Sex & Nudity
-
- There is highly stylized, nonsexual nudity in both the opening sequence of the show as well as recurring transformation sequences. Similarly to most magical girl transformation sequences, only the outlines of girls' bodies/breasts are briefly visible as they transform.
- Some female characters wear skin-tight/cleavage-baring outfits as they fight.
- There is some infrequent mild innuendo and flirtation played for laughs; a girl is teased about her innocence and told that another girl is tempted to take advantage of her.
Violence & Gore
-
- Frequent moderate fantasy violence and threat. Lots of fantasy creatures are punched, kicked, and split in half with weapons, but simply explode when defeated.
- There are some occasional more realistic depictions of violence against humans, sometimes with bloody injury detail. We sometimes see characters fall and lie in a pool of blood, or a character covered in blood after a fight.
Profanity
-
- Infrequent use of mild coarse language ('damn', 'hell') in the official subtitles.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The character of Tsubasa is quite a tragic one in the series. Ever since Kanade's death in the very first episode, the show portrays her as stoic, and quite cold towards Hibiki, due to her having to be a less experienced Symphogear user, and having to be Kanade's replacement. It's not until the fourth episode that it's revealed that Tsubasa gave up being like other girls so that she could continue her duty as a Symphogear user. Her tragic story and personality may upset viewers.
- The start of the first episode can get quite intense. Hibiki just wants to go to a concert hosted by Tsubasa and Kanade, but the Noise go and ruin it, and kill civilians. While Tsubasa and Kanade do defeat most of the enemies in their Symphogears, Hibiki gets caught in the fight, and gets a very horrible and bloody wound, so Kanade sacrifices herself and dies in Tsubasa's arms. The entire scene can quite disturbing for viewers.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- In the first episode, Hibiki looks under her breasts to reveal a scar, which was a piece of Kanade's Symphogear following the events of the first episode.
- There is a minor scene of nudity in the eighth episode. While Miku is hospitalising Chris in the start of the episode, Miku dressed Chris in her track team shirt, but Chris wasn't wearing any underwear because Miku had no spares, but Chris's private parts are covered by the size of Miku's head.
Violence & Gore
- The start of the third episode is quite graphic, as it shows how Kanade Amou got her Symphogear prior to the events of the show. While doing the medical test to connect her with a Symphogear, she gets out of her medical bed, and vomits a large pool of blood, which sprays everywhere in the room, and Kanade puts her bloodstained hand on the window.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- A girl is injected with a drug in an attempt to unlock her power, which doesn't work at first. She then takes the vial and injects herself with more than she was supposed to have, finally unlocking her power.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- During a fight late into the second episode, the character Hibiki Tachibana complains about not getting to go see a shooting star with her friend Miku due to her job. Because of this, her face goes black, her eyes turn red, and she goes on a violent rampage against the Noise. The character is normally kindhearted and selfless, so her quick personality shift and angry glaring smile might scare viewers.
- Early in the fourth episode, the character of Tsubasa manages to defeat the mysterious armoured warrior by singing a song similar to the one that Kanade used to protect Hibiki. However, Tsubasa is extremely wounded, and parts of her armour were broken in the process, and she is on the verge of death, needing to receive life support, though she manages to survive in the next episode. Her extremely bloody face and the horrible wound she received may also scare viewers.
- In the fifth episode, the character Chris Yukine is seen tied up and scolded by an unknown villain, and is punished by being electrocuted, while she screams in pain. Afterwards, she gets electrocuted and screams again. This scene can be quite disturbing to viewers.
- In the fifth episode, a group of government agents from the EU are trying to research a mysterious weapon called Durandal. However, while on the journey, a group of assassins catch the agents by surprise, and they assassinate all the agents, with the leader getting shot off-screen, with the screen producing a bright red flash. This scene might disturb and/or catch viewers off-guard.
- Right at the start of the tenth episode, the character Ryouko Sakurai is Swatted by US government agents, who know she is hiding something about the Relics. As a result, they fire their guns and Ryouko gets a very bloody wound, as she taunts them, as the government agents shoot her and blood completely covers the screen. Just like the Prime Minister's death in the fifth episode, this scene may disturb and/or catch viewers off guard.
