The girl is 7, parents are usually stricter about TV or movies than videogames in America so PG-13 might be pushing it

Ending is my favorite track. And did I mention? Both the op and ed are done by Shonan no Kaze aka that band that sang the Gaim op.
I really love how they are trying to emulate the rough art style of the original 60s anime.

Here in the US, people are a bit more stricter with video games since you can interact with them (Remember the controversies surrounding for MK and GTA?).

For a seven year old girl, I also think Carcaptor Sakura, Little Witch Academia (From what I've seen of it, it's rated TV-PG on Netflix), Polar Bear Cafe (There is no dub. Not sure if she can read subs) and Tokyo Mew Mew are pretty decent choices too.

Strict parents would look at the age ratings of those games and not buy them for the kids in the first place
But fuck yeah, Little Witch Academia's an amazing choice even if I haven't seen the anime yet

Age ratings make no sense to me. A show that is TV14 in the US might be rated TVY7 in Japan because they know how to actually discipline their children.

Frankly, I still think the whole ratings thing is bogus and parents should be required to actually parent their child and decide what they want their child to watch and what not to watch.

That's what my parents did. Hell, I wasn't even allowed to watch Nightmare Before Xmas until my mom watched it on VHS first. I wasn't even allowed to watch R rated horror movies until I was 15.

If my parents can do it, then anyone's can.

I never understood the ratings either, my mom was ok with me watching adult swim when I was like 9 as long as I didn't repeat the swears. So I could not repeat anything from Lupin the Third and Case Closed.

And a chunk of parents don't even know how to discipline their kids or be good parents. Hell my mom has told me of this one bad kid on her bus (she is a school bus driver), that if this little shit was my kid he would be beaten and his stuff would be either taken away/ broken.

When I was 5-10 years old, I already seen anime like Akira, Vampire Hunter D (The first movie), Lily C.A.T., Demon City Shinjuku, Ninja Scroll, Bio Hunter, Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, Twilight of the Dark Master, A.D Police (1990 OVA), Crying Freeman, Dominion: Tank Police, Gall Force, Fist of the North Star, Battle Angel Alita, Cyber City Oedo 808 and Armitage III which would have gore or nudity in it. My parents told me that cartoons are not real and don't repeat on what you see on TV.

Heck I even read Spawn comics and play Mortal Kombat in Elementary School. I know every kid is different, I think it is not good to shelter them. I think Shojo like Sailor Moon and Magic Knight Rayearth are okay for kids at 7 or 8 years old.

Tokyo Ghoul's anti-prejudice "humans are the real monsters" message kind of falls apart when you stop and realize that the targets of this horrible prejudice kill and eat people on the regular.

Well, except for the part where "humans are the real monsters" has never been the position the story takes.

But sure.

Well TV Tropes cites TG as an example of the trope but whatevs.

The Anteiku ghouls are still just as evil as the Aogiri ghouls as far as I'm concerned.
