Frieren: Beyond Journey's End: parents' guide

Sword and spell battles with demons and monsters. Slain monsters often crumble to dust, but several fights bring spurting blood and severed limbs, rival mages slash each other in an exam, and pleading demons are beheaded. A captured demon is forced to behead herself.

Swearing is infrequent: scattered 'damn,' 'hell,' 'ass,' 'crap,' 'piss' and 'bastard,' a few uses of 'bitch' and a rare s-word, depending on dub or subtitles. Most of the bite comes from dry teasing between travelers.

No romance beyond shy, awkward hints between the two young companions. Gags include a boy flipping up a woman's skirt with nothing shown, a mage wondering why her apprentice's chest is bigger than hers, and a few passing quips.

Characters drink at festivals and inns. A priest from the old party is a heavy drinker, shown flushed with a bottle and complaining of hangovers for gentle comedy, and later says he has quit. A few adults smoke. No drugs.

Human-looking demons who plead for their lives, skeletons, an army of puppeted corpses, and tense magic duels. Loss runs through the whole story: beloved companions age and die, and the heroine grieves the time she wasted with them.
