Content at a glance
More filled segments mean stronger content.
Sex & Nudity
The series has implied nudity, sensual characters, and recurring references to sexual arousal, prostitution, and other sexual themes. Blair first appears nude in a bathtub and later tries to seduce Soul.
Violence & Gore
Lots of fantasy violence with some gore, including a woman hunted and killed by a demon whose body is later shown torn apart in a pool of blood. Weapons include guns and a giant scythe.
Profanity
Occasional mild profanity, including "damn," "hell," and "ass" in subtitles.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Some scenes are set in bars, and Maka's father is a playboy who attends a bar where there are escorts.
Frightening Scenes
Battles with 99 demons and one witch set up lots of fighting, and some demon attacks are described as frightening; the review describes a heavy amount of slapstick fighting between main characters.
Positives & learning
More filled segments mean stronger positive content or learning value.
Positive messages
The series reinforces the benefits of supporting teammates, and the three teams almost always come together to complete shared goals despite not always getting along.
Role models
Maka and Soul work together toward a common goal despite their differences, though not all characters are likeable and some are rude or have outsized egos.
Representation
Female characters are often drawn with exaggerated large busts, and Soul mocks Maka's small chest, reflecting objectifying and stereotypical portrayals of gender; the review notes the typical school girls in short skirts and seductresses.
Learning
Families can discuss achieving goals, including how the characters reach theirs and what lessons apply to their own goals.
