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!

There are references to smoking and the drinking of sake. In one scene, a dragon trying to protect the main character is attacked and returns injured and bleeding from the mouth
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, …).
Does she have any specific interests? I guess if nothing in general, she might enjoy something like Spirited Away or Spy x Family?
Ancient magus bride was a cute fairy tale type anime
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
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’d veto Spy x Family and Violet Evergarden; the violence they have is quite brutal, and the themes I think are fairly adult.
i heard your name is emotional damage. Am i correct? Never watched it
You know, I was half expecting people to troll and suggest something like “Made in Abyss”.
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)
