Violence / Gore: Since this is a story about several different clans fighting each other, expect violence, wars, and death among them. There is some blood, and one traumatic gun shot scene is referenced over and over again.

Nudity / Sexual Content: The only time that this is an issue is when this cat that transforms into a girl decides to transform. When she gains a human body, it is always unclothed, and she can unfortunately be seen running around naked for several minutes before clothes are put on her. Also, this "transformation" happens not once or twice - but several times.

Potentially problematic theological themes: All the clans have magical powers which they fight with.

Other potentially problematic themes: This show can be somewhat dark as it watches the demise of certain clans, the shattering of friendships, the wandering of a criminal, the loss of memories, and more. It does have some swearing and bar scenes. There is some smoking.

FINAL VERDICT: To be honest, I had a hard time getting past the first few episodes. It has the slow start that Steins;Gate has and likewise picks up to speed as the series progresses. In fact, I was shocked by how much I liked the series in the end and by how the series was able to wrap everything up so neatly. Thus, my number one tip for anyone watching the series is to not give up in the first 1-3 episodes since the rest of them are incredible. Also, if you care for character development, don't be too surprised if you find that there isn't much of it here. Only certain characters get this special treatment (obviously, the ones that are most important to the story).
