im probably gonna start off simple, so probably a shonen, yuyu hakusho or hxh
- Sogeking 5y
  Yeah shonen is prolly what everyone would start off with because that’s what everyone grew up with.
Taratheweeb 5y
all of them
SMatarratas 5y

Without joking, it would probably be Cardcaptor Sakura if it's a girl and One Punch Man if it's a boy.
- tjam1 5y
  Cardcaptor for both for me. It was my first anime and im a male

assuming that when we say "kids," we are not talking about teenagers, i would show them naruto. it was my first anime and i was like... eleven years old? naruto, for me, is a show that is easy to understand so i had a lot of fun watching it.

if i showed my kids something like steins;gate... they'd probably fall asleep because it's sort of (really) complicated and hard to understand what's happening... even i had trouble understanding (i hope it's not just me) it and i had to rewatch to really process everything :'D

if possible, i'd get them to read bleach (not watch... the anime sucks), but i feel like they might not like reading manga until they are teenagers?

anyways, i'm rambling XD short answer is: naruto :P

Naruto

  Can’t go wrong with naruto every age loves it

I don't have any kids but I do have a younger brother who I plan to introduce to anime when he gets to the age of 5 or 6. I haven't given it much thought but if I had to pick on a whim I'd say Dr. Stone
- Sogeking 5y
  Too much knowledge for a small kid
  Iceawhite 5y
  Too much knowledge for me as well but that doesn't stop me
  Sogeking 5y
  True

I will chose something depending on their age
if they are less than 10 years old, I will show them pokemon.
if they are a little bit older I will show them some shounen, like one piece, HxH, naruto.
- Iceawhite 5y
  They'll find pokemon on their own, you wouldn't need to show it to them

lucky star
i don't even like lucky star that much, but having to see lucky star in your childhood is very memorable

  Fax they need to start off with a bang
Limitless 5y
Steins;Gate
- Bakaiyarou 5y
  really? isn't steins;gate a little too difficult for kids to understand?
  Limitless 5y
  If my kids can't understand the plot of Steins;Gate by age 5, they're not my kids anymore.

  Just what I'd expect from the one they call the LimitSurpasser

  Let me catch my son not saying El Psy Kongroo after everything he says in 2030
  Limitless 5y
  Bro, I would be so proud.

Attack on Titan, Death Note, and Parasyte.
- phantomdisruptor 5y
  i wouldnt pick any of those, too much gore for a kid to handle
  SilentLoudNoise 5y
  Yeah that's the point of the joke, hehe
  Soka 5y
  should show them Berserk.
SteveFreeling 5y
I'd probably start with My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Ponyo, maybe Howl's Moving Castle also, and wait until they're just a little older for Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, and Spirited Away. While Akira is my favorite, they likely wouldn't see it until their teenage years.

I'm surprised by the lack of Studio Ghibli representation in the replies. I'd definitely consider myself to be a newbie/non-committal anime watcher relatively-speaking (see my profile for proof), but Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, and other Miyazaki films would be my go-to picks, 100%. Those were the anime that started it all for me, and they are films that even non-anime-watchers tend to appreciate, making them a perfect segway into the anime world.
- Sogeking 5y
  I haven’t seen any but some look like great movies a kid would enjoy
  racerclc 5y
  Yeah, Studio Ghibli makes some great stuff for all ages. Kids are able to enjoy the films for the storytelling, but older folk can appreciate them as well and pick up on many more of the subtler messages thrown into each film (trying my best not to sound too childish myself, haha). Classics for sure.
dlyw 5y
probably any movie made from Studio Ghibli
