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.
Spy X Family might be good. A lighthearted tone, a solid family dynamic, spy action and a “six” year old girl trying to make friends at school. Do be warned about some gory scenes (it doesn’t focus on the details, at least) and some darker themes (it’s a spy story, so there’s war stuff going on). But it has a solid dub and good comedy.
I would recommend Heaven’s Design Team (a workplace comedy about adding animals to the garden of eden, complete with fun animal facts), but I don’t think it has an English dub.
spy family has some moments and expresssions certainly not suited for a 6 year old, its about two nation on the brink of war, there are terrorists who say they want to kill people, etc , its rating on netflix is 16+, certainly not recommended for a 6 year old.
I already mentioned the war themes, and I think actual violence is more notable than threats of violence. And we get both in episode one.
Despite that, I do think kids would enjoy it, and there’s nothing to warrant a 16+ rating over a PG rating. I think OP should watch the first ep, then decide whether to watch the rest with the kiddo.
