>>63710592

Of course those shows wouldn't be fucking appropriate. Just make the watch Narooty and Wan Piece, fucks sake

Boku no Pico sounds like it would be good.

Madoka? Did you ever bothered yourself to watch it? Did you reach to the scene when Homura shoots Madoka in the face while crying?

>>63710751
>>63710658

They're in middle school, not kindergarten. They know people die when they are killed.

Ano Hana is acceptable but Madoka no.

>>63710658

I thought Madoka would have been okay because the violence isn't shown, mostly implied.

No matter what you show, there will be at least one kid who accuses you of child molestation.

Couple that with the fact that you're running an anime club and well....

>>63710592

I'll be serious here. Grab Fruits Basket for the female members and Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya for the Guys. Maybe even Lucky Star if you need to take up more time.

These aren't the greatest anime but they are easy to find,Dubbed and won't get the "Mizz Thang" mom on your ass.

>As for Boku no Pico.... Watch that. You'll know why asking advice here is stupid.

You should show them TTGL, that'll make a man out of all of them

Friend is lending me Azumanga. That would make 2 Slice of Life-ish anime. Need a bit of variety now.

>>63710836
Yes but maybe those kids have retard over-protective parents.

>>63710836

Although I said this, while the children might be fine with Madoka, the parents are another story. If you're an American, don't be surprised if a parent complains you're trying to turn their daughter into a homosexual.

>>63710958

Really wanted to, but Yoko and it's kind of bloody and they curse a lot. I wanted that to be an example of a good dubbed anime.

No way in hell this is real, but it is interesting to consider.

I'd probably go with lowball comedy like Azumanga Daioh and Nichijou.

Other than that, maybe big 3 shounenshit or tier 2 shounenshit like FMA.

Select episodes of Gintama MIGHT be ok.

>>63710999
>>63711014

Just thought of that.

Boku no Pico
Ergo Proxy
Bible Black
Black Lagoon
Gunslinger Girl
Grave of the Fireflies
Highschool of the Dead
Nisemonogatari
Hidan no Aria
Golgo 13

I'm serious about Ergo Proxy; shame on you if you couldn't pick that out of the bunch, anon.

>>63710935
>Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
>safe

>>63710866
The deaths are implied. The violence is not, otherwise we wouldn't have seen Homu shoot the shit out of Wall Street Night or see Sayaka kick the crap out of Elsa Maria.

>>63710989
Would a middle schooler have the attention span for Azumanga?

I let my sister watch Madoka, it is fine.

They watch movies that are worse than that.

Precure marathon.

I'm serious

Do it.

Ano Hana, as much as I like the series, is pretty slow at times. The kids are doing this afterschool right? Is Ano Hana a show you can watch after a long day at school + with a bunch of other people around you? Personally shows like Ano Hana i'd prefer to watch alone. If it comes to emotional shit, being around with other people may lessen the impact of some parts of the anime. Just my 2 cents.


I say pick a series thats exciting enough to peak their interests in it even after theyre tired from school

Just show them DBZ, Sailor Moon, or anything ever aired on Toonami.

cromartie high school

Do it faggot

>>63711129
Middle schoolers are too old for that.

>>63711094

There's no actually nudity. And by the time you hit 6th or 7th grade you've seen worse in real life.

Black rock shooter is about middle schoolers, you can show them that

Kids nowadays in middle school can't watch anything above G rating. Teachers must abide by this, and most likely because parents got sue happy. Be careful what you show them.

>>63711094

>massive tit jokes
>safe

HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE MOLE ON MY TIT?!

>>63711109
Yes.

>>63711215

That would be fine until the "Special" Student tries to set his or her left eye ablaze.

>Admit it. You've known classmates that would actually try.

K-On! would be appropriate for them. Might be too shitty for the boys to like it though.

>>63711215

That actually might be good. I only saw the OVA though. Not sure how the new episodes are though.

>>63711190
It's not a matter of what the kids can handle but what the parents will say when they hear about it.

Sounds a bit odd. Never really heard of an anime club in anything younger than highschool.

I can understand why you wouldn't wanna show Big 3 stuff, but that's probably the easiest thing you can show them. Other than that though, since im guessing they're not gonna wanna watch anything that isn't dubbed, You could try showing them a few Miyazaki movies if they haven't seen them already.

>>63711109
It's pretty much joke after joke, why wouldn't they?

Lupin III - the entirety of the series has a run time of about a week (168 hours), which would give you more than enough material to screen.

>>63711271
>"Special" Student
ANOTHER. Imagine what the "Special" student would try and do in that instance.

Why are parents nowadays such an overprotective faggots?

>>63710866
No? The violence and death actually happens and you do see it on screen. Madoka is a terrible choice because it's too dark and scary for the girls, yet too feminine with the character designs for little 12 year old boys to watch. You need something mostly lighthearted that will satisfy both audiences, so if you have to make a choice between the two then pick AnoHana. Maybe they'll enjoy the melodrama, who knows. Angel Beats could fit too in that regard.

Shounen is always good for middle school. Try something like Soul Eater or Full Metal Alchemist

>>63711271
I would be more concerned about the girls who would become insane sexually active lesbians, but i guess that's bad too

>>63711081
Are you trying to bore them to death?

>>63711190
While there might not be nudity, there's still lots of groping, fetishistic outfits, and photographical evidence of blatant sexual harassment. Face it, Haruhi and Mikuru's antics make it impossible to watch with normalfags.

>people recommending K-ON or Madoka to 13 year old boys.
They have already entered the rebellious phase, they won't watch shows with girls.

Just show them the One Piece 4kids dub.

>pascolibraries.org
I swear to god you guys better not mean Pasco County, Florida. I will trash everything

Show them Miyazaki movies, they are perfect for them.

>>63711324

>ANOTHER. Imagine what the "Special" student would try and do in that instance.

I Can hear the CNN Special now.

You know these days middle schoolers probably have seen worse. Just go for Azumanga as a safe pick, as pretty much anyone can enjoy that.

I've always wanted to see a middle schooler's reaction to EoE. Anyways try making them watch Angel Beats, K-on, or Sora no Woto.

What's so gay about Madoka?

It just seems like a strong sismance.... bromance.. sisteromance.

Make the guys watch G Gundam. There is also a love story the girls will like.

Is it mainly made up of boys or girls? Or is it a somewhat even split?

>>63711126
What would be worse than Madoka? Steins;Gayte?

kids shit eh?
cross game
princess tutu
dennou coil
kemono no souja erin
black lagoon

>>63711480

It's a somewhat even split. Thought Madoka would be good because it has a balance of action and girl drama.

>>63711510
0/10

>>63711316
Hmm, it's been a while since I saw it but doesn't it have a pretty laid back pace?
It's not exactly like Nichijou where they try to cram in as much as they can in as short a time as possible.

If they're fine with subs then there are couple of options, if not then just show Slayers.

>>63711510
Big woof.
We're talking about over-protective, Soccer mom-approved series.
1/10

>>63711510
Protip: don't ever mention you're a minor on here no matter how badly you want to.

>>63711537
Why.

Hey OP, what about newer shows? Mouretsu, Kill me Baby?

have you talked to the kids yet? Do they watch subs or dubs, because that shit limits the possibilites.

>>63711510
>I'm 14
0/10
You're not trolling me!

>>63711462
Madoka is pretty gay, they wouldn't notice it though. But it'd be a bit too grimdark for them.

>>63711585
Middle school kids these days don't have the attention span to read.

Ask them what they would want to watch.
If the response is a resounding, "WAN PISS," then put on Full Metal Alchemist or Eva.

There's an anime club at the Pasco County library?

High School Boys to make them look forward to high school so they don't drop out.

You have to head an anime club?
For children starting puberty?
Jesus, you poor man.
How'd you get stuck doing that?

Look for Funimation-dubbed anime, that's the only way not to get sued, despite its shittiness.

>>63711510
see pic
>>63711531
Again.... if it's really middleschool you don't want to show them an anime like this.
Group mindset at this age = hurr girl anime
and then they'll sling shit at you

Middle schoolers should be outside living out the rest of their childhood years to the fullest, not sitting inside watching shit they wont understand or take anything away from. If you are going to show them anything it should be uplifting stuff not emotional stuff like Anohana or otaku pandering stuff like Madoka.

>>63711613
Well, at least if asked you have an excuse for using subs. "It increases their reading comprehension."

>>63711585
Moretsu is shit, and they wouldn't laugh at kmb.

Have you talked to the kids yet, OP?
What did they say?

>>63711462
It gets incredibly gay during episode 10. Or maybe my yuri goggles are strapped on too tight.

>>63711370
soul eater is always a good choice, even though it's not a show that /a/ prefers. it's good for kids and the manga is good

>>63711619
>Western World
>One Piece

Nope, it's all about Nuruta and Blech here

Play some shitty one on the first few days then get the parents to sign a permission slip to play things like TTGL.

>>63711557
K-on... if you scan the whole series... it's not that bad. Sawako once says "bitches" but in general... Maybe retard soccer moms will say that Tsumugi is a lesbian blah blah (she really isn't)

>>63711448
>implying people won't complain about the constant long silences
>implying the boys won't complain about Chiyo singing about making cakes every other minute in the first episode
Remember, they aren't patient, rational or logical, even less so in groups.

Is this shit for real? And you work at the library, don't delude yourself.

OP, show them this.
It's cute and it has a talking hamster.
Perfectly innocent fun for the kiddies.

>>63711641

Because manager is always looking for new things that will keep the kids busy. So we asked the kids what they wanted and they voted for an Anime Club and a Glee Club.

I help with the glee club too.

I don't really like the show Glee.

>>63711706
>permission to play TTGL
Are parents that retarded in america or what?

OP go with Madoka!
Post results here, as well.

>>63711768
Yes, yes they are.

Basically anything dubbed by Funimation and anything with less than a 13+ rating in the manga.

Also any of the Miyazaki movies.

>>63711641
This. If you plan to screen this shit in school, you'll get fucked if anyone finds out you're showing fansubs.

>>63711707
Yes, but, read the thread a bit closer, everyone's already said "attention spans are low, >hurr durr girly anime"

>>63711431


It's the only Pasco I know of, I and agree lets run a train on them.

>>63711510
Yeah, but imagine that in a school environment though

I think Trigun and s-CRY-ed are safe bets for guys, i think

>>63711790
My Neighbor Totoro has naked little girls in a bath with their dad. That's way too Jap for American tastes.

FLCL
Perfect for coming of age kids.

>>63711750

I just googled "Anime Club" and the image in the OP is what showed up. I don't work at that actual area

>Great Teacher Onizuka

/thread

>>63711853
What? Don't kids bathe with their family in amurrica?

Honestly, a permission slip for questionable anime seems like a decent idea. Just give a brief overview of said show and what questionable content it contains. Let the parent decide.

Great Teacher Onizuka

Strike Witches. They have cute animal ears and don't wear pants. Perfect for keeping both little boys and girls in line.

Either that or fucking Yu Yu Hakusho.

>>63711921
Nope. Or at least not with a naked parent.

>>63711880
Kodomo no Jikan

>>63711880
>>63711947
That show isn't really age appropriate.

>>63711963
Strange country

You can always show them Cromartie dubbed.

>>63711971

Teaches kids to stand up for themselves so it wont happe-Ya your right I'm just making excuses cause it's so great.

Death Note

Do it you motherfucker and post results.

Why not ask the kids what they want to watch?

What about the English-dubbed Fairy Tail?
Funimation dubbed and censored, for your parents.
Violence for your Edgy and Rebellious boys.
Crappy and easily understood story for everyone of the kids in the club.
Kinda shitty recommendation, but it's all I can think of at the moment.

Seriously though, I genuinely feel bad for you, awful predicament.

Spice and Wolf. Instill the merits of romance and capitalism early.

Golden Boy-- Er, no. No. Nope.

Baccano-- Probably too violent.

Crap, uh... Uh...Summer...Wars? Even though it's a movie?

Azumanga Daioh? Astro Boy (2003 series)?
I don't know.
GUESS IT'S JUST BETWEEN HAMTARO AND EBICHU, NOW.

Nanoha.

Is it just me, or am I the only one generally surprised at how seriously we're trying to help OP here?
I know /a/ can be nice at certain times, but...

>>63712151
HAMTARO SUCKS ASS

>>63712217
YOU SUCKS ASS

/a/ is so nice.

I've watched stuff like Samurai Champloo, Berserk, and Baccano at that age, just show whatever kids aren't that fragile like you think. But based on the recent fanbases, Bakemonogatari for girls and Fate/Zero for boys.

>>63712217
YOU MUST BE A CAT BECAUSE YOU HATE HAMSTERS

Jesus Christ, this is why you guys should never get a job dealing with kids.

Zoids
Beyblade
Cardfight Vanguard
Crushgear Turbo
Bakusō Kyōdai Let's & Go!!
etc.

Anything that's (mostly) advertised as a toy commercial is a safe bet for Middle Schoolers.

>>63711337
because they made the shit, and they want to sculpt that shit into what they want the shit to be. they don't want no violent, perverted fag teaching their children the path of sin

<Recommendation thread>

>>63712197
We're j-just giving him what he wants so he leaves, is all.
Don't take it the wrong way, we're not nice at all.

>>63712270
Yeah and make them eat baby food because thats all they can digest. Fucking hell stop acting like every young human is mentall handicapped.

>>63712249
>Bakemonogatari for girls
>Pantyshot in the first minute

Evangelion.

I watched Eva TV, EoE and Rebuild with my 11 year old sister. She fucking loved it and she can't wait for 3.0

In case you don't want to ruin their lives, just do FLCL or some shit.

Show them Kaiji OP. Bonus points if they start playing Restricted Rock/Paper/Scissors during class.

Blood motherfucking plus. I know you said 13 or less episodes and it has 50, but fucking play it. I would have loved that shit.

>>63712336
Most of bakes fanbase consists of girls though, they can probably relate to the characters and look up to Senjougahara.

Cardcaptor Sakura

They can enjoy it while you bask in all of the unhidden homosexuality

>>63712314

>>63712331
Gotta keep the content restrictions in mind, though.

>any anime that's under 13 episodes and doesn't show too much violence, sex, drug use, or cussing.

Otherwise, the book'd be wide open, I think.

>>63712373
I actually watched that roughly around that age and I thought the plot was shitty and the battles were boring as heck.

>>63712331
Might as well when he's dealing with overprotective "Christian family values" Americunts.

>>63712336

I can imagine how that would go.

"All they do is talk?"
"What is this show even about anyway?"

What about crayon Shin Chan? Well, way too perverted for soccer moms. But the kids would love it though.

Wait, how about Eve no Jikan?

>>63712405
What? Zoids and Beyblade are over hundreds of episodes, how is that a reasoning?

I watched Cowboy Bebop and Elfen Lied when I was in middle school and my mother didn't give a shit.

>>63712426
Yeah because girls want to see battle scenes all the time right?

What about the new HunterXHunter series.

I watched EVA when I was in middle school. I guess it didn't work out well...

>>63712197
Maybe because this thread isn't just blindly spouting out our favorite anime. It actually promotes some discussion.

That said, Working! maybe? I can't think of anything really wrong with it.

>>63712480
Fuck.
Fuck, that's right.

Disregard my logic, there. Sorry about that.

How about Soukou no Strain? It's pretty much based on a couple of Victorian children's books, so you can't go wrong there.

>>63712397
What is that character from? I've seen it everywhere.
>inb4 boku no piko

How about compiling a list of shows, pulling up some trailers for them, and asking the kids what they want to watch? The average /a/ user is going to be way too disconnected to pick shows for middle schoolers.

I have only watched the first episode but why not ika musume?

>>63712566
chen no bibletoads

Samurai Champloo?

Honey and Clover.

It's good for young people.

Loliball

Death Note all the way!

Or just play them Cardcaptor Sakura, some Studio Ghibli films and maybe a slice of life type one too. Daily Lives is probably about right for the last one.

>>63712583
It get's pretty gay when the girl with short brown hair comes in.

It's fine if it's a bit over 13 episodes. I just said under 13 because the club meeting will be twice a week for 2 hours each meeting. Would like to get through many anime so we can get a little bit of everything because a semester ends.

>>63712583
Yeah. But this case is very extreme: or they will super love it, or they will supermegahate it.

Wait, guys! I got it!

Tiger and Bunny

Boys can enjoy the action, girls can enjoy Barnaby.

Why don't you play it safe and let them watch One Piece, Bleach or Naruto? Or Beelzebub or Sket Dance?

>>63712489
Issue is that in school, parents can make excuses if they find out what they're showing their children. I remember one mother from my highschool class got furious after showing a scene from a macbeth adaptation that happened to have nudity. So long as they're not the one directly showing their children it, parents will bitch.

>>63712653
>enjoying QUALITY

Sure

>>63712625
>slice of life type
Yeah, then it can be anime club and naptime!

>>63712520
Been living under a rock? Girls today are pretty much boys without dicks.

I've noticed that kids tend to like random comedy like Nichijou and Nichibros. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they are bad, but the kids enjoy comedy shows and it is perfect for them.

>>63712640

Nothing wrong with that.

iDOLM@STER and K-On! for the girls.
Naruto and Bleach for the boys.

>>63711282
>K-on!
>Shitty
You can only pick one /a/non

>>63712692
You live in a sad place then.

>>63712566
You're joking right?
Boku no Chen from Touhou, drawn by bkub

>>63712719
>for the girls.
Holy shit. I can't actually believe that someone here is realizing who actually most watch these.

>>63712719
>naruto
they are middle schoolers, not retards.

If subs definitely show Tiger & Bunny it's hella acceptable entry level anime and it's gt action for the boys and it's yaoi bait for the girls. If they don't dig subs use some anime from toonami.

>>63712756
>21 century people
>not retards

I have news for you.

>>63712653
that's... actually a really good choice. There isn't anything in Tiger and Bunny that's too inappropriate. Well, maybe Blue Rose but Hannah Montana is much much worse

>>63712775
Normal girls are not into yaoi.

I got it! Nanoha. The Magical girls part will be good for girls, and the BEAMS part will be good for the boys.

Heroman,though that's 26 episodes.

Boku<spoiler>rano</spoiler>

>>63712807
normal girls aren't in the anime club

Denno Coil
Tower of Druaga
FLCL
Samurai Champloo

That 13 eps limit stops some appropriate series being shown. If it wasn't for that rule I'd go with these three.

Hunter x Hunter
Hikaru no Go
FMA

>>63712842
Got nothing to say.

>>63712807
>Normal girls
It's an anime club, I don't think that'll be a big issue.

>>63712818
IMPLIED GAY!

I'd suggest Heroman, but Joey's just too hot for TV.

>AnoHana
>"Mom, today at the Animay Club we saw one of the boys dress up as a girl. Is it normal for guys to do that?"

Ask them where the group stands when you guys meet, OP.
What they'd like more of, specific genres, if they'd like to bring anything in, etc. etc.

That said, show 'em some Korean Zombie Desk Car. Bitches love Korean Zombies.

Saint Seiya

>>63712754
They're middle schoolers. I doubt the guys would like cute girls doing cute things. Although I don't remember grade school, so I don't know what they're like.

>>63712838
At least they will learn something, not become retarded EVAfags.

Here's a slightly unethical solution: bring up your concerns with the school regarding the difficulty of finding age appropriate anime.

You are a single individual who has to do other things. It should not be your job to go through each show the kids want to watch/discuss and determine if it is too violent/obscene/sexual/deep for them.

Basically: play the "anime is tentacle porn" card.

>>63712869
I watched Korean Zombie Desk Car with my 12 year old sister once. She loved it.

middle school is the perfect age to introduce kids to Gundam

also

Baka and Test
Black Butler
the big three
Boku no Pico

Natsu no Arashi.
Or play it safe and Haruhi.
or if you're a bad enough dude make them watch all of endless eight.

>>63712905
>Black Butler
Oh, God no, the fanbase is already putrid enough.

Hetalia

Tiger and Bunny is a surprisingly alright choice.

When I was in middle school though, Read or Die, Outlaw Star and Big O were already airing, right? Those seem like quite fine shows. Big O's got about as much death as a more serious episode of Batman, I'd say. Gene Starwind might be too much man for those kids to handle, though. Uh...R.O.D. is good, but the president does piss himself in the first OVA.

>>63712905
This, Baka test is perfect, if not for Hideyoshi antics.

OP, were the kids able to suggest anything that might interest them, or was this just dumped on you one day?

What about the Index/Railgun shows? Are they dubbed and short enough?

>>63712691
Shit how did you know I like nap time!

Once you start doing 40+ hour weeks nap time becomes the shit.

>Hey
>Hey, you going to lunch with us?
>Nah, I've got a 3 hour break between shifts,I'm going home for a nap
>Lucky cunt.

Nichijou

>>63712968
>comedy while subtly teaching history
As much as I hate the fanbase, this is viable.

Why not .hack?
I'm pretty sure middle schoolers would like it.

>>63713035
Its boring as fuck though.

>>63713032
The amount of homosexuality that the series pretty much rubs in your face would get him fired.

>>63713035
...Twilight Bracelet or SIGN?
SIGN might bore the fuck out of them.
Just like it did to me.

Madoka is a good one.
Bleach
Naruto
Clannad (1st series even though After Story was better)
The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi
Death Note
Full Metal Alchemist
Ouran High School Host Club
Full Metal Panic Fumoffu
Angel Beats
Princess Mononoke
Sket Dance
Blue Exorcist
Chi's Sweet Home
Hanasaku Iroha
ToraDora
Natsume Yuujinchou

I think that this is enough...

>>63713059
But it's about video games
Middle Schoolers would suck it in anyways

OP gundam is a great choice here

especially G, the fellas will LOVE g gundam. 08th ms team is also good and the girls will probably like G and 08th also for the romance sub plots.

Also GAOGAIGAR for the guys, they love that shit. I love that shit.

>>63713106
Twilight Bracelet
Sign got old after awhile

Solution: you choose the anime. Every time they're going to watch one, a week before you send a paper to the parents, and they have to sign if they confirm it's for them okay to watch the anime. You describe it a little i.e "violence is absent in this anime etc.." that way they can't really sue you.

>>63712970
Tiger and Bunny is also a great choice, especially since it was already meant to appeal to all ages. It has action, drama, and all of that good stuff in it.

>>63710592

Try Minami-ke, cute girls doing cute things.
Its G rated, family/slice of life comedy.

There are 3 seasons each being 13 episodes long.
There isn't really much of an over arching plot, so I guess you could skip episodes if they get bored with it or show them another season if they really like it.

Katanagatari would be viable, if not for the violence part, but the same can be said for anyone who suggested bleach, naruto or anything like that.

Doraemon you faggot.

Or maybe Kochikame.

We don't have middle schoolers where I live. What age range would that be?

>>63712993

They requested stuff like the big 3 which I can't show. They don't really know much about anime outside of cable. They don't even know about /a/.

No Ghost Stories

>>63713248
just google it you retard

>>63713248
early-teens

>>63713248
It's usually grades 6-8 or 6-9.

So whatever ages that is, like 12-14 or something?

Best thing I've read all week.

>Faggots mentioning Naruto multiple times
>a single mention of Trigun.
I am disappointed.

I've been watching LOGH, Natsume Yuujinchou, Gunslinger Girl, NGE, InuxBoku SS, Another, Black Rock Shooter on a school computer for a while now. Since I haven't been punished for watching them, and I KNOW the IT guys are on-watch, I would say those shows are school-approved.
Then again, techbeards...

>>63713263

or know much about manga outside of Barnes and noble

>>63713248

Pretty sure they've heard of /v/ though.

This is pretty much the most scandalous scene I can think of:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsTMe2BVnNE&feature=related

The show is really tame, but genuinely funny.

Just show Daily Lives.

Yakitate Japan
Kyouran Kazoku Nikki
Shugo Chara
Boku no Pico
Mahoraba
Angel Beats
Clannad
Canon
Bible Black
LoGH
Michiko and Hatchin
Boku no Pico

Give them Naruto, One Piece and Bleach.
It'll make them grow up, big and strong.

>>63710592
Naruto. Seriously. Other shonen anime would work too. If they can enjoy other anime besides shonen, then your options are pretty much limitless.
If you can make it 26 episodes, I would recommend something like blue exorcist, tiger and bunny, code geass, guilty crown.
If you can do movies, redline might work. Its short enough too.
If it has to be a 13 episode series, the best choice is probably some comdey like baka to test, nichibros, or FLCL.

Just look through the titles that people gave you OP and just check them out. You got some excellent choices and great advice in this thread minus a few. Now it's up to you what you choose to do.

School Rumble.
Cute female characters for the girls, badass MC for the boys, pie end for everyone.

>>63713280
Didn't occur to me, but others answered.

If it is grade 6-9, then standard shonen should be fine. If it is primarily dominated by boys, show Super Robot shows and Buso Renkin. Girls, show stuff that will keep the boys interested still, like Ouran Highschool Host Club, Ruroni Kenshin. Maybe the occasional Seinen like Tiger & Bunny would be good as well.

>>63713350

Violence and Sexual Innuendo.

In the first few episodes of Naruto there's guys kissing and Naruto using Sexy No Jutsu. Not sure about Bleach, but I guess that's pretty violent and that one girl who has massive cleavage. I love One Piece, but no I'm avoiding the Big 3 because there's just too many episodes for me to download.

Busou Renkin would be easy to digest.

Battle Royale
Akira
Spirited Away (or any Ghibli really)
Any shounen anime
FLCL
Cromartie High School
Pico to Chico

Op in all seriousness,

For the guys:
Pretty much any 90's gundam series except tun A (kids would find the lack of action boring)
Kenshin
Law of ueki
Any of the big 3

For the girls:
Card captor sakura
I cant think of anything else right now

And if its for middle schoolers, gundam seed might be good for both. Theres a ton out there that would be good to show but thats just what comes to the top of my head.

>>63710836

I'd be more concerned about the crossdressing and melodrama from Ano Hana to be honest.

>>63713484
Oh wow, that is fucking bullshit. Why does society pretend kids aren't watching porn when their parents are out?

Try Chihayafuru, for both the boys and girls.

>>63713208
>>63713208
>>63713208

Minami-ki is what Azumanga would be if it were bad.

>>63713484
Are you living in some zealous christian village or something? If thats too violent or sexual then there aren't many choices.

>>63713263
Why cant show? Too much violence? I was digging the gundum suggestions personally but if you cant even show nurutu...

Have you tried asking the kids what they want to watch?

>>63713524
ah yes seed, where the girls will learn to be bitches and whores and the guys will learn to be self righteous assholes. Good suggestion.

>>63713263
>No ghost stories
God, why did I laugh?

No Big3 huh?
I'm also willing to bet that any romantic themes would get you in trouble.
Cute girls doing cute things wouldn't interest the kids.
No excessive violence or convoluted plot, can't be over 13 episodes.

Christ, lemme get back to you on this.

>>63713601
see
>>63713263

Don't show stuff they're likely to have seen on TV. If they voted for an anime club, chances are they've already seen it.
Trigun is good. So is Slayers. Nichijou is good. Maybe try Irresponsible Captain Tylor.
Fruits Basket.
Keep to comedy/action stuff.
At that age, I was already watching stuff like Excel Saga, Hare nochi Guu, and I thought it was the funniest shit I'd ever seen. I saw this stuff at university animu clubs though, so take what you will from that.

Highschool DxD

the hero middle-schoolers deserve

Avatar and MyLifeMe.

Fuck real anime. Just pop in the goddamn dvd.

Big O
It's basically the elevens take on Batman, AND it was co-produced by Cartoon Network

>>63713561
You can even sack any suggestions from this thread. Just tell them that YOU TAKE YOURSELVES VERY SERIOUSLY THERE and make them deal with it and play good shows, or just forget it.

>>63713561

Sort of.

I just don't want to risk anything. Will try to get manager to see if we should use permission slips. Asking for permission slips would raise questions.

Gah... it's okay for kids to sing and dance to suggestive songs in Glee club, but so hard to show anime to kids without getting sued.

>>63713611

this, Wing and G Fighter would be much better for showing middle schoolers although it's worth a shot trying to get away showing the UC storyline[\spoiler]

>>63712603
Fuck no.

Best audience for H&C is college, then they can relate to the character. If you had showed me H&C when I was in middle school I would have hated it.

I watched Martian Sucessor Nadesiko, and GTO when i was in middle school. I also watched the shit that was currently airing on Toonami at that time (DBZ, Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star).

Boys need action or comedy at that age. Girls tend to like more romance and drama.

>>63713682
Maybe OP could manage to slip in Chineese Electirc Batman (DtB), I knew I loved it around that age.

>>63713655

I actually like My Life Me to be ironic.

would totally watch it again if there was a season 2

>>63711642
Not really, girl anime or not they'll probably enjoy episode 3.

Of course after that they'll stop giving a shit again.

>>63712653
>>63712775
>Tiger&Bunny
>wife-beating and people being burned alive
Quite a few episodes might be disturbing for kids

>>63712603
No it's not.

>>63713734
Have you been seriously told no naruto or bleach? or are you just playing safe? I know they are long but as a cutoff for what is acceptable this is pretty fucking bad.

>>63713810
Just skip that one episode. Tell them they have to watch that one at home.

>>63713621

Do you think Kill Be Baby is okay?

Time of Eve might be good, I don't know if middle school children would enjoy it though.

>>63710592
Ow c'mon those two are just okay also i don't see problem in showing then >>63711176
Star Driver for fabulous purpose
PenguinDrum for apple math
>>63712143
Steins;Gate maybe (depends on which year of middle school we are talking about)
this >>63713107
(i don't realy know what to recomend since you have to abide by the place rules but if yu can show then show that have some moral message or something i think is good enought like rurouni kenshin)

>>63713810
Wife-beating was only in the second half and if I am not mistaken, only one person was burned alive on screen during the first half.

Like what others have said, at that age boys will watch shows with action. Gundam wing and g would be good.

In all seriousness, it's a tough position to be put in where you can't even show the big 3. Can you get permission slips or something? It seems a little ridiculous.

The only thing I can think of is like:
Usagi Drop
Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu
Eve no Jikan
Daily Lives of High School Boys (? I forget if it's got sexual jokes in there)

and that list was pretty hard to create from stuff I find interesting. It might not even be to their tastes (in fact, I suspect it isn't)

If you can get permission slips or can show ROMANCE (note: cute romance not sexual innuendo or graphic scenes) or SOME violence (not completely graphic) you can try these out:
Bakuman
Darker Than Black
Kamisama no Memo-chou (I don't think people die in this, though I don't really remember honestly)
Lovely Complex
Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi
Toradora!

some of these are pretty ambiguous, sorry about that, but the first list SHOULD be good no matter what.

persona 4 anime.

>>63713858
are you allowed to show subs?

>>63713858
>Kill me Baby
>obscure comedy about assassins
I don't think they'd appreciate it.

>>63711921
>>63711853
What? I bathed with my much-older brother for a long time. I don't see why a parent would be any different.

How about some comedy like Seto no Hanayome.

What about Tiger and Bunny?

I suggest School Rumble, just because I saw a thread right now.
It should be pretty good for middle schoolers.

Why the fuck do you even open an anime club? The fuck is wrong with you? I'm mad over this fact, but no sage since it's more /a/ related then other threads. Keep on posting.

Show them Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Hidamari Sketch.

>>63713968
Im pretty sure hes a library employee and the library is opening a club he has to supervise

>>63713734
>Asking for permission slips would raise questions.
And? Just tell them its basically literature, and they wouldn't deny reading greec literature or the Bible because of violence or sexual themes.

>>63713968

I don't see a problem here

Night Shift Nurses.

Get something with dubs, I'm serious.

How about Rozen Maiden?
The violence is targeted towards dolls so that's ok.

>>63713650
>Excel Saga
>HareGuu
I want to have your babies.

On another note, take into account that this is 2012 with a retard generation.
They would probably be bored of older Gundam because it looks old.

>>63713925

Yeah. I mostly have subs right now. Don't have a dub to show yet.

>>63713777
>(DtB), I knew I loved it around that age.
>It premiered across Japan from April 5, 2007 on MBS, TBS, and its affiliated broadcast stations, with its satellite television premiere in Japan on Animax in May 2007.

You now realize middleschoolers from 07/08 are now allowed on 4chan.

>>63713734

Honestly, permission slips are a must. You don't know what content people find objectionable, the shows you THINK you can show them might be on somebodies radar as offensive. Get slips, liability man. State it's for liability reasons and state what you'll be willing to show.

>>63714037
oh well ok, I wonder how middle schoolers will respond to reading tv.

>>63714014
>Middle schoolers
>lo-

Fuck, not this again.

>>63713921
>Darker Than Black
That shit's violent.

Some guy mentioned Kaiji. I think that's actually a very good idea.

Evangelion.

>>63713858
I dunno, the show itself is harmless enough, but any boys who've made up their mind on what's masculine and what isn't probably wouldn't enjoy the show.

God, I've only seen a few episodes so I really couldn't say.

>>63714095
Lolita was 12.

>>63714041
Who said I was in middleschool when I seen DtB?
I could have been graduating highschool in 2007, or I could be that age right now.
I'm not underage; relax. Take it easy.

>>63714063

this

>>63714063

I don't see how you think you would get sued FOR handing out permission slips unless you've showed them some objectionable material already. Permission slips protect you from liability, they don't introduce you to it. It will also allow you to show awesome shows. Don't be a dick.

play gurren laggan
bring actual drills

>>63714137
Kaji cuts off his own ear with a goddamn glass-shard.

>>63714037
In that case I guess... Try to get the whole class to perform the ED dance in rythm and put up on youtube.

>>63714162
I never meant to attack you.
I just saw the
>around that age
and then realized people who were 13 in 2007 can now browse 4chan. It makes me feel so old.

I second Fruits Basket being a good safe entry-level show for middle school that won't get the parents on your case. Azumanga is also good fun.

If you want an action show then, try Sengoku Basara possibly? That show has a lot of over the top action/comedy that should go over well with middle schoolers.

Boku No Pico.

>>63714183
Is this already considered too much violence? OP wanted to show Madoka after all.

Madoka
>no gruesome acts of violence in it themes may be a little hard, but you have to give the kids some type of credit
Tiger & Bunny
>even for some of the violence it's not anywhere near graphic if you are a little weary about Yuri's episode, then just omit it

Card Captor Sakura
>great choice

Chi's Sweet Home
>just about a kitten who finds a new home

Just remember not to show them anything too old. They'll know and not like it.

>>63714272
Well, some bad news, I had already begun my obligatory 6-month lurking period for newcomers at 15, a couple weeks after DtB started airing.

Also, stop being such a faggot and just make them give permission slips. It's an extracurricular activity anyway, and parents will always find something to complain about unless you can wave a contract in their face.

Damn, I have no idea what I was watching at 13

>>63714476
>Madoka
>no gruesome acts of violence
Sorry for picking on it by reading the first sentence, but what about Mami getting eaten, Sayaka and Elsa Maria, Mami shooting at the others in ep 10 and probably a lot more violent scenes?

Show them Another, and have meetings at 9 PM with lights off and only candles.

For boys, action and explosions, preferably with giant robots. Gurren lagann and g gundam would be perfect. For girls, some light hearted romance or drama would probobly be best.

But like the other anon said, get permission slips that specifically state what you will be showing so the parents can look it up themselves, even though most will just blindly sign it. And who knows, maybe no one will sign it and youll get out of this responsibility.

But most importantly, ASK THE DAMN KIDS AND NOT AN ANONYMOUS IMAGE BOARD WHAT OR WHAT KINDS OF SHOWS THEY WANT TO WATCH. Some of them probobly have stuff to share, just do a quick look up of it before showing it.

>>63714636

>Yumekui Merry
Ending was meh. Aside from some violence during the daydream sequences, nothing to avoid.
>Working!!
Nothing too bad here.

>>63714613


Mami getting eaten isn't even bloody and they don't really show it.

>>63714762
The only one that is out of the question is Ichigo Mashimaro, which I threw in for fun. The rest are easily safe, especially if you got permission for big-3 level violence/sexual themes. They might not get bartender or Cromartie though.

I think Bakuman could be worth a try!
while DtB can be a bit too slow from time to time (could get boring untill the action kicks in)... and might be too brutal...

The Tatami Galaxy.

>>63714861
So what, it was still a young girl getting eaten by a worm monster, kids would have nightmares for a while.

We're talking about the original, right? If so, I suggest the trilogy movies, just so it's not as long as the series and you can move through it faster. Also I hear there's less derpy animation.

Why not show some random series? Animes are for children after all.

>>63715016
I think most people mean g or wing. The originals animation would probobly be a turnoff for most kids. X might be good too.

A middle schooler is not going to watch subs, and they won't be able to appreciate something like Madoka. Derp.

>>63715016
Jesus Christ I just read someone suggested SEED in this thread. They might like it, but you're obligated to at least try the good stuff before shoving SamEfacED faggots on them.

>>63715115
0/10, try harder

>>63714937
>Mumi, people getting shot, and scary imagery
I can't believe people are going on about this girl getting her head eaten. They don't even show it. It's not graphic.

>Parents will complain about the pedophilia and homosexuality
No they won't.

>>63714814
He's dealing with middle schoolers, not fucking kindergarteners. OP is being overly paranoid when all he needs to do is get parents' permission ahead of time. Every extracurricular basically has some sort of release/consent form anyway, otherwise parents could sue the school every time a kid breaks a bone playing Football.

What about Card Captors was pedorific and gay?

Is the original really that different from what was shown on US TV?

Kino's Journey, Most any Ghibli Film, Some gundam series..

Chiyahafuru is really good, clean, and current.

>>63715116
Which is why I say test the waters with the movies. If they can handle it, then great! If not, move on to older series.

The only non-UC series I'd suggest would be G,X, and maybe Wing.

>>63715179
>I can't believe people are going on about this girl getting her head eaten. They don't even show it. It's not graphic.

They try their best to make their babby show seem "mature."

>>63715239
>Chiyahafuru is really good, clean, and current.
Or Hikaru no Go, as some guy suggested.

>>63715242
*Move on to newer modern anime

Derp de derp derp

>>63715146
Im actually the one who suggested that, after suggesting other gundams. Hey, middle schoolers would enjoy it. I didnt say that I liked it. And I meant to suggest it for the girls and boys together.

GO WITH THE TOONAMI LINEUP

BLUE SUB #6
ASTROBOY
GIGANTOR

>>63715235
>Is the original really that different from what was shown on US TV?

This is a joke right?

>>63714879
This.

Bakuman is enjoyable as fuck, it will appeal to them as in at that age kids who are into anime usually like drawing and it gives them an insight into what its like to draw a manga. It also has some romance of sorts but its really tame.

>>63713650
I don't think kids in middle school would get a lot of the spoofs in Excel Saga. Granted it's still pretty funny by itself.

>>63715351
Last resort, only

Also, I think more people should be concerned with the length of the series. It's an after school group, and we don't really know how long they can stay (An hour? Two?)

>>63715294
They could get confused with all the different karuta rules though...
That being said it would be really good to show some other aspect of Japanese culture that isn't animu or mango.
Plus it's pretty looking.
I don't think the boys would be as interested in it either.

>>63715351
Violence is an issue and Seed has a few "graphic" scenes of people dying. Also has a sex scene i believe.

>>63715478
>>63715294
>Chihayafuru
I know you're trying to play it safe, but don't make it so boring they all quit the club

Prince of Tennis

>>63715546
Oh god that's right

It wasn't just normal "Get a cut; bleed a million gallons" either, but actual people getting microwaved to oblivion.

>>63715437
An anime episode at most lasts 24minutes. In an hour you can get about 3 episodes in. Shorter series are better though since they could watch the whole series in about 4 - 5 days of watching 3 episodes per day.]

As for the people saying Ano Hana, FUCK NO. Maybe the girls might like it but I doubt the boys will. Also I don't think its a good idea to show them something that will probably make them cry.

>>63715595
Yeah this. I love Chihaya, but for American kids that age? Hell naw.

This thread reminds me why I hate children.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned this.

Pokemon and Digimon

>>63715774

>community of pedophiles

>>63715647
Plus the 15 y/old pilot getting killed by Kira. Then the other faggot on the plane. Worse of all is Natarle getting all shot up at the end.

>>63715774
Yeah.
But, finding a series under 13 episodes that would entertain a children of both sexes without violence or sexual refferences provide a sort of challenge head-strong, egotistical elitists like /a/ can't help but want to conquer.

>>63715842
2D children =/= 3D brats

>>63711433
This.

I played Spirited Away for a class of 6th graders, and many of them told me it was the greatest thing that they've ever watched.

As much as I hate to recommend dubbed animu to anyone, Miyazaki's films are really good for all age groups.

>>63715836
Digimon, yes. But only with sub, since the American version has retarded music.
Pokemon is always the same crap.

>>63715909
No kid will want to watch subtitles you autistic fucking retard.

sgt. frog

>>63716006
I know, I just wanted to remind you that your americanized version is shit and shouldn't be shown to the kids. No need to be that butthurt, though, since it's the cruel reality.

>>63716006
I will have to agree with this. I remember I had a group of about 4 friends and we would gather to watch anime and if the series had a dub they would ALL vote for the dub instead of the sub.

Well, I think that if they're 13 they will enjoy the fuck out of Naruto, Death Note and Elfen Lied. I don't really think the parents will concern, I mean they're not 6.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, dubbed anime would be the preference. I don't mind subs.

I'm playing some subs on a wide screen TV right now as a test. The subs would be kind of small.

I'm going to hate myself forever for recommending this... but the fate/stay night anime might be a good choice. It cut all the 18+ content from the eroge, its a bit bloody but not that bad, and it could have some appeal for both the girls and boys. It also could, later on when they're older, get them involved in the other type moon stuff.

Baccano

>>63712076
I'm okay with this.

Noein~

>>63716608
That's not so bad actually and the dub is passable since OP said prefer dubs for this.

>>63716389
I'm assuming that you're using a computer. You should be able to adjust the size of the subtitles.

Someone mentioned asking the kids. Ask them about things that are not airing on tv though. You could get a decent list of series from there. You could also ask them what are their favorite series and then according to what they said, pick something similar for them to watch (chances are that they will say Naruto).

>>63712735

Haibane Renmei. Probably not enough action to work by itself, but showing it with something else would work. The religious symbolism is purely stylistic and should be fine unless you're in southern America or something.

Nanoha. The fanservice isn't really noticeable unless you know what to expect, and it has mahou shoujo for the girls and lasers for the boys. Makes a good jumping-off point for other shows in the genre.

Last Exile. Strong characters, nothing objectionable in the content that I can remember.

Ika Musume. Might work if they can handle the Sanagay. There's worse in normal western children's cartoons for that age, right?

Read or Die. Again, strong characters and action/SoL mix to suit all tastes with mostly ignorable fanservice. And reading is FUNdamental! Nancy's reference to pornography in the OVAs might be an issue?

Hyakko. One of the more "stuff actually happens" CGDCT anime, almost like a Western cartoon, so that might work.

And depending on how harsh the "no violence" thing works out as (seriously, there's way worse on normal TB), any number of action-y anime like Geass, DtB, or one of the girls-with-guns trilogy.

And on this note, what about Hayate no Gotoku? It's for the right age group, at least in Japan.

Have you forgotten how many references there are that would just breeze past their heads?

Not like that would be any less true for Japanese audiences. Half of the shit it references would have been way before the time of its purported target audience.

all 4 yokohama cafe ovas. can't go wrong, and your kids will leave with superior art appreciation and "class".
