Dandadan: parents' guide

Frequent bloody fights with ghosts and aliens; characters are beaten bloody, burned and mutilated. In the first episode aliens pin the teen heroine down and threaten to rape her with a metal device, and she narrowly escapes another sexual assault later.

Moderate: "bitch," "bastard," "ass," "piss" and "crap," at least one s-word, and God's name used in vain. Counts differ between the dub and subtitles.

Crude sexual humor drives the plot: a ghost steals the boy's genitals and the teens joke about it constantly. The leads are often stripped to underwear or naked with nudity obscured, and outfits and innuendo are suggestive.

The heroine's grandmother, a gruff spirit medium, almost always has a cigarette in her mouth, and the show plays it as part of her character. No drug use or drunkenness is reported.

Grotesque, psychedelic spirits and aliens plus body horror. A flashback shows loan sharks stealing a poor single mother's daughter and the mother taking her own life, and a later arc centers on children sacrificed to a monster.
