Alternative anime to Demon Slayer suitable for 9 year old? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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?

My 8 year old has been watching Demon Slayer and loving it. But she had a "gateway show" to get into that -- InuYasha. She saw me watching InuYasha and started watching it with me and then became addicted to that. I think that set the bar for what kind of anime she likes, , and so watching Demon Slayer seemed like some kind of natural progression. Anyway, it really depends on the kid, but if they can watch cartoon violence and not get freaked out, then it should be fine.
