I agree - you can't go wrong with Ghibli (though unless you want to be completely depressed don't choose Graveyard of the Fireflies it is brilliant but one of the most depressing movies I've ever seen live action or animated!) Spirited Away is great, Ponyo or Howls Moving Castle (lol am just reading off some of whats on my shelf...I have a lot....) As for getting her sucked into a series it really depends what her interests are. As Iki mentioned - Vampire Knight will probably appeal to the twilight crowd (no i'm not one!) but i don't mind the series though i think the English dubbing is pretty poor compared to the original voices but i'm kinda fussy when it comes to dubbs for something that might be a bit more girl/shojo you could try something like Skip Beat (not dubbed and it's only one season as far as i know and just ends in the middle of a story arc). Wallflower (also called Perfect Girl Evolution depending where you live) and Ouran High School Host Club are pretty funny or there's Romeo + Juliet( but i haven't seen that one...yet) My husband isn't really into Anime either but he has watched Darker than Black, All the Full Metal Panic! (Fumoffu is just great when you want a laugh) and most of Durara If she like Gothic-y stuff maybe Black Butler (currently my fave!) or Pandora Hearts (not dubbed as far as I know) or Trinity Blood... Well there's a few more suggestions for you - the problem is there is just too much to choose from
