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!

    Angelic Layer, Azumanga Daioh, Fruits Basket, anything Studio Ghibli, Princess Tutu, maybe Spy x Family.

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

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

      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!

    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, …).

    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.

    With the exception of Grave of the Fireflies, anything Studio Ghibli. Also, “Welcome to the Space Show” is a fun “Summer Movie”.

      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.
