Looking for Anime that a mom would like

[Phantomlink959]

So, my mom and I volunteer at a lot of conventions. We've got an anime convention coming up at the end of October but she hasn't really watched much in the way of anime.

We've been watching My Hero Academia but she's not really into it, so I'm looking for more comedy and drama oriented series (which is what she enjoys watching for normal TV shows.)

Ideally shows that are available on Netflix or Hulu so we can use our Tivo. The more wholesome the show the better; trying to void anything super violent or with too much fan service until she's a bit more acclimated to general Anime weirdness.

Anything Studio Ghibli and Studio Ponoc will be the most wholesome of all the wholesomeness of anime.

Personally I found One Punch Man hilarious but it's also pretty action filled.

First thing that came to my mind, oddly enough.

My mom enjoyed Tales of the Abyss which I found pretty funny.

I think a better bet would be an animated movie, since they're shorter and if she doesn't like it, she'd still have watched it completely (which avoids the whole ''no this anime only gets good after 200 episodes'' debacle).

Kotonoha no Niwa (get past the weird, by Western standards, storyline and focus on the art and storytelling and you'll be fine) is a good one. "Your Name" is OK and throws a kinda weird plot twist at you which could be considered 'dramatic' question mark?

Well I am a mother and one of my all time favorite series is Witch Hunter Robin. Rather tame compared to a lot of animes I have enjoyed over the years. Not really a main stream one but hey it might be on those services. Sadly it was cut short but I would adore if it came back. (It won't but I love it none the less.)

GIT OUT OF MAI SWAHMP!

Also
1: Shrek isn't an anime
2: We've watched that movie way too many times anyways.

Good suggestions all around people (except you Dinh. You should be ashamed of yourself.), I'll give them a browse and see if I can find them for streaming anywhere legit.
