Conclusion
Anime is a great source of entertainment for parents who want to watch their kids while they’re distracted, but it’s also a great source of entertainment for new parents. The psychology behind how adults watch shows is often very different than how children watch shows, and this is also true for anime.
Parents can find a wide variety of shows that are appropriate for their kids based on their age and maturity level. For example, shows aimed at children will be animated and use simplified dialogue, while shows aimed at adults will have more realistic dialogue and more mature themes.
