Kaiju No. 8: parents' guide

Constant battles in which giant monsters are shot, slashed and blasted apart amid heavy blood and spilled innards. People get hurt too, with severed limbs and stabbings, and kaiju kill and absorb humans. The hero's early job is cleaning up kaiju remains.

Mostly mild words like "damn," "hell" and "crap," but season 1 also includes "bastard," "ass," "asshole," "piss" and at least one "shit." No f-words were noted.

No nudity or sex. One season 1 episode jokes about reproductive organs, ogling and older women, and a crude gag shows a creature urinating from its nipples. The hero and his childhood friend share only a promise.

No drinking, smoking or drug use is noted in the episode-by-episode content advice we checked for season 1.

Menacing, sharp-toothed kaiju attack the city, and a young girl is distraught when her mother is trapped under rubble. A man's transformation into a fanged monster plays like horror. In season 2 a young officer's father is absorbed by a kaiju, followed by his funeral.
