Review Details:

Violence:
As a space western, you could arguably classify this title as a gunslinger title, so you're going to have a decent bit of violence. It's not typically over-done, but it is there and there's a good bit of it.

Nudity:
Most nudity in the series is blurred, with one very brief (less that 1 second) exception. There are also a few scenes involving homosexual relationships, but these are not central to the plot.

Potentially Problematic Theology:
One of the main characters is a martial arts expert, so there's a bit of eastern religion in his dialogue. There is also an episode that revolves around a cult. While this might be inappropriate for some younger viewers, I would hope parents would note the age rating on this title is 17.

Other Negative Themes:
Cowboy Bebop is pretty much a film noir title. As such, the series may get a little dark from time to time. From a DAT perspective, one of the main characters is a chain smoker. There is also a bit of drug use and drinking.

Other notes:
CB has some great music, if you're into jazz.
