[Rec] Seeking recommendations for kid friendly anime (sh.itjust.works)

I used to watch anime but haven't watched anything new in a while now. Have a 6 year old kid and thought it would be a good excuse to start watching some together with her. We just completed little witch academy and we have seen the ghibli movies. I'm seeking more series and movies that would be appropriate for kids and also not to boring for an adult to watch.

Other than what's curated already? 4×🔗

appropriate for kids and also not to boring for an adult to watch.

Can't rec. Bluey, Shrek, Gravity Falls, Amphibia, Steven’s Universe, Crayon Shin-chan, Speed Racer (2008), & The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) enough.

The very first entry on that link is A Silent Voice. Absolutely phenomenal film, my all-time favorite in fact, but extremely not one I would show to a 6-year old child.

spoilers for anyone who doesn't remember

The film begins with Shoya's suicide attempt, and much later Shouko tries to kill herself too. Not appropriate for age 6.

So how does #50, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, compare to Gushing Over Magical Girls?

I would rather not be asking this question, or admitting I finished "Gushing", no matter how much of each episode I skipped(not enough to understand Amazon Prime's failure to blur/cut most of it), but here we are.

Oh, and for anyone wondering, The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant is hardly any better, although the story is ... Oh wait, its just another Damsel In Distress plot, plus SA and water-color tea parties/picnics. Even with Druj ... and the rest, The Great Jahy is actually more wholesome - the female characters help themselves, or eventually learn to without the help of a big strong man, at least.

I didn't make those screwed up entries. But I thank you for listing objections to the shows with unsafe content.

Congratulations, some sheltered-moron-on-a-downvote-binge informed me I neglected to up-vote your list comment. Now remedied. You're a hero next to some here.

Wait, are you seeking to block people🧵?
