Though the shows tend not to be as mature you are still opening yourself up to some trouble. Probably best to stay away. There are better series IMHO than Clannad.

Rurouni Kenshin is really not that violent. There are a lot of sword fights but none of them would go beyond a TV-PG rating to me. If I remember correctly there was some blood in some episodes but it is really not that heavy. The DVD series should be fine if your older than 13/14 but you may want to view the trailer here (it is from Cartoon Network which means there were probably edits but that will still give you a good idea of what to expect throughout the series.):

Amu Hinamori is a 5th grade transfer student who is fashionably cool, tough and independent. Despite this, she is also a girl who seems unapproachable, both at home and at school. In reality, the "Cool and Spicy" role she plays is just a facade that she unconsciously plays. In fact, like most other girls, Amu is childish, timid and romantic. Desperate to behave the way she really feels, she goes to bed one night praying for a miracle to happen. Much to her surprise, she wakes up the following morning to find three decorated eggs on her. From that morning on, Amu is shocked to find herself starting to behave the way she really feels. When each egg hatches, a little Guardian Character emerges to help Amu express her different selves.

I can't really tell you much about most of those animes, but I think I can tell about Shugo Chara.
First here's a dicription of it from crunchyroll.com:
It's a pretty clean show and it's very cute. Kinda like Salior Moon but unique in it's own way.
One thing I might mention is that in some of the first episodes (and in some of the later ones) there is a fortune teller character and some references to astrology (or something like that). Other than that, I think it's still pretty clean. It's the first show in the Magical girl genre that I ever watched and I really enjoyed it. I hope that was helpful.

Ah! My Goddess: From what you say, it seems perfectly fine, but since I like slice of life type shows, I'll watch the both season of the tv show, and probably watch the ova's after, just for fun. ]
If you plan on watching all, I'd go with the OVA first, then the series, then the movie, then Ah! Mini Goddesses.Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles: Hmm, it really depends on what kind of black magic and fortune telling you're talking about.
Are any of the characters witches? Or calling on the powers of, 'you know who'?
I don't mind mystical things, as long as it doesn't get super weird or anything, like saying a lot of long spells or any evil spells.
There IS a witch and fortune telling and other magicks are made using what definitely seems like occult rites. Obviously this is only for flavour as said magicks are not supposed to be inherently evil. Watch the first episode, which I'm sure can be found streaming somewhere. It displays pretty much all the recurrent themes of the series.Card Captor Sakura: It sounds really cute, the main reason I didn't ask about it was because I had heard about it having some kind of homosexuality in it.
It is super obvious, or is it more like admiration?
(Black magic, and homosexuality are my biggest thing to deal with in anime, since it bothers me and my siblings quite a bit, plus my parents would not want us watching anything that has a lot of that in it.)
