Alternative anime to Demon Slayer suitable for 9 year old? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

My daughter has picked up an interest in Demon Slayer, however having watched a little I think it's too violent/mature.

I'd love to foster her interest in these things, by trying out an alternative anime that hits similar notes while being more age apropriate.

Any recommendations?

I’d give Natsume’s Book of Friends a look. it’s a good middle ground between Pokémon and Demon Slayer. It focuses on japanese folk lore monsters and what nots. there’s no major violence or killing.

Natsume is a pretty good suggestion. There are some episodes that can have sad themes, but not any worse than you find in Disney movies aimed at kids. Also, there is a lot of content so you can just turn it on and let it play for a while to keep them busy. Finally, it is an anthology, so episodes are self-contained stories for the most part, so if they get distracted and miss the plot of an episode, its not really an issue.
