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.

CITY The Animation

I really think most of the jokes here will fly over a 6-year-old child's head. It may not have anything inappropriate in it, but the target audience is still adults.

How many jokes in Animaniacs fly over the heads of kids? If a kid can watch and enjoy it, even if they don't get all the jokes, that's fine.

If a kid can watch and enjoy it

That's the problem, I don't think a 6-year-old child would enjoy it. There's a difference between not getting all the jokes and not even getting half of them. The primary target audience of Animaniacs is children, with some effort put in to allow adults to also enjoy it. The primary target audience of CITY The Animation is adults.

Media targetted towards children is generally garbage. Are you afraid of children asking parents to explain things?
