User Reviews
11/03/2012: J.D3 [ Already Rated ]

Violence / Gore Details (3/10): Sword-fighting and other weapons are a big part of the series, so there is violence, but largely low-level.

Nudity / Sexual Content (3/10): There are two instances throughout the series where we briefly see fanservice-y close ups of a female character's chest, plus this same character's attire could be considered to be a little on the skimpy side.
An older male character is seen to have strong affections for a much younger female character, though this remains completely platonic throughout the series.

Theological Themes Details (4/10): A number of characters are referred to as sorcerers and/or possess magical powers and are seen to recite incantations at various times.

Spoiler: The series occasionally features members from a group of beings called the 'Evil Ones' to which the creatures, Gyoro and Ururun, apparently belong to. It is never exactly clear what these beings are, though they sometimes have the term 'demon' applied in relation to them.

Other Potentially Problematic Details (2/10): Some mild to moderate course language.
