It's not the 1000-year-old-who-looks-8 trope, it's the 1000-year-old-who-looks-25 trope. She's never portrayed as anything close to childlike.

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.

I understand the frustation. I hella do. But nothing can be solved by burying our heads in the sand and ignoring politics. Nor can we agree to disagree over the fundamental human rights that are in danger.

The word 'fascism' gets thrown around so much that I'm sure you're ready to shut down and tune me out as soon as I say it, but it's a real threat that is happening. And it must be actively fought, we cannot afford to ignore it.

It's not extreme vs. extreme. It's right vs. wrong.

• Them's Fightin' Herds went through a very tragic downfall. Publisher fired the entire development team at the end of 2023, before the final DLC character was even finished, and then released her in a completely broken state. Much later they would eventually put out a hotfix patch with several pages of nerfs, and this character is still banned competitively. They did promise further fixes, but they promised that a long time ago and it's been radio silence since. All other promised content updates, including Story Mode, are canceled.
  Despite all that, the community's still here. I'm about to leave for Combo Breaker 2025 this weekend, where TFH will be one of the brackets I'm entering. Only a side event, bracket's small, but as long as there are brackets I will show up to them.
• Skullgirls is somehow still here, 13 years after release. It's had a long history of perpetual development troubles, and yet has always been kicking. Earlier this year it came out that the developers are suing the publisher over $1.2 million they haven't been paid, so it looks like this actually is the end of development for real now. Fortunately the final patch is in a very good state, they went out on a high note and I'm happy with the finished product.
  But again, the community? Still here. Also at Combo Breaker 2025, as a main stage headliner. Skullgirls will never die.
• Puyo Puyo Champions is the most functional version of the game, in fact it's the only version on modern platforms that is faithfully accurate to original Tsu rules. Sega let it fall by the wayside in order to sell buggy rehashed crossovers and mobile subscription service exclusives, but PPC is the version you should be playing, don't buy the shovelware that is skinwalking the IP now. Unfortunately, Sega's mismanagement has split the playerbase because of all the shovelware they're pushing, and the west in particular is a hopeless mess because of it. For best results, queue when Japan is awake. But you can still play this version, and you should!

'Civilized' is definitely not the right way to describe less privileged nations. People there certainly aren't 'uncivilized', and to describe them as such carries heavy colonialist overtones.

Though really you should've recognized the red flags from this person the moment they tried to justify the use of slurs.

Obviously they're referring to the lore of Under Night In-Birth.

Lemmy getting bigger wouldn't mean that smaller communities vanish. It would actually allow for more small communities around niche topics to be able to sustain themselves on the platform, and those would still be close-knit spaces where regulars would know each other pretty well. To me that's the biggest thing Lemmy lacks that Reddit has, I can't just type in /r/gameI'mcurrentlyplaying, /r/showI'mcurrentlywatching, etc and find an active community for all my hyperfixations.

Believe me, I'm critical of a lot of things Nintendo does. But I also don't think they're anywhere near the worst publisher in the industry right now. And at the end of the day, their games are a lot more appealing to me than almost anything else coming out of the AAA space.

Thank you. The circlejerking has gotten so far out of hand and it's tiring. It's gotten to the point where I can't say I'm excited for Kirby Air Riders without someone following me around to tell me I am literally killing gaming - and yes, that was an actual reply guy I had to deal with.

I don't go into into communities for things I hate just to annoy the people there, and I don't understand why anyone feels the need to come here just to be obnoxious.
