What's in it, topic by topic

Sexual & romantic

NudityMild
Common Sense says the Daemons Left and Right 'show some skin' in a non-sexualized way; sex/nudity content rated 'a little'.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org
Sexual contentNone
Several guides say sexual content is minimal to none and sexual themes are not part of the plot.
Sources: ageratingjuju.com, commonsensemedia.org
Sexualised imageryNone
Common Sense says the skin shown is not sexualized; Screenwise says the show lacks constant fanservice.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org, screenwiseapp.com
Kissing & romanceMild
No kissing or romance arc; Asa's devotion to her brother is played for laughs, and the parents' love story is the main romance.
Sources: senpaivibes.com, theouterhaven.net

Language & behaviour

ProfanityModerate
Common Sense lists mild words (damn, hell, ass, bastard); Cineparenting reports regular stronger language but hasn't screened the show.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org, cineparenting.com, ageratingjuju.com
Vulgarity & crude humourNone
No toilet humour or rude gestures mentioned; the running joke is about loanwords and is not crude.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org, tvtropes.org
Verbal abuse & bullyingMild
Villains in particular make threats of physical harm; no sustained verbal abuse is described.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org
Discrimination & hateMild
Daemons are mistreated and the heroes disapprove; no hate speech. The twins are mistreated by their village, which is not group-based bigotry.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org, tvtropes.org
Disrespectful behaviour & role modelsMild
Positive role models; one irresponsible character gambles on horse racing and loses big. Heroes oppose Daemon mistreatment.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org, us.oricon-group.com
Dangerous imitable actsMild
No guide flags copyable stunts; combat is supernatural and weapon-based fantasy, with realistic gore but not stunts to imitate.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org, screenwiseapp.com

Violence & intensity

Violence & goreSevere
Graphic, frequent violence: dismemberment, decapitation, blood spray, and attacks on unarmed civilians.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org, storyscanner.app, animenewsnetwork.com, screenwiseapp.com
Frightening & intense scenesSevere
Common Sense rates scariness 'a lot' with frequent upsetting images; creepy Daemon designs and constant danger.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org, screenwiseapp.com
Self-harm & suicideModerate
A character contemplates suicide more than once (trigger warning) and a past suicide attempt is mentioned; a disguised murder is not self-harm.
Sources: thegeekiary.com, tvtropes.org
Death & griefSevere
A girl watches her mother decapitated; the twins' parents are missing and a villain claims he killed them. No animal death mentioned in sources.
Sources: animenewsnetwork.com, note.com
Alcohol, drugs & smokingMild
Rated 'a little': an adult drinks whisky and most drinking or smoking is in the background.
Sources: commonsensemedia.org
