I remember thinking that I'd love to show Princess Arete to any children I might one day have, but I'm afraid the movie is still only available on fansub.
Sailor Moon? If she liked CCS then she might dig another magical girl show.
ICK! I can't believe that I ever liked that show. I wouldn't recommend it at all.
I must say, as a guy, I cannot think for a moment anything a girl might like, especially one so young. But I can say this: if she liked Cardcaptor Sakura, perhaps something else related to CLAMP might work. But, as someone who hates their work, I can't tell if they would be any good or appropriate.
The only other CLAMP work I can think of that's definitely good for young kids is CLAMP School Detectives. That's a very cute and funny show. Magic Knight Rayearth might also be good; maybe it's not directly targeted at very young kids, but I think a girl her age would still enjoy it.
As a nine-year-old, I absolutely loved it. I watched it with my brother, who was just under seven at the time, and who also loved it. ^_^
A-ko has some mild nudity, somewhat comedic violence, and crude humor that I wouldn't recommend for all kids. I err on the side of uptight prudish parents who could cause backlash. (This is not a backhanded comment, I swear). I'm also going to call into play the fact that my career involves the wee-ones, and more often than not the sight of a boobie is going to cause some freakin' out.
Slayers is great, but parts of it can be a bit dramatic and maybe scary for a nine year old. Like when Lina's bleeding really badly in first season, or when the big bad is tormenting Our Heroes in second season, or the genocide in third season.
When our kid is old enough to watch Slayers, he/she will have to watch it with their Daddy, because I can't stand more than two episodes of that tripe. Mr. MacRoss bought all of Slayers at the last Otakon and got me all excited to see it... and each second that passed while I watched the first few episodes dropped my IQ by at least one point each. Seriously, I am now just a high-functioning mental defective. This show is great for a hyper-active kid that hasn't developed taste yet, but for me it was like stabbing myself in the eye, filling it with draino, and setting it on fire.

Did you at least get to see the fish man? You can't judge slayers until you get to see fish men.

What I love most about the fishmen are the english dub voices. It is beyond nerdy which makes it awesome. Too bad what happens to them after one of them tries to kiss Lina or something along those lines. Fireball + fish man = fried fish. XD

xXxHolic and Tsubasa might be a bit too deep and confusing.
Of course, you could always try this. But you have to pay for the therapy.
