I think this is interesting idea, but why don't you just go to IMDb? Almost every anime has an IMDb page, and they have a parent's guide with them.

I myself go to IMDb . It's just that it'll be great if Mal adds such option for anime.

Just like IMDb
I'm asking it not cuz I'm a parent or anything
It's just that sometime even if show is not rated R , still it has some pretty gruesome scenes .
Like in Garden of Sinners 3 which had a ....well you know what scene.....which even though I'm adult , I couldn't stand to watch it.
I'd be nice if we could get a head up

I've never watched Garden of Sinners 3. I don't know what you are talking about? Is this episode 3?

IMDb classified "Cuties" a movie with child pornography as OK for teenagers to view. I am very cringe to approve of any guidance system that is incapable of rating child pornography correctly. I also don't approve of most sex scenes being approved for children viewing. For example: nearly naked stripper pole dancing is considered child safe according to the Half-time Super bowl show.

TLDR; rating systems can be corrupted when money gets involved.

The only perfect system would be one that allows the customer (us) to black list the bad rating critics individually if we disagree with them. Basically, a personal review/rating perfect for every person. I have personally witnessed critics/reviewers/ratings being paid to give specific scores, and I have also personally witnessed these same people getting fired from their jobs for not giving the scores their corporation told them to give.

Yeah, but that's spoilers and I don't fuck with spoilers. It being rated R is enough. Comparing one R rating to another isn't logical. They both met the guidelines to be rated R and that's all that's needed.

I never said REPLACING with the rating , but just add that as well , obviously hidden Under the spoiler tag

I never said anything about replacing the rating system. I'm just saying that it being rated R tells you everything you need to know without spoiling the content. I can't understand why someone would want to know what happens in a movie before watching it. That defeats the entire purpose of even watching it in the first place.

Here is the thing :
R rating is also given to some ecchi shows . Some which have scenes like bathing scene are tagged as mild nudity and R rating. I don't mind watching it . While some have explicit rape scenes which I absolutely hate . Now how am I supposed to know as to why a show is given R rating . While in parents guide , there will be a mention of the scene .
If it's a bathing scene then alright . Plus the statement " A girl is bathing half naked " doesn't spoil anything.
If it's a rape scene I'd either drop the movie or skip that scene . Since I wanted to know about such scene , I won't mind the spoiler
.
Secondly it's not that everyone is forced to read that . If you don't want then just don't . Simple . What's the problem.

In characters info on MAL , there are spoilers , there's no problem in it , right . U want to read them ok if you don't wanna , then u don't . I don't see there any problems .

If you can't handle R-rated content; don't watch R-rated content.

I don't see a problem with the parenting guide spoilers, because customers have the choice to view spoilers on forums/parenting guide if they want. They are not forced.

However, IMBD parenting guide is heavily corrupt. For example: Cuties on Netflix was originally tagged with child pornography (nude children in heavily sexually motivated scenes). The people in power forced IMBD to remove it, and now it is labeled a "documentary". Why would they remove the original parenting guide unless they were controlled by corrupt rich people?

These types of people gave "child pornography" several movie awards:

I think the best system would be one NOT motivated by greed/money. Give the customers the ability to black list the bad critics (like the convicted pedophile giving Cuties a Rated PG-15 for teenagers).

Hey I do, having a parents wouldn't be a bad thing. But if people want to find out more about shows beforehand I use sites like IMDB, commensensemedia, and themanimereviews.

Sex and nudity: 11/10

It's ok the blood is so thick that even kids can tell it's ketchup

Profanity: 1/10
May include use of the word "baka"

Alchohol, Drugs, and Smoking: 1/10
Who cares. It makes spike spigel look badass af

Frightening and Intense Scenes: 1/10

Although you can use IMBD, I agree that it wouldn't be a bad addition. I've been surprised before by explicit (not hentai level, but also not just implied) rape scenes, and I can imagine seeing something like that could be very triggering for some people. And no, it's not a matter of "just avoid R-rated stuff if you can't handle it lol". People have different boundaries. Parents' guides don't hurt anyone.

So I wouldn't classify "Cuties" as child pornography since there is no nudity which therefore makes it legal. Although, I completely agree with you that the actions the kids did should not be allowed and is disgusting, however, you have to keep in mind this movie comes from France and isn't even in English, therefore, laws and social norms are different on that type of stuff.

Also, as sad as it is, but kids are turning out more and more like this these days due to negligent parents, social media, and more exposure to the internet (tik-tok and fortnite). Just my 2 cents take it or leave it.

most of the time I check IMDb it is either incomplete or isn't supplied.
only popular stuff gets the parents guide, and usually it is the unpopular stuff which I need the information because I don't know anything about the show in that case.

also I feel that if it was on this website then people would be more likely to provide it, as anime gets more attention on this site and imdb doesn't really have as much community involvement in terms of anime.

given the volume of reviews, I would disagree. Parents guide information like that on IMDb is a lot less effort than reviews. It wouldn't be an overnight thing but it would eventually eclipse IMDbs parent's guides im sure.

Have you seen the "Cuties" movie? Or clips of the nudity scenes?

In my opinion, a sexualized movie that shows children naked = child pornography. It is arguable, but they still show children's nipples in a HARDCORE SERIALIZED movies. It is very hard to defend this as NOT child pornography when it has even earned the court's attention. It probably won't hold up in court because the child pornography law doesn't recognize boobs in it, only genitals.

If the producers lived in California, then they would be in prison now. California law says, "The sexual act can be real or simulated - covering everything from intercourse to masturbation, or exhibition of the genital area for the purposes of sexual gratification."

To summarize, CA laws:
#1) Nude + Genitals "for the purposes of sexual gratification" = Guilty
#2) Clothed + simulating sexual acts "for the purposes of sexual gratification" = Guilty

They clearly crossed the #2 line, in my opinion. They are guilty.

In any case, they definitely checked the laws in their location to make sure it was legal. I doubt anything would happen to them in court. However, owning a copy of Cuties in my state of CA could get me fined $2000 or give me a trip to prison.
