I know there was a similar topic to this, but it's old and I just want to know: what was your first anime and what are animes suitable for younger children (eight year old boys?)? Mine was Sword Art Online

There is always Cardcaptor Sakura which is for a younger audience. I didn't start watching anime until I was an adult, but my son started watching with me at about 8 or 9 years old. We watched some relatively tame ones like Fruits Basket, Ouran High School Host Club, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, Avatar (if you want to count a Nickelodeon show as "anime") and Inuyasha. Those were his first ones. The first one I remember watching is Tsubasa.

My first two were Robotech and Speed Racer. I think Speed Racer will be better for the younger set.

>6 gilroy: i both disagree and agree speed racer has had some..rather bad things in it

>2 chaotic.cacophony: My first was likely the original Voltron, though I think it had a different name when it aired on TV back in the day. I actually didn't like it much.
The first show that really caught me up as an anime fan was Ranma 1/2. That was in high school. A friend was able to order VHS tapes from an import catalog. (I'm old.) Before that, I'm not sure I knew that the animated shows on TV were from Japan.
Recommendations for an eight-year-old? Hmm. All I can think of at the moment is Digimon. I tend to think of mixed-origin (like Canadian-French-Japanese) shows as for children while most anime distributed in the USA as for teens and adults. How broad a definition are we using?

My first anime was pokemon lol but it might not be considered an anime so one of my first animes was OG naruto and The Seven Deadly Sins.

>2 chaotic.cacophony: I've started watching Little Witch Academia, which so far looks perfect for eight-year-olds who like watching cute girls learning magic. The story plays out like deathless shounen. ("I'm going to be one of the most powerful magic users! But first, I have to make friends and escape extreme dangers no one else has had to deal with in a long time to level up from being one of the weakest!")
14DEMON_King_Meliodas
>13 aspirit: I want to watch Little Witch Academia but idk if its good, but this kinda sounds like naruto or aot with being the weakest but becoming stronger and stopping any danger that people haven't dealt with in a long time.
15aspirit
>14 DEMON_King_Meliodas: I put off watching the show for a while. Netflix kept recommending it, but I figured it wasn't actually good for me. I'm glad I gave it a chance.

My first one was Pokemon. I remember also watching Digimon, Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z, and Hamtaro.
17SqueakyChu
My first anime was Your Name which my older son took me to see. It was so beautiful.
18Silas-_-
Ah, I believe my first anime was My Hero Academia, It came highly recommended to me by a couple friend of mine. It is kind of sad seeing how far I have fallen into the Anime/Manga territory in 1 year.
*Edit*
Actually, scratch that, it was Voltron

>17 SqueakyChu: I heard that the manga to Your Name was really good.
20Covid_Karin
>17 SqueakyChu: I LOVE your name it was kinda confusing but yeah
21SqueakyChu
>19 Silas-_-: Probably, but I doubt that it could top the anime-- which I was able to see back in the pre-covid days when it was actually safe to attend a movie!

my first wasen't a very child friendly one so i won't be saying the name (unless someone wants to know, but only because its not THAT bad) and i watched it because it had a cutesy cover, said "cat" in the title, and i was like 6, and obsessed with cats! also my dad left it in an easy to reach place and both parents were out of the house. a child friendly anime i watched as a kid would prolly be fruits basket (the old one, and only like the first season, it was on dvd ok?) but i also loved the pokemon movies, like this one with music legendaries, i dont remember the names but my parents had the vhs tapes of them and me and my brother watched that one allllll the time, we also loved the og pokemon! (though, his love was undying, and i found more interesting things!)
44OliverOil
>8 aspirit: YOOOO!!! MY MA WATCHES RANMA 1/2!!!
45OliverOil
>13 aspirit: oh!! something i know that is similar goes by the name of Mary And The Witch's Flower, also very child friendly! by a group of former studio ghibli animators so you know its good!
46OliverOil
>16 DoomLuz: OMG OMG HAMTARO!!!! I FORGOT ABOUT THAT SHOW AAA!!! I LOVED HAMTARO AS A LITTLE KID!!!

48OliverOil
>47 Sxkurablossom: frrrrr!! she showed me some of it and even showed me how she memorized the outro song,she still remembered it even after the years she hadn't seen the show!!
49sillygooberness
I think my first anime was seven deadly sins
50OliverOil
>49 sillygooberness: i used to rewatch the first season over and over and over as a kid!! (13, but still-) but when the series got expanded, i thought it wasn't very good, i've got to go rewatch that first season tho!!
51sillygooberness
>50 OliverOil: I rewatched the first season too, I think the newer seasons were good but the story was a bit confusing lol
52OliverOil
>51 sillygooberness: yeah, tbh when i first found out it had more i didnt really wanna watch it but all my friends were telling me to watch it, so i just started up the first episode and i hated it, i didn't even finish it i hated it so much. (honestly, looking back, its not that bad, it just wasn't what i wanted to watch back then so i was practically looking for reasons to turn it off and watch what i was actually wanted to see... i'll try and properly watch it at some point though!)
