Hi all, I’d like to find some anime for my 9 year old daughter. So far, she’s watched: Little Witch Academia & Kaleido Star.
She doesn’t really like anything too dark or violent. Thanks!
Edit:
Thanks for all the responses, some great suggestions!
Maybe something chill and comfy like Yuru Camp ?
I dunno man Iyashikei might bore kids to sleep.
Does she have any specific interests? I guess if nothing in general, she might enjoy something like Spirited Away or Spy x Family?
I’d suggest “How to Keep a Mummy” from a few years back. Super cute and wholesome.
You know, I was half expecting people to troll and suggest something like “Made in Abyss”.
I just finished watching this, NO WAY DO YOU SHOW THIS TO A YOUNG KID.
then i suggest elfenlied and euphoria if you want a troll here. Tthe second is weird porn, i only seen a warning but i still remember the name after years. So dont look it up when your are not into shit (right pronaunciation)
Yeah, that warning is a little late. -.-
(─.─||) sorry
I don’t want to get hurt so I’ll max out my defense AKA Bofuri
Majo no Tabitabi. A very enjoyable magical adventure. Episode 8 has a jump scare that she might not like, so skip that one or watch it yourself first and decide. The episode itself starts with a warning about this so you don’t need to remember which one it is.
Somali – another magical adventure, I don’t recall it containing any scenes that a child would be uncomfortable with.
Spy x Family
Cardcaptor Sakura
Bocchi the Rock
Nichijou
Spirited Away
Toradora
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken
Dragon Pilot
Komi Can’t Communicate
Violet Evergarden
Your Name
As much as I am a fan of Spy x Family and Violet Evergarden, they are more for more mature audiences as they have quite the adult themes. Violet Evergarden is set in a war world and although the story is not set in the war itself, the flashbacks (especially THAT scene during the attack on the fortress) are nonetheless too violent.
Spy x Family might seem like a wholesome family anime but it has underlying political and war themes. Bond’s arc as well as Yor’s assassination techniques in Ep 2 is something that I would not really recommend to a nine year-old kid. There’s car explosions and use of dogs for warfare
I’d veto Spy x Family and Violet Evergarden; the violence they have is quite brutal, and the themes I think are fairly adult.
Spy X Family has some pretty dark storylines, hell episode one is one those very cases. I think it could be good for older kids and teens, but stuff like Bond’s introductory arc is really heavy. I cannot imagine a kid reacting positively to the Handler’s speech about her experience with war.
i heard your name is emotional damage. Am i correct? Never watched it
Azumanga Daioh is where it’s at!
Non Non Biyori, Mitsuboshi Colors, and K-on are pretty light-hearted, slice of life, comedies that would all be good

Angelic Layer, Azumanga Daioh, Fruits Basket, anything Studio Ghibli, Princess Tutu, maybe Spy x Family.
It has some fight but maybe she’ll like CardCaptor Sakura
Ancient magus bride was a cute fairy tale type anime
With the exception of Grave of the Fireflies, anything Studio Ghibli. Also, “Welcome to the Space Show” is a fun “Summer Movie”.
Have you shown her any of the studio ghibli movies?
Right, yes, I forgot to mention, we watched My Neighbor Totoro & Kiki’s Delivery Service. I should probably try to show her some other ones. Good call!
