Ah! My Goddess TV would be a good one.
Angelic Layer most definitely seconded, lovely series.
And of course Lyrical Nanoha

npal · 2006-06-20, 16:06

Ah yes, Nanoha, both seasons are nice.

aperson · 2006-06-20, 16:45

I second Kaleido Star and third FMwS.
Last Exile is a great adventure for any age.
Not sure if it's what you're looking for but check out Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou
Any Ghibli film if she doesn't want to watch a whole series.

npal · 2006-06-20, 16:48

If it's Ghibli, Spirited Away would suit her just fine.

Scorch · 2006-06-20, 17:10

Twin Spica might be good. It doesn't have anything really objectionable in it content-wise. It's about a girl who wants to become an astronaut, and her friend who wears a giant lion head.

OMG! I can't believe I forgot Twin Spica! It's one of my favorite shoujo shows ever!

Tancos · 2006-06-20, 17:20

A few unlicensed series to consider:

Peter Pan no Bouken (four episodes so far)
Mama Is a Fourth-Grader (only four episides were ever fansubbed, which is a shame)
Ribon no Kishi (only one episode is available thus far, and there may be only four, but I hope someone picks up and completes the whole series)
Kaiketsu Zorori (only one episode was ever fansubbed, which is a dirty rotten shame)

and perhaps:

Keroro Gunsou
Mahou Shoujo Tai
Sugar Sugar Rune

And there's always Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon

And some R1 DVDs:

Grrl Power
Probably most of Galaxy Angel
Jubei-Chan I
Someday's Dreamers
Magical Project S
Kamichu!

*****

Rozen Maiden isn't really suitable for children, even if most of the characters are dolls. If your niece does watch Traumend, expect her to be devastated by the tenth episode.

raphaël · 2006-06-20, 19:13

Yup, I'm sure she'd like Sugar Sugar Rune and Mahô Shôjo Tai. I'm not sure about Keroro or Ichigo Mashimaro though, or Kare Kano. The "rythm" of those isn't made for children I'd say...

Then of course, any Ghibli will be perfect ( except Mononoke, which can be scary...).

Furudanuki · 2006-06-20, 21:26

A couple of series that no one has suggested thus far:

Petopeto-san
Binchou-tan

Torrents for Binchou-tan are available here on AnimeSuki. Petopeto-san torrents are not, since it is a Media Factory product. But, seek and ye shall find.

Another series worth looking into is Gakuen Alice. However, of the 26 episodes in this series the last to be subbed was #15, and that was several months ago.

tritoch · 2006-06-20, 21:33

Magic Knight Rayearth
Princess Tutu
Karin

Radiosity · 2006-06-20, 21:33

If you can find it, I'd heartily recommend Laputa: Castle in the Sky, great film.

And I'll add Twin Spica as well to back up the others who mentioned it, it really is a wonderful series.

physics223 · 2006-06-21, 04:20

Oh, a nine-year old. Drat.

Doraemon is good for ALL ages.

Lost · 2006-06-21, 06:37

Scrapped Princess. Nice mix of plot, comedy, adventure, family and (somewhat) moral themes, combat, and touching moments. I'm sure she'll be able to handle it. Its basically set in a post-apocalyptic medieval world, and features a 15+ year old girl wandering the countryside (with her brother and sister) as an unwanted princess, as a prophecy states that she will destroy the world when she turns 16. Interesting?

Its licensed, but I'm sure you can buy it.

yamikage · 2006-06-21, 07:36

I strongly second Twin Spica. Twin Spica is very good even for someone of my age and teaches a lot of values without getting preachy.
Akazukin Chacha is good, too. It's a magical girl show and an overall pleasant one.
Haibane Renmei would also be nice. Even if it gets a bit dark at times, everything goes well in the end.

I'd also like to recommend Alien Nine and Narutaru. Just kidding, you wouldn't want to traumatize your niece.

miaka · 2006-06-21, 07:58

Some shoujo anime for young girls
Ashita no Nadja - adventure story of a young girl who traveled around Europe.

Pretty Cure Max Heart/ Splash Star - also a magic girl series
