Anime series for kids - any recommendations?


Recommended Posts

I prefer to have my two daughters (ages 8 and 11) watch anime over cartoons or Disney shows. So far they've liked Moribito and Last Exile. They've also enjoyed all the Miyazaki movies. I'm going to try Twelve Kingdoms next. Can anyone recommend other shows (They have to be age appropriate without being too violent, disturbing or silly.)

my daughter's favorites and easy to find dubs: (she is 5, we tend to watch fairly calm anime with no bloody violence. most are slice of life shows that are appropriate for kids from about 4 up)

magical nyan nyan taruto

bottle fairy

a little snow fairy sugar

cardcaptor sakura

pokemon

princess tutu

kaleido star

fruits basket (one of my all time favorite series, and a super sweet story)

hare+guu

lucky star

magical girl lyrical nanoha

somedays dreamers

mamotte! lollipop (save me! lollipop)

omishi magical theater risky safety

i would totally let my 8-11 year old watch inuyasha. it is a good series and violent but not bloody. my oldest started watching it at about 7. they are also probably old enough to watch the slayers.

one that would be great if your girls are good enough readers to do subtitles easily is kemono no souja erin. it does have some violence but it is stylized violence and it there is nothing graphic. it is a gorgeous anime, and even though it is marketed for kids it has a story that can easily suck in grown ups and older kids. my 15 year old loved it. it is done by the same people who made moribito.

mushishi is a very neat series, your girls may like it.

good girl anime that is not available in dub - at least that i know of:

shugo chara

kirarin revolution

fairy musketeer akazukin

gakuen alice

kobato

chi's new address (aka chi's sweet home)

yumeiro patissiere

tegami bachi (letter bee)

good series that are more boyish but a girl can get into too:

ruroni kenshin

yuyu hakeshu

zoids, zero and chaotic century were my oldest's favorite.

beyblade

MAR (marchen awakens romance)

hikaru no go

rave master

shaman king

digimon digital monsters
