A teenage brother and his little sister take a bath together naked. Nothing sexual.

A little girl runs around with a blanket naked.

In one scene, the older brother is wearing minimal clothing meaning you can see his behind this only happens once

We see a little girl (about three years old, a toddler) standing bare naked in front of her little shelter. He can see her full naked front and a tiny little X is drawn in her pelvic region to seemingly represent her genitalia. The "camera" shoots this from a somewhat distant perspective.

A four-year-old girl is urinating and her buttocks can be seen very briefly.

A teenager is shown dying of starvation.

An intense scene involves a Japanese town being bombed by Americans during World War II. The aftermath is emotionally resonant, with lots of destruction, smoke, and dead bodies piled up along the roadside.

At a later point in the movie a pile of dead bodies are seen being burned to dispose of the rotted and decomposing bodies.

There is one very sudden fly-by shooting.

A man throws a teenage boy to the ground and treats him very roughly after he catches him stealing his food. The teenage boy is later seen covered with bruises, scratches and cuts. A police officer threatens to charge the man with assault.

In the English dub there is 5 uses of damn (some as goddamn, 2 uses of hell. The other entry says that there's harsher language but the profanity listed above is about as bad as it gets. Besides that there's some mild insults.

Some mild profanity (i.e. god damn, jerk, hell). In the english dub, harsher language such as "shit" and "piss" are used.

A man smokes from a pipe.

The entire film is sad as it shows a visceral depiction of the horrors of war.

The entire film is quite sad and will definitely make you cry.

Heartbreakingly emotional and depressing scenes are shown in the movie, especially in the beginning and the end. This may sadden and/or frighten younger viewers.

Many of the "real world circumstances" of WWII wartime Japan are addresses here in as serious a way as any movie of this genre. Hunger, starvation, death, loss of family members and so on are seen here.

Dead and rotting bodies are seen throughout the film.

A boy is seen dying in a train station.

One scene of a few characters walking through a makeshift hospital (an elementary school), where the patients are seen wrapped in bandages, some screaming out in pain.

Two funerals, where the bodies are burned over fires in caskets.

The film is very emotionally intense, especially the ending, which is very upsetting.
