Anime for younglings

[shadowalker]

Okay, some of those I think are really fun. Some of them... I have not seen. Though I should probably mention that I have only seen one or two episodes of "Magical Do Re Mi" (and have no desire to see anymore), meanwhile I have not seen any Little Snow Fairy Sugar episodes (but do want to see some, just because it looks so Chibi)...

I wasn't sure what other shows to include, because a lot of the shows that got tagged as for younger kids when translated, where originally for preteens in Japan... So I wasn't sure how to count those...

I just threw in Magical Do Re Mi to see if anyone else had been exposed to it, and if so, what they thought. My brother said that it was, "like the people who make mediocre yet slightly weird kids shows on both sides of the pacific worked together to create it..."

Anyway, I could go on for a while discussing anime, particularly individual shows... but I will leave that for later posts.

So, this thread's purpose is to discuss anime shows for younger youngsters! What are your favorites? (Also, are there any series you think should have been on the poll that were not?)

It seems a little bit like having a conversation with oneself when one responds to one's own thread... But ah well. I feel like discussing this stuff, and I will discuss it with myself if I have too. (Though it is more interesting when other people respond too...)

I just watched Kikki's Delivery Service for the first time last December, think it was... And Jiji is great! Makes me want to watch an anime starring cats. It was an uplifting movie and fun to watch.

However, My Neighbor Totoro will always hold a special place in my heart... At the very least because I saw it when I was really, really, young... So young in fact, that for many years I couldn't remember a thing about it other than Dust Bunnies... If I tried to remember, the only other detail I could come up with was a vague notion of a mother in a hospital... and I'm not sure if it was more recently or not that I was able to come up a vision of her daughter/s trying to visit her...

But then I read about it in Anime Insider and recognized the movie (and set out on a quest to obtain it). I finally got the movie a year or two ago.

When I did watch it I was amazed because it was an entertaining story that had almost no conflict. Proving that a story does not need violence or "mature" content to make it entertaining. (Though explosions can be kind of pretty...)

I was also amused to see the catbus again. I'd actually forgotten about it, till I read the summary of the story in AI. But then, I'd also forgotten about Totoro for a while too. It was interesting to have my memory slowly recalling the story as I read the review and finally rewatched the movie.
