Content Indicators

Category Weight + to ***
For all the categories in this section choose (if applicable) a weight between + (slight) to *** (excessive) describing the worst case of specific category occurrence in the anime.

The content indicators branch is intended to be a less geographically specific tool than the 'age rating' used by convention, for warning about things that might cause offence. Obviously there is still a degree of subjectivity involved, but hopefully it will prove useful for parents with delicate children, or children with delicate parents.

Subcategories

Nudity

Are naked humans shown?

Nudity is the state of wearing no clothing. Based on scientific research it is estimated that humans have been wearing clothing for 650,000 years. It is related to the concept of modesty and is sometimes used to refer to wearing significantly less clothing than expected by the conventions of a particular culture and situation, and in particular exposing the bare skin or intimate parts.

Especially gracious fanservice shows tend to show their, mostly female, characters, most often without any clothes, only hiding genitals through the means of additions like steam.

Category Weight +   Naked skin is shown, e.g. naked buttocks. E.g. sitting around naked only barely covered by a towel at a hot springs. Wearing skimpy swimsuits usually would not count.
  *   Breasts (without nipples) are shown. Transformation nudity may fall into this case.
  *+  Fully exposed breasts with nipples are shown, e.g. during a shower scene, at the hot springs or bath house. Usually the maximum rating used in ecchi anime.
  **  Full frontal nudity with nipples and/or visible genitals. Note: Rarely used in ecchi anime. An example of a non-porn 400 weight anime is Elfen Lied
  **+ Most borderline porn / hentai.
  *** Go all the way to *** for close up genitals of either gender (more or less anatomically correct), even if pixeled out in a particular release.

Almost all porn/hentai also goes here.

Bit of sarcasm: + for an ankle, *** if you glimpse a garter... er... I guess stuff changes with times. Nipples seem to be a particular issue at the moment in certain parts.

Reminder A discussion on updating this content indicator was held in this [CReq] (18.09.2015).

Sex

Is there sex? Known as intercourse, the ultimate bond of love.

Category Weight +   If it's off-screen or 'implied' vote +.
  *** Ascend right up to outright porn with ***.

PROPOSED UPDATE For reference: see this creq .

Category Weight +   Sex is 'implied', in that the sexual activities are not portrayed on camera and happen outside of what the viewer sees.
Example, implied: A couple walks into a love hotel. Flash forward, and they are getting dressed in the morning while in the love hotel room.
  *+  Sexual activity that is on camera but not directly visible in frame (e.g. obscured by furniture, sounds can be heard from the room next door, etc), and/or sexual activity that does not involve contact of genital's between both partners (e.g. fellatio).
  *** Outright, obvious, sexual activities involving contact between the partners' genitals (vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse, scissoring/tribadism etc).

In the case of non-porn, it is notionally kept "off-camera" through the use of camera angles and/or creative censorship.

Example: vaginal intercourse with the camera coming from behind the penetrating male partner, such that the male's body obscures all view of both partners' genitals).

Almost all porn/hentai also goes here.

Violence

Is violence prevalent? Physical force against self or other, compelling action against one's will on pain of being hurt.

Category Weight +   If slapstick violence is prominent add a +.
  *** For popping eyeballs and close up disembowelment bestow ***.
