Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that although Afro Samurai is animated, it's not a cartoon for kids. There's extreme violence (including beheadings, rivers of gushing blood, and more), sex (including some bare breasts), and adult language ("f--k," "s--t") throughout.

Sexual Content

It may be animated, but there's still nudity -- bare breasts, as well as some pretty steamy sex scenes.

Violence

Even by anime standards, this show reaches extraordinary levels of violence. Beheadings, rivers of blood, body parts flying -- you name it, and someone's likely going to slice it off.

Language

Lots of gritty, adult-level cursing, including "f--k," motherf--ker," and "s--t."

Social Behavior

The primary message is simply "You have to kill to get what you want." Characters use violence to achieve their goals, never once attempting to discuss problems with their adversaries. Verbal communication not a priority in this world.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Many characters smoke, and no one shies away from any of the major vices.
