No nudity in the entire tv show.
In an early episode, a seductive woman wears a tight catsuit and partly unzips her top a few times to activate a transmutation circle tattooed above her breasts. Cleavage is seen, but nothing further. Also, at one point during a fight, Edward pins her down, accidentally grabbing one of her breasts with his metal hand in the process (a bouncy sound effect is heard). He freaks out and apologizes profusely. Throughout the episode, the woman actually hits on Edward a few times (he's only 15), saying things like "it's always more fun when it's a man and a woman" and telling him to hit her up once he's older.
Edward is seen showering for a few seconds in episode 17 after he and Al spar with Armstrong. No nudity

Most of the violence is not very realistic and very bloody.
A child has his leg and arm dismembered, he looks down to see a bloody stump where his leg was.

Blood is seen pouring from the stumps of a character's leg and arm early on.
A child is burned alive.

Gluttony is told to eat people several times during the series. However, the scene aways cuts away before we see him actually eat the person. In one instance, chewing sounds can be heard for a few seconds after the camera cuts away.
A child is shown getting choked to death by his father. This could be disturbing for some people.
Wrath breaks Lust's finger, and she briefly screams in pain.
The treatment of Greed will probably upset those who sympathize with his character.
The graphic scene early on involving a boy without an arm and leg may disturb. He is also seen in agonizing pain while getting prosthetics attached.
A character's appearance may be frightening to some. He is shown to have lost his sanity, and had his entire body inked with transmutations.
All in all, the series is very gritty, not to mention much, much darker than both the original manga and "Brotherhood".
