| My sister wants to get into anime and I cannot think of many that are appropriate for her. What are some animes appropriate for little girls up to 10 and younger? Edit: So far my sister has finished Bananya, Donyatsu, Ponyo, and Somali and the Forest Spirit. She is currently watching Himouto! Umaru-chan, Layton Mystery Tanteisha: Katri no Nazotoki File, Little Witch Academia, Micchiri Neko, Shirokuma Cafe, and Yuru Camp△. She has put most of your recommendations on her plan to watch so thank you all!!! |

| For action My Hero Academia or Noragami would be a decent start for that age I guess (that's of course if you want your sister to see a bit of blood - Noragami has slightly more than MHA.) BOFURI is also a good action anime without any gore that I would recommend. Though I would also recommend much more light hearted shows like Yuru Camp, Non Non Biyori, and Himouto! Umaru-chan. Oh, and I know that Sailor Moon would also be great for a girl that age. Pokemon as well. |
| Ichigo Mashimaro Sanzoku no Musume Ronja A Little Princess Sara Bannertail: The Story of Gray Squirrel |
| Pokemon Haikyuu Sailor Moon Ponyo Flying Witch Amaama to Inazuma Bakugan Battle Brawlers Little Witch Academia |
| My mom grew up watching these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Masterpiece_Theater |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| Amanchu!, Hanamaru Kindergarten, any Studio Ghibli movie, Sgt. Frog, Chi's Sweet Home, Wakako-zake! Very easy to follow plots and the art styles are on the more simple side! |
"It wasn't your fault. You do not have to carry that burden." Violet Evergarden  |
| Maybe something like Tokyo Mew Mew, Shugo Chara or Cardcaptor Sakura if she's into magical girls. |
| Definitely all of the Ghibli films. Many people watch those as a kid. Also Wolf Children is a really good movie for children as well. As for non-movies, I would recommend Little Witch Academia, Polar Bear Cafe, Dinosaur King, and D.I.C.E. Then you have the generic 'saturday morning cartoon' shows like Pokemon, Kirby, Yu-gi-oh, Digimon, etc. You can also show her watch a whole bunch of magical girl shows if she likes those. After that your best bet is to do an advanced search on MAL and look for anything rated G or PG. You can filter by type if you want a Movie or TV series specifically. |
| Romeo no Aoi sora, it's appropriate for all ages and has some great themes and morals behind it. |
  "elles sont bien noires les pensées des nuits blanches"  |
| Slice of life anime where all the characters are pretty much girls. Also ghibli movies. |
 Wanna play 8-ball? |
| i would say kyouka but she might be too young to understand it. i mean i was smart at 7 but other might not. fairy tail, my love story, saiki k, |
| "Nobody is stronger than me, even when I go easy on them. Remember that" - Ayanokoji Kiyotaka |
| Kuromajo-san ga Tooru, Kaitou Joker, Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken (2020), Gundam Build Fighters and maybe Mahoujin Guruguru (2017). Yeah, those are mostly for boys (except Kuromajo-san ga Tooru) but I guess girls wouldn't mind. Somebody mentioned World Masterpiece Theater, I would recommend The Swiss Family Robinson: Flone of the Mysterious Island from it. |
Pupa obviously. Maybe if you're lucky it'll rub off on her. Also Totoro is a pretty obligatory answer. She might find Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke too scary. Have you tried showing her Hamtaro yet? :o |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Show her this two lists, comment them a bit and then let her pick one. PG-rated anime sorted by score (fits her age group best) G-rated anime sorted by score You can limit the genres in the advanced MAL search along with the MPAA rating (above links are "all genres"). In my experience picking an anime is half the fun. So if you want to get her into anime, show her how to find ones she likes first ... From what I've watched from those lists (i.e. top rated G and PG TV shows, with strong girls as MC): https://myanimelist.net/anime/1212/Oban_Star-Racers https://myanimelist.net/anime/232/Cardcaptor_Sakura https://myanimelist.net/anime/33089/Kemono_Friends https://myanimelist.net/anime/2164/Dennou_Coil And of course the many good movies in the listing. |

AwokenStroken said: I would recommend Afro Samurai and Hunter x Hunter for her, very lighthearted and incredibly kid friendly. (just kidding please dont do that) lmaooo thats funny. i wont do that dont worry Destinova said: Will you be needing subs or dubs? Not sure if a 7 year old can read fast enough to enjoy a series that's only available subbed. And is English your native language? Was gonna mention this one as well :) To add to the list: https://myanimelist.net/anime/7152/Anyamal_Tantei_Kiruminzoo english is our native language. she prefers dub but can watch sub if it does not go too fast (like saiki k) Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| thats a weird question. how are we supposed to know just from her age? you have to tell us her tastes, what she likes etc.. and not just the group she belongs to |
These are some shows me and my sister used to watch when we were younger:
Just saying that these shows are pretty fun to watch no matter what age you are, most of them are old gold so give em a shot urself too ;) Hope this list can help someone! |

Zehennagel said: I mean she just started watching anime so she doesnt really have a taste yet. all sh has watch is bananya and donyatsu but said she wants to get into anime more so thats why i said that. I think she will try anything as long as it is entertaining. she prefers dub and loves comedythats a weird question. how are we supposed to know just from her age? you have to tell us her tastes, what she likes etc.. and not just the group she belongs to |
|
| ghibli movies, cardcaptor sakura, doremi, little witch academia... |
| Tamagotchi and Jewel Pets. If she is a tomboy, she might like Pokemon Sun & Moon. Idk, anything cute might be good for her. Hamtaro might also be good too. |

|
| If you want her to grow up like all of us, just pump some Shaman King into her veins and she’ll grow up the same way all of us did (I presume) |

| I haven't watched it yet, but I guess Cardcaptor Sakura may be the best choice. It was my sister's first anime, and from what she said, it's light-hearted, well written and quite wholesome as well. Pretty fitting for a little girl too. |
Soninha said: ghibli movies, cardcaptor sakura, doremi, little witch academia... Would be my choice too! However I guess I would have been spooked to death by Chihiro at that age. I remember i loved Digimon and Doremi when I was 8. They just remade Digimon Adventure. That’s definitely safe to watch. Also Doraemon! |
I needed some onii-chan cannibalism when I was seven. |
| Little Witch Academia. This one is full of positivity and wholesome humour. Pokemon. This one is going to cost you money in the long run.. I'd say avoid slice of life without some kind of plot. Your 7 year old wants to follow stories. Her mind needs it. |
| K on sounds like a good fit for your sister |

Probably not for a 7 yr old tho. |

its okay not much of an inconvenience i probably won't recommend it to my sister but ill put it on my personal list to watch |
|
| things made by ghibli (especially totoro) CGDCT shows mirai (2018) |
 |
| Chi's Sweet Home My Roomate is a Cat Sora yori mo Tooi Basho ("A Place Further than the Universe") GeGeGe no Kitarou (2018) Dennou Coil Major 2nd (especially season two when the team is mostly girls) Bananya Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! Flying Witch Gin no Saji Hataraku Saibou ("Cells at Work!") Little Witch Academia Mahou Shoujotai Arusu ("Tweeny Witches") Seirei no Moribito Uchuu Kyoudai ("Space Brothers") Some of these are on the edge of appropriateness for a seven-year-old in terms of story, but none of them contains sexual themes, bad language, or other possible disqualifiers. |
