What shows would you recommend for a 13 year old boy???

My godson is looking for new anime to watch. He's watched DBZ, he's watching Naruto and One Piece, he reads the Trigun manga. I've had him try Bleach and FMA, but he didn't care for those. I was wondering what might be good for him to try. He's turning 13 in a month to give you an idea of his age group.

Do you even have to ask what I'd recommend?

Yes I always have to ask what he or she would recommend.

LOL Ralphy! I probably didn't need to ask.

I forgot to add that he's already been through the Pokemon phase when he was younger.

Why didn't you need to ask?

Umm...You could try Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu Yu Hakusho, and possibly InuYasha?

EDIT: Maybe Slayers too? But there is some adult humor in there...

Those are good recommendations...I'd also add Rurouni Kenshin-TV series (not the OVAs

), Flame of Recca, and Hikaru no Go...

*edit spelling

I'm shocked that he didn't enjoy FMA...but in any case like Irmgaard mentioned you can't go wrong with the Rurouni Kenshin TV series.

Umm. Interesting comparison.

Dragonball in all its incarnations would probably be fine.

Does he only care for dubbed anime or is he willing to watch subbed? When My brother was younger I tried to show him subbed anime but be quickly became bored with reading the subtitles and it was hard for him to keep up since they sometimes move by quickly. At that time he was in his late teens.

Other than what has been mentioned, I'm clueless as to what to recommend. Sorry.

For a 13 year old boy I would consider a few like these.

Blue Seed

RahXephon

Stellvia

Evangelion

Serial Experiments Lain
