In Japanese forums, a post on X (formerly Twitter) by user @m_hariqmaharita, who claims to be the mother of a minor, generated intense discussion. She criticized the fact that her son's friends were watching Chainsaw Man, even though it is a film recommended only for viewers over 16 years old.

According to the mother, the situation is reminiscent of the Kimetsu no Yaiba phenomenon , where many children watched the anime despite its violent scenes. "I want to stay away from families who allow cartoons rated for viewers over 16 without restrictions," she wrote.
She also stated that the work, in addition to its brutality, uses the female body as the protagonist's motivation, something she considers unacceptable. She further rejected the argument that banning this type of content would turn children into "repressed adults" in the future.
Reactions in the forums
The post quickly generated hundreds of responses, with opinions divided:
- "It's erotic and grotesque, it's not for children."
- "If that's the case, then let them watch Anpanman."
- "It's not very different from Dragon Ball or Fist of the North Star."
- "The fault lies not with the anime, but with the parents who leave children awake at midnight."
- "They should watch Bocchi the Rock! or SPY x FAMILY."
- "Kimetsu no Yaiba also features deaths and dismemberments, and children witness them."
The debate shows that, in Japan, age ratings remain a controversial topic among parents and anime fans.
