Is this ok for a kid that age? I don't know anything about it. Which ones are appropriate? Which ones to avoid? We have access to Toonami on Cartoon Network, are any of those any good?

Umm, probably not toonami, it has ones with blood and swearing. Dragon ball would probably be okay, and some other ones.

A lot of shonen would be okay.

What are you against your kid seeing/hearing? A lot of children's anime have light swear words like bastard and damn. Any fighting one will probably show blood, and they are way more relaxed about Pervy stuff for kids, like making fun of characters who are perverts, and like to look up girls skirts.

She hears (and occasionally uses) profanity, I don't encourage it, but kids hear and say all kinds of things at school, so...

She mature enough to handle violence, if it's not over the top.

I want to avoid the pervy stuff. She's 8.

Pokemon or digimon.

You may also want to see if she likes Sailor moon or something in the Precure franchise.

I would go with these. Pretty much even kids shows like dragon ball have some Pervy stuff in them. Usually some old man who likes girls panties, like master roshi.

She already watches Pokmon. Has about a dozen dvds. We're watching DragonBall Super right now. I have no idea what the hell is going on, but she seems to like it.

To set a bar, I do allow her to watch Rick and Morty. She gets most of the jokes and storylines. She sings that "Moon Man" song from the episode with the "Fart". Rick and Morty is probably the limit of what I will allow as far as violence/profanity.

You can get rid of that with shows with only girls in them like precure and Gochuumom

Oh yeah, probably the best thing to do would be to watch the studio ghibli movies with her.

My neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Ponyo, maybe Spirited Away.

Those are all great even for people who don't usually like anime.

Lmao, if she can watch Rick and Morty she could watch pretty much any anime that isn't hentai or just filled with lots of death.

To all saying "Don't", when you have children, you will learn that some things need to be allowed to run their course. I expect this to be a phase that burns itself out, like FNAF, Minecraft, dinosaurs, My Little Pony, and all the rest.

The thing is though, anime has endless amounts of any genre to watch. It isn't just one thing. And also, watching anime isn't some terrible thing that ruins you, most people who watch it are mostly normal people who just like some anime.

Because I don't know anything about anime, and lots of people here seem to. As sad as this is, CE is the closest thing I have to friends or a social life.

Studio Ghibli anime are generally considered the most wholesome and family friendly. Though things like Grave of the Fireflies (a World War II movie) might be something you want to avoid.

Any reason then why you want her to watch anime, or did sheshow an interest in it?

If she showed interest its probably because kids at her school watch that shit and she doesn't want to be left out, so whatever you want to show her wont be good enough because she probably wants to watch what they watch.

She asked out of the blue about 2 hours ago. She didn't say "anime", she said "Toonami". I'm assuming that she saw a commercial.

Oh okay. Well just watch toonami with her then, that works. They won't have anything worse than Rick and Morty on there. It's on late though so you'll have to record it or watch on demand.

Yeah OPM is great.

Violence is a bit over the top sometimes though.

Some of what happens to Genos might be a little much in particular.

Dude has like 80% of his body melted by acid. At one point

He gets better though

For real. Honestly bigger issue might be having her stay up late, even on the saturday nights that the full lineup airs. Here's the current Toonami lineup btw

10:30 Dragon Ball Z Super
11:00 My Hero Academia
11:30 FLCL: Progressive
12:00 Pop Team Epic
12:30 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
1:00 Hunter x Hunter
1:30 Black Clover
2:00 Naruto
2:30 Space Dandy
3:00 Cowboy Bebop
3:30 Lupin the III Part 4

of those, Jojo and the arc that Hunter x Hunter is currently on might cross some lines since they can get pretty horrific

Dragonball
Pokemon
Digimon
Precure
Sailor Moon

Oh yeah, definitely any ghibli movies.

All solid choices right here. I've noticed that some of the most common "gateways" for early anime fans are either shonen anime (like Naruto or My Hero Academia), magical girl anime (like Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura) or Studio Ghibli movies. Keep in mind that some of the shows in those genres can get pretty violent (like Hunter x Hunter or Madoka Magica) or fanservice-y (like Fairy Tail or Kill La Kill) so be sure to check out the shows yourself before you show them to a young potential fan.

As for Toonami specifically, some of what's on there is too violent for a young viewer, since it's part of the Adult Swim portion of Cartoon Network. Dragon Ball Super, Black Clover, and My Hero Academia (I haven't seen the later episodes, so someone can correct me if I'm wrong) should be mostly okay though.
