Sex & Nudity

- A rape scene takes place.
Violence & Gore
-
- Two puppies are killed onscreen with graphic results and later eaten by freaks, upsetting the main character.
- A girl can be seen tearing a roosters eye out with her teeth.
- A girl finds the corpse of her mother being eaten by rats.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The animation, art and music is extremely unsettling. The art style is adapted wholesale from a horror manga and looks different to what's normally accepted as anime.
- The freaks torment, rape and abuse Midori through the whole movie. They're among the most heartless anime characters imaginable.
- The scene with the puppies being killed and eaten will upset animal lovers.
- Numerous surreal sequences and creepy nightmares from Midori's perspective.
- The scene where the dwarf kills his audience may be disgusting and disturbing
- If this film were rated by the MPAA, it would absolutely be rated R for strong grotesque violent images and disturbing content throughout including animal abuse and child exploitation and for sexual violence.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- A young girl turns out to be a crossdressing boy when, after urinating in a lake, he turns around and exposes his penis to Midori. The boy's naked butt is also shown in this scene.
Violence & Gore
- The dwarf magician has a mental breakdown and enters a state of extreme rage after someone makes fun of his height. He then uses his powers to mutate, disembowel and burn his audience. The imagery is extremely gory and disgusting, showing lots of explicit body horror similar to David Cronenberg's "The Fly" and John Carpenter's "The Thing". Despite the scene's graphic nature, it at least shows us a subtle message about what could happen if you make fun of someone.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- In the final moments of the film, Midori is trapped in a completely empty room with nobody there to protect her, showing that she will go through everything again. The only audio is her earsplitting screams of fear. Very disturbing and very devestating to many viewers.
