Our take
A Japanese anime compilation with a new episode, rated US NR in the UK and US NR in Australia. Giant-monster fights bring blood and gore, military gunfire and intense destruction. Language stays mild, and no strong sexual content is reported. Best for 16 and up.
Uplifting themes
Perseverance and protecting others drive the lead Kafka works to protect civilians while chasing his dream
