When my young niece came
to me and asked me if I could recommend some anime for her to watch, I
realized that the majority of anime I have seen (over 400 titles) was
grossly inappropriate for young children. So I decided to compile a
list anime I felt was safe for her, and also pretty entertaining.
When
I say kid safe, I mean there is no overt sexual content, horrific
violence (shock value, might make exception for disaster type stuff),
foul language etc. I do NOT mean that these anime necessarily treat
your child like they are stupid or live in a bubble, some DO have
dramatic themes dealing with tragic events or things that any child in
the real world may face.
Parents have a wide variation
of opinions on what is acceptable for children to watch, so as always
exercise due diligence and review all these shows yourself and make up
your own mind regarding acceptability.
Japan has a
culture where Shinto and Buddhism is very prevalent, if you have a
problem with these religions represented, this list does not attempt to
filter them or any other religious criteria.
This list
is just a foundation, I may create a page with links to information
about each one, and maybe create reviews for each on in post format.
But for now, happy watching. If you have a suggestion or issue, feel
free to comment.
