One example: The father says, "I know you missed your dear old dad," as he rips his shirt off.Īnother example: The dad asks his daughters to play truth or dare. His sisters refuse his advances, but it's just not cool. It's written in a way that makes you want to keep watching, but sexualizing the relationship between the main character's sisters and his dad is creepy. Kids are really into these characters and their avatars in video games. I wish I could write the producers in protest or start some political movement preventing such references in anime. However, there are some subtle references to molestation that are treated as jokes. There are some themes of teamwork as well. The preserverance of the main character is admirable. But as always, it comes down to how mature your child is and how they handle subjects like this. Thus, the anime is fine for kids 10 and older, the manga more for ages sixteen and up, even if the age rating is technically T (13+). So, the anime is fine for adolescents but if they are interested in reading the manga, I would suggest caution and knowing your child, specifically for the later arcs, starting with the Arrancar arc (starts at volume 22), which contain imagery that could be disturbing to younger children along with much more graphic depictions of violence, including dismemberment and mutilation. Even Orihime, who is used as your standard damsel in distress, fights and shows her strength.įinally, the anime has been toned down significantly from the original manga in terms of violence and other elements. While talking about the female characters, many of them are strong with convictions of their own and are fantastic role models for young women, namely Rukia Kuchiki. There are several large-breasted protagonists but again, there are all clothed and nudity is not an issue. Some characters, namely Nel in her transformation and Halibel have revealing outfits, but full-blown is never shown. The most consistent "swear" words are "dammit" and "hell", which are tame and can be missed because of the battles. While there is some harsh language, it never exceeds bitch and that is only used twice in the entire length of the show. Hidden in all the action are some really good messages and role models for children to learn, such as standing up for what you think is right and asking for help when you need it.

The main character would rather not fight, but will if it means protecting his loved ones and there are many other characters throughout the series that hold similar convictions. While fighting is one of the major points of the series, as it is a shonen one, it is not glorified. This anime is perfectly fine for adolescents. This is more serious than some people realize. That can harm viewers' perspectives of people, and begin a hunger for sexual things that can lead to pornography addiction. The part that bothered me the most was all the sexual material. If you really want to watch this, maybe try the censored versions, if you can find them. Yes, there is blood spilt in battles when characters drive their sword through their opponents. There are curse words like the long b word and the d word frequently used.ĥ. One male character demonstrates a perverted lust for women throughout the series.Ĥ. There are other female characters that come up during different story arcs who are immodest in appearance as well.ģ. Two women in particular are shown throughout the series at different times to be either always clothed with lots of cleavage exposed, or even naked with all private areas of the body hidden or covered. One girl in particular seems to be the focus of these comments throughout the series.Ģ. There are very inappropriate remarks/comments/conversations and attention made concerning breasts.

I finally got the strength to stop watching the series, and here's why:ġ. The storyline was excellent and gripping! It was hard to let go of it. I've watched the first 120 uncensored episodes.
