In one episode, Motoko walks out of a bathroom in only panties. Presumably after taking a shower. (breasts are shown, albeit covered by a towel wrapped around her shoulders.) The towel around her shoulders is taken off, and she is topless next to a young boy, but this is covered by strategic camera work.

The main character wears revealing and tight fitting clothing most of the time.

No nudity.

While sleeping together, a boy asks Motoko if cyborgs can have sex. She replies if he wants to find out, and he hesitantly turns her down.

Some gunshots and fighting with moderate blood.

One scene has civilians being gunned down.

A villain is shot.

Subtitled version: 9-13 uses of "shit" and "bastard", 3 uses of "bitch", and 1 use of "fuck".

English dub: infrequent use of "damn", "hell", "piss", "bastard", "ass", "bitch", "dickhead", and "shit".

Cocaine smuggling is mentioned, and cocaine is shown.

Occasional smoking and drinking.

The style is political and subdued for the most part, but there are still some disturbing scenes.

Moderate violence, but infrequent.

One episode focused on a traumatized torturer who skins his victims (thankfully the acts are kept off the screen and brief).

Some intense shootings and fights.

A sympathetic antagonist's death might be upsetting for many viewers.
