Sex & Nudity

None
1319 of 2317 found this to have none
There are a few mild references to sex.
The only nudity that is displayed in this show is buttocks nudity and it is only seen from Titans as Titans are fully naked but have no genitalia whatsoever. On a couple of occasions we see male buttocks nudity from humans but it's not sexual at all.
Mainly just some kisses but thats it.
One kiss scene, not graphic.
The show is far from sexual, with little to no innuendo, flirting, or kissing. Some mild sexual references.
The only nudity is from the titans only buttocks are seen the anime is clean far from anything related to sex and nudity.
A girl is groped in season 3 episode .
The female titan has breast shaped things on her chest made of muscle.

Violence & Gore

Severe
1431 of 1561 found this severe
Extreme and disturbing violence is shown. Blood is shown when characters are fighting against Titans. VERY GRUESOME.
When violence occurs, there is no gore, but there is tons of blood.
Characters die frequently in disturbing ways, civilians are eaten with full gorey detail.
Numerous innocent civilians are killed throughout the series, such as men, women, and children alike. They are often crushed by falling debris from buildings and but no blood is seen. These scenes are meant to display the casualties of war.
A man changes into a titan, his opened up brain is visible as he has not yet used titan powers to be healed.
Characters are sometimes killed by others with some blood is shown.
In a flashback, children are shown eating pieces of their mother, this is easily one of the most disturbing scenes ever made. The mother's organs are shown. The scene lasts around 3 seconds(season 4 ep 21).
Lots of sci-fi sword battles with blood and gore against Titans. Lots of dismemberment with detail. Can be very intense and emotional at times with characters.
Titans are killed when the back of their neck takes damage. As such, people are constantly stabbing or slashing the back of Titan's necks with lots of gushing blood.

Profanity

Moderate
730 of 1284 found this moderate
"Sons of the devil's whore" is said a few times in Season 4.
Some occasional instances of PG-13 rated curse words such as "bitch" are present in the subtitles, but more often PG-13 rated language such as " "shit", ass", "damn", "hell", "bastard", etc.
The series has mild to moderate language.
There is one use of 'fuck' in season 4.
The English dub has no uses of "fuck", but it still contains frequent language particularly. However, there are more use of "son of a bitch" than in the Japanese version. Starting in Season 2, "goddamn" is also used, but other words like "hell", "damn", "bastard", "piss", "God", "crap", "ass", "asshole" and "shit" are used regularly.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Mild
969 of 1253 found this mild
One character is considered an alcoholic, drinking whiskey for several times he's on-screen.
Some characters are seen smoking cigarettes.
A group of men are seen clearly drunk.
Infrequent drinking in some episodes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Severe
1150 of 1286 found this severe
Many characters go slightly crazy as they know they are going to die when they go into the war.
The fact that most of the people going to war are only young teenagers (14-16) is quite shocking.
Some moderate violence with blood against titans.
Most of the battles throughout are long, drawn out and start with little to no warning.
The stakes of the storyline, involving the fate of entire cities, nations, and humanity itself, are extremely high.
Rated R for strong gory and disturbing frequent violence, moderate language, mild scenes of non-sexual nudity.
Brilliantly made, but can be very sad at times.
The show never feels dark, as the art style is very colourful and characters always have a sense of moral and justice. But almost all battle sequences have bloody images. But gore is never generally shown.
The art style of the anime is very colourful, it almost goes completely against the themes of the show.
There are many scenes with heavy themes of helplessness and deaperation shortly before a brutal and horrific death. The titans usually range in height from twice to twenty times the size of a human. They will gang up on people, they are not delicate about how they eat them, and the show doesn't turn away from the brutality of these moments or the sheer terror of the victims. It can be unsettling.
