebop- Action / comedy about bounty hunters in space

    Hope she enjoys these!

    Well, I guess we are about the same age then! In my opinion, I feel that I enjoy Anime with Action, where girls are stronger, none of those screaming, fainting girls. Or those, Oh-My-God-I-Feel-So-Sick-Will-You-Carry-Me-To-My-Room type of girls. I have watched a few anime, and I really enjoy the following below:

    1. Kuroshitsuji(season 1-3) About a boy whose family was killed during a fire when he was ten years old. He made a contract with a demon name Sebastian(named after his dog), that the demon will help him achieve revenge against the people who killed his family, and when he is done with his revenge, he will offer his soul in return. They ended up solving a lot of mysteries given by the Queen, since Ciel(the boy), is also known as the Queen's Guard Dog. This is the only anime where I watched all the seasons, OVAs, and Manga. It is a really nice anime in my opinion.

    2.Sword Art Online. About a boy trapped inside an online virtual reality game called Sword Art Online. In the game, the players cannot log out, and if they die in the game, they die in the real life. The only way they can get out of it is if they defeat the boss in floor 100th. Well, the first half of the anime is about that. The second half is where the boy is trying to rescue a girl he met in the virtue game, who got trapped inside a different virtue game called Alfheim online.

    3. D.Gray-man. About an exorcist, people who 'destroy' demons, or akumas, named Allen Walker. He traveled around the world to defeat Akuma created by people's sorrow. There, he joined a group call the Black Order. Where a whole group of people fights against the Akumas.

    4. Uraboku

    About a boy whose was a girl in his past lives. He and his partner, Luka, a demon, and other guardians called the Zweilt Guardians fight together to defeat Akuma, mainly, the person behind all these, Reiga.

    5. Black Bullet

    If you like Sword Art Online, you should try Black Bullet. The drawing is pretty similar to Sword Art Online. It is about a boy and his partner fighting monsters that can only be defeated by cursed childs or a black metal called Varanium.

    6. 07-ghost

    About a boy named Teito Klein who escaped from his military Academy with the help of his friend. He landed in a Church Sanctury, where three bishops looked after him until he properly mastered his powers and then he can leave the church ground.

    Other suggestions:

    Devil and Realst- a boy who can choose the next ruler of hell.

    Kyou Kara Maou--a boy being teleported to a different world and was being crowned the king.

    monochrome factor--a boy pairing up with a older guy to balance the light and the shadow.

    I just started watching the anime "Monster" and it really gives me the same vibe that the anime Death Note gave me, the chills, the excitement for the next episode, the thriller! I highly recommend it, and I've only seen 1 episode.

    TOP 10 COMEDY ANIMES:::

    1. Kore wa Zombie desu ka? (Is This a Zombie?)

    Episodes: 12

    Aired: Jan 11, 2011 - Mar 30, 2011

    This anime is full of ... unimaginable situations and outrageous/exaggerated scenes of awkwardness and ....yeah. But, it's pretty damn funny and made me laugh a bunch.

    Aside from the situations brought to the viewers attention, nothing really made complete sense, and the events taking place did a very good job distracting me from what was really happening to how it happened. The series is about a high school boy named Aikawa Ayuma who one day is killed by a serial killer and then suddenly revived as a zombie.

    A necromancer named Eucliwood Hellscythe is the one who brings him back and has Ayuma serving as a personal guard for her. At the same time, he prevents Eu from her masou-shoujo magic power, which leaves her with no choice but to have Ayuma fighting against the anti-masou-shoujo system in her stay.

    2.. Beelzebub

    Episodes: 60

    Aired: Jan 9, 2011 - Mar 25, 2012

    Beelzebub is a unique comedy anime that will either have you wondering what the heck is going on or make you laugh until it hurts and it's not funny anymore. The main focus about the comedy in this anime revolves around the demon baby and how a teenager must raise it.

    Because of the demon baby, a lot of the characters in the series go through interesting situations that will make you cry while laughing. The series is about a juvenile delinquent, Tatsumi Oga, who is a first year high school student at a school for delinquents.

    He falls asleep by a river one day and notices a man floating downstream. Tatsumi rescues the man who suddenly splits in half and reveals a baby boy. The baby turns out to be the child of the demon king and Tatsumi has been chosen to raise the baby along with the babies demon maid, Hilda.

    This begins lifes challenges for Tatsumi while raising the demon baby.

    3. Azumanga Daioh

    Episodes: 26

    Aired: Apr 9, 2002 - Oct 1, 2002

    Azumanga Daioh is a classic comedy series that is filled with everyday life experiences and challenges in some of the funniest ways possible.

    The series is about the lives of a group of girls who become friends from the beginning of high school. All of the girls have unique and unusual personalities that defines them and separates them from the rest. You have a 10 year old prodigy, the resident airhead, the shy cat lover who is great at sports, a loose canon, a short tempered one, and a jock.

    The situations in school life happen to bring these crazy characters together in the most comedic way. The series just so happens to depict what it really is like at high school in Japan.

    4. School Rumble

    Episodes: 26

    Aired: Oct 5, 2004 - Mar 29, 2005

    School Rumble is a show that doesn't really follow a plot because its too busy throwing random situations of guys chasing girls, while providing some hilarious jokes and some that are just down right silly.

    The series follows Tsukamoto Tenma who is a second year high school student and falls in love with a classmate. Shy to confess her feelings for him, Tsukamoto finds out he's transferring to another school at the end of the year.

    At the same time, another classmate of Tenma's, Harima Kenji, is in love with her and he's too shy to confess his feelings. This begins the comedic love triangle in a high school full of kids.

    5. Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO)

    Episodes: 43

    Aired: Jun 30, 1999 - Sep 24, 2000

    Contrary to the beliefs of what it's really like at high schools in Japan, you have some areas that are like Azumanga Diaho, and others that are like Great Teacher Onizuka. GTO is a great anime that is complimented very well with the standards of the board of educations in Japan, while presenting a wonderful comedic essence to the viewer.

    The series is about a former biker gang leader, Onizuka, beginning his new ambition of becoming the world’s greatest teacher. This was thought out at first by means of meeting young high school girls, but instead assertive administrators and trouble-making students come between him and his mission of meeting girls.

    As the students attempt to drive Onizuka away, he uses his own methods of discipline to bring order amongst his students, and that's when it gets interesting and funny.

    6. Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou (Daily Lives of High School Boys)

    Episodes: 12

    Aired: Jan 10, 2012 - Mar 27, 2012

    Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou is another great anime filled with tons of hilarious jokes and funny situations with wonderful common anime tropes. Tadakuni, Hidenori, and Yoshitake are all male students attending the same school at Sanada North High School.

    They're all laid-back and unobtrusive, but that doesn't stop the series from finding a way to turn it around into a fantastic comedy. The boys are all friends and go through their lives like any teenager should, with each other. Sometime in life, we’ve all experienced the same situations and experiences these boys make.

    The show presents what life is like being a teenaged boy in high school. The jokes and the persona each of these boys have bringing something more to the table with each episode.

    7. Baka no Test to Shoukarijuu (Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts)

    Episodes: 13

    Aired: Jan 7, 2010 - Apr 1, 2010

    Baka no Test to Shoukarijuu is one of the funniest series I've seen, and it's filled with a lot of cliche characters in a stereotypical setting, who express their idiotic romances in the most hilarious way.

    The series centers around the “baka” character of the title, Akihisa Yoshii. At Akihisa's academy, they divide the students into classes based on their test scores. You have the prodigies in A class, who have reclining seats with air conditioning?! Akihisa is in F class, the lowest class in the school with the lowest quality of supplies and equipment.

    Not only that, the school has conducted experiments to summon weird creatures, with Akihisa rallying F class to take over the perks of the higher classes by using the summoned creatures in an all out battle.

    8.. Ouran High School Host Club

    Episodes: 26

    Aired: Apr 5, 2006 - Sep 27, 2006

    Ouran High School Host Club is a very loveable series and has that comedic romantic essence to it, which personally, has me laughing so much about the situations and character traits in the anime.

    The series follows Fujioka Haruhi, who wins a scholarship to attend Ouran Academy, one of the most prestigious and most expensive academies ever. All Fujioka has to do is keep her grades up in order to stay, but that all changes when she accidentally breaks a vase worth 8 million yen (about $66,000 US).

    Fujioka is forced to work it off in a host club for girls by becoming a male host.

    9. Hataraka Maou-sama! (The Devil is a Part-Timer!)

    Episodes: 13

    Aired: Apr 4, 2013 - Jun 27, 2013

    Hataraka Maou-sama! is definitely a treat to watch and will surprise anyone who hasn't seen it before. Packed with outstanding comedy and a little action, Hataraka Maou-sama! was probably one of the funniest series I've seen in a while, except for Gintama which is #1!

    The series is about the Devil King Sadao who is just one step away from conquering the world. Until he was beaten by the hero Emilia and forced to move to another world that is modern day Tokyo. The only skills the Devil King possesses is to conquer the world, which is now a problem for him as he lives his life like a regular person in Tokyo.

    Working to survive by paying for his living expenses, conquering the world now seems harder than ever, which comedy ensues.

    10. Gintama

    EPisodes: 201

    Aired: Apr 4, 2006 - Mar 25, 2010

    Now, Gintama has to be one of the most hilarious and comedic series, with some great action scenes as well, that I have seen in a long time. The characters in Gintama are all unique in their own way, and the series is filled with unexpected situations that will surely make you laugh.

    The series is about life in feudal Japan taking a sudden turn in an unimaginable way, aliens have landed and taken over everything. Health care may be great, but there is a ban on swords due to a war with samurai, leaving them in defeat and difficult to survive with no future career path.

    Gintoki is a prime example of this outcome, as he looks for work doing anything in order to survive while living in a brave new world with monsters, Yakuza, and E.T. entrepreneurs. I highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a great comedy anime!
