Parents need to know that although this mature anime series is a fairly intelligent example of what science fiction is capable of, it's not for those who take their sci-fi lightly. It's extremely dense and complicated -- following the plot requires lots of effort -- which means it's likely to appeal most to teens and adults who are already deeply committed to the genre. Those who watch can expect frequent violence (including suicide bombings and terrorists) and some language.
Positive messages:The series serves as an overall metaphor on the problems of relying too much on technology, as well as a treatise on the horrors of war.
Sex:Female characters have exaggerated curves and some revealing outfits -- as per normal in anime. The unedited Japanese version (which isn't what airs on U.S. TV) includes partial nudity.
Language:Some use of words like "hell" and "damn."
Consumerism:There are video games and a movie related to the storyline/characters.
this is awsome and another YOUR WRONG MRS. TV 14 LV all there is a few uses of d#mn and hell and there is a little bit of gore but thats not a MA rating more like a 14 rating but thats your opinoin so i guess i'll have to live with it
I really like GitS 2nd GiG because like the films and manga, it ventures deep into the human psyche. Yes there's sex, I mean Kusanagi is prancing in lingerie! But the violence is the biggest issue. It reaches new heights in how graphic TV anime can be when showing violence. There's not just blood, but there's a lot of gore. Even BRAIN FRAGMENTS are seen when the members of Section 9 give the enemy a bullet in the head. No wonder The Matrix was inspired by GitS. Overall it's a good show, better than the first season by a long shot. But it's extremely violent.
I love this show, not for children of the younger persuasion.
Ok, this show is a SENEIN genre of anime, meaning "Young Adult Male" There is some sexual inndoendos, and the female lead is nude( Although she is just a robot and she's waring underwair, so, Topless would have been better.) There is copious bloodshed and violance( Especially in the Cyber Geshia episode.) The later episodes have a tonna language, but it's mostly bleeped out. They're freaking cops, so it's not like they're killing innocents or anything. Cyberpunk anime for teens and up.
Ghost in the shell SSSUUUUXXXX!!! It was so nasty, I couldnt even wath the end of the trailer!!!NOT GOOD for anyone under 18, and even if you are 18 and you watch it it means you have a sick mind!!! If you are a parent and you yet your teenage child watch this:SHAME ON YOU!!!
First off, this is a very violent show (blood and gore, the full works), the characters swear almost constantly (fortunately I didn't hear the F word), and if they aren't naked, they're near enough. That said, it's still VERY good. The characters are well developed, the plots are complex, and it makes you think.
