InuYasha is fine for anyone 11 and up. It doesnt have anything that bad besides language and mild violence. I watched it when I was about 10-11 and it was fine.

What Parents Need to Know
About InuYasha
Parents need to know that although some episodes of this fantasy-themed anime are tween-friendly, there is a fair amount of fighting, mostly between different species of demon. While older kids should be fine with it, younger kids could get a little scared. Other than that, there's a bit of salty language (of the "damn," "bastard," and "crap" variety), some innuendo and partial nudity in later episodes (nothing overly graphic), and one of the main characters has a nasty temper -- but teamwork usually rules the day.

My Second Anime
There are some nude scenes, and there is profanity. The characters are the good guys. Though they have their faults, what human (demon) doesn't? They fight for good, and to make their ambitions reality. That's enough of a good role model for me.

Anyone that's like a pre-teen or a tween can watch it.
I love this show, but it can be inappropriate. There's suggestive themes, partial nudity, cursing (a lot of it), and violence. Overall, it's still the best show I've ever watched! I recommend it!

Not the greatest anime in the world, but still good.
This is another anime I used to watch when I was 12. I know there are still teens my age (and older than me) who still like this show, but I think it's best for kids 12-13 years old. This isn't a kid's anime since there is plenty of action violence, a little bit of mild cussing, and a pervert. Like Naruto this show is really long and repetitive, so it can be a little boring at times. But the characters are lovable (especially Shippou) and it has a decent plot and some good action. Fine for kids 12+, and iffy for kids 8-11. Highly recommended as a first anime.
