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.

Delicious has a bunch of fanservice but it’s all a joke and entirely focused on the dwarf character who is an old man.

My dad let me rent an anime when I was 11 or 12. He was like “eh get whatever, it’s cartoons.”

I chose Ninja Scroll.

I turned out fine hahaha

For those unititiated, this anime movie includes a woman who is literally toxic to sleep with. Her body poisons any of her partner and they die shortly after.

This is confirmed with a scene where someone sleeps with her against her will. It is very not appropriate for a 12 year old.

It was absolutely not appropriate. Add to that the HORRIFICALLY gratuitous dismemberment, decapitation, and other gruesome acts of torture… the fucking honestly was the LEAST of the issue.

My little brain was like “whoaaaa… anime is bad ass!”

Then I moved on to stuff like Azumanga, Excel Saga, and Cat Soup. Yknow, the hardcore stuff.
