Yeah, it's definitely hard. A couple I can think of:

  • Tri-Gun
  • Delicious in Dungeon
  • Dr. Stone
  • Cowboy Bebop
  • Fullmetal Alchemist (I think is mostly safe)
  • DBZ (Mostly safe, I think Dragonball has some questionable stuff)
  • Komi can't communicate (relationships seem mostly okay)
  • One punchman
  • Mon Pyscho
  • Steins Gate
  • Kinos Journey

The real issue is finding an anime that doesn't oversexualize anyone and still has lead female characters. If you're looking for early teen I think the US actually makes better shows:

  • Gravity Falls
  • Amphibia
  • Star vs Forces of evil
  • Infinity Train
  • Young Justice

There's more I could recommend, but for a teenager daughter those all probably have better plot, character development, and female leads than most of what I can think of for anime (although being a guy there are probably a number of anime I'm just not aware of).

Komi-san is a great show whenever one particular character is not onscreen, but the parts where that character is onscreen mean I don't think it can go on this list.

Oh no, what did I block from my memory?

Yamai Ren. The character whose entire gimmick is that her horrible behavior is played off with "it's funny because she's a lesbian."
