Yeah, I reckon 4,5 is a little bit young. 7 or so would probably be ideal.
Eh. Honestly, I think as soon as they're old enough to understand the difference between TV and reality, they're old enough to watch.

Still, to each their own.

As for the post itself, quick side-note: It's "Jackie Chun", actually.
A fun read, though. :)
I knew about the spelling after posting but got busy and forgot to fix it. It would be interesting to see how she reacts when she is older. She would surely like other things. She really seems to like Goku as a character more and more though. She likes that innocent, playful Goku that he is in the start.

I notice that a lot of her reactions have to do with the "naughty" stuff in the series, which is of course to be expected at that age, lol. Anything provocative is funny.

It will be interesting to hear what her reactions will be when she gets to the actually dramatic and exciting stuff. I wonder how much a child of her gender is into fighting? I know for sure than a boy would love the parts when strong characters beat the snot out of each other.

Dont be like that. Girls like action too!

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

Well... She got really scared during parts of the pilaf arc. And during the tournament, she got really sad when she thought Goku died and called Chun for stupid.

Sure, but just going by both my own childhood experiences and my experience with kids now as an adult, girls in general just dont place action, especially fighting, on the same level of importance as boys. Just look at the way they play with toys. Give two toys to a boy and, providing that the toys look even remotely like something that could put up a fight, he is probabaly going to have them fight each other. Most girls on the other hand will probably imagine some other scenario, like with the toys interacting as friends or maybe going on some adventure, but it's not very likely that she is going to make them duke it out.

I'm not being stereotypical here, I'm just telling it how it GENERALLY is, even though there are of course countless exceptions.

The main thing I'm taking away from this thread is that you're not sure how old your daughter is. :think:

These reactions are adorable. She seems to be on the exact right wavelength to enjoy & engage with DB: wee-wees are funny and fighting is exciting.
New to the forum? Just want to know when you'll hit your next posting rank? Ever wondered why some users have special titles, and what they mean? The answers to all these questions and more are waiting for you in the Kanzenshuu Member Hierarchy Guide!!

Haha, she'll be 4,5 on the 17th of April. She's very close to 4,5. And we haven't watched all these episodes in one day either! She's gradually becoming closer to 4,5! It's really a shame we can't edit these replies...

In most of Europe, commas and full-stops have reversed meanings when you're dealing in numbers, so ten thousand is 10.000, and four and a half is 4,5.
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

Summer is here so not watching so much, but we're into the cave drama stuff with General Blue now. And I gotta admit... I have not been good at noting her reactions lately but will be better at it! Anyone else watching Db with kids?

When I was 6, I knew not to say certain bad words in public and around other people. I remember I got in trouble when I was 4 for saying damn and was told not to say it never again.
