It most certainly is! Maybe not <i>little</i> children, but have you seen the marketing on that thing? The main character is 14, but it will easily pick up the whole 8-to-16 set with that, especially if some 13-year-old watching it in middle school has a little sister who looks up to her and they watch shows together.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=qTeM68aOpMM&amp;t=30" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=qTeM68aOpMM&amp;t=30</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=6CTHwEZK2JA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=6CTHwEZK2JA</a><p>Or the Madoka-inspired Yuki Yuna Is a Hero, which doubles down on the happy fun times (investing a full five episodes instead of Madoka&#x27;s two-and-a-half):

Everybody wins.
