Kodomomuke translates from Japanese as "intended for children" and predictably indicates Anime and Manga aimed at children younger than the typical Shonen and Shojo viewers. Owing to the Animation Age Ghetto (which occurred in full effect in both America and Japan), this sort of media often makes the transition from Japanese to Western audiences with fewer (oft-lamented) changes.
None of this is meant to imply that you need to feel odd about liking anything on the list. Enjoy yourself! We won't judge you. ...All right, fine, we will.
Examples of Kodomomuke include:
- Anpanman
- Astro Boy (manga and anime)
- Bomberman Jetters
- Chinpui
- Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z
- Doraemon (Manga, anime and a seriously Long Runner)
- Hamtaro
- Kirby of the Stars
- Kiteretsu Daihyakka
- Pretty Cure
- Pretty Sammy (TV series specifically)
- World Masterpiece Theater
