She's seen Azumanga Daioh and a few Miyazaki films. I think she still watches Naruto on CN.
I am not showing her Lucky Star or Air TV.

The rest is fair game I think, so long as its dubbed.

However, I found out that when they brought it over here, they unnecissarily shaved off a lot of the meat that made the anime. I'd like to give her the original, but I can't find a complete English-dubbed version. The only English-dubbed versions I have found were Cardcaptors, and every complete 70 episode version I've found was Sub only.
Any thoughts on this matter?


The only way to get the full series is to get the subbed. Nelvana only dubbed the butchered "Cardcaptors." Though CCS would be an excellent show when she gets old enough. And unless you are looking for the implied yuri/yaoi, it's perfect for youngins.

Since Air is out, I guess that includes Kanon as well.

Maybe Kaleido Star? Though the fool is a little perv at times so that is a toss up.

Aside from that, everything else I can think of would be inappropriate in your eyes.

I'm not showing her Air because I didn't like it, not because it wasn't appropriate. It felt like the whole thing was just skewn and miserable. I was enjoying it up until the part when Yukito turned into a crow, and then I was like :evil: It wasn't good for me.
Kanon is a definite possibility, since i actually own the entire series on DVD, but I am not sure what she'll think of my sappy romance stuff.

So, is Cardcaptors on its own a decent show? Or is it completely butchered because of the censoring? I want more than one opinion.

There is always Lucky Star. I think it would suit a younger audience.

Oh it's butchered. It starts on Episode 5 or 6. The one when Shouran shows up first. Then they go and make the show predominantly about Shouran.

But don't take my word for it..

On another note... i don't think anyone mentioned Angelic Layer.

I think that Full Moon would be perfect. It's dubbed. It's appropriate. It's shoujo. It's great. If it were dubbed... Shugo Chara would also work. Perhaps... Di Gi Charat?

The age rating said Older Children... http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclo ... php?id=298

To be honest i didn't think it was all that dramatic till the very end but i enjoyed it. It's got life lessons in it though i'm not sure if a kid would understand it overall.

She's about to enter adolescence, time for her to man-up (or girl-up or whatever they do)

Also, does she have the patience for shinkai type stuff?

How has Sailor Moon NOT been included on this list? The first and second seasons are quite watchable dubbed. After R though... S and SuperS are hard to get through because of the voice actress changes. But I watched Sailor Moon when it was airing in the US the first time around. Even now, though I prefer subbed from several standpoints, there is nothing overtly wrong about the first two seasons dubbed. I especially think they did a decent job with the Alan/Anne (Doom Tree) arc.

I still adore Sailor Moon, and it has had a much bigger impact on my life, admittedly, than any other anime series, and that includes my beloved KOR. It was just there at the right time to get me into anime full blown while I was in middle school.
