I’d suggest “How to Keep a Mummy” from a few years back. Super cute and wholesome.

Maybe something chill and comfy like Yuru Camp ?

K-On!, Laid back camp, Sailor Moon, ghibli movies as many have already stated, all good to try

Spy x Family

Cardcaptor Sakura

Bocchi the Rock

Nichijou

Spirited Away

Toradora

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken

Dragon Pilot

Komi Can’t Communicate

Violet Evergarden

Your Name

Ancient magus bride was a cute fairy tale type anime

I don’t want to get hurt so I’ll max out my defense AKA Bofuri

Cardcaptor Sakura and Sailor Moon were made with kids in mind, I think. Definitely seems like a lot of people grew up watching them.

Keep your hands off Eizouken is one of my recent favourites, and I think would be really enjoyable as a kid. Lots of imagination scenes and a really sweet story about friends.

Nichijou should also be inoffensive, just kid shenanigans. They don’t always make sense, but the tone is very chill. Also Azumanga Daiou, similar vibes I think.

Paripi Koumei is a recent show about a girl trying to launch her singing career with the help of a reincarnated chinese general, I don’t think it has any scary scenes but a lot of it does take place in a club, and depicts alcohol. But the story and characters are heart-warming and I enjoyed it a lot.

I’ve also heard very good things about Carole and Tuesday, which came out around the same time and also centres around music. But I’d recommend looking into the themes more, I don’t know how serious it gets.

Hinamatsuri - I think this might be the funniest show I’ve ever watched. It cracked me up even on a rewatch. It does center on a Yakuza member, so there are some jokes that might appear scary, though being a comedy of course everything works out pretty quickly. It depends on her tolerance for those themes.

One I don’t see recommended often is Gatchaman Crowds. I just looked up the rating and it is 13+, but I loved that show, and remember recommending it to my younger brother around your daughter’s age.

I haven’t met a 9-year-old in a while, so sorry if my recommendations skew a little older! Definitely the first three should be good for her, the others might need to wait a year or two depending on her tolerance and what you’re okay showing her. But if she watched Little Witch Academia, none of these shows get darker than that, for sure.

You know, I was half expecting people to troll and suggest something like “Made in Abyss”.

TV Shows

• Sailor Moon Crystal
• Spy x Family - there is some light spoiler 1 in the beginning
• Pokemon
• Dr. Stone - Profanity/Partial Nudity non-gratuitous spoiler 2 (my 9 yr old loves this show)
• Avatar: The Last Airbender
• The Legend of Korra - LGBTQ Themes spoiler 3

Movies

• My Neighbor Totoro
• Ponyo
• Spirited Away - illicit substances and blood spoiler 1
• Kiki’s Delivery Service - smoking

Non Non Biyori, Mitsuboshi Colors, and K-on are pretty light-hearted, slice of life, comedies that would all be good

Many of the Ghibli movies should be perfectly fine (My Neighbor Totoro, Whisper of the Heart, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Ponyo, The Secret World of Arrietty, …).
