DBZ is where the ridiculous shit happens. Like Goku and Piccollo trying to get their drivers licenses. I love that crazy shit.
Actually, I'd say that unlike DBZ, that's what the original Dragon Ball is all about. Just now I saw an episode where Goku went to the city alone and had to find Bulma's house ("A Trip to the City"), which was quite amusing, especially when some people tried to rob him.
Ouran High School Host Club is on Netflix Streaming now. The dub is decent. I recognize a lot of the voices and names. I will probably get the series to check out Maaya Sakamoto as Haruhi.
I really like the dub. Vic Mignogna is always a treat to hear in a show, and contrary to what I've heard from some people, he pulls off the flamboyant voice very well.
I watched this when it first came out. It was entertaining for a little while then it just seemed to go no where. Stopped watching after 15 or so eps and never returned.
Soul Eater anyone? I really like what I've seen so far but then again I haven't watched much (about 5 episodes, I can't remember). I really do like the theme song though.
Edit: Also, I saw the Gurren Lagann movie that pretty much summarizes the whole first half of the series (maybe?). Bad idea... Though I really liked it, there was a lot of stuff missing and I feel that I would have been better off just watching the show... especially because it's in the Netflix Instant, at least the last time I checked it was.
Just finished Princess Tutu. Holy crap, yes. I'm glad I bought the whole thing. That was a kickass series.
Also, I'm back to watching Ookami-san (aka Toradora 2). On a pure entertainment level, I have fun watching it, just like I did with HSotD... only without y'know, the zombies. What can I say, it turns out I'm a huge sucker for fairy tale motifs!
You're right; this is not porn. I would show this to children. On the other hand, I would not begrudge a parent for not exposing a little girl to this.
NUDITY DOES NOT EQUAL PORN. Stop being so fucking shy about the human body, it's fucking awesome! Jesus. You're fine when Schwarzenegger sprays bullets across the screen and murders dozens upon dozens of people in cold blood, but you panic the moment drawn flesh crosses the screen.
Seriously, the human body is awesome. Biology bitches, makes you horny!
Basically this. Don't be so fucking uptight; if you lived in Spain, boobs on every beach would be par for the course, and your daughter would just grow up with them as a fact of life. The Venus de Milo has exposed boobs too, and that is a masterpiece of modern art. I am a-okay with boobs all the time.
However, from Dave and Joel's commentary, Queen's Blade sounds like it should be shipped with a hot iron with which to blind yourself. Not necessarily because of the titties, but because it's Queen's Blade.

I'm not a prude but naked boobs don't appear in kid cartoons over here. Same with bloody violence. Most kids see is swords clashing and some bruises that look like dirt.
I personally think that, given your objections, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt will be a better fit for your daughter. It's sorta like the Powerpuff Girls:

Here's a question for you, what made you think this was a good show for your daughter?
I didn't think it was. I pre-watch a lot of anime for her to see if it will be suitable for her (she's 11), same with manga. I'm not bothered by the show, I'm simply surprised that nudity is considered TV14.
On a somewhat related note I watched part of a Striparella ep and was surprised to see the nudity in that to be blured out even though it carried a rating of NR. I didn't watch much because it was bad and not in a good way.

The first fight involved a character who shot acid out of her nipples! Another character used a live snake as her panties! So not TV14...
