Unless it was aired on T.V, there is no exact rating. |

| The MPAA rating system is arbitrary anyway. Violence is R but "sci-fi violence" is PG-13. Also, they have a tendency to air on the side of restrictive ratings when dealing with any gay issues. Watch the documentary "This Film is Not Yet Rated." That entire system stinks. |

stanklem28 said: Then how can I tell if the anime's full of sex and/or violence versus full of moe and/or comedy without reading the plot summaries. The plot summaries themselves are also a sketch since there's no guarantee the they'll be there on wikipedia. Sex is probably more likely to get it labelled an R than semi-graphic or at least a little graphic violence. But the same is true for movies. The Dark Knight, hell, even The Grudge is rated PG-13, but so is Step Up: Revolution. The official MPAA ratings system isn't even a good way to tell these things anymore. Honestly, the whole ratings system is mostly for the benefit of lazy parents. "Don't bother doing research on which movies your kid should watch. Here's an easy score to let you know so you can keep on neglecting them!" I dunno. Look at the rating, the genres, and 9 times out of 10 you'll be fine. |

Naruto had some killing and blood and it was rated PG-13. Should've upped it to R and add more violence and/or sex so adults could enjoy more unrestricted content instead of kids committing suicide by imitating Gara hahaha, remember that? Damn it all. Rating (on MAL) can't be trusted and genres can't help determine mature content. Ecchi and harem can sometimes be PG-13, when they should be R. It's so hard! Wow man thanks for the laugh today. |

| If it has had an offical release there will be a rating with your country's rating agency. If not the it's always going to be unoffical. Check DVDs on Amazon perhaps. |

-Miyu- said: You can't. Ratings are based off of opinion. Look guys, an anime has nudity. Must be based off opinion! Yeah, but this. Miyu gave an example of how the system isn't accurate. A lot of people put things into groups based on their opinions (ex. blood violence), while other things such as nudity are pretty accurate. Ratings aren't the best thing to go by OP, watch it yourself and determine if it is fitting for whatever you're doing this for. You seem pretty mature, dunno why rating should matter to you. |

stanklem28 said: Noinochi said: Rating determines whether an anime has excitement. G to PG rating anime has nothing happen. Chances are, comedy is its main attraction, not a deep plot. When you move to PG-13, you hit some excitement found in romance, drama, etc., but there isn't much. When you hit R rating, the world opens for deep thought, and there are lots of places for excitement (even though some anime/film producers overlook this) to occur. The anime can question life and death, look at societal flaws and its wrongs, question the pros and cons of killing, have nice fights where the brutal death of an opponent is the only resolution, analyze the primal instincts of humans, and more.-Miyu- said: You can't.

I remember on some Manga site that has Fairy Tail as 18+ with adult content. Mangafox, most likely. Never judge ratings on mangafox, since they can easily be changed by the users without moderators even caring if it'd accurate or not. If you really wanted to, you could change the summary of naruto to "Stupid ass male lead with stupid ass adventures and laodkaosdkoak". |
| Heh, "True". Totally not subjective at all. |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |

Don't answer. It's the same redundant crap when it comes to you. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
Madeline said: stanklem28 said: I always use content rating to judge what anime I should watch You're doing it wrong. This. I really don't care about rating, I can enojy pretty well a kids show like Kaidan Restaurant as well as "bloody" one like Elfen Lied. Unless you are a parent and you want something suitable for your children I don't see the point. The reviews and the synopsis should be enought. I would hate to close my options because of a rating. |
| I really fail to see how content rating is a legit reason to decide what to watch. Especially when you say that the rating can show you how good the show is. |
| Wait, someone actually cares about the content ratings here?! |
stanklem28 said: It's been expressed that content ratings are bullshit. It has also been expressed in the past that plot summaries are insufficient, hence making them bullshit.What bullshit? |
