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.
Angelic Layer, Azumanga Daioh, Fruits Basket, anything Studio Ghibli, Princess Tutu, maybe Spy x Family.
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
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.
K-On!, Laid back camp, Sailor Moon, ghibli movies as many have already stated, all good to try
Bocchi the rock
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.
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!
You know, I was half expecting people to troll and suggest something like “Made in Abyss”.
With the exception of Grave of the Fireflies, anything Studio Ghibli. Also, “Welcome to the Space Show” is a fun “Summer Movie”.
I think I would recommend Yume-iro Pâtissière
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, …).
Ancient magus bride was a cute fairy tale type anime
While I absolutely love the show, I don’t think it’s a good fit. OP said nothing too dark and the show literally starts with the protagonists willingly selling herself to slavery. It does get more lighthearted from there, but then it gets dark again when the antagonist is introduced.
