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.

Versus accusing me of trolling? I didn't even look to see if they gave any actual advice to OP; I was honestly somewhere between not caring and hoping to be wrong.

Oh wait, do you think I called them a SAHM, a Trump voter, white, a woman(OP's daugher/"her" is the only gender I've noted in this whole Post/Thread), or even a USian? Like, between you and me, who here is confused here, and about what?

Other than the "voluminous advice" thing and shows they flat-out stated they hadn't watched, I'm not seeing anything a reasonable person would remotely expect has a real chance of applying to @NineSwords@ani.social, or even be insulting to those they applied to, in my last few paragraphs.

Wasn't even going the "if the shoe fits" route: I just laid out what I think is one of the many, many problematic outcomes of the popular outlook re: raising children and death and mature topics in general. It takes way too many adults a lifetime to learn how to handle such things, if they ever do, when parents see their entire role as stearing them away from those topics until time robs them of the means to do so.
