[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.

I thought about Nichijou, but I'm not certain a 6-year-old would be able to understand some of the jokes.

[–] AyuTsukasa@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 days ago

True but there are lots of shows I loved at that age where some of the jokes went over my head.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 days ago

Jokes in Disney movies go over children's heads, as do entire plots, settings, character motivations. Same for the Wiggles, Fraggle-Rock, and most others that have stood the test of time.

I'm struggling to name a show that a six-year-old could entirely wrap their mind around, or doesn't have problematic elements requiring explanation, and isn't Caillou/Coco-melon -level garbage. Even Veggie Tales invokes stories that are horrendous behind the scenes.
