need some anime recs to watch with my mom

So, me and my mom have been trying to watch some anime together. We watched haikyuu first, a rewatch for me, but she absolutely adored and loved it; she's been asking when the next movie is gonna come out, etc. Since there's a long wait for it, we've been searching for more.

I tried Bungou Stray Dogs, but she seemed pretty disinterested. When I asked about Haikyuu, she said she felt excited and filled with adrenaline when she watched it, and she liked how it had an everyday feel to it, alongside it delving into every character so deeply and well... are there any other anime I can try and watch with her?

I love flying witch and food for the soul as family friendly watches, but sounds like you're looking for something a bit more exciting. Have you tried spyxfamily? Lots of episodes to watch and a good mix of action and family life?

I also love apothecary diaries but there are innuendos galore

Angelic layer (2001) also called battle doll angelic layer. Is good its about a girl and her doll which fights in a special ring.

If she loved Haikyuu, she will like Uma Musume Cinderella Gray is a great shounen sport anime

Apothecary Diaries (just because moms everywhere seem to love this one), Yuri on Ice (great sports competition anime with a lot of heart)

Everyday sports themed
Rising impact
Medalist
Ahiru no sora
Cross game
Slam dunk
Blue box

Everyday music theme

Those all have very good character development

My mom loves Yona of the Dawn

Besides what others have already commented,

Frieren

Natsume's Book of Friends

Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun

Oh! And I almost forgot:

Days

This is a soccer anime that feels very much like Haikyuu to me, with lots of character development and feels. Plus it has a completed manga.

do you love your mom and her two-hit multi target attacks
