Comment on why are they pushing kpop demon hunters so badly? Who makes money off this new group?

  I know a lot about anime, but not as much as some. I’ve only been watching since 2013. And I know about an animated flick that’s popular with little girls, but I’m neither little (I’m in my 40s) nor female. I have a niece who’s about twice as old as your kid, but she likes any character with red hair. Or pink. I tried to get her into SPYxFAMILY (which doesn’t have any singing!) but, just because everyone’s favourite character is a four-year-old with pink hair and big green eyes, doesn’t mean the show is made for four year olds. It’s set in 1960s Germany, albeit with fictional place names, but it’s the whole East vs West, Spy Vs Spy kinda thing, except the spy needs a child to get to a reclusive rival who only ever attends school events for his young son. So he adopts this girl, but anime plot twist, she has pink hair and is telepathic (also dumb as a box of rocks). So it’s a comedy. Then he needs a wife, for the mission, and “marries” an assassin — from the other side. It’s PG-13 at best but there are a lot of gun fights, and the “mama” fights with knives. There is some blood but it’s not graphic. It’s nothing compared to what I grew up with, so I’d say it’s fine. Not all the episodes are about the kids, but a lot of them are, and the kids are pretty realistic, like how they bicker and plot and make up by the end of the day, and have their little cliques and whatnot.

  As far as traditional cartoons for toddlers… I have no idea. Kids these days play Roblox and Fortnite on tablets. I don’t know what they watch on their own.

  If you want more anime recommendations though, I can help with that. Also I wouldn’t mention something if it wasn’t in English. I watch mostly in Japanese with subtitles, but obviously that wouldn’t work for a 4 year old.
