Sex & Nudity
-
- The main male character is seen in his underwear. This was in order to cross the river. Brief and not meant to be suggestive.
- Some mild innuendo from the local townswomen towards a handsome young man.
- Several women make sexual remarks toward a young man.
- A girl attempts to feed a boy by her mouth.
- A few references to women working in the smelting industry being recruited from the local brothels.
- Many women wear loose clothing that displays cleavage while working the bellows in an iron ore refinery.
Violence & Gore
-
- Many people attempt to shoot a teen girl. One of the bullets hits her mask. The shot shatters a mask she is wearing and does not harm her.
- Arms and legs get chopped or shot off, with the bone and muscle shown in extreme detail.
- Although spread out, it does get quite brutal at times.
- A man is decapitated and blood is seen pouring out of the neck before the corpse falls over.
- The movie would be rated R if it wasn't animated.
- Although animated, there are several battle scenes throughout the film. These scenes can show human cruelty. A notable scene features samurai raiding a village and slaughtering innocent people. This scene alone features decapitation and several limbs being cut off and man swinging his sword at a woman's back. Her backpack protects her from being killed.
- A man has his arms shot off by an arrow, and another man has his head shot off with an arrow. The former is seen up close, but briefly, the latter is seen from a distance without detail, but then seen up close with plenty of detail.
- A man has his arm cut off with a sword, and another man is shot in the chest with an arrow, though little detail is seen and it's fairly brief.
- Many instances of men being shot with arrows and guns, but blood is not shown.
- A man is shown being shot from the back with a gun, but the bullet passes through him. The wound still bleeds through his clothes. Eventually, plenty of blood is seen spilling all over him and he soon passes out from blood loss.
- Animals are shot at and bombed with grenades (neither are graphic). A wild boar dies, we see its body burn and deteriorate. A wolf is shot at and we are shown the bloody entry hole of the bullet. The dead (but not bloody) bodies of animals are shown. An elk is shot with an arrow and has blood dripping down it's leg. A massive boar with multiple bloody injuries is shown. A boar vomits out huge amounts of red sickly blood a couple of times in a row. A mythological animal is shot with a gun and there is a brief splurt of blood.
Profanity
-
- One character asks if soup tastes like "Donkey Piss". In the actual Japanese version, the character simply says that it tastes like hot water.
- Japanese version: two uses of d*mn
- English version: About 5 uses of "damn," a few "bastards," 1 use of "piss," 2 uses of "Oh my God"
- Some name-calling, but nothing too bad (i.e. "wolf girl," "idiot," "moron," "ruler of beasts," "dope," "dumb," etc.)
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Some characters drink sake, as was common in the time period
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- This movie isn't like other Studio Ghibli movies, it's very intense and rather violent throughout, rather than humorous.
- This Movie is very violent but all violence/gore is animated
- The film contains moderate violence but briefly.
- A character is placed under a curse which appears as a black-violet scar on his arm. As the curse progresses the scar spreads as far as his back and chest; at times it becomes agitated and causes the arm to swell grotesquely.
- There are some very creepy looking creatures.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- A huge mythical deer's head is shot off and carried away by four men.
- A woman's arm is bitten off by a decapitated wolf's head. Some blood is shown but the wound is largely obscured by clothing.
- A giant boar dies and begins to rapidly decompose until only skeletal remains are left. Its eye sinks into its skull and the flesh rots off with blood coagulating in mere seconds.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- A major character ends up getting corrupted and turns into a demon, it then ends up corrupting another even more major character and turning them into a demon as well. To prevent them from rampaging, a spirit kills them both out of mercy. This scene isn't too violent, but very emotional.
- A main character is revealed to have been abandoned to die by her own parents as a baby, this revelation is very emotional.
- The film has a strong ecological theme and shows destruction of the forest, deer spirit, boars and tree spirits.
- A deer's head is shot off (only a faint trickle of blood). Black goo pours out of the body and kills everything it touches.
- A creature under a magical curse is covered with a mass of worm-like tentacles, giving it a horrific, spider-like appearance. The opening scene in which the creature is met is very intense, and ends with flesh melting off the creature's bones, leaving a huge bloody skeleton behind it.
- Towards the end of the film the scenes can get very intense, as the forest dies, turning into a nightmarish landscape and the previously benevolent Daidarabocchi becomes a frightening, transparent giant that kills everything it touches.
