As “Attack on Titan” opens up its world over time, viewers are introduced to a fascist regime where an ethnic group of people are forced to live in ghettos and used as cheap fodder on the battlefield. While there is no sexual violence in the series, there are hints in that direction a couple of times in “Attack on Titan.” Characters occasionally drink alcohol as well, and swearing is a regular occurrence, even if the worst four-letter-word offenders don’t show up at all.
On top of this, the violence tends to be visceral in a way that few other anime would have the stomach for. Chances are, if you compiled a “worst ways to die in anime” list, many of the entries would herald specifically from “Attack on Titan.” This should give just about any parent pause before they let their kids sit down with this one.
Ultimately, even with the bevy of distressing subject matter on display, many parents will still want to make their own choices with regard to whether their kids can handle “Attack on Titan.” After all, there’s a reason why you see younger kids wearing shirts that feature the characters and events of the series. Still, this is a show that you’ll want to vet pretty closely when deciding whether it’s appropriate for younger viewers.
