If you're specifically looking for shows to watch with your daughter, I would highly recommend Little Witch Academia for that demographic.

Komi-san is a great show whenever one particular character is not onscreen, but the parts where that character is onscreen mean I don't think it can go on this list.

Unfortunately, the movie is a lot less ambiguous.

But also the movie doesn't exist lalalala it never happened lalalala I can't hear you

She's a 1000 year old adult. At no point is she ever portrayed as anything remotely childlike.

It honestly fucking sucks that just because this trope exists elsewhere, a show like Frieren can't tell a serious story about what it's like to outlive everyone around you without being mistaken for this trope.

I do think there are valuable conversations to be had about the concept of a creature that is considered ontologically evil and wholly irredeemable.

But I also think reducing that conversation to "Frieren bad" sucks.

If you've been keeping count, I'm curious to see your data.

Obviously it depends on what games you want to play.

The one point I will mention in the Switch's favor is that I feel like it's a much better handheld. It's a lot lighter and I like the feel of the JoyCons better (or I did until mine went bad, we'll see how durable S2 JoyCons are). Still, both are ultimately too bulky for me to take on the go, instead I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus on sale and that's become my portable while the Deck gathers dust and the Switch no longer leaves the dock.

Azumanga Daioh, still the GOAT.

Nintendo. They definitely do some frustrating things sometimes, but I don’t think they're anywhere near the worst in the industry right now. But the circlejerk at any mere mention on this platform has become beyond insufferable.

I've had someone tell me I'm killing gaming because I said I'm excited that Kirby Air Ride is finally getting a sequel after 22 years. Fuck off and let me enjoy things!

Frieren is very violent. Amazing show, but definitely not for kids.

Bocchi has exactly one fanservice gag I can recall, but it's a fairly tame one. Probably fine, the whole rest of the show has nothing else inappropriate I can think of. It is sub-only though, so I guess it really depends on whether she's fine with reading subtitles?

Delicious in Dungeon, some violence but nothing gory, compared to Frieren I don't think it's too much.

I haven't seen the other one that was mentioned so I can't speak for it.

Honestly I'd say it depends on your daughter and what you think she can handle. I'm not a parent, so it's hard for me to judge. Maybe screen a few episodes for yourself and decide what you think is appropriate?

Edit: Though just to add one more nomination for you, Little Witch Academia immediately comes to mind as a show I think would be absolutely perfect for that age.

Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is shit.

But there's so much out there, that remaining 10% is still a lot.

There's a lot of terrible anime, but there's also a lot of fantastic anime. There's a lot of anime.
