Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 14–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Uncle Grandfather is an extremely poor role model -- he's more interested in masturbation than guiding his nephew.

  • Violence:

    Gerald's ear is sliced off in a cartoony way; other cartoon violence.

  • Sex:

    Sensei is a salacious old man; a schoolgirl's skirt rides way too high (she also favors thongs); a tree comes on screen and announces "I have sex with dogs!"

  • Language:

    Bleeped "f--k"s, as well as phrases like "suck it."

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Perfect Hair Forever

Parents need to know that this mature animated comedy series is a parody of traditional anime shows and video games. It won't make sense to the uninitiated, but to those in the know, it's pretty funny stuff. Much of the humor revolves around iffy content that's exaggerated for laughs -- a scantily clad schoolgirl, a scandalous man who's more interested in masturbating than being a good role model, strong language, etc. -- and makes the show age-inappropriate for very young teens, tweens, and kids.
