It is not rated R-17+-violence and profanity, yet sword art online is rated pg-13 and has more profanity and violence, therefore Modaka Magica's
rating is TV-14, change it to 13+, the rating is invalid, change it please.

It makes no SENSE AT ALL.

MAL does their ratings on their own scale, it's not related to official ratings a show may receive in Japan or the U.S.

Perhaps MAL doesn't rate things properly, i mean some are rated correctly and ALOT aren't.

Problem is that Steins;Gate was rated 17+ on MAL until late last year, which the rating suddenly became 13+ and I asked a mod about this and he said that it's possibly due to the official release on DVD/BDs in USA that rated it TV-14 or something, so it's stuck like that. So all modifications that re-rate S;G to be 17+ again are all and always be denied.
So bottomline is that, MAL has no rules towards this, they do as they please~ Only way to sort this out is asking DB admins, but only the heavens know when would they answer it.

The DmmD OVA is basically nothing but 30 minutes of borderline gore porn yaoi rape and yet the rating was set to PG-13 for a very long time before they changed it to R-17+

Ratings don't mean shit

Trying to put a rating that's distinctly western on something influenced by an entirely different culture is going to fail regardless

Madoka Magica always had really dark themes and some intense (but implied) violence, so I think I'm fine with the R rating.
It's the 3rd movie I don't think I find the R-rating worthy.

Now that you say it i kinda agree on madoka getting a slightly higher rating.
Sayaka slashing witches, laughing like a maniac with blood spraying over her face while she goes mentally wrecked can be pretty intense for a 12 yo

It used to be PG-13

I wonder why it changed because the licensors themselves even have listed it as PG-13
http://madokamagicausa.com/product-combo3.php

Hell even the films were rated G in Japan. (Though they're PG-13 through the licensor.)
There's nothing to point it towards needing a 17+ rating. DBZ is way more brutal than this show.

Anyway, there's actually an 80's series about hunting wolves that's rated PG-13 here and people said it has scenes with gore on them (on the uncensored version, of course).
