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).
Oh yeah, but I guess I was giving it a pass cause it goes both ways. Both the women and men have ridiculous designs.
Also, even though they definitely feel sexual, the actual dialogue doesn’t focus on it too much (at least from what I can recall). It helps that the main character is really only interested in science.
Edit: It also has the issue that pretty much every major character is a guy.

By modern standards it’s really not great towards the women characters (except possibly ed).

Dr Stone also has some questionable aesthetics
