I watch anime. Most I watched are problematic somewhere. For example, Naruto, which is where a lot of people start, has a gag about "Kancho" among the first few episodes. One Piece, which I otherwise adore, tends to sideline its female characters and make them excessively voluptuous. (Having said that, the main female characters are arguably the strongest characters mentally in terms of what they've overcome.) Recently, I've been watching Detective Conan (which was dubbed as Case Closed, but I always watch subbed anime so I can pick up some Japanese) and I've been enjoying that. It's weekly (rather bloody) murder mysteries that require some ingenious deduction to solve. But all these are very long, as in hundreds of episodes long.

Maybe a better place to start would be with shorter anime. Cardcaptor Sakura, Seirei no Moribito, Rurouni Kenshin, and Kekkaishi all seem like they're probably okay for 13 year olds. They're also very different in style (respectively: magical shojo - aimed at girls, mythological, Meiji era shonen - lots of fighting, and supernatural set in modern-day Japan), so you may be able to find something to Bunny's tastes among them. The first is commonly recommended as safe for teenagers.
