IMDb lists it as being rated r18+ in Japan (same age rating as the freaking Terrifier movies). Is this legit? That’s pretty darn rare for an anime, even the most graphically violent and sexual ones only get a 15 at most.

That is based and a huge badge of honor. Age rating censorship should not being an issue with that rating.

Ya, it is mainly due to the first episode. There might be one more showcase of that stuff in later episodes. However, the story drops that stuff going forward.

It does feel fetishised. Imo its worse than blatant nudity. And God forbid they make the characters 18+. I just feel wrong watching this shit

An anime with adult characters and not set in a high school? Does such a thing even exist?

Definitely shouldn’t have an r18 rating, but if that’s what it takes for shows to not be censored I’m fine with it

Japan always plays it safe, but I don't see why. They have shit there that will make you want to pour bleach in your eyes available there. I think they're just playing it safe because of the supernatural aspect, plus rape/sexual assault scenes. Then again, as I said before, there's a lot out there bordering on hentai/porn that has the 18+ tag, so who knows? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

@iqmoi and then you remember it's a fucking cartoon... right?

If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

I mean I would be more surprised if it was not 18+ rated
And also horror in general is rated 16+ or 18+

Dandadan becomes pretty tame later on compared to the first episode. I'm sure it was made that way on purpose so people would talk about it.

I thought japan don't use age ratings, they leave that responsibility up to the parents, as it should be
