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!

Non Non Biyori, Mitsuboshi Colors, and K-on are pretty light-hearted, slice of life, comedies that would all be good

Does she have any specific interests? I guess if nothing in general, she might enjoy something like Spirited Away or Spy x Family?

It has some fight but maybe she'll like CardCaptor Sakura

Many of the Ghibli movies should be perfectly fine (My Neighbor Totoro, Whisper of the Heart, Kiki's Delivery Service, Ponyo, The Secret World of Arrietty, ...).

This was going to be my suggestion, Ghibli has made some really phenomenal shows.

Maybe something chill and comfy like Yuru Camp ?

I dunno man Iyashikei might bore kids to sleep.

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

Azumanga Daioh is where it's at!

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?

[–] althea_vestrid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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!

I don't want to get hurt so I'll max out my defense AKA Bofuri

Ancient magus bride was a cute fairy tale type anime

[–] d3ceived@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

K-On!, Laid back camp, Sailor Moon, ghibli movies as many have already stated, all good to try
