Sex & Nudity

  • Faye and Murdoch are held up by Spike in his ship, Faye is handcuffed to a pole and positioned upright in minimal clothing whilst Murdoch is also restrained, implying a sexual nature.
  • Jet calls a "contact" over video link and in a shot of the recipient of the call we see an office, the man is reading a pornographic magazine and whilst nothing explicit is noted the outlines of various women and their bodies can be seen.
  • Faye is again captured and video calls the men, she's once more scantily clad breasts practically visible.
  • Faye in femme fatale mode seduces a Male in a restaurant believed to be a criminal, there's various different angles of her rear and then breasts as she suddenly realises its the wrong guy, throughout there's various uses of suggestive language.
  • The recurring "big shot" bounty update segment features a blonde woman donning a tight and unbuttoned shirt that reveals the inner of her breasts. Seen on a practically episodic basis.
  • Bare boobs (with nipples drawn) are shown
  • Faye is naked taking shower (buttocks visible)
  • We see an image from shoulder up of a man and woman in bed (presumably during coitus) for roughly a second.
  • There are 4-5 shots of scantily clad women. Not detailed or long-lasting.
  • Faye often wears revealing outfits and sometimes uses this to her advantage. There are a few instances of innuendo.
  • We see two men from chest up in a sexually compromising position in bed after they are interrupted. We don't hear anything sexual.
  • We see Faye's back in the shower for a second or two while she stands motionless.

Violence & Gore

  • After a massacre, we see a man's ribcage sticking out of his side.
  • Mostly moderate violence, although in some episodes, it can be borderline severe.
  • There's lots of strong animated violence; not for the faint of heart. Hitmen use machine guns to blow victims away; many other uses of guns; bloody, graphic deaths.
  • Some moderately bloody violence. There are shootings and a few fistfights, with some blood, although some fights are comedic.
  • Bloody bodies are strewn about in the aftermath of a murder in two scenes.
  • A villain kills several men by sword. We see blood spurting shortly.
  • A man is experimented on in a dream, his eyes are about to be slashed. Cybernetic organs in jars are briefly seen in the background.

Profanity

  • Mild profanity: Frequest uses of "hell", and "damn".
  • Some (mostly) moderate language (i.e "shit," "son of a bitch," "goddammit").

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Very little, cigarette smoking throughout though
  • Smoking throughout, as well as some drinking. A number of scenes take place in bars.
  • Three characters each unknowingly eat a hallucinogenic mushroom, and experience a different hallucination (two of which we see for a bit).
  • A dealer sprays a mist-like drug into his eyes a few times in the first episode. We see them bloodshot and swollen twice for a bit.
  • A few scenes involve drug smuggling from side-characters/antagonists.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Animals (specifically a dog) are seen in peril. May be difficult or upsetting for some viewers to watch.
  • This is a fairly dark and melancholy neo-noir animation.
  • A disused fridge is shown from the inside with slime, fungus, mold, bacteria and decaying matter. It's all shown in great detail and in close-up, and it can be frightening and disgusting for some.
  • Besides of being an action packed dark comedy the series can get very emotional and melancholic at moments
  • A few sadistic scenes involving two villains (Vicious and Pierrot).
  • The backstories of certain characters can be dark and unsettling.
