As I admitted, I don't know much about anime yet, and it is good to see your advice and a guide to choosing. Thanks, Tim, for this!

And after going to a anime convention over the weekend we can tell you they are getting more kid friendly in many cases. parents have to be very careful, just because a dvd box looks cute, the anime may not be. To add to the list of good ones, darcy recommends: The cat returns. A Chinese Ghost Story Whisper of the Heart Dog of Flanders The best online guide I have found is here: http://www.abcb.com/parents/ How ever, I strongly disagree that the movie "Grave of the Fireflys" is something you want to let kids see. The is very much more geared towards adults. It deals with two kids, a brother and sister; who are living on their own after the mother is killed during a bombing. very sad and depressing. I seen it myself years ago, and it's images still trouble me. I won't let darcy watch it, so i would recommend parents do the same. otherwise the web site is a good tool, and has very good descriptions of the anime.
