It's safer letting kids have unrestricted access to anime than western cartoons
Sure there will be some gore, violence and fan service but at least it isn't trying to indoctrinate you kids to reject nature to mutilate and be ideological drones the rest of their lives
(Note joking only about anime part, parents do your jobs and supervise the media your kids consume)
Nuances that nevertheless take a knee to the indecency of the uncurated net, which has more pull than any canon. Modern anime is rife with this indecency and acts like grease to an already slippery slope, and is a shared imaginitive landscape with the exact coomers we condemn.
With the shrinking portals of traditional masculinity, I think neither western cartoons nor anime after a certain era are preferable.
"NO DAD THIS ISN'T A GIRL'S WIG, ASTOLFO IS TOTALLY BASED AND REDPILLED COME ON!"
Kids will of course nevertheless find this shit and other questionable things, but a thick callous of masculine identity needs to be solidified early on to curb the influence. If my kid found a hyper-feminized modern anime and tried to pitch it to me I would deny knowing what it is and give him my best "what the fuck are you watching" face of disappointment and discouragement - the kind when you'd watch pokemon on a saturday morning and Ash and the cast start talking about their pokelove as your father walks by with the kind of grimmace that would make any kid turn red with embarassment and frantically change the channel.
I'd also occasionally "borrow the computer", not even to pry but just to stir that very same anxiety.

Do that and next thing you know your kid has an Astolfo avatar and a Discord account.
Even Astolfo recognises there's only two genders, not his fault he can get more men to question their straightness because women are lacking lol
