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 think it's more the maturity of it, then that it's a female protagonist. So I don't think Pokemon will tick the box, but then Demon Slayer ticks the box too much if that makes sense?

        I feel she's the type who would like Pokemon Origins. It hews closer to the game than the regular series with Ash and is more—and without too much of it—gritty.

    Any Studio Ghibli movie seems to be age appropriate and has a female protagonist featured in most: Princess Mononoke, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle, Totoro, Spirited Away, Ponyo

    A Silent Voice - has some serious/mature themes but someone your daughter's age can understand

    Bocchi the Rock

      I think Bocchi is a good recommendation, especially if the kid has social anxiety themselves. Though since one of the supporting characters is an alcoholic, I think parents should consider the maturity of the child and decide if they think some background explanation is needed.

    It's old by now but I'll chime in with Cardcaptor Sakura.. I enjoyed that as a kid at a similar age.
