Yes, it impressed me when I was a child tho xD. These days I can't laugh about it anymore or take it seriously. But that doesn't mean I think they are bad or good either. I'm a bit neutral on this topic. |

The way they handled one of the side characters darker conflicts in the final arc in Digimon Tamers was pretty impressive for a low budget toy advertising kids show. The show as a whole though is not amazing, but that one aspect of the show is impressive and not something I would expect in a childs toy advertising cartoon. The most impressive modern anime I can think of for kids is probably Dennou Coil. |

Cardcaptor Sakura is basically one of my favourite anime ever. Also certain seasons of Precure (Which may or may not be known as 'the lost episodes of Glitter Force' in a few years time). |

Nintama Rantarou is easily one of my all-time favorites. |

Agreed. I still watch Doraemon and enjoy it ^^ |

2weeaboo4u said: As for Dennou Coil, what was its timeslot? NHK-E aired Coil twice. Both runs were carried on Saturday evenings around 6:30 pm. The site mahou.org was a great resource that reported the time slots for every anime over quite a number of years. Unfortunately it's no longer available. There is also an archive of ratings data at http://www.geocities.jp/animesityouritu/. Push the pages through Google Translate. Sadly these data are also not maintained, but they are still available. |

That's really useful. I've been looking for some historical information on timeslots because they say a lot about who a show was meant for. Too bad that site doesn't go back further than 2000. |

Digimon Adventure. I watched it just few years ago. The last episode almost put me to tears. Pokemon Latios and Latias movie. Will rewatch to refresh my memory. I last watched it very long time ago but I was impressed back then. |

Yugioh 5ds, a bit underrated. That Fortune Cup arc hurt it slightly and then the last 2 arcs were just meh. It went from social and economic disparity and pretty good character backstories to just another yugioh. Still, pretty enjoyable. |

For instance, I don't think shows carried exclusively on AT-X appear in those reports. None of the major databases at MAL, ANN, or AniDB have timeslot information either. |

I've tried watching kids anime. It's bad. It's just not interesting. I only enjoy the most refined anime, such as Highschool DxD, Maken-ki, and KissxSis. |

IntroverTurtle said: Kruszer said: Did you use MAL to check for the age ratings? Because those are decided by MAL 's mods and is not an actual representation of whether they are considered a children's anime in Japan. Even the American releases's rating wouldn't be good enough.True, I forgot to check the ratings for all the Ghibli stuff (That and Nausicaa are PG-13). Fixed. Yeah I ordered my list by Age-rating and picked the highest rated "G" titles. Too much of a pain in the ass to get any more specific than that. Plus my list isn't full of that many titles that are "appropriate" for kids (even less that I liked) so they were pretty easy to pick out. I don't have any kids and I don't generally enjoy children's works so I don't usually watch them. |

I watched 3 episodes of Dennou Coil and it looks great. How can a G-rated anime have so much imagination and sense of wonder? You'd think that without age restriction, we will have more creativity. |

TheBrainintheJar said: It is because most of the people that worked on the shows are veterans in the industry that have worked on some of the best anime to come out in twenty years. The lead writer of Tamers also did Serial Experiments Lain, Texhnolyze, Ghost Hound, etc. A lot of his Sci-fi/cyberpunk shows like tamers has a lot of world building behind its concepts. The original creator of Dennou coil worked on Evangelion, FLCL, Ghost in the Shell, etc. If you are looking for the best anime in general it probably was done by big time veterans of the industry although it doesn't mean everything they make is going to be gold. It is hard to believe but the person responsible for creating Legend of Galactic Heroes also got the horrible adaptation that is Arslan Senki.I'm asking how can for-adults have so much less creativity than kids' show, like this one and Tamers. |

I noticed that. It's interesting when makers of mature-and-deep stuff like Texhnolyze/NGE make a kids anime. They're forced to take these ideas and make them understandable to kids. If you also add the feat of not dumbing down the material, then it's a huge challenge. We are at our most creative when we're challenged, though. |

Most of kid animes I watched are supported by the classical nostalgia goggle. However, pokemon series do impress me. I mean, it supposed to end on 1999, with the Chosen One movie as the endgame. 15 odd years later, it still aired. Admittedly, Doraemon and Nintama Rantarou eclipse Pokemon, but I never thought a game-based anime can survived this long. Even Yugioh changed the gameplay and characters so often. But, not with Pokemon. Ash still the pimpin' master, changing girl every continent he went. |

Yes, it's called Idaten Jump and for a kid's anime, it's well written. It is also more mature than some shounen manga adaptations, like Suzuka which is melodramatic and cheesy as hell. Most cartoons/animation were made for younger audiences, anyway. Btw, Cardcaptor Sakura is aimed at teenage girls and not something that a pre-schooler or a third grader would normally watch. |

Benienma said: Of course there's been some amazing kids anime out there!I've seen a few different Anime series aimed for children, and some have managed to remain very enjoyable despite containing simple or less mature subject matter. I'm curious if anyone has ever been impressed by a children's anime to the same level and with similar feelings as anime focused for older audiences. I genuinely think a couple of the Pokémon movies are really good and Ojamajo Doremi totally deserves more love. |

I've only seen a few episodes of Digimon Tamers (I will watch more when the stars align and I feel the mood strike me) but what I saw was really, really good. definitely a kids show, but the sense of lived in place, the character conflicts set up, the background worldbuilding, and the galaxy brain idea of having it set in a world where Digimon are fictional and the multimedia franchise exists, that's all pretty cool. in terms of what I've completed, gotta give it up for Little Witch Academia. just a really solid series start to finish, kinda like if Harry Potter was written by people with good moral character instead and with all girls (not getting into it but the Potter series is full of bad moral lessons and the author is straight up an awful person IRL). also it's Trigger's most consistently written series, lmao. tbh it kinda has the same vibe as some contemporary Western cartoons, and was heavily inspired by Western fiction. also it's pretty subtextually gay, lol. there's no way the tension between Akko and Diane that develops into a friendship wasn't purposefully yuri-coded. it's not, you know, quite Flip Flappers level, but it's there. and it's barely subtext with Chariot and Croix, hehehe. |

OMG, YES! I was impressed as a kid, and I'm still impressed now by some of the stories those kids anime offered. Romeo no Aoi Sora for example is one that I cannot forget. It really does "power of friendship" better than most shounen. I loved the takeaway of the anime and how easily attached you get to the characters. The Secret Garden is another one that makes me more impressed the more I think about the different aspects of the story. Really some of these shows convey the most meaningful messages ever, and they can be very sad, but they manage to still put a smile on your face. |

The 'obvious' kids anime I have never seen or care to but I assume are good. Sure I've seen the first Digimon movie but I didn't realise it was anime at the time and not like I've seen the rest of that IP, Pokemon, Cardcaptors or otherwise usual kids shows. I haven't seen many 'kids' age range anime other than mostly highschool stuff, less so Middle School or lower. I guess other than maybe Summer Wars which I just randomly watched and was a fine film. The one I always think of and was impressed with when I saw it was Hitori Bochi. While I'd seen Cute Girls Doing Cute Things shows/mostly female cast before (even though the guys in the class are only in the manga's final chapters and are just for a few panels so are basically non-existent so it's mostly a CGDCT show) I enjoyed what it did do even for it's basic story, middle school gags that I felt were enjoyable enough and fairly varied characters. |
