Zeldafan2's Review
Violence: The violence is all comical, slapstick beat downs on one of the main characters, and no one is ever seriously hurt. The most "violent" thing that occurs (or, more like implied) Spoiler: is when we discover a main character's parents both died in a plane crash. This is not shown, however.

Nudity/Sexual Content: Mostly rather tame innuendoes, pranks pulled by Tomoya occasionially suggest a character is gay, but this is always proved to be false. In one episode, two characters are accedentially locked in a storage closet and while sex is implied, it never happens. However, Spoiler: In episode 23, an extra episode that isn't important to the story, there is a scene where Tomoya misinterperts a girl who's talking to him's diolague to mean she's actually in love with her brother. Again, this is proven to be false, but taking an issue like this as a joke is definitely inappropriate, hence why I gave this series a 4 in this category.

Potentially problematic theological themes: Spoiler: One character is actually an astral projection of a girl who is currently in a coma. While similar to the concept of a ghost, the girl's main purpose is to invite people to her older sister's wedding which is honestly a sweet concept. In addition, there are some usages of tarot cards, fortunes told, and once or twice spells cast, although this is not significant to the plot.
I only gave this a 4 because Spoiler: of the previously mentioned incest comment.

Other potentially problematic themes: Nagisa's father is almost constantly smoking, and Tomoya's father spends most of his life drinking and gambling. Minor swearing usually infrequent, but occasionially used more often. a**, da**, h***, pi** (and its variant), and ba***** (which is used once) all appear somewhere in the dialog.

Overall, this series is appropriate for ages 13 and up with the exception of the content listed above.
