I would consider DBZ kiddie but thats me :/

i dont think kenshin was geared towards kids on cn cause they played it just before Adult Swim...

but you could narrow it down by saying "Toonami" block or "4Kids" licenced animes... or anything that shows up on FOX saturday morning cartoons (but is still anime)

although by that definition Cardcaptor Sakura would fall in there too... :/ but it has a strong enough thread imo to keep its own :P

Well, I knew someone would say that. But it's all a matter of Opinion on DBZ.


And Kenshin before Adult Swim?

:?: Huh? I don't remember that...the first time they showed it it was in the afternoon. Toonami used to be on weekday afternoons about 2-6 roughly. I think I remember what you're talking about. Still, they never finished it at that time though, they showed the first 2/3 (what I consider all of the anime) on that afternoon block way back. So yeah they were aiming it towards kids.

Yes they did it with YYH, but it was so butchered I wouldn't even call it "YYH".

Anything can be kiddie if edited enough. So are we talking, kids anime even uncut like Hamtaro or just edited for TV like YYH or Kenshin or even Yu-Gi-Oh?

The proposal is for rare Kiddie Anime that don't already have threads.

Kenshin, YYH, DBZ have threads with dozens of recs already. It doesn't matter if they're kiddie or not.

I just don't like lumping like that. Kenshin, DBZ, Outlaw Star and such were all on CN aimed at kids, would you consider them "kiddie anime"?
This would be more like 'dumbed down by 4Kids anime'.

Weather we get a Pokemon thread or a 4Kids thread, either would work for me. I think it's a good idea. Just trying to look through Pokemon AMVs, it's too hard to find good ones. I'd be interested to see Shaman King AMVs as well. This thread could even go as far as Medabots, Monster Rancher, and Beyblade AMVs (I know they are not 4Kids, but they fit the kiddie theme). So i think it would be worth a shot.

*sigh*
I still lke the Family friendly recommended amv ideal
It doesn't seem really hard to define
Basically what most people consider family freindy is
Not having nudity, suggestive themes or sexual content
Not having bloody violence
Not having lyricas with strong language
Basically videos that would be suitible for anyone to watch
It could help people out if they are looking for those types of videos
There are some contests and events that look for videos like that also...

Also, I don't think a Pokemon thread would do any better than the Digimon thread fared, so no.
Firstly - What do you mean the Digimon thread didn't fare well? It got more posts than some of the others that are there. As a rabid Digimon fan, I am strongly opposed to combining existing threads into a new one.

Secondly, I figure the wider the definition the better if you want more posts. I figure it's aimed at kids if the main characters *are* kids, and if it's airing on a network other than Cartoon Network. It can always get more narrowed later if need be.

I think even most of Miyazaki's works might qualify, if there isn't already a Miyzaki thread. Is there?

And, if there aren't enough truly *good* "kiddie" ams - mebbe this new thread could change that? Just a thought and a hope.

There's lots of animes that we'd never even heard of because the censors wouldn't let 'em through. Things that are uncut, may be appropriate for Japanese kids, but certain American folks would not let their own kids see.
Making an amv, is rather like being the director of a Broadway show, where you have a million dancers and each of them only knows one step.
