Hmmmm, I think both of those might include a bit too much magic to make a first impression and I do consider it a few levels above the average disney magic. At either rate, we could sum up some of the reviews for 13+ that has gotten some very nice reviews.
Giant Robo The Animation: The Night The Earth Stood Still - Although some of the bad religion details should be considered in this.
The gundam series should be mentioned. Although that as well might not make the best first impression.
One piece might be goofy enough for someone to not consider it bad at all, but the violence level for the age group is a tad high from time to time.
Samurai 7 got some nice rateings. A tad violent once again.
I think steamboy might be your best shot overall as a starter. Seeing that Howl's moveing castle and spirited away might be considered too magic-like for some parents taste. Although I have not seen most of the mentioned, I think the review's might hint towards this. Although I know it sometimes have abit excessive explinations on how science will solve so many of humanities problems, so be sure to evaluate that before you present it.
