proper age to watch anime
Shohei-kun:
I started watching anime seriously December of 2011. First one I watched was Clannad and I watched a bunch of (what I now consider REALLY bad) slice-of-life shows. I also watched Hayate no Gotoku really early which I regret to this day. I have recently rewatched it and was really excited to see all of the references I missed.
megido-rev.M:
Yeah, I doubt many kids would understand a lot of those references.

Well mine woulda been Ghost in a shell way back in 1996. I blame all the jap backpackers that we had working for us at the time. It's all their fault for showing me this awesome stuff.

Pretty much when Pokémon, YuGiOh, Digimon, and Sailor Moon where dubbed on tv in U.S. Thinking back, I am glad that I watched all of them. good times.

No doubt. When I look at those shows nowadays I realize how bad they are, but the time they aired on Toonami is a very nostalgic part of my life that wouldn't want to live without. I came home every day from school and watched DBZ and YuGiOh.
So if there is a correct answer for the OP, the best time for a non-Japanese child to watch anime would be when he or she can start understanding and appreciating these introductory shows as more than "cartoons".
